I've always wanted to have a job where i could be in charge of the fun for the team. I'd like to start us off with a PIZZA PARTY! no, just kidding, i'm not some middle manager that underpays his employees. What i'd really like to do is start us off with hookers and cocaine! no, gotcha again! Not doing that one either, it's not the mid-90's and we're not sad. We're the Whalers.

The concept of 'fun' can and does mean different things to different people, so the first thing i'd do as fun director is have a small chat with each member of the team to see what their idea of fun is. I'm just a conduit. If there is a certain theme that stands out, then that's what we'll do. If the squad is all over the place with their ideas then i'd pick a couple of the best ones and have a vote. my idea of a fun time is taking the boys and girls on a shopping trip that is paid for by the team (of course). Have to look good to play good.

Do you hate offense? Do you think scoring goals is stupid? Have you been known to cheer for a good defensive play? Then Remington Richardson III is the prospect for you.

Completely shunning the offensive part of the game in favor of strong defensive skills, Richardson III belongs in the defensive zone. So much of the game today is predicated on strong offense, offensive zone play and the transitional phase. Richardson III doesn't care about that. If he can disrupt your zone entry then he's done his job. If he can take away your lane, or block your shot, or use his reach to help kill your powerplay then even better.

When the going gets tough and you're in an elimination game holding onto a one goal lead, Richardson III is the defender you want on the ice. Richardson III is built for the late playoff rounds where the ref's put their whistles away. A little grab, a hold, a small positional advantage. He knows how to play the post-season.

Oh yes, RR3 has one very particular superstition. He changes his underwear every intermission. It's a gigantic pain in the ass because he has to get completely undressed then redressed every single period break. But, it happened once and his team in England won so he does it every single game.

Remington Richardson III will be spending his time this offseason resting and relaxing. He calls it the RRRR. Or, RR4 if you prefer. RR3 uses his RR4 time doing a lot of hot yoga and going to see football matches. No, not american football but since he's from Great Britain, he means soccer. He doesn't have a favorite squad, instead favoring to attend the matches with the supporters of the local sides. He's just there to take in some good competition and enjoy being amongst people.

For hot yoga, RR3 has a specific instructor that he visits who graciously rents out the entire room for him and any of his friends that he'd like to bring along. They do advanced moves that are helpful for recovery as well as rest and relaxation. Or, RR5. RR3 comes out of his RR5 time feeling limber and ready to attack that days workout. It's a difficult thing to do, keeping your body at the high level needed to play in the SMJHL and eventually the SHL, but RR3 is doing everything he can to eventually get called to the big leagues.

In his spare time, RR3 also enjoys going to the movies and reading. He is particularly looking forward to the new Dune instalment.

So, i've made it a personal commitment to never set 'get a job' as a goal. In spots where i believe i can add value to the site then i'll happily apply and if selected i'll do a damn good job. But 'working' is never going to be a 'goal'.

Then, as a new member of the site i've made it a mission of mine to figure out how this damn thing works. I think i've done that to a fairly good degree. Then, the next goal of mine would be to be drafted into the SHL. I believe i'm on course to make that happen, and as much as i might want to be a first rounder, i don't think i quite have the clout for that.

Once i get into the league, the eventual goal is to become the premier defensive d-man in the SHL. I know that's a big goal but that's something i'll work toward. I don't quite think the HOF is something that's possible as my player will not be accumulating a lot of counting stats. Maybe if my team wins a few titles, he'll find a way to sneak in. RR3 is just happy to be here.
