Pretty important, atmosphere adds fun to playing.
Are you willing to help build that atmosphere to be a place everyone wants to be?
I'll do my best
Are you okay with coming to an expansion team, understanding that there may be bumps in the road on the way to winning?
Yep, also it gives a good chance to crack the SHL lineup earlier.
Do you need to win right away?
No, but I want to win the championship at some point.
Team success or personal stats?
One usually doesn't exist without the other

How do you feel about the New Orleans Specters branding?: It's fucking awesome.
How important is the locker room atmosphere to you? Very important. I get that, as an expansion team, it might not be A++++ to start because you have to start somewhere.
Are you willing to help build that atmosphere to be a place everyone wants to be? Uh huh
Are you okay with coming to an expansion team, understanding that there may be bumps in the road on the way to winning? Hell yes
Do you need to win right away? Negative

How do you feel about the New Orleans Specters branding?: Definitely cool, the purple and black scheme reminds me of the WHL's Hitmen. Being called a Specter is pretty awesome too.
How important is the locker room atmosphere to you?: Semi? I like to idle and hang out and chip in to discussions. I'm not a wallflower but i'm not a huge social butterfly.
Are you willing to help build that atmosphere to be a place everyone wants to be?: Of course, were all here to have fun and win games. I look forward to doing my part to help out in this case.
Are you okay with coming to an expansion team, understanding that there may be bumps in the road on the way to winning?: Every championship team goes through highs and lows. I want to be here for the bad times and the good times. When we win, I want to be able to say we didn't have it handed to us, we fought like hell to get there.
Do you need to win right away?: I'd rather earn it, so no, I don't need to win right away.
Team success or personal stats?: Team success, its all about the team.
What's your current favorite song?: Back Down - Bob Moses
How long do you want to play in the SMJHL?: When I first joined I was married to 3 seasons, as I'm finishing up, I'd still like to play the other two but I am not married to it, if the team needs me sooner I will do what is best for the team.
Would you be interested in potentially joining the Specters "inner circle" on personnel decisions, including giving thoughts on trades, and scouting for future drafts?: Of course, whatever I can do to help.
Who's better? Joe K or TDZ?: I don't know either one of you, so ill say both
Give me a bit more as to why i should draft you.
If you draft me, you're going to get someone who is committed to New Orleans for life. Someone who is going to work hard and try to help every member on the team give their very best. You're going to get someone who is active, who puts out media and who builds TPE. Everyone in the SHL wants to be a superstar, me included, but I'm not a primadonna, I keep my head down, I do my job and I do it to the best of my ability.

I do every PT and AC but that's to be expected. What you want me for is my media. If you wanna become the talk of the league, you get me and I'll be writing the wildest things to get every prospect's attention. They'll see what's going on with the Specters and be like "now that's the wild shit I wanna be a part of".

How do you feel about the New Orleans Specters branding?: The logo and colors is up there as one of my favorites in the league.
How important is the locker room atmosphere to you? Very important, as long as the LR/Discord is active, then I'm happy.
Are you willing to help build that atmosphere to be a place everyone wants to be? I would be for sure.
Are you okay with coming to an expansion team, understanding that there may be bumps in the road on the way to winning? Definitely, I joined one this year in the SMJHL and we had our fair share of growing pains, so I would know what to expect coming into New Orleans.
Do you need to win right away? Not at all, I'm fine with building up a competitive team over a few seasons.
Team success or personal stats? I'd much prefer team success over personal success, but don't get me wrong, I would also like to see my player be successful.

Give me a bit more as to why i should draft you. I'm fully committed as evidenced by my TPE gaining so far, also unlike my last guy, I promise I will not be going AWOL on this guy.

How important is the locker room atmosphere to you? I would argue this is one of the most important parts of a team. Good dressing room keeps players active and builds a better team.
Are you willing to help build that atmosphere to be a place everyone wants to be? Of course! Like I said good atmosphere is one of the best things to keep a team going strong.
Are you okay with coming to an expansion team, understanding that there may be bumps in the road on the way to winning? No problem with me. My first year in the J was with Anaheim expansion team. While the first year has had it's ups and downs I think it strengthened our team spirit and would love to be part of that again.
Do you need to win right away? No, I can see myself in the J for a little while longer to build my goalie into a strong contender.
Team success or personal stats? Team success. While I don't need to win right away I do like to win.

In my personal life, I helped start my High School's lacrosse program my junior and senior years. I was also a charter member of my fraternity in college. In the words of the Head Coach of my Alma Mater's Hockey team I am willing to "Be the Tradition"
Are you okay with coming to an expansion team, understanding that there may be bumps in the road on the way to winning?
See above/Be the Tradition
Do you need to win right away?
As a goalie, I'm uncertain I would be called up initially regardless. But I can handle periods of hardship
Team success or personal stats?
Por que no los dos? Honestly not sure how as a goalie I could have poor stats while the rest of the team succeeds, besides just in spite of me, which I'd prefer not to be the case.

100% willing. To support myself for that position, in my first season as coGM of the Knights. I did push heavily to draft/make captain a young defenseman by the name of Erik Chisling.

How do you feel about the New Orleans Specters branding?:
I think it's pretty cool, different than standard animal names
How important is the locker room atmosphere to you?
Most important thing 100% . I'm hoping since it's an expansion team it'll be one of the most active like Halifax in the Smjhl. Winning is meaningless if the team is composed of mostly inactive good players and there's no one to talk or celebrate with or just shoot the shit with in discord. Starting is then 2nd most important to me, I can ride backup if I'm worse but once I have the highest tpe out of goalies on the team I'd expect to start since that's where the whole fun of the game comes from being able to lead the team to wins. I would want the team to have enough trust in me come playoffs to bounce back if there is a rough game and ride or die together.
Are you willing to help build that atmosphere to be a place everyone wants to be?
Yea I'm an alternate captain as a rookie and always give advice since I have a lot of past experience in knowledge with builds from my last player Scott Stevens back in the day. I've always been voted Captain both for LA when we won the cup and for Canada with 2 golds. I like taking on leadership roles and keeping things fun.
Are you okay with coming to an expansion team, understanding that there may be bumps in the road on the way to winning?
That's fine, I'd like to have the chance to set some franchise records and leave a legacy like my Scott Stevens trophy this will be another fun journey. As long as I see the same commitment from management to build a team the right way and field a competitive team I'm fine with growing pains.
Do you need to win right away? Nope
Team success or personal stats?
Team success, for example I play for an offensive focused team in juniors now so my regular season individual stats were just average similar to Grant Fuhr score more and save what you can, but long as we win and if that's the best strategy to win I'm all for it.
What's your current favorite song?
Probably changes daily, listening to Fractures by illenium
How long do you want to play in the SMJHL?
However long it takes for me to be good enough to help the team win. I'd rather not be called up to be a backup. I should be at 600 in a couple more seasons and I figure by then I would be decent enough to play. Really up to the GM as long as I'm playing is my preference
Would you be interested in potentially joining the Specters "inner circle" on personnel decisions, including giving thoughts on trades, and scouting for future drafts?
Yes, I already give a lot of my input and try to help in juniors. I was GM of Hamilton for a few seasons and pulled off some great trades and draft picks. I'd leave lines up to you that's my one weakness but I'm always in discord and know how to evaluate player builds could be a good scout.
