British Isles WJC team on the ice together for the first time
#1

With the upcoming season of the World Junior Championships, a pinnacle in international young talent, teams across the globe are beginning to practice and skate together for the first time. We sent some reporters to the closed off Planet Ice Milton Keynes to see if they could get any ideas on the roster going into the tournament. This is what they came up with:

Forwards
Xena - @Nickleback_lover69
Carlo Russo - @Beaty
Rainbow Dash - @Eggy216
Yoshimitsu McCloud - @Thunfish
Donnie Dicks - @Gooney
Mika Mayfield - @BadWolf
Jimmy Slothface - @slothfacekilla
Nick Brain - @StadiumGambler
Jordan Joestar - @Honorary_Weeb
Griffith Cadwalader - @Ferdy 

And also a huge welcome to Irish SMJHL prospect Austin Roenick (@XLeafer) and British SMJHL prospect Jaguar Johnson (@Shadowz1797) to the British Isles team. This stage will be perfect for them to prove themselves to SMJHL teams going into the season 46 entry draft. 

Defenders
Johnny Sins - @LonnyBohonos16
Olin O'Dowd - @Sour_Chin_Music
Jimmy Cahill - @JLysohirka
Dominic Montgomery - @bilbo
Perry Morgan - @"Flareon4043"
Guy Zheng - @goldenglutes

Goaltenders
Cedric Robinson - @grok
Willis Vincent - @RainDelay

The British Isles squad this year is looking extremely promising, with 4 very solid lines featuring some top SMJHL players, and 3 defence pairings featuring some of the top SHL prospects who are rumoured to be taken in round one of the draft. Don't forget the stars of the show, the goaltenders. Robinson will once again take the starting goalie position, with Vincent taking the role of back-up. 

We reached out to some of the players to get their thoughts on being selected for such a prestigious event. 

"Oh snap I made it... It’s an honor to be chosen for my first international roster I hope I won’t let the front office or country down!" -Jimmy Slothface

It's worth noting that Slothface specifically said honour without the "u." Our reporters were quick to correct him, mostly with the fear of his citizenship being revoked on the line. 

"I'm so excited to play my second tourney with the British isles team for WJC. Lets go get that gold!" - Mika Mayfield 

"Yeah our GMs say it's all about having fun but that's not why I'm here. I'm in it to win it, and I've been told that if we win gold I get to be bilbo's friend, so there's a lot on the line." - Guy Zheng

The commissioner of the tournament also came around the rink spouting a load of bollocks about USA getting another medal and beating the Brits or something. Everyone assumed he had something going on mentally and left him to it. 

We also reached out to the GM's chosen for this year to hear their thoughts on the team this year.

"We have a talented bunch playing Hockey in the UK now, the better our guys do the more kids will want to get into the sport. It's a positive feedback loop. We had the squad last year for a strong medal finish but we couldn't capitalise. I think this year we can go all the way to a gold." - Ed Balls (GM)

"We have two S47 rookies joining our team this year, and I hope we can make a good impression on them and give them some exciting first games in the league. I hope we all have fun out there because that's what matters at the end of the day. Also we're winning gold even if Slash tries to rig the sim for the US". - George Zhang (co-GM)

Also yes, Ed Balls is in the hockey management game now.

I see now that you asked for quotes and I wasn't there for you in your time of need. Rollercoaster of a night.
