ACapitalChicago · 07-29-2019, 11:30 PM

1. Have you been in any Sim Leagues before? If yes, what kind & how long? (Every sport matters)
None

2. What is more important to you, winning championships or building a close-knit locker room?
I'm here to win, but that doesn't mean I'm going to be picking fights or trying to cause problems with people. I want to win and I'm going to do everything I can to get there, but I'm going to do it with a team and not just by myself.

3. What sort of player are you aiming to build? (NHL comparable)
I'm looking to build a sniping goal scorer, someone who's in the right place at the right time to get pucks past the goalie. Think if Hagelin converted on more breakaways

4. How long do you want to stay in the SMJHL before going up to the SHL? (2-4 seasons is normal)
I'm estimating between 1-3 seasons, to develop myself as much as possible with experienced SMJHL teams.

5. How much of a focus do you have on doing media and/or graphics?
I plan on churning out content on a weekly basis at least, to promote further growth and development for my skater. Currently I plan on supplementing my growth with written media, but am also looking into podcasts and jobs to further expand that.

6. What do you think you can bring to the locker-room/team?
I'm always willing to understand people and work with them so we can all succeed.

7. Post your favorite hockey-related photo!
Would definitely be The Save

8. What are your hobbies/interests outside of hockey? (gaming, other sports, music, etc.).
I like reading and listening to music, as well as gaming with League, Darkest Dungeon, or Civ V. Beyond that I also play Underwater Hockey during my free time.

9. Are you actually interested in playing for the Kelowna Knights?
I have some interest, but I'm not entirely sold. The team looks like it has clear organizational goals, but I do want to help them convert to more championships for the team.

10. Anything else you would like us to know?
Honestly, I dig the alts a bit more than the original jerseys.

1. Have you been in any Sim Leagues before? If yes, what kind & how long? (Every sport matters)
No, but I'm excited for some experience!

2. What is more important to you, winning championships or building a close-knit locker room?
My primary focus is winning championships, but I don't think it's possible to have one without the other. A team that can't get along off the ice, won't be able to survive through a long post-season.

3. What sort of player are you aiming to build? (NHL comparable)
A goalie with a strong grasp of the fundamentals. The best goalies never need to make a flashy save. In terms of comparable, somewhere between Brodeur and Craig Anderson.

4. How long do you want to stay in the SMJHL before going up to the SHL? (2-4 seasons is normal)
I don't want to make the jump to the SHL until I can be sure I will dominate. I expect to spend the longest allowed time in juniors (it's 5 seasons right?)

5. How much of a focus do you have on doing media and/or graphics?
I'm not much of a graphic artist but I'll write articles to provide insight into the team dynamic.

6. What do you think you can bring to the locker-room/team?
I have a quick wit and I'm a quick study. I'm in school so I can be around for most of my waking hours.

7. Post your favorite hockey-related photo!

Anderson comes back from taking a leave of absence to be with his sick wife. The night he comes back, he shuts out the Oilers. This photo reminds me of one of my favourite NHL moments.

8. What are your hobbies/interests outside of hockey? (gaming, other sports, music, etc.).
I'm a long time DM for a group of dedicated tabletop gamers. Also, I play trombone pretty seriously.

9. Are you actually interested in playing for the Kelowna Knights?
Yes! I don't have a lot of knowledge about the league, the teams, or any history so I can't back my claim up with any stories or facts, but I can say that I will give 110% for whichever team I ultimately end up on. Let's build a contender!

10. Anything else you would like us to know?
Nope!

Naosu · 07-30-2019, 12:22 AM

1. Have you been in any Sim Leagues before? If yes, what kind & how long? (Every sport matters)

2. What is more important to you, winning championships or building a close-knit locker room?
A close locker room you want to win with

3. What sort of player are you aiming to build? (NHL comparable)
O'Reilly, Crosby, Bergeron. A center that plays a complete game and is a better passer than scorer.

4. How long do you want to stay in the SMJHL before going up to the SHL? (2-4 seasons is normal)
About 3 seasons

5. How much of a focus do you have on doing media and/or graphics?
I will do what I must to support my need for equipment. I don't think I'm great at either but will attempt both.

6. What do you think you can bring to the locker-room/team?
I'm more of a solid rock/supporting cast to a good scorer

7. Post your favorite hockey-related photo!

8. What are your hobbies/interests outside of hockey? (gaming, other sports, music, etc.).
Gaming, Softball, Fantasy Hockey, I sort of follow most major sports during playoffs

9. Are you actually interested in playing for the Kelowna Knights?
Yes. I'm wanting to play for any team that has a spot for an up and coming center.

10. Anything else you would like us to know?
I'll do my best to pick up all available TPE and money when I can. I just joined today and am pretty busy for a couple days with working. I hope to be built up a little more by the draft, or the week after.

Kingslayerlh · 07-30-2019, 02:52 AM

2. What is more important to you, winning championships or building a close-knit locker room?

porqué no los dos? I want to win enough championships that the team would be a dynasty but i dont want to do it with a team of people that doesnt click together.

3. What sort of player are you aiming to build? (NHL comparable)

I am looking for someone like a mix of kris letang and brent burns. A defenseman who is elite on both sides of the ice. Although im looking more to be a shooter/ play maker rather than a big hitter or fighter.

4. How long do you want to stay in the SMJHL before going up to the SHL? (2-4 seasons is normal)

As long as it takes until im ready for the shl. Id prefer that to take 2 seasons but if i need longer to fully develop before tearing it up in the smjhl then ill stay as long as needed.

5. How much of a focus do you have on doing media and/or graphics?

Graphics not so much but media is half the fun of a sim.

6. What do you think you can bring to the locker-room/team?

A leader who can be a mentor for any players to come. Along with a consistently top defenseman in the league, someone who can be friends with everyone in the lockers but will do everything to win

A sure footed LW who isn't afraid to drive to the net to score. Starting off as a shoot first pass second player who develops into a little more awareness and passing knowledge to round out my skills.

About 3 seasons.

Tried to find a picture of the Lightning getting swept this season where they were all so defeated after game 4. It was a good reminder that all teams are mortal.
