If the title wasn't clear, I will be transferring out of Ireland this season. I'd like to thank @Ruggsy for his absolute professionalism in working with me throughout this process, Team Ireland is in great hands (@Faelax is fantastic too!). I wish all the best to all those on the Irish roster; it was a fun run last tournament. And hey, I stole a couple of wins and we made it to the KO round!
In looking for a new nation, I'm really looking for an active locker room, one that enjoys the International side of the SHL as much as I do. It is unfortunate that the IIHF (and WJC) seem to fall to the wayside for many in the community, but I really think it's a unique aspect of the league and I hope it can build to larger heights under the new management.
Other than that, I want to go somewhere I can win! Starting is a bonus, but Brick Wall is still pretty young, so a few seasons as backup won't hurt.
Feel free to ask any questions, and any IIHF heads, please feel free to reach out to me here, in my DMs, or on Discord brickwall35#1241.

What's your favorite thing about the SHL?
Do you want to be a starter immediately?
How do you feel about the IIHF taking up time you could be using to train or relax in the offseason?
Have you considered that Czechia is the Bestia?
I'm looking for an active, committed group who is willing to take things seriously and bring home Gold!
I don't need to start immediately, I'm okay coming in and helping in a more supportive role for awhile. But definitely hope to start someday!
I think staying sharp and game ready is more vital for goalies than offseason training. Plus, the potential gold medal money will help buy more card packs equipment.
I have heard that, I'm curious to learn more.

What are your thoughts about Team Latvia?
I'm open to joining a rebuild, although I'd need to be properly convinced that the rebuild is actually progressing and that is not just going to happen "some day".
Latvia was always one of my favorite countries to play as in the early NHL games. I like rooting for the small nations and underdogs.
