Huge thanks to Artermis who answered my questions.

Q1: 1. If you could hang out with any SHL player for a day who would it be and why?

A: I'd like to spend a day with Chris McZherl. Yeah, I know, he's not well-liked necessarily, but he's legendary, so I'd love to just spend a day on the ice with and pick apart his brain, and perhaps get a little coaching in there too to become a high-point scorer like him.

Q2: 2. What would you say has been the most interesting thing about being with the Firebirds?

A: Being at the heart of rivaly-central BC is very cool and entertaining and makes the season that much more fun and exicting . . . and sometimes painful. Not to mention a lot of history I'm taking part in; it's time to end the championship drought!

Q3: 3. If you could go on vacation anywhere in the world where would it be?

A: Back home to Czechoslovakia: I barely spend enough time there as it is, save holidays and IIHF training camp. I wish I saw my family, especially my father, more. Not to mention the beer and women are much better than here in North America!
