Fun fact about yourself/something you’d want teams and draft announcers to know or be able to share on stream: I've been in sim leagues on and off since 2010.

How many hours a week do you usually have free? (ie. 1, 3, 6+, etc.) Kinda hard to quantify that tbh, since I'm a grad student so my time isn't exactly structured like that. Maybe like 10? I dunno.
What is the most optimal way of cooking a hotdog? Gotta be grilling. Boiling is fine enough though.
What made you join the SHL? Back in the day, I saw a post on a forum for hockey jersey design from former league commissioner/Manhattan GM Spangle promoting the league. Decided to give it a try and ended up sticking around.
If you could travel back to any point in time, what would it be and why? I think it depends on how long I'm going to be there. Like, if I have to live there I'll just pick like, the 80s or 90s. But if I'm just going back for a short time as an observer I'd love to see a lot of ancient history like Rome, Egypt, China, etc. I'd love to see what actually happened and hasn't been recorded.
If you had to give a 30 minute lecture from memory what topic would you choose? I feel like there are a few. Maybe something related to soccer, like tactics/formations. Or Old Republic-era Star Wars lore, although my memory might trip me up on specifics there.
What color would your lightsaber be and why? As a kid I always wanted a green one.
What kind of play style are you hoping to have for your player? Somewhere between an offensive and two-way defenseman. I think I'm leaning towards a powerplay quarterback type.
In honor of your team’s Pride Night, you’re being asked to wear a pride-themed warmup jersey to be auctioned off for the benefit of a local LGBTQ+ youth charity. How do you respond? Of course I wear the jersey. Maybe autograph it too so they can get more money for it (assuming that actually adds value lol).
Any hobbies you’ve been into lately? Been doing a lot of reading as of late. Starting reading more often a few years ago and I've tried to pick up some new books from the library every month or two since then.
What is your opinion on The French? They seem cool.
What is the best book you have read and why? Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut is the first one that comes to mind.
A young fish asked an old salmon, "How do you navigate the currents so well?" The salmon chuckled, "It’s just like hockey—know when to push and when to flow." What strategies do you use to navigate challenges on and off the ice? Take a breath, slow down, don't get too worried about the future.
If you could experience one thing in your life again for the first time, what would it be? I'm a pretty big Radiohead fan so I'd love to hear their music again for the first time.
Pineapple on Pizza? Not personally a fan but not against it. I'm sure it can be alright if it's on the right pizza.
What is your Mount Rushmore of hockey? I'll be honest I don't think I pay enough attention to hockey to give this a qualified answer.
If you were to choose a breed of dog you would most likely be, what would it be and why? I have absolutely no idea.
