SMJHL HO Questions
Player Name: Matthew Murdock

Position: RW

First-Gens: I was looking for more hockey simulation games like HLM and FHM and found this league

Full Discord Username: pixelnick13

Fun fact about yourself/something you’d want teams and draft announcers to know or be able to share on stream: At the age of 13 I ate 4 Costco hotdogs during lunch at school and it is my proudest accomplishment.

SMJHL GM Questions

How many hours a week do you usually have free? (ie. 1, 3, 6+, etc.)
I usually have 30ish hours free per week. I work part time and do part time school.

What is the most optimal way of cooking a hotdog?
I put them in the boiling pot at full until the water starts boiling, and then I leave them for 5-7 minutes boiling on about 3 or 4 level of heat, then done.

What made you join the SHL?
I stumbled across the site and found it very appealing, and once I saw how organized and well thought out it was I just had to join.

If you could travel back to any point in time, what would it be and why?
I would choose to travel back in time to my childhood because I had this Batmobile toy and I lost it at some point and it’s bugged me ever since, so I would go back just to know what happened to it.

If you had to give a 30 minute lecture from memory what topic would you choose?
Probably about the drama between Marvel Television and the MCU producers about the Netflix shows. There was a bunch of dumb corporate stuff that ended up killing the shows and I will never forget it.

What color would your lightsaber be and why?
I would pick a white lightsaber because I think any Jedi or Sith colors wouldn’t feel right. I mean the Jedi as a group suck and the Sith are all evil, so I think it’s a good alternative. Also it looks incredible in my opinion.

What kind of play style are you hoping to have for your player?
I’m hoping to be more of a counterattacking forward. Someone who is very defensively responsible but also no slouch in the offensive zone. A lot of teams could use some tough reliable two-way play, and I am hoping I can deliver.

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?
All good with me, hopefully the money from the auction helps.

Any hobbies you’ve been into lately?
I’ve been thinking of coding a program to try and accurately predict the results of NHL games. Obviously much smarter people than me have tried but thinking of all the variables and process seems fun, so it’ll be enjoyable either way.

What is your opinion on The French?
I think mimes are funny and I liked playing French word games in school, and that’s about it.

What is the best book you have read and why? (Comics included)
Jonathan Hickmans Secret Wars comic was the perfect ending to the years of story he had been building up across the Marvel Universe.

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?
I usually just try and let the bad things roll off my back because staying angry or stressed out just isn’t very good. Enjoying the good things is always important and I try not to let them go for granted.

If you could experience one thing in your life again for the first time, what would it be? (Book, movie, song, concert, etc.)
If I could watch The Dark Knight for the first time again I would in a heartbeat. It’s my favorite movie of all time and I think being in my 20s would make me enjoy it even more than the first time I saw it when I was a kid.

Pineapple on Pizza?
No. I will not elaborate.

What is your Mount Rushmore of hockey?
Crosby, Lemieux, Sundin, Brodeur

Crosby: He’s been dominating since I learned what hockey was and I’ve never seen a bad word said about him

Lemieux: The way he saved the Penguins as a franchise is inspiring, and he’s the greatest goal scorer to ever play

Sundin: Leaf fan bias, but just looking at his career and how he really cared about this team, it’s criminal that he never won a cup with them

Brodeur: Greatest goalie of all time. I think that’s all that needs to be said

If you were to choose a breed of dog you would most likely be, what would it be and why?
Dachshund because they are long and that would be very funny to me

Fun fact about yourself/something you’d want teams and draft announcers to know or be able to share on stream: Bob is genderqueer and the great-grandchild of former Turd Ferguson winner Dakota Reid. But the fun fact about me is that I got a screenwriting degree and I teach English in Korea now.

How many hours a week do you usually have free? (ie. 1, 3, 6+, etc.)
Honestly depends on my mental health on any given day. But like, I guess I'd offer a negotiable 4 that I'd devote to ALL sim leagues?

What is the most optimal way of cooking a hotdog?
Grilling. Or eating the skin that forms after you boil hot dogs and let it sit for a while.

What made you join the SHL?
I'm like a ghost. I've got unfinished business and a new story to tell.

If you could travel back to any point in time, what would it be and why?
I wanna be the age I am now, but in the mid to late 80s. It was quite possibly the last point in history that I think it was genuinely fun to be alive. And if I could experience it without the dread that many felt at the time over potential nuclear war, I think it'd be pretty fun. Good music, good architecture, there was some cultural social progression happening just before economic systems started their slow death march to collapse.

If you had to give a 30 minute lecture from memory what topic would you choose?
I actually had to do this before, I can give a solid lecture on the Story Circle pretty damn easily.

What color would your lightsaber be and why?
I know what lightsaber colors mean, so I'd like to say that I'm a purple, someone who uses aspects of the dark side to help the light. But like, that's the most "edgy OC" type shit. So gimmie orange. I can be a sentinel and it's the lesbian color so that's cool.

What kind of play style are you hoping to have for your player?
Bob's gonna be just like their great grandma. So, lots of hits, plenty of fights, and maybe some goals too.

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?
Do I still get to keep one for myself, too?

Any hobbies you’ve been into lately?
I've never actually played hockey before. Some girl invited me out to play/learn how to skate soon, so I'm hoping that'll be it. Otherwise, I've been doing a lot of drinking, so I guess there's that.

What is your opinion on The French?
[Image: tumblr_pxvtn5MEmh1rx1y5co6_400.gif]

What is the best book you have read and why? (Comics included)
So, I want you to open your mind to this, cause when you look up the translation of the name of this manga, you will be immediately put off. But it's called "Chikan Otoko" and it's based on a real life story from some dude on the Japanese side of 4chan. He was profiled as a potential molester by some woman walking home in the same direction, but after getting to the police station, she apologizes and offers to make it up to him. Which then sends this absolute NEET's life into a completely different direction. Like I said, it's based on a real 2chan thread where this guy was just updating about his life. And the way the mangaka takes his story and portrays it just feels so raw and beautiful. I love it and have been trying to find a way to adapt it into a better script than whatever the fuck they actually made from it (live action).

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?
I could follow Ernest Borgnine's advice for a long life, but my strategy is just dealing with it. Truly. I don't think you understand that I've just arrived in a foreign country with a completely different writing system for a language I both do not know and do not have any basis of understanding for, all while starting my first real job and living on my own for the first time. The sheer amount of times that I've been inconvenienced, sighed, and just whispered to myself "Mamba Mentality" over the past couple months is incredible. Ya just deal with it, cause what else are you gonna do? You're here now, might as well win.

If you could experience one thing in your life again for the first time, what would it be? (Book, movie, song, concert, etc.)
I've definitely become more and more jaded as I consume more and more media. And I do wonder if my love for certain things came from it being the first thing I watched or if it's genuinely something that fit everything I wanted. So I guess I'd go back to the first anime I watched, Bunny Girl Senpai. Remove that from my memory and keep everything else that I loved about anime since then. Would I still love it as much as I do?

Pineapple on Pizza?
Look, pizza was created as a way to get rid of leftovers. So there's really nothing that "belongs" on a pizza or "shouldn't be there". Personally, I don't like pineapple in general, so I wouldn't have it on pizza. But people who are outraged about this one way or another really need to find better ways to form community with others.
But also, I'd raise you that sweet corn shouldn't be on pizza. It's everywhere in Korea, wtf? You know how hard it is to just get a plain cheese pizza?

What is your Mount Rushmore of hockey?
Unfortunately, I'm not a huge hockey fan. And also a lot of the "greats" aren't exactly people I support as people (I've got a Kane sweater, but I got it right before the real allegations came out and it's literally my only hockey sweater). So my favorites are:
-Gordie Howe (Look at my player. Obvious reasons)
-Mario Lemieux (beat cancer, saved his team himself by using weird debt loopholes, then came back and played as an owner and actually did well unlike other owners who decided to come out of retirement)
-Marc-Andre Fleury (Good lad)
-Dustin Byfuglien (was my favorite player on the 2010 Hawks)

If you were to choose a breed of dog you would most likely be, what would it be and why?
I'm a raccoon in the garage.

If you had to give a 30 minute lecture from memory what topic would you choose? I recently had to explain the American football landscape and the best players to my GF so that.

What color would your lightsaber be and why? Black, my favorite color is black and it's a cooler color than the rest of the options.

What kind of play style are you hoping to have for your player? Someone who scores a lot of goals and is a complete offensive threat.

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? Throw that baby on and get on the ice. It's something different than my usual warm up attire so I dig it.

Any hobbies you’ve been into lately? Video games, going to the gym or on walks, and watching White Lotus

What is your opinion on The French? I love the French and their culture. Haven't met a single rude French person yet. I've been to Paris and love French cuisine.

What is the best book you have read and why? (Comics included) I don't read much nowadays but the Percy Jackson books when I was a kid were amazing.

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? Leave hockey stuff on the rink and in the facility. No point worrying about hockey challenges at home as I prefer to relax to ease the stress. It's all about balance in your life.

If you could experience one thing in your life again for the first time, what would it be? (Book, movie, song, concert, etc.) High school, sounds lame but I loved high school and how freeing it was especially compared to work life.

Pineapple on Pizza? On Hawaiian pizza only.

What is your Mount Rushmore of hockey? Not too familiar with hockey but I'll go with Gretzky, Howe, Orr, Lumieux, Ovechkin
If you were to choose a breed of dog you would most likely be, what would it be and why? German Shepard. They're loyal, protective but still fun and joyful.

#72

My name in Theo Dahl and I am a prospective goalkeeper. 
This is a first-gen player and I found out about the site from another friend here. 
My full discord is Statistic and the underscore is _dwiz. 
Something I'd like people to know about me is I love to jam in TCGS in my free time when I'm not practicing in net. 
I have a good amount of free time - 3 days off and a few hours each morning. 
Personally I like to just microwave hot dogs, not a cook. 
I joined because as my friend was describing it, it sounded very fun to do, and being in the locker of my team has already proved that to me.
 If I could go back in time, I'd go meet a few people, smart people, I'd like to just talk about their time and not interfere, I want to learn and enjoy how far ahead they truly were for their time.
 Giving a lecture from memory isn't my thing, but I'd just talk about Ohm's law and electricity, it is my favorite thing to work on in industry and I could talk about it forever.
 I'd have a red lightsaber, I like the color, but I wouldn't be a true Sith, just following my own path, it may become white at some point on my journey. 
I am hoping to be a solid tender, all around balanced when I can, now isn't the time, but one day. 
I'd have no issue being an ally to the LGBTQ+ community, I think they are great people and deserve to be treated with utmost respect just as anyone else. 
Personal hobbies include making music and playing games, be it baldur's gate 3 or board/card games. 
The French simply exist, although poking fun may be funny, I still don't dislike the French. 
The best book I have read would have been a while ago, but the Ranger's apprentice series was one I enjoyed.
 Navigating tough times can be hard, but just keeping your head up and continuing doing what you do best will yield the best results. 
If I could reexperience Knotfest Iowa 2024, I would.
Never had pineapple on pizza, but I'm not opposed to trying it once or twice before I truly make up my mind. 
I do love hockey, but I don't watch it as much as I'd like as I'm not a huge TV/Streaming service watcher so I can't truly answer who would be on my MT.Rushmore of hockey. 
I'd be some small breed of dog, small but feisty.

This is NOT for people who are to be/got drafted into the SHL (S82 players).


If you want to be drafted high in the SMJHL entry draft, you've got to make sure you're on teams' radars. Fill out the following questionnaire compiled by Head Office and the General Managers to earn some easy TPE and show everyone more of who you are and what teams get if they draft you!

For anyone doing this after the draft, this is an opportunity to introduce yourself to SHL scouts and other members of the site, while earning TPE and money on the side.

You will receive 0.5 TPE for each question you answer up to a maximum of 6 TPE. (12 questions)
For each question you answer after the first 12, you will receive $100k per question answered, with a bonus of $100k for answering every question.

The total for answering all questions will come out to 6 TPE and $1M!!!
