• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Yukon Husky. You're an old guy. Now, what's it feel
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: like to be a senior?
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Uh? Yeah, I mean it's crazy.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: I think everything's kind of it's flown by for sure,
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: especially the last couple of years, you know, I mean
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: looking at last year, I think we're just having been
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: having a lot of fun, so been going by quicker,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: you know, with all the winds and the stuff we've
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: had in the last year. So it's it's crazy, but
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: you know, a lot of memories to look back on.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: But you know, I get really excited for this year
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: being my last year. I really like the group we have,
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: and you know, it's it's tough to see go by quick,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: but it's also very exciting to you know, see what's
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: going to happen this year.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: When you lose games, you get it over quickly. Of course,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: you got have maybe four or five days to get
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: over it. But then last March, you guys made a
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: great run and you were that close of a post
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: strike from the Frozen four. How long personally did it
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: take for you to get over that heartbreak?
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it was pretty tough. I think it
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: was just kind of really in the moment, it was
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: super emotional. You know, you're pretty you know, right after that,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: I think it's it's tough to kind of lose and
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: that sort of fashion. I think, you know, being having
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: it being overtime, especially and you know, I think feeling
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: in that game that we kind of had them on
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: the ropes there, and it's tough. It's it's a tough
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: break to you know, give up one and o t.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: But I think it's one of those things that you know,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: our group, we took it as a great experience looking
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: back on it, and I think that we're kind of
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: really wanted to flip the page on it and get
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: back to work like early in the summer and just
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: try to build off it. I think it's one of
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: those things you're, like I said, really emotional in the moment,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: and it's really tough obviously, and it's things right right
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: right after that for you know, a few weeks or whatever.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: But I think like with our group having so many
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: guys come back, I think we're kind of just looking
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: forward to come back this summer, putting in the work
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: and making sure that it wasn't a fluke that we
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: got there, and making sure that we can.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Go even further.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I think just kind of having that mindset
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: and looking forward is a really good way for us
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: to get over it and you know, make sure that
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: we're back in that same sort of position and can
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: go even further than we did.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: You know, I think of obviously the road that you
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Jake Tabor have been through, we get for Ryan Tattle
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: in there too, because it seems like for a good
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: chunk of your group's career, you've all at some point
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: have played together, and for you with Tabor and Jake,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's pretty much been a good consistent line
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: over those for those years. What's it like building a
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: chemistry knowing that you pretty much know where they're going
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: to be.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think it's great. I mean, we
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: we all came in.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Together, We've all you know, kind of had like similar pathways,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: i'd say, like from when we first started here to
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: where we are now, and I think, like, I think
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: just like our development over the four years kind of
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: shows it as well. I know, like me, Tots and
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Purse we played a good amount of the year last
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: year together and you know we were finding some success.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Our team was playing really well.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: And just to be able to you know, have Tabes
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: on our line this year and be with person, you know,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: I've I know, I've played a lot with Tabes my
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: first year or two there, not quite as much last year,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: but you know.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: To be back with him is really good.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: I think I think all three of us, like you know,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: we got we were all great skiers.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: We're all able to disrupt plays.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: You know, maybe we're not necessarily the guys who are
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: gonna you know, make plays or score goals just solely
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: off you know, scale or making high end plays. But
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: I think the way that we're able to disrupt plays
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: for the opposing teams and then kind of create offense
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: off of that, I mean, I think it showed this
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: weekend that we can do that pretty consistently throughout a game,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: and I think we just are going to look to
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: continue to do that and then in the coming weeks here.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: So I mean, it's exciting playing with those guys. It's cool,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: you know, us being all in the same class and stuff.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: So I think just yeah, building off that chemistry and
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: the familiarity with each other is is huge for sure.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Tristan. Of course, one of your neighbors in West Vancouver
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: is Hudson Chander, who is playing in the minors. Now,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: what kind of things did you take from him and
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: his leadership abilities? Because from everybody that I've talked to,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: his leadership was phenomenal As a captain.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, like, I mean, yeah, I've known how
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: to even before coming in here, so like even like
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: seeing him in and junior as we played, like you know,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: our junior team. I think we're only like an hour
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: apart from each other, So I'd play against him a
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: lot in juniors, and then in the summers I train
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: with them basically every day, even this past summer. So
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: I think, like, you know, just seeing him and seeing
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: his approach day to day, I think he's one of
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: those guys that he doesn't get like over emotional. I
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: think he brings like a very He's very intense, but
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: in sort of a way that kind of uplifts is
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: like the guy who's on the team, Like it's not
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: necessarily like going at guys and a negative ways, more
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: intense and like a positive way, and you know, trying
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: to bring that same sort of passionate intensity out of
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: out of all of his teammates that you know he
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: brings on a day to day basis.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: So I think that's like the biggest thing.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: And I think just with this communication skills as well,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: I think he's really he's really good at, you know,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: speaking to the guys, communicating with their coaches and whoever,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: and making sure like everyone's a voice has heard. I
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: think like he's able to relate to each guy on
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: the team really well, and those are something that's something
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: that I've kind of tried to take is just being
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: able to talk to each guy, being able to kind
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: of build a relationship with each guy on the team,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: you know, at some point throughout the year. And I
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: think that just helps really like build a strong team
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: chemistry and develop a culture. So I think that that
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: was the, you know, the biggest thing that I got
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: from him.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: All Right, finally, briefly, you you are Canadian. There is
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: a Canadian team playing in Game seven tonight in baseball.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Are you much of a baseball fan? Are you watching
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the Blue Jays at all?
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: I'm not a huge baseball guy, but I like the
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: playoffs and yeah, I mean the Jays are cannabis team
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: right now, so everyone back home, even on the West
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Coast is all in on them.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: So I've kind of just hopped on the band and
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: I guess there you go.
