Now put your hands on the SHL rulebook. Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Say I do!
Answer : I do!

Please tell us your real first name and where do you live right now?
Robert Answer : Robert (WINTERPEG), Winnipeg, Manitoba
SL : Is it true or just a myth? I heard that it could also be Summerpeg?
Robert Answer : Last summer we hardly had any rain and hot temps summer here is 2 to 3 months long.

When and how did you first find out about the SHL?
Robert Answer: Chris (Commish) was in my league and I asked to join his and been there since the beginning of Season 1.
SL : Oh! An SHL grandfather! Better stay polite!

Here Ron question : I wanna know if Rob regrets trading me Lucas Raymond and Askarov in lieu of how his season has been so far..
Robert Answer: I never regret any trade I do. I enjoy trades and made some good ones and some bad ones. My objective is to make the playoffs and hope for upsets. Hoping my defence holds up.
SL : But that Raymond kid is pretty good! I though It would take him a little longer to learn the ropes but good for him!

You have traded all your early picks this year and next year. Just don’t like drafting or trying to get success faster?
Robert Answer : Trying to win now and i find prospects can be a lot of miss over hits. How many 2nd or 3rd overall pics have become duds?
SL : Like Alexander Daigle said : Nobody remembers who is drafted 2nd. :)

Whats up with Cheez Wiz and Blake Kraken?
Robert Answer: No idea? Cheez you eat, Blake you don’t?
SL: Could be! You think nobody took a bite out of Blake yet? I heard that these Maritimes girls, they are feisty!

Who is your favorite NHL team?
Robert Answer: Winnipeg Jets 1.0 / Arizona Coyotes/Winnipeg Jets 2.0
SL : Nice! Should have kept the old jersey design imo….That fake Air Force One Canada (CF18) look logo…not sold!
Robert Answer: Agree should have 1.0 logo still.

Who is your favorite player of all time?
Robert Answer: Dale Hawerchuk.
SL : Another underrated superstar! Great name for a hockey player! Forever link to Thomas Steen in my mind! Great time with the Sabres too. Fun fact : There is a French rock and roll band here called the Dales Hawerchuk.

Who is the person you would like to meet (dead or alive)? Feel free to explain!
Robert Answer: My Grandfather Frank Rutkowski. Why? He passed away a month before I was born in 1965 and his history of being in the 2nd world war and a Nazi prisoner and watching his brothers be killed in the prison camps.
SL : For sure! Fascinating! Others in the family were able to tell you about him a little?
Robert Answer : Yes my Uncle Ted did up a family tree and history of our family. I believe my cousin has it still. So when growing up my uncle told me some of the ugly history.
SL : Then we think our lives is difficult!

Question : If you could catch a GM asleep and steal one of his players, who would that be? Not that you really need anything right now!
Robert Answer: whoever has the best rated goalie.
SL : Maybe Steve Nashville could help you scout one.
Robert Answer: He is mad at me :(
SL : I’m sure you will find a solution!

You get first overall to start a league, which player would you choose? And why?
Robert Answer: I would take Leon Draisaitl just because he is top 3 goal scorer.
SL : Nice to see other names than McDavid and Matthews.

What’s the best way to approach you about a trade request?
Robert Answer: email/messenger/if you have my number text ?

What annoys you when a GM approaches you ?
Robert Answer: nothing really, I enjoy chat and trade talks.

I know the SHL rulebook is a near perfect work but if they was one rule that you would change or add, what would it be?
Robert Answer: Chris runs an awesome league and once I figured out what UFA Frenzy bids worked all is good.
SL : 100%

If there was no stupid virus around, and you have an unlimited amount of cash, where would be the first destination you travel into? Could be space!
Robert Answer: Jamaica warm and no F”/$%*& SNOW!!!!!
SL : Almost done Robert ! Maybe one more month and that’s it! Don’t you have a groundhog that could foresee the future in the Prairies ?
Robert Answer: He SAID 6 WEEKS ! The snow in my back yard might be here till middle of June. it is 9 feet high and we have more coming tomorrow anywhere from 5 to 15 cm.
SL: Oh boy!

What gets you these days! Sports event, TV Series, your cat, anything?
Robert Answer: I have 4 cats and 1 dog who is the size of my cats :
Tiggy female 11 years old orange tabby, laid back and looks like my stoner cat!
Snookie female 5 years old grey, white and black. Yogi and Boo Boo twin boys 21 months old and grey black tabbys and into everything the can get into. This morning I walked into back room only to find that they both emptied the kleenex box and playing with the Kleenex.
And Molly a 4 year old Yorkie 12lbs. They keep me busy.
SL : For sure! Did they come outside to help you shoveling the snow?
Robert Answer : Molly does but it is cold and she is only last long enough to do her business! Cats are all indoor and seem good with it.
SL : They keep the house warm for you!
