The time has come for the last guy in our Ten Days of Raccoons series, and that is the team’s substitute defenseman @vonBobban. The man of the myth with no previous statistics nor experience from ECL is certainly the team’s true wild card. Although Bobban isn’t the team’s front page player due to his lower role, he’s a highly considered and appreciated player with the team and its management. Bobban puts in hard work to be always ready if it’s his turn to play no matter if it happened to be the late-night practices or hard-fought games. The easy going Bobban is the team’s true workhorse who plays with a great consistency. Bobban’s strengths are his on-ice vision, puck playing skills and his unexpected but spectacular ability to put up points.
As a player, what do you want to bring to Raccoon Rampage?
I want to bring good mood and of course as a substitute’s substitute I need to give all the support the team needs.
How long have you been playing EASHL for, and do you have any previous experience from ECL?
I’ve been playing EASHL more or less since 2016. My peak year was in NHL 18 where we tried to make a team with some good ECL Pro level players in it. We practiced a lot, but everyone wasn’t involved enough to make the team work, and it fell apart. Haven't had the chance to play ECL but maybe in the future.
What do you think are the team’s expectations for ECL in the future?
We want to be able to win and be tough against everyone.
What areas of your game would you like to develop in the future?
I think I could increase my confidence by getting more ice time.
What do you think are the key factors that should lead Raccoon Rampage to the success?
Good atmosphere in the locker room is always very important.
Who do you view as the rival team of Raccoon Rampage?
The whole ECL is so new scene to me that I can’t really answer that.
And finally, why are you so hurried when the puck touches your blade?
It isn’t about hustling. It’s because I must come so quickly to the locker room that I don’t have enough time to tape my stick blades.
As the Raccoons continue to play their tough and tight games in ECL, the success of this young and promising team should only raise in the matter. It was fun time creating the Ten Days of Raccoons series, and we hope with these you now know at least a little bit more about the team and its players. That’s it for this time, thanks for taking your time reading these short story interviews, hope you liked them, and until the next time…
