Uno... Dos...

Trick Johnson took the podium and decided to open it up to some questions
As he stared intently with great intensity into the crowd of reporters

“Hey Trick, congratulations on the title, it's been a long time, were you expecting this?”

Trick answered, “Its been a long time coming.  It was obviously a full team effort. We had been so close one season and we just had our kryptonite Reyk get into our heads and we lost our shot. That was on our minds as the season was going into the last three games”

“You guys relegated the next season didn’t you, how did you guys overcome that?”

“Yes we did relegate right after that heart breaking loss to Reyk where we fumbled the cup.  Then the next season we were relegated.  Which was a whole new depth of low.  Honestly you would think that would break a group but we weren't broken.  Our squad still had hope, still knew we could climb back out and we did.  Other squads may have broken apart there and splintered, but we didnt let it get us down.  It only gave us more strength I think, mentally we had more strength not without its fair share of pessimism.  The pessimism was more a murmur of humour and mental defense.  I dont think the locker room really lost a step though.”

“Would you have changed that if you could and have won that one going back to Reyk?”

“I may, if I had time magic.  However the story was richer for sure we went from highs to such lows back to highs again.  We climbed tooth and nail out of division two and then back to back grabbed championships.  We had Division Two then Division One.  I joked about how we need a third division now just so we can go unto those depths and come out victorious again.”


Trick announced he would now perform his greatest trick he counted down
“Uno” with a flourish “Dos” with another flourish
