<v Speaker 2>He's the captain, He's the franchise favorite. He's the fan favorite.

0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 2>He's the franchise all time later in goals and games played.

0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:35.640
<v Speaker 2>He's a former Miami Redhawk. He is justin vibe.

0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:36.199
<v Speaker 1>How are you?

0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm good, Lance. I like the intro. I appreciate it.

0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:42.560
<v Speaker 2>It is great to hear your voice. It is great

0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:46.080
<v Speaker 2>to have you back. If if my math calculations are right,

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:49.320
<v Speaker 2>this is like year sixteen and you're eleventh training camp

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 2>with the Cyclones.

0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Does that sound about right?

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 3>That is correct? Yes?

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Let me ask you the obvious question, probably the question

0:00:56.640 --> 0:01:00.200
<v Speaker 2>that bores you because everybody's asking your thirty six What

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 2>keeps you coming back to this sport?

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:07.680
<v Speaker 3>I think the biggest thing is it's you know, one

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:11.399
<v Speaker 3>career path that once you retire and kind of hang

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 3>them up, you can never really go back. So I

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.480
<v Speaker 3>always kind of told myself that as long as my

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:18.920
<v Speaker 3>body and kind of everything was going to allow me to,

0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:20.320
<v Speaker 3>I was just going to play for as long as

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:24.400
<v Speaker 3>I could, because once I finally retire, I can't come back.

0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.120
<v Speaker 2>You've seen it all, You've done it all. Are you

0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.680
<v Speaker 2>comfortable offering inside and advice to the young guys on

0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:31.399
<v Speaker 2>a team like this?

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, of course, I think that's you know, probably one

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 3>of my biggest dowsets and roles on the team is

0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 3>just to kind of help guide these guys along the path.

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 3>A lot of first year pros, a lot of guys

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.120
<v Speaker 3>that first time in this league, So just kind of

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:48.200
<v Speaker 3>being that sounding board and giving advice and kind of

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 3>showing guys the right way to do things.

0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 2>By any chance, do any of your teammates give you

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 2>a hard time? Do they call you grams or old

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:55.000
<v Speaker 2>man or anything.

0:01:56.840 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 3>Occasionally I get the back end of something, I think,

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 3>I think they stay away from it in front of me.

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Yes, You've You've played for a lot of coaches

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 2>over the years. You've got a new one this year

0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 2>in Riley Weslowski. Give me your impressions of him.

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 3>So far awesome. He's he's extremely detailed, very structured. Uh,

0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 3>you know, he's very kind of even keel, and he

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.359
<v Speaker 3>wants us to play the same way, just you know,

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.919
<v Speaker 3>really detailed in what we're going through. But at the

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.200
<v Speaker 3>same time, he's going to give guys the uh the

0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 3>ability and kind of the least, so to speak, to

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.799
<v Speaker 3>make their plays and kind of show their skills.

0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:33.640
<v Speaker 2>I uh, I don't take this as I'm rushing you

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 2>to retire, but have you ever as much as you've

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:37.880
<v Speaker 2>seen and done, have you ever thought of coaching when

0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 2>you eventually are done.

0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:44.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's definitely definitely crossed my mind. I think anybody

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 3>in any career, I guess for that matter, even outside

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.360
<v Speaker 3>of sports, if you do something for your kind of

0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 3>whole adult life, you know, when once it's finally done

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:55.680
<v Speaker 3>or passed by, you know, you want to stay involved

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.079
<v Speaker 3>with whatever way you can. And uh, I think I

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.200
<v Speaker 3>definitely would like to give it a shot and kind

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 3>of see how I like it.

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, the city, you know, the fan base, What

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 1>does this city?

0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:08.639
<v Speaker 2>What does the Cyclones fan base mean to you?

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:12.640
<v Speaker 3>Oh, they're they're amazing. And they're honestly in that first answer,

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:14.639
<v Speaker 3>it probably part of the reason why I do keep

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 3>coming back. You know, the crowd is just keep getting

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.839
<v Speaker 3>better and better and louder, and uh, you know, that's

0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 3>just so special coming back every year here and I

0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.520
<v Speaker 3>haven't seen the same faces, and just you know, we

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:27.760
<v Speaker 3>have such a great support system through the city and

0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:30.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm just to keep it, keep it going.

0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:33.800
<v Speaker 2>I believe congratulations or an order. I was watching an

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.400
<v Speaker 2>interview you did with your play by play voice to

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 2>find play by play voice Rudy Hodgson. You mentioned a

0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 2>new addition to the family. Our congratulations order for a

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 2>new a new baby by chance.

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 3>Yes, a new baby girl now I've heard is about

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 3>four months old.

0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Now I'm told from high level, behind the scenes sources

0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 2>there might be a story behind that name.

0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Can you tell me the story?

0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, there is two to the story, but one was, yeah,

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 3>I did play in the city Hartford, so yes, there

0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 3>is a connection there. But also my wife actually brought

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:15.280
<v Speaker 3>it up first. Oh, and she saw it somewhere and

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.760
<v Speaker 3>when she said it, that was initially exactly what I

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:19.920
<v Speaker 3>thought that I was like, Oh, I played there first years.

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:23.680
<v Speaker 3>I actually really liked it and so yeah, after that,

0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:25.560
<v Speaker 3>we kind of looked at each other and we were like,

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 3>that's that's what we're going with.

0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:28.360
<v Speaker 1>That is awesome.

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, my son is Casey and I named after

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:35.159
<v Speaker 2>the former Red Sean Casey, and my wife went along

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:37.280
<v Speaker 2>with it. I love the fact your wife was out

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 2>in front on.

0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 3>This, you believe it or not yet she brought up

0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 3>the name first, and then it just kind of worked perfectly.

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 2>It hasn't been Hartford has a much better ring than

0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:50.760
<v Speaker 2>like bill Ville or Greenville or Fort Wayne, doesn't it.

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 3>That does for sure.

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.159
<v Speaker 2>I also have been told by high level sources as

0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.080

0:04:58.160 --> 0:04:59.320
<v Speaker 2>just completed a cruise.

0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:00.000
