Hello Everyone!
My name is Adam House, and before anything else, I would like thank everyone who has reached out to me to offer support and answer my many questions! It was great to meet everyone who was at the Expansion Draft, and I can't wait to meet the rest of you and play some games!
A little background on myself:
But enough about me, let's get to the interesting bit.
And so, without much further ado, I would like to introduce my team, the Viking Flying Sutters!
Home Arena: The Sutterdome (formerly the Viking Carena Complex) in Viking, Alberta
GM/Coach: Adam House
History:
The idea for bringing a team to Viking all started with a Sunday dinner with the whole family on the Sutter farm, during which multiple bottles of scotch were consumed. It quickly became the consensus that the only way to do hockey right was the Sutter way. After a few calls, and berating the mayor and town council into changing the arena name to the Sutterdome, everything was ready except for personnel.
Due to a typo in the help wanted ad, there was only one applicant for the GM position (some schmuck who dialed the wrong number) and no applicants for the Head Coach position. Darryl quickly reminded everyone that he once held both roles at the same time, so just let that guy do both. And now here we are.
Why name the team the Flying Sutters? According to Duane, "...because it is our team, and when we played, we all just flew over the ice." Brett, however, said "...because it's funny..."
Expansion Draft:
While the Viking Flying Sutters (VFS) did not get the first overall selection, we were proud to announce Jonathan Huberdeau as our first pick in the draft! Other notable picks included Mark Scheifele, Alex Tuch, Mikael Granlund, Jaden Schwartz and Morgan Rielly.
Up Next:
Entry Draft - Who will be the Flying Sutters' first ever draft pick? Seider? Raymond? (definitely neither)
Exhibition Action - Hopefully the Sutterdome will be ready in time for a few exhibition games before the season starts
I can't wait to see most, if not all, of you at the AGM!
Thanks again,
Adam

A little background on myself:
- I am 37, married (Rosalee, almost 4 years), have 1 kid (Maria, 13 months old), live in Renfrew
- I have lived in Calgary all of my life, and I am a 5th generation Albertan
- I am an Accountant with a non-profit organization called carya (that's how it is spelled with no capital, and yes, we hate it too)
- I have been a fan of hockey since I was 4, watching it with my Dad and Grandfather who are/were diehard Flames fans
- I collect hockey cards and other sports memorabilia
- I also play D&D, MTG, board games, softball whenever I can.
- I have known Arron for about 15 years (so I know all about his shenanigans)
But enough about me, let's get to the interesting bit.
