INTERVIEW WITH CHRIS JUNG

After 2 goals in his first game of camp Chris Jung was ready for more.
RH: You were the only ’88 out on the ice in that game. Do you feel like an old guy out there?
CJ: Was I? Wow... really? Yeah I guess when you put it like that I feel kind of old. Yeah definitely. That’s kind of a good thing I guess. Come out and be a leader this year.
RH: Is that the plan to this year? With last year being your first in the AJHL are you going to try and take on more of a leadership role this season?
CJ: Yeah with last year being my first year here I was really trying to get used to a new place, a new town and a new league and now that I have the feel for it I want to get out there and be a leader on the team.
RH: A couple goals out there. How do you feel?
CJ: Good. Yeah I feel great. A lot of work this summer and then took a little break and now I’m ready to get back out there.
RH: A lot of goals right at the start of last year and then the offence kind of dried up a little bit for you and you turned into more of an energy guy. What do you take from last year that you want to change heading into year number two?
CJ: I definitely want to pick up my scoring. I was kind of in a slump there. I don’t mind the energy role but if I could sort of combine the two that would be great. Get a couple more points here and there and still be able to get out there and bang ‘bods’ and make an impact on the game would be great.
RH: Having a summer to look back on last year do you have some thoughts on why you went into that slump and how you can avoid that this year?
CJ: I’ve just got to know how to get mentally there and to get rested, eat right, go to sleep on time and then be mentally prepared for a 62 game season, it’s a grind definitely.
