I'm host Rocky Williams and I'm the host of the SHL Life, today the show makes it's debut with our first ever guest, winner of the Hart Trophy and captain of the Owen Sound Attack, Alex Watson.
Awards Ceremony
You were in a three-way race for the Hart Trophy, and all three candidates had a great opportunity to win it. Brooks lead the league in goals, Rock in points. What do you think it was that put you over the top?
I think the Only reason i beat Rock and Brooks in the vote was the fact that my team made the playoffs and the cats and the flames didn't
How do you feel, about the fact that many people singled you out, and claimed that you didn't deserve to win the award because of the Reggie Williams incident? "He played with a cheater all year, he didn't deserve to win it." How did you react to this?
I really could care less what people think of me.I thank the Gm's who voted for me and the ones who don't like me,that's there problem.
Being the league's first ever recipient of the Hart Trophy, it has been re-named the Alex Watson Memorial Trophy, can you describe this honour and what this means to you?
The renaming of such a greta trophy in my name is unbelievable. The feeling when i found out i won was indescribable.
Who were you chillen with at the ceremony?
I was chillin with my Girlfriend Jessica Alba for most of the time I was there.
What was your attire?
I actually went pretty casual.I wore a Green polo shirt and some khakis.
Reggie Williams Incident
How did you first feel when you heard about what Reggie Williams had done, what went through your mind?
I just couldn't believe he did it.
Did this hurt team chemistry at first, did you and your team mates take a turn against him? Or did it pull the team together?
I don't think it hurt team chemistry at all.
Was the Reggie Williams trade made because of what he had done, it was obvious that he wanted to stay in Owen Sound and have the opportuniy to correct himself and try to help the team get to the Challenge Cup. How come the trade was made?
I felt it was best for Reggie to get a fresh start.The fans in Owen Sound hated him and I thought it would be better for him to go somewhere else.
Do you still see Reggie Williams the same person as he was before the incident happened, back when everything was going smothly for the team?
Yes I do and I supprot him fully in his new GM job.
