Mike Colon took literally 24 days to get this interview done, so our staff actually wasn't quite sure what to do when he hit us up. But we scrambled to get this one together, and we hope you enjoy.

[Yvana]: Hey, Mike. We’re going to hit the ground running with this interview. What are your thoughts on this summer coming to a close? More importantly, tell us about your thoughts in general. 

-[Mike]: "Summer coming to a close is always rough, but definitely excited for senior year and the start of the puck season. Currently though, I'm thinking about a cactus."

Could you be a little more specific? Saguaro? Prickly Pear? Are you hear to mess around or do an interview? Whats your go-to monopoly strategy?

-"Monopoly? My strategy would be flip the board and play Catan."

What in the world is Catan? Who are you? Are you playing goalie this year, or sort of feeling it out as it goes?

-"I'd say feeling it out as it goes. Ideally we get enough good freshmen that my bendy ankles get me cut as a player anyway and the choice is made for me. Splitting time between the pipes with Scotty and heckling you all in practice sounds like a good time."

Morgan Baylor has personally guaranteed that you won't stop a single shot he takes this season, so I'd be a little worried either way if I were you. Is your floor still wrecked from “Green Key activities”?

-"Hopefully the 19s cleaned it up this summer, but it could easily still be wrecked. Good times, though."

Insane times (I've heard). Would you rather score a hat trick and have your team lose 6-3, or lead your team to a 5-4 victory in net with 9 saves?

-"4 goals on 9 shots is a pretty brutal stat line, but I've probably done worse. I'd take the W."

Unreal selfless attitude. So admirable. What led you to pick up the sport within the past few months?

-"I saw Chris McCorkle walk by with a sweet club hockey shirt on. Had to pick it up just for the gear."

Kid has unreal sty. Playstation or Xbox?

-"Xbox, obviously."

Okay... it clearly isn't obvious or else I wouldn't have asked. Get down off your high horse, bud. If you were an organ in the human body, which one would you be?

-"Probably large intestine. Get it?"

Nope, don't get it. Probably a Rick and Morty joke I'm assuming. I'm looking forward to you explaining that joke later on though. What goes through a goalies head when they know they are solely responsible for a team’s loss?

-"I don't know, never been solely responsible for a loss. Or even a single goal for that matter. Always the defensemen's fault."

Excellent. Two of our goalies have now said that they have never been at fault for a goal against in their life. Two prime Vezina candidates. You drive to the store at 20 mph and return by the same route at 30 mph. Discounting the time spent at the store, what was your average speed?

-"Why would i drive to the store at 20 mph? Is this store on a single lane road in a small suburban neighborhood with signs saying stuff like 'drive like your pets live here'?"

No Mike, it isn't on one of those roads. Just a normal store. Favorite team in the KHL farm league?

-"Bridgeport Sound Tigers. USA hockey all day."

Have you ever answered a question before? I said KHL, not AHL. Do you feel superior to other goalies because you know you can skate out better than them?

-"Does a lion feel superior to an ant eater in the jungle? I don't know the answer I'm actually asking a question."

I'm actually not sure either, but I would assume so. Hahahah what if all lions were just terrified of anteaters? If you could completely customize your helmet, what would the design be like?

-"It would just be an astronaut helmet. Ideally with a shatterproof visor."

Nope, can't be shatterproof. Sorry, forgot to mention that in the question. Are you a fan of scented trash bags, why or why not?

-"My trash bags generally just smell like dominos pizza, so it doesn't matter."

Interesting. Tell me more. Favorite family guy character?

-"Gotta be Stewie."

Thanks for tuning in to my first article as a new intern writer for the team, I hope you all enjoyed Mike's riveting life story.
