Vibes are high around the 2023-24 Icepack right now, and for good reason. New and old faces alike have been congregating at Invisalign Arena for the past two weeks with immense excitement for the season ahead. The team has worked tirelessly in order to get ready for the season opener on Friday night against the East Carolina Pirates, nobody can deny that.

However, at the end of the day, hockey is fun. It's meant to be a release valve from the everyday life stressors, ranging from aerospace engineering courses to part-time jobs and everything in between. For that reason, I decided to take the fun route during Icepack Media Day on Tuesday, asking each of the 29 players a interesting hypothetical question. Enjoy.

1) Would you rather have hands for feet or feet for hands?

Ricky Frosch (#5)
Defense /
 Long Island, NY / Grad Student / Physiology
  • “Hands for feet, because if monkeys can do it, then so can I”
Nick Shook (#27)
Forward / Eastover, NC / Freshman / Engineering
  • ​“Hands for feet, because your hands are more stable than your feet”
Holden Koufman (#29)
Forward / Winston-Salem, NC / Freshman / Engineering
  • “Hands for feet, because I could get more stable balance”
Eric Daniel (#30)
Goalie / Raleigh, NC / Grad Student / Electrical Engineering
  • “Hands for feet because I could grab stuff with my feet”
Garrett Auriene (#17)
Forward / Youngsville, NC / Senior / Information Technology
  • “Hands for feet, because two more hands is OP”​​

2) Would you rather never be able to taste food or see color?

Drew Breshingham (#14)
Forward / Oswego, IL / Senior / Environmental Tech & Management
  • “Never see in color because I couldn’t live without food, I love peanut butter too much”
Noah Scherff (#3)
Defense / Greensboro, NC / Freshman / Sport Management
  • “Never be able to taste food, because I could eat disgusting things that I normally don't eat”
Caid Cox (#11)
Defense / Livingston, MT / Freshman / Aerospace Engineering
  • “I can go without seeing in color, because I love food and being able to taste food”
Spencer Harman (#19)
Forward / Vernon Hills, IL / Freshman / Computer Science
  • “Never see in color, because I’d rather be able to taste steak than see the bleachers in color”​​

3) ​Would you have a better chance to survive zombie or robots?

Joey Gouveia (#21)
Forward / Raleigh, NC / Junior / Elementary Education
  • “Zombies, because they’re slow and probably easier to kill”
Aiden Brenner (#12)
Forward / Amherst, NH / Sophomore / Business Administration
  • “Zombies, robots would annihilate us but we might have a slight chance with zombies”
Kade McConaghy (#6)
Defense / Charlotte, NC / Sophomore / Business Administration
  • “Zombies, because they’re not bulletproof”
Addison Lawrence (#33)
Goalie / Cary, NC / Sophomore / Business Administration
  • “Zombies, because I feel like you can get away from them quicker”

4) ​Would you rather always have an itch or always smell bad?

Jackson Cowen (#4)
Defense / Cary, NC / Senior / Sport Management
  • "Always have an itch, because I want people to not hate being next to me”
Zack Robinson (#7)
Forward / Apex, NC / Junior / Sport Management
  • “Always have an itch, because always having an itch only affects me, smelling bad affects other people”
Nick Librizzi (#13)
Defense / Raleigh, NC / Sophomore / Sport Management
  • “Always smell bad, because realistically I probably already smell bad”
Scott Daniel (#25)
Forward / Cary, NC / Freshman / Business
  • “Always have an itch, because I don’t want to smell bad in class”

5) If you could bring three things with you on a desert island, what would you bring and why?

Alex James (#15)
Defense / Lakeville, MN / Junior / Finance
  • “Ricky [to laugh at/with], Hockey stick [to practice], and headphones [to pretend I’m not there]”
Andrew Throndson (#18)
Defense / Apex, NC / Freshman / Business
  • “Sword [protection], water [hydration], and peanut butter [protein]”
Jackson Strong (#10)
Defense / Georgia, VT / Freshman / Aerospace Engineering
  • “Cows [steaks, burgers and clothes], fire [warmth and cooking], and a knife [protection... and to slaughter the cows]”
Isaac Tawyer (#1)
Goalie / Danvers, MA / Junior / Industrial Engineering & Economics
  • “Emery Oliver [various reasons], my PC [entertainment], and a stable internet connection [entertainment]”

6) Do you think you’d have a better chance at getting 10 rushing yards in an NFL game or 2 three pointers in an NBA game?

Emery Oliver (#22)
Forward / Raleigh, NC / Junior / Electrical Engineering
  • “Two threes, because I'm dirty from the stripe”
Cameron Lohr (#26)
Forward / Geneva, SUI / Sophomore / Textile Technology
  • “Rushing yards, because I got legs”
Philip Bailey (#23)
Forward / Holly Springs, NC / Junior / Bioprocessing Science
  • “Two threes, because I was gonna go to the league before I picked up a hockey stick”
Thomas McEneny (#9)
Forward / Wake Forest, NC / Junior / Business Management
  • ​“Two threes, because I’ve always been a shooter”

7) If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?

Luke Jagielski (#16)
Defense / Apex, NC / Senior / Marketing
  • “Controlling time, because I could do whatever I want whenever I want and it's more powerful than other people’s superpowers”
Chase Williams (#24)
Forward / Holly Springs, NC / Sophomore / Entrepreneurship
  • “Flying, because I can travel whenever I want to... I’d be in the Bahamas tomorrow”
Logan Todd (#28)
Forward / Raleigh, NC / Junior / Parks, Recreation and Tourism
  • “Flying, because I don’t want to walk to class”
Zach Herman (#8)
Forward / Holly Springs, NC / Sophomore / Business Entrepreneurship
  • “Flying, because I hate traveling”
