C: What are your favorite places to eat in Wenatchee and what do you order?

MV: I don’t know if it’s a place to eat, but I love Mela – they have really good coffee. I get a dark roast there.

C: What is your favorite opposing arena to play at and why?

MV: I would say Salmon Arm – the energy in there is always awesome.

C: What is something Coach Clarky has taught you since you joined the Wenatchee Wild?

Michael Valdez: I would say getting to the net and being a foot away from the goalie. That way you can bang in the rebounds and not just be stuck tied up with a defenseman.

Connor: Michael, thanks for taking time with us!
