  4. Hmmm I'm curious to try it out sometime here, I have hockey knowledge but I don't feel I know enough about this league to mentor others yet.
  5. The Life and Times of Moritz Stauffer EARY LIFE: Born near the Bavarian Alps in Germany, Stauffer was no stranger to snow and winter weather but he was not exactly super familiar with hockey either as it is not a popular sport in Germany like it is in other hockey powerhouse countries. Moritz had a normal birth; his mother (Lena) and his father (Bjorn) were an average married German couple who were well above the poverty line. His father played Basketball in a semi-pro league back in Berlin and his mother was a Physiotherapist—they met while attending University and married after. Moritz immediately showed signs of high intelligence before he even started school, he was enrolled in private school and was highly thought to be on track to be on the career path of playing Basketball. He was tall for his age and had the genetics; why wouldn't he? Maybe it was a desire to be different than his father but Moritz when he was 8 or 9 quickly discovered he had a bigger affinity for ice hockey which was regionally popular in the winter months and he enjoyed getting out on the ice with his friends when he wasn't focused on academics. Minor Hockey Career: It certainly took a bit of convincing but Moritz would win over his father and join a local minor youth hockey program in Germany. Skating was probably the thing that he found the hardest at first, he was a tall and clumsy kid who did not need skates to look out of place. His first couple seasons he appeared to be an average at best player and certainly was not on any scouts radar; but he had an affinity for learning and a strong work ethic. His development was obvious and by the time he was gearing up for high school; scouts were taking notice—including scouts from overseas in America and Canada. Stauffer would have a tough decision to make as elite US High School scouts wanted him to make the move with the promise that they would develop him into a pro level player. With a weak grasp on the English language and being a young kid still who would be asked to leave his family and friends for a foreign country, Stauffer was not ready for such a decision or commitment. He saw the vision of getting to the VHL but he would do it his way and stay and train in Germany until he was ready to enter the VHLM and show off his talent. At just 14 years old; his game was very unpolished and he needed a better program and coaches though to get there. MINOR LEAGUE STATISTICS: 87 Games Played | 9 Goals | 35 Assists | 128 Shots Blocked | +29 German Development League: With Stauffer's decision to stay put in Germany, his sights were on the development league in Germany which is the premiere place for young prospects to play for further recognition. Most of the time this would be a stepping stone to play semi-pro in Germany but in some circumstances it was also the way to go to make it to the pros without leaving Germany. There wasn't a lot of attention though for Moritz among teams and his decision would ultimately come down to two teams who had serious interest. His minor league statistics didn't stand out on paper and only a few scouts could see the potential he possessed by eye test. His options came down to Dortmund and Dresden which were cities that were not immediately close to home; but at least the language and culture was familiar and home was an easy train ride home. Attending a new school while away from family and friends took it's toll on Moritz who ultimately decided to go to Dortmund; but towards the end of the season he started to find comfort in his new atmosphere and became an anchor on the team's blueline. The playoffs hit and the team was able to upset one of the top teams in the first round before falling victim to the eventual champs. Statistically it wasn't a superior season for Moritz but his growth once again was obvious as he was able to strongly improve on his skating and other areas of weakness through the team's excellent developmental coaches. In his second season the scouts took notice as Moritz quickly became well known throughout the whole league as he was stuffing the stat sheets and giving opposing forwards problems on the defensive end. The VHLM dream was quickly approaching and with the season ending in Germany; Stauffer once again found himself with a life changing decision, he could leave now and attend a tryout session for any of the VHLM teams and enter the dispersal draft in the summer...or stay home and polish his game against inferior opposition. DORTMUND HC STATISTICS: 112 Games Played | 26 Goals | 64 Assists | 266 Shots Blocked | +98 VHLM Career: We arrive at the present where Moritz would spend a short amount of time with the Mexico City Kings where he struggled to adapt to the North American game but managed to help contribute to the team's playoff run as he got the second round. Fast forward one season and he's just wrapped up a disappointing round one exit with the Halifax 21st but statistically has started to shine as one of the main contributors on the team. His sights are set on the VHL and the next step urges him to play in the Europe League to further develop his game after being drafted in the upcoming draft.
  6. Moritz Stauffer Defensemen | Birthplace: Germany | VHLM Team: Halifax 21st Height: 6'3 | Weight: 215 lbs | Age: 20 Eligible S88 VHL Draft Moritz Stauffer is an exciting VHL prospect hailing from the country of Germany. He came into the VHLM late into the S86 campaign signing a temporary deal with the Mexico City Kings and helped them get to the second round of the VHLM playoffs; suffering a game 7 defeat to the eventual champion Marlins. In the offseason Stauffer would get drafted to the Halifax 21st where he would play the full S87 campaign on the teams top defensive unit. Stauffer proved to be an elite two-way defensemen in the league but ultimately the 21st lacked the depth to go far in the playoffs and they were knocked out in Game 5 of the first round. Stauffer should be on most team's radar as he becomes draft eligible this offseason and it is expected he will first spend a season in the VHLE before making the jump. STRENGTHS: Stauffer possesses a strong all-around game as a great skater who can move the puck well out of his own end. He can make plays with the puck and help setup his teammates and is able to score at times as well. Defensive consistency is perhaps his greatest strength as Stauffer is a solid anchor on the blueline who definitely does NOT lack size in this league. Stauffer is very disciplined as he has a quiet presence at times on the ice and does not take many penalties. He is capable of playing and contributing on both the power play and the penalty kill. WEAKNESSES: Despite his size, Stauffer lacks strength as a defensemen and does not instill fear into opposing forwards when in his own end and on the other end he can sometimes easily get knocked off the puck. His quiet presence also indicates he lacks leadership in his game as he has not shown any signs of leading a team or being a veteran presence in the locker room; this could be due to his limited capability of speaking English. SCOUTING ANALYSIS: Grade: 4/5* Potential Likelihood of reaching potential: A NHL Comparison: Moritz Seider Play Style: Two-way Defensemen Stauffer projects to be a top defensemen in the VHL but isn't considered a generational prospect or a Top 3 pick. His two way game as a defensemen should make him coveted by a lot of VHL teams and it's likely he goes late in the first round. He shows no signs of someone who won't reach his potential and should be considered a safe pick for any VHL team.
  7. Damn only an honorable mention AND I had to go to light mode to read this. Consider this a rivalry indeed!
  8. Moritz Stauffer is a big defensemen hailing from Germany; a country not known as a powerhouse in ice hockey. Slowly, but surely, he's been rising up in draft boards as he's becoming a steady defensement in the VHLM who can log big minutes, play sound defense and chip in offensively. While this hasn't entirely translated to wins for the Halifax 21st this season, it's not fair to shoulder the blame on Stauffer who played an integral role last season with the Mexico City Kings playoff run. With the VHL Draft approaching, Stauffer SHOULD be on the radars of most VHL GM's who need a great two-way puck moving defensemen. We caught up with Mo today and asked him some questions regarding his VHL expectations heading into the Draft and his reflections on his VHLM experience. Q: You've been moving up the draft boards heading into this next VHL Draft Mo, have you had talks with any teams yet and what has that been like? A: No. Nobody has reach out to me. Probably focus on winning right now like me, so they don't worry about talking to people like me yet. I see scouts in stands sometimes. They watch a lot. I just focus on winning for team right now. Q: Speaking of winning right now, the 21st have had a disappointing season according to some based on early expectations. What are your thoughts on that? A: We want to win. I want to win. We hear the noise and we know we are better. We must be better for sure. Q: You were notably left off of the roster for the World Junior Championship last offseason, has that motivated you to be a better player this season? A: Hmm. Yes, I think so. It hurt not being on the roster. I play in prospect tournament shortly after that and I played strong game there. I worked hard in offseason to be better and still work hard but to say it was because of not being invited to international tournament? I don't know. Q: Do you have any preferred destination in the VHL to be drafted to? Europe or North America matter to you? A: Look I am from Germany and play in Canada and Mexico already. Don't matter to me, what is one more language to learn? Already know German, English, bit of Spanish and French. I play for whoever want me and pay me good money. Q: Thanks Mo for talking with us and good luck the rest of the way! A: Thank you!
  9. Oh shit I won something...how do I claim?
