Jordan Maverick is Quietly Having a Career Season

Jordan Maverick celebrates after a goal
 
"Jordan Maverick" may not be a household name around the VHL, but he is certainly starting to turn heads in Riga. Now, the Reign aren't looking like the greatest team on the planet right now and currently hold a 9-22-5 record while placing 4th in the European Conference. However, they are only 4 points behind the last playoff spot, currently owned by the Titans. Maverick is a big reason as to why the Reign still have a chance at seeing post-season action.
 
After 36 games played, Maverick has 12 goals and 21 assists for 33 points, which is good for 2nd on the team. He also brings a big physical presence to the game, throwing out 104 hits, while only being hit 69 times himself. He creates plenty of turnovers and scoring chances going the opposite way. He was given more responsibility this season and has been on the first line for most of the entire season. While Riga is a young and developing team, Maverick hopes to be a player that can lead by example and help drive his team forward for a hopeful playoff appearance. At the end of last season, Maverick had 19 goals and 26 assists for 45 points. He is on pace to set new personal records for goals, assists, points and hits this season.
 
Maverick was asked recently about his performance so far this season. "I'll be honest, for awhile I was just going through the motions of being a new player on a struggling team. For most of my career, I feel like the teams I've been on didn't have high aspirations and just weren't able to find the edge or stride or whatever it took to be more than just competitive. So, I decided recently that instead of just sitting back and observing, that I would take it upon myself and make sure that I was not the reason my team wasn't winning. I focus more in practice and am the first was on the ice and last one off. I normally have the backup goalie stay after practice now so that I can work on my shot, deflections, and a few other things. I'm hoping that the things I do now set an example for my team and maybe even inspire others to give it their all as well."
 
Jordan Maverick signed a 3 year contract at the beginning of the season in hopes that his dedication will inspire others to join, whether it be from within, or via trades and free agency. He has stated that he would ultimately like to fulfill his contract in Riga, but also wants to play for a winning team. Hopefully, he will be able ti do both! We are starting to see more Maverick jerseys in the stand as fans love his two-way ability, his knack for making a timely assist, and for his bone-crushing hits. Look for Maverick to keep getting better over the next few seasons as he has a shot of becoming more well-known league-wide!
 
 

Why should I be GM?
 
I shouldn't...good luck to the applicants.

asuhhhh

Woohoo! Hopefully the first of many!

Alternate Captain: D - Mason Richardson
@Kendrick was one of our big pick ups in Free Agency. Since then he has already asserted himself as a leader in the locker room and a massive help to the off-season business. He's knowledgeable of just about everything this league has to offer and will be a go-to member and player for the season. We're excited to have him on board and look forward to what he can do for Riga!
 
Alternate Captain: D - Jakob Ackerman
@James has been the blood of the Riga Reign since Ackerman was acquired. It was a mistake on my part to even let him reach FA and we're very glad to have him back. James has been around for this entire run so it only feels right that Ackerman gets one of the As as well. We spit in the face of the James curse and look forward to hopefully breaking it this season.
 
Captain: C - Bronson Faux
@Jamie is this generation of the Reign and the past as well. From McQueen to Faux, she has been there to do whatever it takes to help lead this franchise. There is a reason that she is potentially the longest running captain in the league history. Faux will be making a big step to lead the team as the numero one center this season and we're hoping for quite the season from our leader. 
 
Congratulations to those selected, and here's to a fantastic S47 campaign! Let's get it done.

An early exit from the playoffs gave Jordan maverick a head start on preparing for the draft. For a short time, he contemplated whether or not to continue his career in the VHl or call it quits and become a family man. VHL GMs are happy with what he chose. Maverick is projected as a first round selection and has quietly acquired roughly 150 TPE heading into the new league. When asked about team preference, Maverick answered, "I honestly dont know too much about any of the VHL teams. I'd prefer to go to an established team that is not rebuilding, unless I'm the final piece of a rebuild. But, at the end of the day, I just want to go to a team that wants me. I will have no problems playing for whoever drafts me." 
Maverick tends to look at his stats to see where he can improve, so we're going to do the same.
S45 Regular Season Stats
G: 37
A: 53
P: 90
+/-: 74
Hits: 199
Hits Taken: 125
Maverick finished the season as a Top 10 Player in the following: Goals, Plus/Minus, Hits, Minutes Played. He also finished the season on an 8 game point streak, showing his improvement at the end of the end of the season. He scored the 2nd most points for Left Wingers after fellow Bern Royals star Zach Parechkin. They played on the same line throughout the season and Maverick really helped opened up lanes and create opportunities for the projected first overall selection. Maverick prides himself as being a big, physical presence on the rink, while having enough all-around skill and ability to score goals and feed assists to top skill players. His goal is to continue to improve at the next level and contribute as soon as possible to his new team!
