Basic Information Name: Ryuu Crimson Position: Left Wing Age: 18 Height: 68 in. Weight: 165 pounds Hometown: Calgary, AB Ryuu Crimson is a formidable left wing from Calgary. He formerly played for the Nipawin Hawks, Swift Current Broncos, Calgary Mustangs. This report was a bit hard due to lack of evidence and playing time, (only 120 minutes for a whole season, that has gotta suck.) He has a bit of an identity crisis because he can’t choose between Calgary and Saskatoon as his hometown, but we decided to choose Calgary. Strengths: Crimson is pretty strong. He can bench press about 260 pounds. But it’s not about how much he can lift, it’s about how he can apply his strength. He can hit pretty hard. His hits have actually injured some players to the point of them actually needing surgery. He makes smart moves with his hits, like using his fast skating ability as velocity to hit his opponents. Whenever an opponent is on the boards, he can perfectly time the skating to hit the opponent directly. We asked him about how he can time the hits perfectly he says that he wanted to be a physical player due to there being lack of that type of player. Also, like we mentioned earlier he can skate pretty fast. He can do one lap around the rink in around 14.3 seconds. He can also use the skating to surprise his opponents by suddenly cutting in front of them. He can change zones in a second and he can also turn on a dime. Going from backwards to forwards in an instant. He can also dodge hits really well, once using a triple axel to dodge a stick he was gonna run into. He can skate backwards faster than most players can do forwards and it’s like he has eyes on the back of his head, he barely has to look back when skating backwards. He is a pretty good fighter, he is very strong and he has made 3 players bleed, and has his jersey is basically blood red due to all of the blood caused from the fighting. His fights seem to ramp up the audience and he has more or less “won” all his fights. He has a total of 20 penalty minutes from roughing alone. Keep in mind this was all in 120 minutes. Weaknesses: Crimson is not a good scorer. He has only had one assist in his career so far. He has strong shots but he can’t seem to get the pucks in. Despite his strength he cannot simply get one goal in. Like Zip, Zero, Nada. No goals. He has been working hard on shooting though, but we’ll see if that will change. He is not a good passer in general as well. He can pass but he screws up sometimes and accidentally gives it to his opponent or misses his teammate’s stick. He is good at receiving passes. But keep in mind that he has really only had 4 games of experience that we watched, and we recommend that you help him work on his passing the most. He is not the best stick handler and he usually depends on his teammates to advance through the zones but he is working on it. He usually gives it to his Center or Right Winger to bring it up. He is not phenomenal but also not that bad, just don’t count on him to bring it to the offensive zone and to score. Conclusion: Ryuu Crimson will be a good asset to a team. He has the potential of getting better and becoming a really good player. He won’t be your team’s goal-scorer or your team’s Johnny Hockey but he will be a good person to help your team regain control of the puck and he will be capable of getting dirty.

Oh btw this is supposed to be media spot so idk, do I need to repost or is it fine? @Gooningitup

Ryuu Crimson excited for an opportunity CALGARY-Recently, the Saskatoon Wild reached out to Ryuu Crimson and other players to join. "They gave me a million dollar contract, and top line." The Left-Winger said, explaining why he chose them. "Sure, there could be better teams but they promised something I haven't had in a long time, more playing time." The Left-Winger has a history with the city of Saskatoon, living there for a couple of years before moving back to Calgary due to family emergancies. "The City of Saskatoon is a great place. The people there are very encouraging and friendly, and now that I'm going back, I'm excited to see how it's changed, and to see my friends again." Tomorrow, he will take the six hour drive to Saskatoon. He had recently bought a house there, and is looking forward to reunite with his friends and former teammates. "I actually played here in Saskatoon but for a small high school league, and some of my friends have been drafted in the Victory Hockey League way before me. I also can't wait to see the new members of my old team and see how much they've grown." His former coach, when asked about his reaction replied, "I'm proud of good ol' number 18, he worked hard and deserves to celebrate. As soon as he gets to Saskatoon, the whole team is gonna party, but I'll make sure this time he doesn't eat those darn eggrolls." When the Calgary Sun asked Ryuu what he was looking forward to, he shrugged and simply said, "I'm not looking to win Championships or looking for titles, money or just plain fame, I'm simply excited to be with this organization and excited about the great opportunity." He was also asked about going against Calgary, which he replied, "Well, I've been cheering for Calgary all my life, and even when I was in Saskatoon, I cheered for all things Calgary, so it's gonna be weird seeing their jerseys during the games, and I really hope I don't accidentally join them and score an own goal. We asked him what he thought he was gonna bring to the table, and he shrugged and answered, "I really don't know, I'm not great, but I'm just gonna try my best and see what happens." Ryuu Crimson only played 120 minutes which is only 4 games. That was all last season with the Junior League in Calgary. His goal was to get onto a team that would give him more ice time. Thankfully, he didn't have to look very far. 3 weeks after the season ended he was told that he might be able to join a team in the Victory Hockey League. 4 days after the news, the Saskatoon Wild invitated him. He and center Dylan Nguyen (In Vietnamese ng is pronounced like a m) were drafted as part of the teams rebuilding phase. Ryuu said, "I am glad that both of us got in, I hope we get to know each other and hopefully become linemates." After a few more interviews, Ryuu Crimson wrapped it up saying, "Here is some advice to other players being drafted into teams, just try your best, listen to your coach and veteran players, and when your celebrating just please, please stay away from the eggrolls." (don't know if this is how you submit or post an article but ok)

Thanks!

Ok, deal.

I will keep Ryuu.

Ah, okay, thanks.
