    SlapshotWrangler got a reaction from Dtayl in Ryuu on Nyugen's Camp   
    Saskatoon-Ryuu Crimson was invited to join Dylan Nyugen's camp and he accepts the deal. Dylan Nyugen's camp is a hockey camp where players like Dylan Nyugen and Ryuu Crimson teach the next generation of players. (Hopefully Saskatoon players.) "It's gonna be a fun time I bet. The experience will be awesome. I hope these kids can learn and grow with our camp as a tool. It would have been nice to have some VHL players like Sergei Komarov but then again they are probably busy and don't have the time."
    Ryuu fully supports the camp and hopes to be useful. "I mean, I'm some washed up Left Wing who so happened to be chosen by the Wild. It's not like I'm a superstar or a prodigy. I'm only a minor after all!"
    When asked about what he is most excited for, he replied, "Seeing all of these players grow up and become the next generation. Nothing is more cooler than knowing you helped to raise up the next Gretzky, or the next Crosby, and nothing is more cooler than watching them grow and playing in the Big Leagues."
     
    Ryuu Crimson's brother also joined the camp, hoping to improve.
    "He's at a good age, this camp will sure help him. It's also cool because my bro gets to meet some of my teammates and kind of see what it's like to be in the VHLM."
     
    He also fully supports the camp because he thinks every kid, rich or poor, should have a chance to learn, have a chance to play hockey. "Everyone deserves to play. Despite our differences, our money, our paycheques, our religion, colour or even number of pimples, everyone deserves to have a chance."
     
    Ryuu has some advice for the campers, "Try your best, be your best, and never not not not be your best, on and off the ice. Never not fear the egg rolls, seize your moment, have fun and for the love of God do not use the number 69."
     
    The camp is accepting 200 kids and it is first come, first serve, so reserve your spots quick. To contact Dylan Nyugen, message him at @Dtayl

    Crimson on being teammates with Nyugen
     
    SASKATOON-Ryuu Crimson has been teammates with Dylan Nyugen for quite a while now, and to Ryuu, Dylan is the ideal defensemen. "I mean cmon, he scores more goals than me, his passing is just downright awesome, his assist count js insane right now, who wouldn't call him the ideal defensemen?" Dylan has scored 4 goals, and I'm afraid to right the assists, fearing that if I end up writing it now, he would get more later and then everyone will hate me. Crimson also understands that Nyugen is a big story for Baltimore hockey. "I went on twitter and my feed exploded with Baltimore Hockey, Dylan Nyugen this, Dylan Nyugen that, and honestly, he deserves it. He really does, he grew up in a town where hockey was dying, chose the dying sport, became a pro and was the hero of a dying community, Baltimore should be rejoicing! Make Dylan Nyugen Day a city holiday or something! My mom went to visit some family and Baltimore, and she saw her nephew wearing a Nyugen jersey." Ryuu also says that he expects to see more of this kind of attention being brought to Nyugen. "He could be a celebrity, the next Gretzky! (Despite Gretzky not being a Defencemen) He probably scored a Hat Trick the day he was born! He will become a legend."

    SlapshotWrangler reacted to Dtayl in Celebrating the 4th in Canada   
    Saskatoon - Dylan Nguyen may be living in Canada and playing for a Canadian team but he still took his time to show his American pride and celebrate his home nations independence day. First he showed up to morning skate on the 4th decked out in team USA gear, and various American flag apparel. Then at game time he skated onto the ice with an American flag. However, the most exciting part of his celebration came after the game. After the game, Nguyen and a couple teammates took a 2.5 hour drive from Saskatoon to the province of Alberta where the legal age to Drink is 18. Nguyen was seen in the town of Lloydminster completely wasted, shouting to people passing by. Among the things he was shouting:  "Im going the be the greatest hockey player of all time", "F**k Yukon!", F**k anyone or team that has ever overlooked me, you'll all be sorry!". Nguyen was later seen being escorted home by teammate and friend Ryuu Crimson. Dylan Nguyen clearly enjoyed himself in his celebration of America's independence, hopefully this won't cause too much trouble for him back in Saskatoon.

    Ryuu talks about first shifts
    SASKATOON-Left Wing Ryuu Crimson has been with the Wild for a while now. We interviewed him about his first moments and his games so far. 
    "I only have 1 assist and 1 hit so far, not impressive but it will do for now." He hasn't had anything else but he is still trying his best. His teammate, Dylan Nyugen, has 2 goals so far, and doesn't look like he is stopping anytime soon. "Dylan is a good teammate, we talked in between games and he's great on and off the ice. Probably gonna make the VHL before I even get one goal. He is a great 2 way player, and deserves some attention."
     
    Ryuu is also getting more ice time and his satisfied so far. "Hey, I'm having more ice time, I just feel so bad my team has to basically carry me." He has had a few shots but hasn't gotten the puck in the net so far. "I really need to work on shooting, puck handling and passing, I suck at those right now."
     
    He was asked how the atmosphere was, and he replied, "This is Canada, you really have to ask that? It's freaking crazy here. Saskatoon is like the VHLM Nashville Preds. They have these crazy chants like, 'I've seen better saves from a Walmart Coupon' and until the end of the game they refer to the goalie as a Walmart Coupon and it's hilarious. Another time I heard someone shout, 'I've seen a non-alcoholic take more shots than the Aces!' I almost died."
     
    And when asked about the other players Ryuu simply said, "Dylan is a great guy, Harri is a great goalie, Lefty just got his first win, and I really look up to Mr. Komarov. He is a great person and I respect him a hella lot. He's not a player but just wanted to put that out there. Jordan is great and is amazing, and our team is awesome."
     
    The Left Winger is enjoying the VHLM, and is enjoying the ride. "I never would have thought that the last Founders Cup Champions would choose me. Saskatoon is awesome and the fans are just great."
     
    Ryuu is also well known in Saskatoon, as he played for Swift Current and collected a whopping 200 penalty minutes in the span of 10 games, the only games he played there. He has been suspended 5 times. But he says he's gonna try to change that. "Now that I'm finally here, I need to focus on playing the game and winning. I will still fight but it won't be my main focus. I'm in the VHLM now and I gotta act like it."
     
    Ryuu sat aside and watched Harri, Dylan, and other people get interviewed, and even saw Sergei Komarov. And that is when he heard that he might retire. When asked how he felt he said, "Kind of sad to me, he is a great player and one of the most admirable players I have seen. I hope he enjoys his retirement if he does end up retiring."
    We also asked him what his favourite VHL team was and he responded immediately saying, "Hands down, Calgary."
    The final question was if he was enjoying the VHLM and his reply was, "In the wise words of Vyacheslav Smirmov, 'Oh f*** yeah.'".

    SlapshotWrangler got a reaction from Beaviss in LW - Ryuu Crimson - Rookie Profile [1/2]   
    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.

    SlapshotWrangler got a reaction from Higgins in Ryuu Crimson excited for a new opportunity   
    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."
