PLAYER NAME: DENVER WOLFE AGE: 19 HEIGHT: 6'2" WEIGHT: 200lbs FROM: IRELAND HANDEDNESS: LEFT TEAM: LAS VEGAS ACES Known as the A$$kicker, Denver Wolfe has a reputation despite not having played one single game of professional or minor league hockey and it's likely not the best reputation to have. Despite having hands of an angel, a shot that could break bones and speed like the flash, he's very much a hot head. Despite the temper he may have, he's able to remain professional with teammates and coaching staff alike and is very comfortable with taking orders and following coaching advise and tips from teammates without issue. Because of this, most teams will find that Denver can absolutely fit into any style of play, can make the best out of any situation and is going to potentially be a leader as he's shown signs of his potential at such a young age. All of these perks combine into one of the best players the VHLM and potentially the VHL has scouted, below are his pros and cons of the game. PROS SKATING SCOUTS COMMENTS: Denver Wolfe is an absolute nightmare for any player whether back-checking, fore-checking or just playing his position alone, Wolfe is always there. During combine, he's scouted to be one of the fastest of his potential class and showcased some of the best burst speeds the youngsters had to offer. His ability to take off and end up from point A to point B is just explosive and really has some amazing control, because of this, we'd list this as his best asset. SLAPSHOT SCOUTS COMMENTS: While Wolfe can shoot the puck with a wrister just like the best of them, his ability to maneuver the puck in such a way that he can pick the pocket pretty much anywhere he wants is absolutely unique and one of a kind. His keen eye for finding the smallest of openings and being able to so accurately get the puck where it needs to be just showcases his ability to not only handle the puck but really become a threat to any goalie who may feel safe with their positioning. Easily his second best skill, and the reason we rank him so highly among his fellow teammates and draftees. POSITIONING SCOUTS COMMENTS: Tying into the skating aspect of his game is Wolfe's fantastic ability to play his position which a lot of players just simply cannot say they do overly well. Whether it's in his own zone having to stick check or poke check, or if it's in the offensive zone making sure he stays open to nail home a slapper, he knows how to utilize his clear ability to keep himself in position at all times and make sure his teammates can rely on him. With this, his third best skill and showcasing his talents here as he does so with ease. CONS HITTING SCOUTS COMMENTS: Don't get discouraged just yet by reading this, however showcasing talents show that Wolfe doesn't know his true hitting potential just yet, thus does not throw the body as much as he's asked or told to do. During the combine, he did show one of the best hitting powers of the combine however really did not impress anyone with his body work or board play, had he thrown in his fair share of hits, he'd likely be touted higher in this aspect, but there is no concern for future development as Wolfe knows what he has to do to get up to the top tier of hitting. DISCIPLINE SCOUTS COMMENTS: This is a bit of a touchy subject, Wolfe knows he has a temper, and while we noted he does not allow it to get him in fights with teammates and coaches alike, he is known for taking some unfortunate penalties due to emotions taking over his gameplay. Right now, this may not be of concern as in the minors it's bound to happen however scouts do believe without proper coaching and proper discipline this could translate to the major leagues. We would love to blame his Irish temper for this issue, however we do believe that due to not having played in a league and always playing on his own, it's just a skill he's yet to develop. FIGHTING SCOUTS COMMENTS: While he may take dumb penalties as some would say, one thing he will not be doing much of is fighting. While he is Irish, he does not believe in fighting on the ice, however if he invites you to a bar after the game and you've maybe done something to push his buttons, I'd maybe politely decline, because off the ice, he's been known to crack some heads, for lack of a better term. However, the reason we scouted this feature is because some teams are looking for goons to step up and fight and with a player who just doesn't believe in it nor has any desire for it, we would like to push this forward as a CON for some teams.

Ask any and all questions, I am available to answer.

The Las Vegas Aces seem to have received a power up in the form of a big bodied two-way defensemen named Denver Wolfe. Denver has spoken to the media earlier today to explain his situation, his upbringing and what his plans are moving forward in this league. No official statement was released from the league to confirm this signing however we do not see why a player would release this information if not true, so we choose to believe it. With Denver Wolfe now signed, we break down the defensive abilities of the Aces organization to see just what it'll be life for the youngster moving forward. Eric Parker - With speed, size and offensive skills, Parker is the most developed and skilled defender on the team. Already on a very nice pace for the Aces this season, Parker has demonstrated that he can and will be elite at both ends of the ice and brings a high-paced level of game the minor league needs. Expect Parker to explode this season as he continues to work on his balanced playing style. James Lombardi - Their #2 for the team and not far behind Parker, Lombardi is a smaller bodied defender but knows how to throw it around with the rest of them. With his primary sight being a shutdown game, expect Lombardi to show up big on the defensive side of the game. While he has some slight offensive upside, we expect Lombardi to be up there with the best of them in terms of hitting, takeaways and blocked shots. Mitch Matthews - Another more defensive-minded player, Mitch Matthews is focusing on his hitting game, his defensive game and is going to likely be a goon moving forward, a big presence on the blue line and if you see him skating at you while you're entering the zone, likely a good idea to run. Matthews does not have much offensive upside but its not always about the offense, the term defense wins championships was not said for no reason... With more players also on the roster, it's been said that Wolfe will suit up at the #4 d-man, whether it be with Matthews or whether Las Vegas has plans to mix and match the pairings to give themselves two players who play similar styles on each line we will have to wait and see. What this means for Wolfe however is that he can expect to play big minutes quick but should be prepared for that kind of pressure, as he is well aware of what will happen when it counts.

Sitting Down With Denver Wolfe As a newcomer to any league, players are anxious to get their names out there and let people know just who they are. The same can be said about the newest addition to the VHL/VHLM community by a young fierce red-headed boy by the name of Denver Wolfe. Denver, a native of Ireland joined the league in hopes to break down the barriers and stigmas around Irish folk and hockey, he's hoping that by competing on such a big platform people will begin to realize that Irishmen and Irishwomen alike can in fact stand up with the best of them. That being said, below is the first ever interview with Denver Wolfe after coming to the VHL. VHLM INTERVIEWER: Hello everyone and thank you so much for joining us live at VHLM.com. We're here with a magnificent young talent who has just joined the ranks today and his name is none other than Denver Wolfe. Denver, first and foremost thank you for joining me today, it is an honor and a privilege to have you here. DENVER WOLFE: Honestly its a dream come true and a pleasure to be here myself. Thank you so much for having me. VHLM INTERVIEWER: You're very welcome. Now Denver, we know you made a few impact statements in Ireland with all the press back home but obviously with some questions of our own, we're hoping you can make a few more. The first question simply has to be, what was the logic behind coming to join this league? DENVER WOLFE: Great question, and while I did answer some back home, I absolutely knew I'd have to answer some here, and I've come prepared. Basically, there is only so much you can do in Ireland if really anything. My dad made me a makeshift hockey rink in our backyard as we own a lot of property but the upkeep of the rink was very expensive because we always had to keep it chilled and smooth, that being said, I felt like not only would coming to America further benefit me from showcasing my talents and everything I've taught myself, but it would also put out to the world that us in Ireland know a thing or two about hockey too. VHLM INTERVIEWER: Well now you've got me curious Denver, you just said you're self-taught which means no professional lessons, no other experience in a minor league of any kind, everything you're bringing to the table is completely self-taught? DENVER WOLFE: Absolutely is. We've got internet just like the rest of you around the world and all I would really do is play videos of skating techniques, stick handling techniques and binge watch countless hours of these videos to really establish myself on the ice. Once I felt comfortable on one aspect of my game, say my skating, I would move on to the next. I did this for years since I was a wee little kid, and it's really brought out all of the good and the bad of me, but I believe now with everything I've taught myself, I can be successful. VHLM INTERVIEWER: Well I have to say that this is certainly not only the most amazing story we've heard, but also the most unique. To have a player enter the league with no professional experience but having so many positive things said about him is amazing, we're certainly excited to see this talent you've created. Now with that being said, the big question has to be and I'm sure everyone is going to be recording here when I say this...whose it going to be? In the VHLM you have multiple teams, which one have you chosen? DENVER WOLFE: Right down to the big question huh? I guess I should have seen that coming. I have in fact chosen an offer and while it's not been publicly announced, I guess you'll all hear it here first. I have decided to go with the Las Vegas Aces, an organization that presented themselves wonderfully to me, with a lot of poise to be a top tier player in their organization. From what I've read up on them they seem like the type of organization I can be a good fit in. While the other teams offering on me were just as established, speaking with the general manager really helped open my eyes to what the area is all about plus they do say that Las Vegas is known as sin city and I've never experienced a place quite like that, so hopefully moving forward I'll see I've made the right choice. VHLM INTERVIEWER: While I'm sure some may be shocked this sounds like an excellent place and they do in fact call it sin city so expect some fun times out there for sure. That all being said, is there any final thoughts you would like to put out there for the world to hear? DENVER WOLFE: Not much else from me other than another thank you for having me and just letting everyone know to keep their eyes on me because I plan to make big waves very quick, I am not the type of guy to sit around and expect things to be handed to me, I want people to know my name and I'll make sure they know my name. VHLM INTERVIEWER: There you have it folks, you heard it here first from Las Vegas' very own Denver Wolfe, newest defender on the team. This is the VHLM report signing off, have a good night.

Just so it's formally accepted on the forum, I do accept this offer

I am a big fan of one of the youtubers who advertised your site, with his recommendation I joined hopefully I should have the hang of it but I shall let you know if I need help thank you.
