Flash Lightning - Minnesota Storm - +4

As someone who's been here for a day or so, I am probably the best and perhaps the most qualified to look at a list of names for the upcoming VHL Entry Draft and pick the best ones. So here are the Top 10 names: 10. Jerry Garcia This name is only on the list because it reminds me of the famous ice cream, Cherry Garcia, by Ben and Jerry's. When eating the ice cream, it makes me feel good about my self in ways that I did not think possible, so nothing but positive vibes here. 9. Kari Jurri This is not the first time, nor will it be the last time, that hockeyis66 will use a Finnish legend as his player's name, with the subtle change of the first letters, but he does it so seamlessly here because Kari is an actual name. It rolls off the tongue and he should be a first round pick just because of that. 8. Hans Gruber This is an interesting choice of name, because Hans Gruber may be the greatest villain in movie history. If you don't know, Hans Gruber (played by Professor Snape) fought Rachel's boyfriend Paul (from Friends) and ended up losing. Gruber looks good on the back of a jersey though. 7. Tim W Honestly, this name could have been first. Tim W is soft, sophisticated and gentle. Could have Cher or Oprah simplicity power. Strong move here. 6. Fudge Popsicle Some of the best names come from the thing that is in your hand. I have a feeling this is exactly what happened. It is tough to come up with a solid name, and as we get closer to the summer season, look for more cold foods to become player names. 5. Rusty Shackleford Another name that rolls off the tongue. I can already hear the crowd chanting his name. RUS-TY SHACK-EL-FORD. He's likely an old-timey boat captain, or perhaps he owns a saloon. 4. Shawnomir Jagr Without knowing anything about the user, it is safe to think that his real life name is Shawn? Or perhaps he knows a Shawn, a very important person in his life. Or perhaps he went to school with a guy named Shawn who had a mullet and made the obvious connection. 3. Charlie Paddywagon Paddywagon is a name for a police car in England, if I am not mistaken? Having a car as a hockey player would be interesting. Would have been higher on the list if his name was Mike Mazzerati or Luigi Lamborghini, which gives me a great idea for another name. It's a shame all the good names are coming to me after I've already created. 2. Hunter Hearst Helmsley It's time to play the game, and that game is Paul Levesque. Honestly, the old school wrestling fan in me should have made this name number one on my list, and if I would have known this name existed, perhaps I would have used the Paul Levesque moniker. Or Stone Cold Steve Austin, or another big name from the good old days. Solid name with an obvious nickname attached. 1. Jet Jaguar If you hadn't noticed already, I'm a sucker for alliteration. Jet Jaguar. It reminds me of that Family Channel series "Famous Jett Jackson", which was amazing, however pretty sure the main character eventually killed himself, so now I'm starting to have second thoughts about this name as my number one choice. The fact that this name comes from gorlab, who is a bit of a legend, makes it even better. Nope, now I'm liking this pick again, and it actually goes very well with the number 3 entry. Honourable Mentions: None, these are the only good names.

Name: Flash Lightning Age: 20 Height: 6'1 Weight: 195lbs Birthplace: Chicago, Illinois Jersey #: 17 Former Teams: Chicago Steel (USHL) - 1 season, University of Maine (NCAA) - 3 seasons 17 - Chicago Steel (USHL) - 43GP - 21G - 10A - 31PTS 18 - Univ. of Maine (NCAA) - 28GP - 7G - 3A - 10PTS 19 - Univ. of Maine (NCAA) - 34GP - 15G - 9A - 24PTS 20 - Univ. of Maine (NCAA) - 36GP - 31G - 16A - 47PTS Flash Lightning, the son of former Calgary Wrangler and Riga Reign legend Ace Lightning, has hit a crossroad in his career. Passed over 3 separate times in the NHL Entry Draft, he has decided to enter the VHLM draft in hopes of extending his hockey life. A natural goal scorer, Lightning has enjoyed offensive success at every level, but it has never been good enough to get him to that next level. After a great year as a junior at Maine, he has decided to forego his final year at the university, instead deciding to go pro. He did have a few offers to play in the American Hockey League and ECHL, but ultimately chose the VHLM. But what happens if he goes undrafted again...? Scouting Report: PLUS +Scoring: There is no question that Flash has a hell of a shot, and he has scored at a high clip in every league he has played in. He has got a deceptive shot that has been compared to a Vladimir Tarasenko or Brock Boeser. He's got a unique curve on his stick that makes it easy to toe drag and keep it close to his body, deceptively fooling the goaltender. He is a player that the coach puts out in the last 2 minutes of a game, down by 1 goal, because he has a high shooting percentage and knows how to score goals. +Speed: With a name like Flash, he's gotta have some wheels. His foot speed has been something he had been told to work on when he was passed over in his first draft year. His shooting is nice, but he needs to be able to get around the defender in order to use the shot. He's a speedy son of a gun, who can beat a defender inside or outside. He's an effortless skater, who's not the biggest or strongest guy, but damn is he fast. +Puck Handling: You have to be a good puck handler to be a good hockey player, and Lightning can stickhandle himself into or out of any situation. He's not the best deker on the team but he can hold his own. He has a fun little move where he puts the puck between his legs. It's really cool. MINUS -Defense: Naturally, Flash is not exactly Bobby Orr out there, and will need to improve his two-way game if he wants to have any success in his future hockey career. Although scoring goals are nice and all, defense wins championships and if Flash wants to play big, important minutes, he needs to be better. -Discipline: As a goal scorer, Flash tends to be a bit of a diva and can take undisciplined penalties, which also stems from his subpar defensive game. He reaches in and hooks when he really shouldn't, so that is something he will need to improve. -Leadership: Flash is a young guy, and at this point in his career he is not much of a leader but tries to lead by example. This will come in time. He may be the best leader you will ever draft.
