    Bussing around in Europe, again

    in VHL.com Articles

    Posted · Edited by diacope

    After the dust settled and the busy weekend was over Ryan Busser found himself back in Europe after returning to North American last season. Busser was drafted 29th overall and just recently signed a contract worth 5M, the Riga Reign will have his rights for the next 3 seasons. Although he may not play for the team right away both parties were thrilled to connect and the future was looking bright. 

     

    Before joining the VHLM Ryan played 5 seasons in Russia where we won a championship and was one of the top players playing for Moscow-Spartak Spartak in the RHLM, now he find himself on a team in Latvia which is the border state to Russia. With a familiar atmosphere, new gear and getting drafted with teammates should give R.B. the boost he needs to fuel his development and he should make the transition easily whenever the time comes.

     

    This season Busser was also drafted in the VHLM and went 16th overall to a rebuilding Mexico City Kings, with 2 first round selections and 9 total picks the team ended up turning out similar to San Diego last season, giving Ryan plenty of ice to play his game with potential around him. He also finds himself teaming up with Alyksander Hunter again and were drafted to the same teams, both players played well together last season and had a total of 117 points between the two of them, making them a threat every time they hit the ice and playing another season together will only make their chemistry better.

    1. How do you feel on playing for the Mexico City Kings?

     

    Great, the whole team seems to be on board to be active and things should fall in place quickly, I like the big market, logo and being drafted to a team with a past teammates is the cherry on top!

     

    2. Did you expect to be drafted where you went?

     

    Yeah actually, knew I wasn't a top pick and was probably going to be selected late in the 1st round, ended up being the first pick in the 2nd round so I was kind of right.. 

     

    3. Are you happy with where you got drafted in the vhl/where do you think youll be drafted in the vhl?

     

    Very happy to be selected in the top 30 after not being drafted at all last season. The team had a lot of selections in the draft and has a lot of potential, we all just need to make it to practice every day and work on the right skills.

     

    4. What's your gameplan for this season?

     

    Hopefully score more goals while doing the same stuff as last season, try and be a more complete player so I can get on the score sheet at opportune times.

     

    5. Is a hotdog a sandwich?

     

    Nope, you need more ingredients for a sandwich.

     

    6. What are your expectations for your player in the VHLM?

     

    Hopefully take home a few awards, the sky's the limit and I want to help my teammates develop their game and have a team full of shooters by the end of the season that will be ready to strap in during tough times to secure a win or get a comeback victory.
