    @nikkurri17 I wouldn’t say they are bad at there jobs.....
     
    Take it as a challenge to prove them wrong I was one of the highest touted Defenceman at the draft my year and I dropped down to the last pick of the 2nd round... 
     
    It’s where you go in the VHL draft that matters..

    nikkurri17 got a reaction from Bushito in Claimed: Veikko Bjornberg Coming to the VHL [1/2]   
    Veikko Bjornberg (pictured) skated with his cousin Viktor for Team Sweden during last years World Cup of Hockey. 
     
    Veikko Bjornberg is one of the latest players to announce his eligibility for the VHLM. A swift skating winger from Angelholm, Sweden, Veikko is a cousin of PHL superstar and potential Hall of Fame candidate, Viktor Bjornberg. The elder Bjornberg has been a true star and building block for the Seattle Sockeyes and somebody who perennially is among the leagues leading scorers. Viktor led the entire PHL in goals last season.. not bad for somebody who is generally regarded as a playmaker. Needless to say, Veikko has some very good bloodlines and is somebody who will be entering the VHLM with very high expectations. The fact that Veikko was selected to play for Team Sweden during last years World Cup did little to slow down the hype. Veikko was just 17 years old when selected to the team. By rule, players must be 18 or over to participate in the event. However, Sweden petitioned to allow Veikko play for the team and their efforts were successful. Veikko was granted exceptional status and permitted to play alongside his cousin Victor, former SHL legend Jhonas Skarsgaard, and the rest of the Silver Medal winning squad. 
     

    Veikko outclassed his peers while playing with Aarhus Havet Konger. 
     
    Veikko played for Aarhus Havet Konger last season, the farm team of Vingarstal IF of the PEHL. Aarhus is a team based out of Denmark. Veikko dominated, scoring 46 goals and adding 67 assists, in just 52 games. It was clear that Veikko was playing against a level of competition that wasn't as skilled as he is. Many people saw this stop as a potential preparation for Veikko's eventual journey across the pond to join the PHL. Bjornberg was regarded as a potential top 5 pick in the Season 23 PHL draft. The so-called experts were caught off-guard when Veikko announced late last week that he would venture out and look to bring his family's famous last name to a new league.  
     
    Back to where we started, Veikko Bjornberg will be coming to the VHL. While he is eligible to sign with a VHLM team now, and there have surely been some offers made to him since his declaration, it doesn't seem likely that Veikko will sign with a team now and will instead wait until the S59 VHLM Draft to find out where he will be playing his games next season. There's little doubt that he will be among the first handful of players selected. Bjornberg doesn't let his slight size (5'10", 171 pounds) stop him from attacking the net and putting pucks past goalies. If anything, Veikko uses this to his advantage, slipping through small gaps in the defense, and finding prime scoring locations. Veikko has usually been the quickest skater on the ice up until this point in his career and he didn't look out of place during his World Cup appearance. What really gets scouts excited about Veikko is his vision and creativity. "Bjorny" as he's known by his teammates makes passes that most players wouldn't recognize as being available.
     
    VHLM General Managers would be wise to take a long look at Bjornberg when scouting for the draft. There's little doubt that Veikko is going to succeed.

    Nice article, man. I only noticed one issue, you said he was staring on the ice for Halifax but I think you meant starring. And I would center the text under the picture. Other than that, couldn't ask for much more. Definitely a solid article and if you keep this up you'll be a star in no time. Welcome.

    VHLM prospect Nik Dufresne
     
    After taking some time to evaluate his options, Nik Dufresne announced his intentions to join the VHLM. Dufresne submitted all of the necessary paperwork to join the league late on Thursday evening. Nik is the younger brother of PHL player Marc Dufresne, Marc is a two-way center who has been a staple in the Seattle Sockeyes line-up for a number of seasons.
     
    "Yeah It's been pretty cool over the years, having somebody like Marc to lean on." Says the younger Dufresne,
     
    "He's a few years older than me and I've definitely looked up to him a lot, especially when I was younger. Seeing how successful he has become made me realize that I could accomplish whatever I set my mind to. As long as I worked hard enough and dedicated myself to becoming a successful hockey player, I would eventually get an opportunity to prove myself. I've spent the past few breaks I've had from school, traveling with the Sockeyes and I feel like I've learned a lot. It's definitely an advantage to be able to see what professionals do to prepare themselves for the game at the highest level."
     
    Dufresne has spent the past two seasons attending and staring on the ice for a private school in Halifax, Nova Scotia. In his senior year, Dufresne scored 18 goals and assisted on 33 others during his teams 20 game season. Dufresne was drafted in the 2nd round, by the Kitchener Rangers of the Ontario Hockey League, but Nik declined the opportunity to play for them and instead attended the private school in Halifax. Rumors are that Dufresne demanded a trade to his hometown Oshawa Generals, but the Rangers management refused to budge on their stance.

    "You know, I don't really want to get into the specifics of why I didn't play for Kitchener. I'll tell you that I'm very happy with the decision I ended up making. I had a great time in Halifax and I received a great education. It would have been nice to play hockey at a higher level, but that wasn't my primary concern." Says Dufresne,
     
    There was a lot of talk that Nik could join the PHL. The PHL was ultimately the direction that his older brother chose to go in, but Nik again decided to follow his own personal goals and made another surprising decision.
     
    "It was an easy choice for me. The VHL is a premier hockey league and I feel that I can become an impact player here. I hope that a team sees enough potential in me to give me a shot. I look forward to developing my game in the VHLM before I eventually try out my game at the very pinnacle of hockey, the VHL."
