RJ Jubis Biography 
                                                                                 
EARLY LIFE                                       
RJ Jubis was born in Yarmouth, Nova-Scotia, Canada. A small town with a population of just over 6,000 people. He was first pushed into the sport of hockey by his father. They skated on their shallow pond behind their house every winter. Even at a very early age he dreamed of playing hockey for a living. Like many kids RJ would imitate hockey stars he had seen on tv. He stepped onto the ice at the young age of 5. The location was University Sainte Anne's hockey arena in Church point, Nova-Scotia. Mixed with the 19 other skaters RJ Jubis did not stand out. Considered a late bloomer, things stayed this way for a long time. As he got older he failed to make the Atom and Peewee Rep teams for four straight years.  This did not stop Jubis from practicing his shot for hours a day in the garage of his family home. He would shoot with a shooter tutor covering the net. RJ would not stop practicing until he scored 10 in a row. 


TEENAGE YEARS
Fast forward through many road trips, old icy cold arenas and Tim Horton's pit stops. Tournaments where you may play 5 games in 2 days. On road trips the team would gather in hotel hallways to play mini stick hockey. These were Jubis's greatest memories at the time. 
Now in his final Bantam year at age 14. RJ Jubis will begin to have his breakout year. He was playing in SEDMHA, an international minor hockey tournament played in Halifax, Nova-Scotia. He scored an outstanding 23 goals and had 6 assists in 6 games played. Leading his team to an Odyssey Championship with a 6-0-0 record. After winning the championship he was then contacted shortly after by the South shore Mustangs. The Mustangs had high hopes of him joining their team. They play in the Nova Scotia Major Midget Hockey League or NSMMHL. The same league that has rostered the likes of NHL superstars Sidney Crosby and Brad Marchand. RJ Jubis played two outstanding years for the Mustangs. He was able to play in 141 games and scored 186 goals ,112 assists for 298 points. 

 
JUNIORS
He was then drafted by the Halifax Mooseheads of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League or QMJHL. His first season with the mooseheads was in 2017-2018. He struggled to find his speed and seemed to be a step slower then his opponents. He dressed for 56 games in his rookie season mostly on the 2nd line and scored 27 goals and had 14 assists for 41 points. With his hockey future in the balance he knew he needed a change. The following summer he immediately changed up his off season routine. He stopped attending summer Bbq's and parties with his friends. RJ began training daily. He wanted to lean out and add a lot of muscle to his frame. Once out of shape at 205 Lbs RJ Jubis was determined to put in the work. By the end of summer 2018 he was now walking around at a much stronger faster weight of 215 Lbs. He entered the Mooseheads training camp a man on a mission. He earned a spot on the top line out of training camp and never looked back. The 2018-2019 season was his best yet. He played in 65 games and scored 69 goals. This was just 2 goals shy of the Mooseheads record of 71 goals held by Ladislav Nagy back in 1998. The Mooseheads were lucky enough to host the Memorial cup that year. RJ Jubis was not able to finish the season on a high note tho as Halifax lost in the final to Rouyn-Noranda. 

 
THE INJURY
RJ Jubis was 40 games into what looked like his career year with the Mooseheads.  He had scored 46 goals and was gunning for the all time goals in a single season record. Then the injury happened. The Mooseheads were on the road against the Charlottetown Islanders. Down 3-2 in the 3rd period with 12 mins left. The  Mooseheads were on the powerplay. Jubis the big body was playing the front net position. They cycled the puck around for the 1st minute. Then Jake Ryczek has an open lane and takes a bomb of a slapshot. The shot hits Jubis directly in the face and he collapses to the ice. The medical staff rushes to the ice. Immediately it is evident that the puck hit Jubis in the eye. The crowd was standing and the arena was silent. RJ Jubis just was not moving with a pool of blood next to him. It took a few minutes for RJ to gain the strength to get up and on to his feet. He was then rushed to the nearby hospital in Charlottetown. Emergency surgery was required to repair a damaged retina. Jubis had a lengthy recovery ahead of him. He missed the remainder of the season. This injury had Pro Scouts beginning to look the other way. It took 5 long months but RJ Jubis fully recovered. He gained his vision back in his injured eye. Even though he was fully recovered no pro team wanted to touch him. Jubis once a projected top 10 1st round pick became an undrafted one.
 
THE VHLM
Jubis knew after going undrafted that his only way to the pros was through the minor leagues. He started reaching out to teams in the VHLM. The Saskatoon Wild were immediately interested. They signed the 6'4" free agent to a one year deal sight unseen. Jubis was ecstatic because the Wild were willing to take a chance on him. He started the season with something to prove. He was willing to do whatever it took to get potentially drafted by a VHL team. The hockey gods had other plans in mind as nothing seemed to go Jubis's way. Halfway into the season Jubis had scored only 6 goals in 44 games played. The possibility of a VHL team wanting to draft him was growing thin. He was a late round pick at best. That is if he even got drafted at all. Saskatoon coaching staff decided to get Jubis to centre the first line. Playing alongside star forward Ondrej Ohdraka jump started Jubis's season. Jubis scored 23 goals through the final 28 games. This propelled him up the draft rankings and essentially took him from zero to hero. 

 
VHL DRAFT
As the VHL draft approached it was easily visible that no player in this seasons draft had climbed the rankings as fast as Jubis. Jubis was now projected to be drafted anywhere from 7th-15th pick in the 1st round. Out of nowhere Jubis was off the board early. The Calgary Wranglers selected him with their 5th overall pick. RJ Jubis was beyond excited. Getting to start the season for a wonderful organization like Calgary. The Wranglers showed Jubis that they truly had faith in him by selecting him so early. Jubis has realized his dream and has become a true professional hockey player. RJ Jubis is expected to have a long a prosperous career for Calgary. Some hockey insiders think he might just be a few seasons away from cracking the Wranglers 1st line. Only time will tell where this story goes. 

                                                    

Saskatoon Wild Yearly Review and Team Awards
 

 
While Season 68 was a bitter disappointment for the rebuilding Saskatoon Wild, it was to be expecting after much wheeling and dealing the last few seasons to obtain blue-chip prospects and high draft picks. While the scoresheet most nights didn’t convey their competitiveness, the Wild actually filled the net on a regular basis resulting in the 5th-highest Goals For total in the league with 226. Their demise, which saw them allow a dismal 299 goals, the second-most in the league to only the Ottawa Lynx, rested solely on the shoulders of poor team defense and porous goaltending, both of which are high on GM @Peace’s list to rectify for the upcoming season. It is no secret that he wants his team to make the playoffs next year and he will use every trick up his trading sleeves to see his goal accomplished. To be fair, it will be a tall order to go from a 21-win season to playoff hopefuls. There is a lot to be excited about, though, on this Wild team and its stars were celebrated during the off-season in a lavish ceremony in an undisclosed location far from the frigid temperatures of Saskatoon.
 
Here are the Saskatoon Wild S68 Team Awards winners:
 
Most Valuable Player: LW Ondrej Ohradka (Slovakia) @animal74
 

 
What a year it was for the slick Slovak, also known as “OO7”. He has more tricks in his arsenal than the more famous British spy with the same nickname and they were all on display every night during a spectacular season for the 2nd year left winger which saw him hit 50 goals and 104 points to lead the Wild and sit 5th in league scoring. After showing glimpses of his talent in S67 after he was traded from Minnesota, Ohradka became only the 11th player in Wild history to reach 50 goals and his 104 points were the highest single season total by a Saskatoon player since Bryce Zhields and Josh Stronk scored 149 and 111 respectively in S60. Assuming he doesn’t get called up by his VHL club, the Calgary Wranglers, it’s possible Ohradka could become the first Wild player to reach two 50-goal seasons.
 
How valuable was Ohradka? He led the next leading scorer on the Wild, Julian Blackthorn, @LattimoreIsland by a whopping 33 points - the largest margin in the league between team’s top two scorers. He also led the team in game-winning goals with 5, power play goals (15, T-4th in the league), shots (356, 5th in the league), was second in plus/minus and hits, and led Wild forwards with 37 blocked shots.
 
Best Defenseman: D David O’Quinn (Canada) @JohnOQuinn
 

 
After a slow start, skilled defenseman David O’Quinn earned the respect of his coaches and teammates in S68 with a solid performance that showcased his deft passing ability and ever-present truculence. His combination of size, skill, and toughness is rare and he protects the front of his net and sticks up for his teammates with the same ferociousness as when he quarterbacks the power play.
 
O’Quinn led the Wild with 63 assists which was also 5th among VHLM defensemen and 9th in the league. He also led Saskatoon in blocked shots (123, T-4th in the league), penalty minutes (130, T-3rd in the league), and hits (167). While his defense game continues to develop, O’Quinn has proved that he is a blueliner on the rise and the VHLM won’t be able to hold him for long. Saskatoon fans can expect another dominant season from David O’Quinn in S69.
 
Unsung Hero: LW RJ Jubis (Canada) @R Jubis
 

 
For much of his early career, hulking winger RJ Jubis showed flashes of elite talent but still managed to fly under the radar as he worked his way up the ranks of minor hockey in Nova Scotia. Never one afraid of hard work, Jubis continued to work at his craft and slowly that hard work started to pay off in spite of periods of inconsistency. Everything started to come together during his first VHLM season with the Saskatoon Wild. He also started slowly as he was put in some unfamiliar positions in the lineup and got adjusted to the speed of the VHLM. That adjustment period didn’t last long as Jubis soon started showing the skills and work ethic that brought him this far. 
 
He ended his first campaign with 29 goals - good for 3rd on the team - and finished 4th in Wild scoring with a solid 62 points. He was also one of four Wild players with a plus rating and contributed 5 power play goals and 4 game-winners while developing a burgeoning two-way game that became more relied upon as the season wore on. VHLM goalies learned to fear his shot and he will continue to wreak havoc on the league’s netminders as his stock is only going up.
 
Wild Man Award: LW RJ Jubis (Canada) @R Jubis
 
It definitely shows why the Saskatoon Wild are so optimistic about the future when four different players were voted by their teammates for the inaugural Wild Man award. This award is given to the Wild player that displays leadership, sportsmanship, excellent work ethic, and is respected by teammates. And although many were mentioned on the ballot, the first ever Wild Man award goes to none other than this year’s Unsung Hero, RJ Jubis. 
 
It’s a known fact that Jubis brings 110% to the rink, every game and every practice - a sign of a great leader. He is a positive influence on the ice and in the locker room and is well-liked by teammates, management, and fans. Jubis has shown a penchant for giving back to the community and has never missed a team event in Saskatoon. He endeared himself further to Wild fans by starting “Jubby’s Jents”, a weekly content that awards pairs of Wild tickets to young local athletes who show tremendous character and help the community. He has also given back to his hometown, Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, by starting his own hockey camp in the summer and donating new equipment to many area schools to help promote active living and the game of hockey. Truly, RJ Jubis exemplifies what it means to be a “Wild Man”. 
 
Congratulations to all the winners!

As the first round is nearly halfway over, O'Quinn's colleague and teammate, RJ Jubis, jumped from a projected 9oa to 5oa, to the Calgary Wranglers. O'Quinn tweeted the following:
 

He is the first Saskatoon player, and second Canadian player to be drafted in the first round. The next projection for a Saskatoon player is David O'Quinn, a Saskatoon defenseman, to go late during the first round or early in the second. The first round has been interesting so far, with highly touted Danish skater Soren Jensen falling to 4th, where he was projected to go #1 or #2, meanwhile guy Sasakamoose rose, up to #3, going to Riga, along with Guy Lesieur at #6. The draft has temporarily paused, however, as trades have apparently happened. More to come.

ISSUE WITH CAREER POINT TASKS
 
Ok so my issue is with the "Junior review" and "Prospect Scouting Report" career tasks. A month ago I read through the guidelines for the junior review. Completed it and tried to claim the task but it was rejected. I was told it was for s70 players and newer. I am a 1st gen s69 player. I was frustrated but figured I could save some of my work for my biography someday. 
 
Fastforward to this week and I am now fully addicted to earning TPE. I am always trying to find more ways to gain. So I decided to do the Prospect Scouting Report career task. I read the guidelines which stated: " to be completed during your VHL draft season or the season following that". I think great this fits my players timeline perfectly. Nowhere does it say the task is only for s70 players or newer. So of course again my claim is rejected. I put a lot of effort into it with each and every Pro and Con had a relatable picture attached. Luckily this time I was persuaded to use it for my media spot this week. I would like to do the Rookie Experience  task when the time comes but I am afraid the guidelines are unclear. It would somehow  end up being for s70 and newer players once again. 
 
I recommend as a solution just simply update the guidelines. Any career tasks that are just for S70 players or newer just say so in the guidelines. This would save the next schmuck like me from doing tasks they can not claim. 
 

Prospect Scouting Report

RJ Jubis
HEIGHT: 6'4"
WEIGHT: 222LBS 
SHOOTS: LEFT 
POSITION: LW/C 
GAMES PLAYED: 72
GOALS: 29
ASSISTS: 33
POINTS: 62
 
RJ Jubis jumped onto scouts radars when he was signed by the Saskatoon Wild of the VHLM. He joined the team for the 68th season of the league's conception. The Wild finished in 10th place out of 11 teams. Winning only 21 games out of the 72 game season. 
 
OFFENSE: GRADE B+
Jubis could not have started his VHLM rookie season any slower. At 44 games into the season he had scored only 6 goals and was a -13. Jubis was holding a 2nd line spot at the time. He was being heavily outscored by his linemates on the 3rd line. Rumours were that he would be dropped to the 3rd or 4th line. Before any of that could happen Jubis started scoring and scoring some more. He had earned himself a spot on the 1st line and was playing top minutes with time on the powerplay. Jubis scored 23 goals through the final 28 games of the season. Jubis has proved that he can be a threat from anywhere on the ice. Known for his quik release Jubis also has power to his shots. He scored his 21st goal of the season from a center ice slap shot that surprised the goalie. Some analysts project Jubis to finish in the 60 goal 100 points range next season. I feel this is a tad optimistic but it is a possibility.
 
DEFENSE: GRADE B
Jubis not originally known for his defensive side of the game. Has established himself as a great two-way forward. The Wild finished the season with a whopping 299 goals against. That was good for 4.15 goals against per game. This is probably the biggest contributor to why Saskatoon was only able to win 21 games. Jubis through his own worst slump had fell to a -26 halfway through the season. He was able to turn his season around finishing the year a +4. The Wild struggled defensively finishing  the year with a goal differential of -73. Jubis got praise from his coaches for never giving up on a play. His willingness to back check and play proper positioning away from the puck sets him apart from other comparable prospects. 
 
It is unknown in what city RJ Jubis will be lacing up his skates next season. He has stated that he really enjoyed his time in Saskatoon in previous press conferences. Whether returning to northern Canada next season would be an option is still unclear. A revamped Saskatoon roster is beginning to look like a cup contender. Both the VHLM and VHL drafts have yet to take place. Jubis is now projected to go in the 1st round of the VHL draft and top 3 in VHLM  draft. Hockey insiders say Jubis will not be ready to make the jump to the VHL next season. He will report to his VHLM team. One more season with solid growth could help him solidify a full time spot in the VHL the following season. 
 

Text looks cool with the background, also like what you did with the outline. Curious to see it would look like if you centered the player and rotate him a bit more vertically. Overall it looks pretty clean.

So no one has to go searching Claiming is under Uncapped > Fantasy and Type is Trivia Payout (End of Season). Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

In agreement with Jubis that the curremt system needs to be way clearer. The problem actually stems further than S69 rookies as some have stated though as I've had players from the S70 class try to claim some of the tasks that are only available to S69 and earlier players and would not surprised if that continued to be the case down the line with the way it's currently formatted. I think @R Jubis is correct in that the guidelines need more info, but I personally don't think there's anything wrong with laying the career point task forum out like this as well to make it 100% clear off the bat which ones each class can/can't do:
 

Far from that. You were always extremely helpful as a GM. I  could have always asked if I was unsure if I was able to do the tasks. In the end it all worked out ?

The amount of layers and attention to detail that has been put into this is out of this world! Great work! This on another level vs other player cards.
