Each time a GM positioning comes up I apply in hopes of claiming one of the most coveted positions in the VHL. There is always a question that runs through my mind and that is “What if I actually got the job?” I would then suddenly be moving on from a team that I helped assemble in Yukon. A team I have built a great relationship with from top to bottom. “What if I ended up facing off against them during the season or in a playoff round?” How would I feel? I would feel a sense of accomplishment. I would feel that somehow the work I put in really mattered. There would for a split second be this thought of “would I really be upset if these guys beat me?” Of course they were a big part of my journey too. But then that second would pass and I would enjoy crushing them in a 7 game series and winning the title. What if?

I am applying for this opportunity. I feel I am more than qualified for this position. Ive been an AGM with the Yukon Rush for 1.5 seasons now with lots of responsibilities. I’ve been involved in making trades, creating lines, drafting players, signing waivers and player retention. The experience I have from Yukon has prepared me for this job. Next I have been the GM of Team Europe where I gained experience in both assembling a team and creating lines. This was really good experience because I also had to keep players engaged in the LR. I have also stepped in on occasion to assist the Calgary Wranglers create lines so that we could get the seasons started. Thanks for considering my application! Goodluck to all the other applicants.

Player Name: Kay Rice Claim Who will lead the league in goals scored by next Sunday? Mcdavid

Review: I love this graphic. Green is my favourite colour and the usage of the color in this graphic really makes it pop. The logo swap on the helmet is flawless. The jersey swap is almost as flawless. My only critique is that you have a signature way of creating graphics, don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone to take it to that next level! Rating 7.5/10

Review: Very well laid out and excellent use of photos. I like how you purely went to keeping this ranking based on stats rather than opinion. This keeps it at unbiased as possible even though the two top guys are Calgary players :P. It would be interesting to see one of these based on points rather than TPE at the end of the season.

The Yukon Rush have played 13 games so far this season. They currently hold a record of 7-5-1 putting them 6th in the VHLM standings. The team has been hot and cold to start the season as they try to build some chemistry with one another. The bright spot on this team so far has to be the defensive core they have put together. Three of Yukon's defensemen are in the top 4 for defensemen scoring in the VHLM but which defensemen has been the most valuable for their team so far in the early season. I will take a minute to breakdown the four candidates and let you decide whos been the most valuable defender for the Rush. Zyrok Zyrok started off slow but has recently jumped into a tie with Ray Sheilds for the points lead on the Rush roster. He is currently 2nd in defensemen scoring with 22 points in 13 games. In those 22 points he has 3 goals and a whopping 19 assists. He has clearly shown that he is a puck moving defensemen as he has been the key playmaker on this team so far this season. His defensive numbers are just as impressive as he currently has a +7 rating and 22 shots blocked. He strays away from the physical side of the game and that is okay but where he needs to improve is his shot. He has one of the lower shooting percentages on the team with a 9.68 % shooting percentage. If his play as of late is any indication of how Zyrok is going to play the rest of the season then the Yukon are in for a real treat. Alex Armstrong Alex Armstrong has been Zyroks partner all season long so far. The two have proven to be a force out their together on the ice. Armstrongs currently sitting at 19 points which is third on the Rush in points and third among defenseman scoring in the VHLM. He has 6 goals and 13 assists and an impressive shooting percentage of 13.33%. He isn't afraid to shoot the puck and has done so very efficiently this season. I would say his defensive play has been better than Zyroks as he currently sits at a +11 plus/minus and 17 blocked shots of his own. Alex has only gotten better as the season has progressed and with him and Zyrok playing together this has to be one of the top pairings in the VHLM. Bo Burrows Next up we have the GOAT - Bo Burrows, this player has also been a force for the Rush this season. He came out of the gates hot and has remained consistent so fair this season. He came out so hot that he was pushing to take a spot on the top line. Burrows sits only 1 points behind Armstrong and is 4th in defensemen scoring in the VHLM. He has 5 goals and 13 assists but has a higher shooting percentage than both Zyrok and Armstrong with at 14.29%. He isn't shy about playing the physical game either as he currently is second on the team with 45 hits behind only Ray Sheilds. Where Burrows needs work however is on the defensive end of the ice. He currently sits at a plus/minus of -7 which is tied for the worst among defensemen on the team. He isn't afraid however to put his body on the line as he has blocked 20 shots as well. I am excited about what Burrows is bringing to this team and he could very well push for a spot on the top line if he continues to progress this season. After all he is the GOAT. Joe Jacks Lastly I wanted to talk about Joe Jacks. He is an new up and comer in this league and probably hasn't been the best defensemen for the Rush but that is okay. He is only going to get better as the season rolls on but lets take a dive into his season thus far anyways. He only has 5 points in 13 games and all five points have been assists. He has a 0% shooting percentage and needs some work in his defensive zone as he is tied with Burrows at a -7 plus/minus rating. He is tied among the Rush defensemen with 20 blocked shots but does shy away from the physical play as he only has 14 hits so far this season. Playing along side Burrows is only going to make Jacks a better player and this defensive core is sure to show him the way to becoming an elite defender in another season for the Rush. Well there you have it, the Rush Defense have been spectacular so far this season. Its hard to say exactly which defender has been the Rush's MVP so far this season because they have all played so well. Can either of them break away from the pack and become to the true number 1 defender on this team or will they all continue to push each other all season long and become one of the best defensive cores the VHLM has ever seen. I am interested to hear about who you think is currently the best Rush defensemen in the comments below! In a couple weeks I am going to break down the forwards and the season they have had at that point. I will highlight the success stories as well as the disappointments to that point in the season. There is a lot of good info to be unpacked there and I am hoping at that point some of our forwards have broken out of their shell and start contributing on a regular basis for the Rush. At some point would also like to include an article about the Rush's starting goalie Nicolas Fomba as well and touch on the VHLM career he's had to this point and whether or not he can get the job done for the Yukon Rush this season. Thanks again for tuning in I hope this was and insightful read. word count: 1011

Review: Grammatically you do a really nice job putting together media spots. I was worried at the beginning that this post wasn’t going to e about Gino but you pulled out clutch in the end and made it about him as I would have expected! I have no doubt Gino is going to be elite very soon, there is a lot of new players on that roster who are learning to play together and build that chemistry. Rating: 8/10
