Ziggy Dupree

I've been very satisfied with my performance so far. Almost a point-per-game pace through the first 20 games. That's my goal for the year, is to be at PPG pace.
Brett Slobodzian was a hero growing up. He was the first winger that caught my eye and made me want to play the position.
The feel of playing with your teammates. It's what takes the longest actually, but when you know what your teammates will do before they do it, your team can be truly deadly. 
The Rook and Raven is a Saskatoon staple. Great selection and puts me in a great mind space going to the arena.
Japan would be a dream. Looks very beautiful and peaceful in the country.
Gatorade all day
 

Well done! I love stuff like this

I was super pumped to don the hallowed Saskatoon Wild Jersey and have an opportunity prove myself in the minor leagues. I want to keep it going and hopefully see more W's coming our way in the near future.
It looks like we've been getting the shots on net, but we need to work on getting better scoring opportunities and getting more of those pucks in the net. Getting better in our end is also a top priority as we have the league's worst goal differential.
I think we will duke it out all season with Mexico City. We are only 2 points back in the standings and with the shots we've been getting coupled with their 27 goals allowed on the season, we will be in for some great games.
Watching the early 2000's Detroit Red Wings teams loaded with HOF players and studying how they played with flair and poise was a revelation. I'm still waiting for Sergei Fedorov to take me up on the invite to my 5th birthday party...
I've got to go with the Calgary Wranglers or London United. I love London's nod to its football history and the iconic crests of EFL.
Pancakes, maple syrup, sausage, poached eggs, toast. Boom.
 

1. It was a long plane ride to finally arrive in Saskatoon but I find the city charming. Quite a bit larger than my last stop in USHL's Muskegon, MI. Can't wait to explore more and find my footing in a new place.
 
2. I expect some growing pains my first year in a new league, but I think I'll be able to make the adjustment and hopefully make the fans cheer for their hometown Wild.
 
3. I'm looking forward to my first professional point in the VHLM. It will be a major milestone in my career!
 
4. I excel at playmaking on the offensive end and being a defensive stalwart on the back end. Killing penalties and getting apples, maybe banging in the occasional goal.
 
5. As much as I hate to say it, I think the Bruins are going to take it with their bulletproof start. I think the Devils will hang in there but fade later in the year due to a little inexperience.
 
6. I have to say the Lemon Ice Cream at Tyler's down in Florida. Shout out to Tyler!

Hi to all and I'm excited to get going. A lot of stuff to learn but I love the idea of working my way up the ranks and into the league lol. Probably a little masochistic but I love the idea of being a part of a big community of like-minded hockey fans! 

Name: Zigmund "Ziggy" Dupree
Position: Left Wing
Height: 72 inches
Weight: 190 lbs
Hails From: Muskegon, MI
Preferred Number: 88
 
Player Bio:
Born and raised on the west coast of Michigan in the city of Muskegon (population about 38,000). His love of the game came from watching the early 2000's Detroit Red Wings and their runs to the Stanley Cup finals and multiple championship wins. Even though he wasn't the biggest of kids, he idolized the play of Eric Lindros of the Philadelphia Flyers. He developed his style trying to emulate the combination of size, strength, and scoring touch. Unfortunately, he did not get dealt the same genetic hand of cards and currently stands at 6 feet tall and a sold, but not necessarily impressive, 190 lbs. After progressing through the house leagues in earlier childhood, Ziggy advanced to the local Peewee and Midget team, the Muskegon Chiefs.
 
Not living up to the scoring standards of the elite players in his age, Ziggy was always one of the top playmakers in his age group. He learned to do all the "blue collar" parts of the game and to excel at them. This may involve digging pucks out of the corners, aggressive forechecking, killing penalties, playing the body, and getting the puck to the scorers on the team. After setting assist records in the WMHL in the 16-year-old age bracket Ziggy would be drafted in the 3rd round of the USHL Entry Draft by the, you guessed it, his hometown Muskegon Lumberjacks. After putting up 61 points in 62 games in his last season, Ziggy is ready to take the next step in his hockey career.
 
Hoping that a team in the VHLM will take a chance on him, he wants to climb the career ladder and make it to the show, the VHL. Ziggy plans to forego his NHL eligibility because of the international and grassroots aspects of the VHL. Ziggy would like to hopefully join the Saskatoon Wild for the upcoming season and develop as a player. It seems like they have fostered an environment of progress and player progression. A run at the VHLM cup would be ideal as a start to his professional career.
 
Playing Style:
Ziggy is a primarily a playmaker with a grittier side to his game. Playing responsible defense and starting the rush the other way is what he excels at the most. Everyone has a job to do on the ice and Ziggy likes being the straw that stirs the drink, the sparkplug, the catalyst, ect.
