News on Next STZ Player
Bratislava, Slovakia
One of the newer player agencies to get a more elite reputation seems to have their sights set on a 15 year old prospect out of Bratislava. It's an interesting coincidence because General Manager of the Bratislava Watchmen, Vince Wong is also the player agent for Helsinki Titans' captain Ethan Osborne. Osborne and Wong are both from Ontario, Canada, however work has obviously brought them to Europe where they have found permanent residence. The extreme travel has made it harder for GM Vince Wong to scout North American players, and with the rumors of Osborne being on the tail end of his career, the search for a new player to represent was on for the STZ Player Agency.
It just so happens that many people have reported that they have found their man. Well, it's a 15 year old kid who won't be entering VHL or VHLM eligibility for at least two seasons. It was rumored originally that Wong had signed a 16 year old out of the USA, but those rumors have been outed. Whether that affects the credibility of this one, is still to be seen. When asked about this new player, GM Wong had this to say, "Right now I'm focusing on Ethan and the Watchmen. Os still has three good years left in him, and we are still looking to get him signed to a contract for the next two seasons. The Watchmen are projected to hold the top three picks in the VHLM draft this year, so we have a lot of work to do to ensure we make the right moves to bring the cup back to Bratislava. Obviously, I've had my eye on a few players, but my plate is too full to take on another player at this time. I can't comment on a player we might be interested in".
The speculation is that his next player is coming out of Bratislava, and there is a lot of excitement due to this rumor. Although the kids name has not been released, there is a rumor with a lot of weight saying that this 15 year old phenom is a tall lanky goalie, who has been starting to turn heads in the development camps for HK Orange 20 in Bratislava, the U20 Slovak World Junior team.
