Deschamps on pace for record(?) worst season Seattle, Wash. -- With a mere one assist through 22 games, fans in Seattle are curious if rookie center Maxime Deschamps will ever find the back of the net. If the first sample size is any indication, he may very well not. Playing on the team's fourth line, Deschamps has managed only 13 shots on goal thus far - a very concerning number. Perhaps even more concerning is the fact that linemate Jace Hines has also managed only a single point to his name - albeit a goal - making the team's fourth line essentially all but anemic when it comes to creating offense. That said, the team doesn't seem overly concerned as Deschamps just signed a five-year contract extension with the team that will be poised to see him play out his entire VHL career in the Pacific Northwest. While fans may find the move curious, locking the French-born center up to a very team friendly cap hit could prove to be a bargain in the long run. But for what Deschamps is paid to do as a defensive role player, surely fans wouldn't be adverse to seeing him score at least once.

Deschamps taken out by trip to Mongolian Grill Bern, Switzerland -- Brampton centre Maxime Deschamps is expected to be a game-time decision in the team's upcoming game against the Bern Royals as a result of food poisoning suffered from a trip to the Mongolian Grill prior to the team's departure overseas. The 20-year-old confirmed reports that getting seafood in your stir-fry from the popular Japanese buffet-style restaurant is always a poor decision and not one you should consider anytime soon. "People told me to be wary of the seafood but I decided to get some anyways. Obviously it wasn't the right play because I've been seeing what it looks like coming out the other direction," Deschamps said. After being bed-ridden on Sunday, Deschamps did make the flight with the team but is expected to take a wait-and-see approach ahead of tomorrow night's game. "I'm hoping to be in the lineup, that's the plan right now. I'll eat some normal food before now and then and hopefully things settle accordingly."

how rude! - Deschamps

Deschamps encouraged to stop hurting VHLM players, says 'F U' Brampton, Ont. -- In the wake of several serious injuries inflicted on opposing players this season, Brampton Blades forward Maxime Deschamps has been politely asked by the league to stop injuring fellow players. Despite the politeness of the letter, seeing that it was penned by none other than former (?) VHL Commissioner JARDY, Deschamps politely responded by telling the washed up executive to **** off. In his victory lap season with the Blades, Deschamps has become a physical force in the league, racking up a league-best 218 hits in only 51 games played. The fun doesn't end there, either, as Deschamps also leads the league with 103 minutes in penalties earned despite only five major penalties during the season. Where does it stem from? Well you see Deschamps is far from a talent with the puck, and while his 49 points in 51 games might sound respectable, make no mistake that Deschamps' impact on the game has little to do with the offensive side of the game. As the league moves into the stretch drive of the regular season, lord only knows how many innocent VHLM players will feel the wrath of this French beast.

Deschamps prioritizing off-ice training Brampton, Ont. -- Off-ice training is a bit of a foreign concept for French-born centre Maxime Deschamps, but if the team's coaching staff have their way, that's all about to change very quickly. "He has to get better off the ice," a comment echoed by the team's coach. "Maxime is 195 lbs. right now but he's just not strong enough at his current weight. We really believe that if he can bolster himself in that area it will have a major impact on who he is as a player." And so begins the work. Deschamps has already increased his off-ice training regiment significantly and is seeing some improved results in the early-going. "The team is pushing me very hard to be a stronger player on the ice. They love the way I compete and the two-way element I bring, but they tell me that if I want to play at the next level, I need to get stronger," Deschamps said. "Obviously the VHL is where I want to be so I'm really focusing on improving in this area. It's really just about how hard you're willing to work. If you put the work in, good things will come from it." The early returns are encouraging, however, there's no doubting the fact that Deschamps has a long way to go just yet. In his second full season with Brampton, team officials in Seattle would have hoped to see him in the VHL by now, but the waiting game is one that requires patience. "I think I'm getting close (to the VHL)," Deschamps said. "I want them to see that I'm willing to do what it takes."

thank you for scoring, PETER.

Deschamps shaken by tragedy back home Brampton, Ont. -- In the midst of a mediocre season thus far, hockey seems to be far from the front of mind for Maxime Deschamps right now in the wake of a slew of terrorist attacks on the French capital of Paris. Deschamps, a 20-year-old centre currently plying his trade in the VHLM, hails from the northern French city of Amiens - located less than two hours from the site of the deadly attacks. Deschamps, who has no shortage of family and friends in the capital city says it's certainly something that puts some perspective into your life. "In hockey it's such a day-to-day grind and for something like this to happen, you really take a step back and re-evaluate the bigger picture," Deschamps said. "While I didn't lose anyone I personally knew in the attacks, it still resonates with me that my country was attacked in such a manner. It definitely gives me an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach to know what's going on in the region. It's very sad, indeed." Officials in Brampton have said they offered Deschamps an opportunity to return home on leave, an offer that was ultimately turned down by Deschamps who has elected to stay in the Toronto suburb with the team. "It was very gracious of them to extend that offer to me as it's something I did initially ponder. After giving it some thought and speaking with my family, I feel like it's best for me to stay with the team and continue to contribute however I can," Deschamps said. "It's definitely given me some additional purpose over here as I continue my journey in professional hockey." Through 24 games played, Deschamps has registered seven goals and 16 points while churning in a disappointing -13 rating.

A&W Bear Chronicles: Seattle A&W locations switch to Hines ketchup VHL.com Newswire A&W, SEATTLE, WASH. -- Jace Hines is good at hockey. How good you might ask? GOOD ENOUGH TO GET EVERY A&W LOCATION IN SEATTLE TO SWITCH TO HINES KETCHUP BEFORE HE'S EVEN STEPPED ONTO A VHL ICE SURFACE. Yes, we needed all caps to articulate just how impressive this feat is. The American hero has a team-high 25 goals with Moscow this season and with Seattle fans patiently awaiting his arrival, A&W locations have jumped the line by replacing that crappy Heinz ketchup with delicious and savory Hines ketchup, named solely in honour of the team's future star winger. You won't find this crap at an A&W in Seattle anytime soon. To his credit, Hines (the human, not his ketchup line) is taking the announcement in stride. "It's really an honour to see the city of Seattle already embrace me like this despite playing overseas in Russia," Hines said. "Honestly, it just drives me that much more to get to the next level. I can't wait." Sure, Jace. We know this is the greatest thing to ever happen to you, even if you want to pretend to the contrary. Until next time, keep your fries greasy and your burgers hot.
