Nicholas Mariani - First Week Update

[Mistxh J 186]

With the first week of the season almost in the books let's take a quick look at the Prague Phantoms prospect and San Diego Marlins first line winger, Nicholas Mariani. Coming into the league after being drafted 32nd overall by the San Diego Marlins Nicholas Mariani was a pick that most would say was a risk and a reach, especially with all the talent that was still on the board. The week prior we saw Nicholas settling in to his new home in San Diego, getting comfortable with his new environment and teammates. In that last week of the off-season we also saw Nicholas put in a tremendous amount of work to get himself game ready for the Marlins and with all that hard work he put in we easily saw the return in the first week of the VHLM season. 

 

Nicholas has put 11 points in 11 games with 5 of those being goals and 6 as assists. Although it isn't as impressive as some of the young superstars in the league, averaging a point per game still proves to be a great feat and provides consistent production in that first line grouping. It seems as if he can only get better with time if he continues to put in this kind of effort and can hopefully lead to an great season for the young rookie. Soon enough we will get an idea if the kid is the real deal or not, but for now let us enjoy the show as Nicholas is proving all his doubters wrong.
