Hounds prepare for Cup Run

[STZ 5,360]

Mississauga, ONT.

 

After running through the VHLM with a record of 62-10, the Mississauga Hounds prepare to start playoffs and their Founder's Cup Run. Lead in points by Gus Nasherov and Guy Lambert, they have Luke Spinelli in net, they are the clear-cut favorite to win the championship title. They have two top VHL Draft eligable players in Hard Markinson and Tynan Sylvester, Markinson who has been a dominant physical force on the back end. The Hounds have been dominant on both sides of the puck and come into the playoffs red hot. 

 

Mississauga lines up against the Houston Bulls, last year's dominant team. The season record favoured Mississauga; as they won the series 4-1. While this is what they are aiming for in the post-season match up, there is the little shimmer of doubt that could be in their mind's as Houston delivered one of only ten losses on the year. Reports caught to Markinson on the playoff series and the upcoming draft:

 

Interviewer: Are you prepared for the Houston Bulls in round one of the VHLM PLayoffs?

 

Hard Markinson: Yes. We have been preparing all season for this. This is what we play for, this is what we train for. This is cup or bust for us.

 

Interviewer: Have you been paying attention to the VHL season, and watching who missed playoffs, as you will likely be selected with one of the lottery picks?

 

Hard Markinson: I am completely focused on the Houston Bulls, and making sure I'm ready out of the gate. That is all that is on any of our minds in our locker room; we want to win.

 

The VHLM Playoffs start off on Monday, and all fans and scouts alike are ready and waiting!
