Kimura's first off-season

[FBR 158]

The Wild's season has come to an end after being swept in the first round of the VHLM playoffs and Arthur Kimura, the young Japanese winger is now entering his first off-season. He will be eligible to be drafted in the S79 VHLM Dispersal Draft, which means that the chances to leave Saskatoon are higher than his chances to stay.

Arthur's first 18 games in the VHLM left a lot to be desired and he's hoping that the GMs won't look at his lack of scoring as a sign of weakness, a sign that he can't make it in the VHL or even the VHLM alone.

Arthur Kimura already flew back to his native Japan where he finally saw his family for the first time in over a year. He took a break from the hockey world to spend time with his family. After being distracted with personal things in his life, Arthur forgot to train and get better during this week, but he's trying to knock a lot of the work he missed this week on this late night to then, start working on getting better starting next week.
