Booberry 'Just Excited' for VHLM Draft


Recommended Posts

Booberry Amped to Find VHLM Home

 

Ely, MN -- It’s been a bit of a road for Xavier Booberry. But now that we’re (presumably) less than a week away from the VHLM Draft, the Minnesota-born netminder says that he’s feeling more excitement than nerves at finding his first true professional home.

 

“This is the part of the process that’s fun, right? The anticipation, the interest, the speculation. Some people might get nervous at this part, but it’s all good vibes over here,” he explained.

 

Part of those good vibes might be because of his vigorous practice schedule thus far. Despite only playing one game in a stint for the Houston Bulls, Booberry’s practice schedule has vaulted him to second among VHLM Draft-eligible goalies, behind only the year-older Em Em Flex. While some teams will be returning goalies from last season, he’s confident that there are enough open slots that he’ll be the starter somewhere next season.

 

“Not every team will be looking at me, I know that. That’s the nature of being a goalie,” Booberry added. “But you have some teams out there like the [Mississauga] Hounds and the [Miami] Marauders that have three firsts and need a goalie. I think the board will break down for me just fine, even if I’m not the first pick or anything.”

 

Booberry reports that he hasn’t had many conversations with VHLM teams yet, but there’s still time before the draft occurs. And wherever he ends up, he has one goal: to win.

 

“Awards and all that are nice, but what I really want is that trophy,” Booberry said. “Houston gave me a taste of playoff success. But now I want it all.”
