Draft time for Kimura

[FBR 158]

KYOTO, JAPAN - Arthur Kimura's career is about to take on a new journey as he enters the VHLM Dispersal Draft for this upcoming 79th season. Previously signed to the Saskatoon Wild in the middle of S78, Japanese-born winger, Arthur Kimura has now left the team and could very well end up on another team as his North American hockey dream continues.
 

Rumours are at least three teams interviewed the small goal-scoring winger including the reigning Founder's Cup, Yukon Rush.After a disappointing showing in his first season with the WIld and an even worse showing in the playoffs, teams are understandably hesitant to risk a top two round draft pick on the young forward, but Kimura had this to say about the draft: "I'm confident that I can become a scoring force for a team aspiring to the Founder's Cup and continue to grow my game to become an important player in the VHL."
 

The VHLM Dispersal Draft is currently underway and after 22 picks, Arthur Kimura has yet to hear his name. We shall see where he ends up fairly soon.
