Good morning Philadelphia!

[Masu Chan 456]

    Good morning Philadelphia! I'd like to apologize in advance if I spell anything wrong or there's any errors with this. I am writing it on my phone. Hope you all had a great day. It hasn't been long since I first suited up in a Reaper's jersey but I gotta say, it feels pretty great. The city is nice, my teammates are fun and the management is good. I even got my jersey number, forty-three, so I'm excited. I often check my own player page just to see that little Reaper logo beside my name. 

     Going forty-fifth in the draft was a bit of a wake up call for sure. I had expected myself to be a higher pick. It just made me aware that I am behind a ton of players and that I need to step up my game. The only way people will only see me as a forty-fifth overall pick is if I don't improve. I want people to be like "That Mason guy shouldn't been at least a second round pick." and I hope it doesn't take long for those conversations to begin.

     It's easy to say the start of the season has been rough for the Reapers, we are going to be underdogs no doubt, but I urge other teams not to underestimate us. We have had a slow start, that goes without saying, but if you think of us as an easy win we'll make you pay. 

     In the junior showcase tournament I was the Captain of an underdog team, known as the Steel. We pushed through and during the playoffs we were almost unstoppable making it to the final two teams in the tournament.

     I don't think it was a coincidence the Reaper's drafted me. I think they saw how I performed in the more high pressure games and that I could handle the role of being a Captain. This isn't just purely speculation either, as I have been named co-captain in my first season as a Reaper. 

    Obviously I am aware that I am new to this league and I have a lot of tough competition.  I still have a lot to learn but I have faith it's only a matter of time till I prove myself as a steal in the draft. I believe that the steps I have taken thus far are great, I began this season in the VMHL with two goals and two assists in seven games. It's not amazing but it's a start. It's not all bad however, in these early games I have been made aware of some of my weaknesses and will dedicate some training to the areas that I've been struggling in. 

    To my teammates reading this, I want you to know that I believe in you. We will get through this rough patch, some of you are incredible goal scorers and I'll do my best to support each of you. If we each focus on the areas we struggle we will only get stronger with time. Keep your heads held high and prove yourself as a Reaper.

     To anyone else that reads this, thank you, and remember not to count us out just yet.

I'm convinced you'll probably be one of the biggest steals of the draft! Keep up the great work!
