Gold, Draft and another Draft!

[Mr Bohannan 114]

The Junior Showcase Tournament could not have went better. Royals, the team that Matt was representing, ended up going all the way and becoming the gold medallists of the tournament and on top of that Matt ended up being the top point earner in the whole tournament. He was feeling good about himself and he knew that he showed himself from the best possible way he could. Now it was time to see how did it impact the both, VHL and VHLE drafts. The first was VHL draft and considering that that is the big league and he would not play in it for at least two seasons, he knew that he is not gonna be the first round pick, but he was hoping to go at a good pick. As per his wish he got drafted with the 33rd overall pick in VHL draft into London United. When it came to VHLE draft, a league where he could move up next season, things had a weird turn. Already 50 picks were made and still Matt did not hear his name. Players that felt like are way worse in what they offer and their on-ice skills, went before him, so it was a massive feeling of confusion, what's happening? Why VHLE GM's were not interested in him. 78th overall pick came and he finally heard his name being called. Not happy and not sad, just confused he promised he would rip the VHLE league and show what everyone slept on!
