AJ Williams wooohooooo

[AJW 2,156]

AJ Williams is cruising through his rookie season in the VHL. Williams currently sits with 20 goals and 26 assists, totaling 46 points in 52 games. He's been putting up about 5 shots a game and averages just under a goal every two games. Williams holds third place in points for rookies and a ROTY award is not in sight but the bigger picture is to get his team to the playoffs. Los Angeles is 6th in the North American Conference, one points behind the New York Americans. 

 

An interview earlier today from Williams about the Los Angeles Stars:

 

Interviewer: Does Los Angeles have a chance to make the playoffs after a deep run in S79?

 

Williams: Yes most definitely. Our squad is still a competitive group even after losing our number one defenceman Jeffrey Pines. We still have great leaders in Stamen, Gucci, Merrick, Dimmadome between the pipes, and Dydrahl stepping up to hold our blue line.

 

Interviewer: Has you joining the Stars this season been a result in the team's struggle?

 

Williams: I hope not, and I wouldn't say we're struggling. I feel as if I am holding my own and helping my team whenever we leave the ice with a win. I have been putting up good points and keep myself disciplined to stay out of the box. 

 

Interviewer: What does Los Angeles need to do to find themselves a playoff spot?

 

Williams: Just play our game. I know the talent we have and the chemistry we carry in the locker room. I would be shocked if our off-season came earlier than we expect.
