[DollarAndADream 3,356]

Saku Kotkakoivu's first season in the VHL is finally done, and while he didn't blow anyone away, he put up good numbers. Saku scored 29 goals and put up 59 points in 72 games. He had a +15 with 82 hits, 26 shot blocks, and 4 powerplay goals. He has a long way to go before reaching any kind of elite status, but he is ready to work for it.

 

"I didn't know what to expect jumping up to the VHL from the VHLE. I won a championship with the Vasteras Iron Eagles in the VHLE, so that was a fun time. It definitely humbled me once I jumped to the big leagues, and was facing off against some of the best players in the world. I have a lot of work to do to get to where I want to be." - Saku Kotkakoivu

 

The Calgary Wranglers reached 3rd in the North American Conference, and will face off against the Seattle Bears. That should be a tough matchup. Saku Kotkakoivu will get his first taste of the VHL playoffs in his rookie season.

 

"It's definitely going to be a step up in competition once the playoffs start. This is where careers are made, and dreams are made come true. I believe in myself and my teammates that we are capable of winning it all. You cannot look ahead of Seattle though. - Saku Kotkakoivu
