Jakub Brozik Rookie Experience

 

Drafted 18th overall by Davos back in S79, Jakub Brozik makes his long awaited VHL debut this season, and he did not disappoint. Putting up 20 goals and 48 assists for 68 points in 72 games, he sees his rookie season almost hit a point-per-game pace. This production saw Brozik finish 8th in rookie scoring, one of four Toronto Legion rookies to finish in the top 10. Brozik was placed on the second line for the majority of the season, while also seeing some power play action on the second line PP unit. Even after reaching an almost point-per-game pace, Brozik still finished the season with a -6 in the +/- category. Out of Brozik's 20 goals, 2 of them were game-winning-goals, and another 2 were power-play-goals. This performance from Brozik tops the performance of former Toronto Legion player Kristopher McDagg, as Brozik has more assists in his rookie season than McDagg did in any VHL season, as well as having more points than McDagg ever did.

 

During the S80 season, Brozik would put up 100 points in 72 VHLE games, while also putting up 32 goals and 68 assists. This production no doubt caught the attention of Toronto GM, Peace, resulting in Brozik being called up to the VHL the next season. There was much debate circling around in the media if Brozik would move to the VHL or hold out and play another season in the VHLE, and it appears that Brozik has made the right choice. The Toronto Legion made the playoffs and they are currently playing the Wolves in round 1, down 3-1. If Brozik and his team could mount the comeback, they would have good odds at taking it all home.

 

Brozik has stated that he has high expectations for himself. He plans on reaching 500 total points, with 300 assists in his VHL career. On top of that, he'd like to take home some awards, and win at least one cup during his time. Currently, Brozik has no intentions on leaving Toronto any time soon, he loves the team atmosphere and he has high hopes for what they can accomplish together. Brozik would one day like to see his name in the Toronto rafters, "but that is just a dream" he says.

 

Brozik has had a rocky path to the VHL, but it is started to gain stability and hopes for his career are at an all-time high. We'd certainly like to see what he can offer in the future.
