Robert Wilk looks back on his time in the VHLE

 

The young Polish player was extremely excited graduating from the VHLM. His role on the San Diego Marlins was that of Captain in more than name. On that team he was tasked with taking over the offense completely – he spent the entirety of his VHLM season fighting for the top spot of the scoring leaderboards. When he was drafted to the Rome Gladiators of the VHLE he was beyond excited. Being a solid pick in that draft he was hopeful to take on a reasonably high role on the squad. He knew of course that he would no longer be in the M, where a player of his caliber could call himself a star, but he had hoped to still be one of the team’s main scorers.

 

Unfortunately things turned out quite differently in reality. Robert Wilk kept on struggling throughout the season, barely scoring any goals at all. The team didn’t trust him with taking charge of the offense at all – which was obviously understandable with how he was playing. Being relegated to second and third string in the lineup definitely did no good for the young bucks confidence. Wilk got around 15 minutes a game throughout the season and never made any real strides to get better than he was at the beginning. Word around the league was the player stopped practicing as hard as he used to after his rough start, which certainly did him no favors at all, especially considering his playtime.

 

Around the playoffs the team seemed to change their minds considering Robert. He was given more time on the ice and closer to what his touches used to be in the M. Robert did quite well for himself during the playoffs, securing a nice amount of goals. What’s more important than that, he played an instrumental part in helping take the Rome Gladiators to the VHLE Playoff Finals. It would unfortunately end up being a loss in that ultimate challenge, with the Gladiators falling in four games flat.

 

Robert Wilk however is now looking ahead to the future. With his confidence relit after the responsibility he was given in the Playoffs, Wilk got excited once again about taking the ice. With talk with the Warsaw Predators from the VHL getting back on track Robert started working out hard and taking the ice on his off time practicing. Warsaw Management has been very clear about looking forward to seeing him make his way up to the VHL and that was an amazing boost to his failing confidence.

 

And so it comes to now, when the young polish right wing is doing his damn hardest to make it. Getting his skills in place and his form ready to go for the top level’s of the VHL is no easy task. Fortunately with support from the Warsaw Predator’s coaching staff and support crew it is very clear he is going to make it. Let’s all look forward to how Wilk will do in the big  leagues!

Nice look to your time in VHLE. I like how you turned it around. You got pushed down the lineup, but you managed to fight back to a bigger role and you even managed to score some goals in the playoffs. That is good stuff and shows Wilk might be in for a positive time in VHL! Scorers are always needed. The article is easy to read. There is a clear structure. Each paragraph focuses on a different point, which is also nice. A picture of some kind at the top could be a nice addition, but otherwise, I can't come up with any suggestions on what to improve.
