Siyan Yasilievich - Season Expectations and Alternate Captaincy

Season Expectations

 

Siyan Yasilievich will have high expectations coming into this season. After having a below average first season in the league as a rookie, he'll be looking to make a splash this season. He had an amazing Junior Showcase Tournament where he was a point per game defenseman and the captain of the team. Siyan was selected 12th overall by the Philadelphia Reapers ahead of lots of players that had much more talent at the time being, so he has big shoes to fill for the Reapers. Coming into this season, we spoke with Siyan a bit in our interview asking about what he expects for this season. We'll summarize what he said, but he basically said that he wants to have 40 points at minimum and to take home the trophy this season. The Reapers are coming in with a star-studded lineup with big name players such as Eldon Escobar, Bob Chicoine, Bobby Rockwell, and many more. That also doesn't take into account returning players, in all-star goaltender Red Gaming who will be backing them in between the pipes. With a team like this, Siyan has his sights set very high and he's hoping that the team will be able to finally achieve that trophy that they have been waiting for so long. 

 

Alternate Captaincy

 

Siyan Yasilievich was recently named one of the Alternate Captains for the Philadelphia Reapers in the upcoming season. He'll be joining Red Gaming and Eldon Escobar in leading the team, with Red Gaming being the Captain and Eldon Escobar being an Alternate Captain. Siyan is not new to the Captaincy and Leadership role on teams, as he was the Captain for the Steel in the Junior Showcase Tournament, so he'll be ready to lead another team yet again. You can already tell Siyan is fitting into his role very well, as during practices he is teaching the younger players what the expectations are for the team, and he seems like he'll be a great fit for the Reapers. It is very funny though, because Siyan doesn't have the best English yet, and he's still working on it, so during practice when he's trying to help people out sometimes the message doesn't always get through. However, the younger players seem to enjoy his enthusiasm and presence in the locker room, so he must be doing something right!

 

Miscellaneous

 

The Philadelphia Reapers will be starting their season on February 1st, where Siyan will take the ice for the second time in a Reapers Uniform. It'll also be the first time he'll be wearing the "A" on his jersey. A lot of General Managers and Scouts are already keeping their eyes on Siyan Yasilievich, who is the projected #10 pick for the Upcoming S83 Draft in both VHLE and the VHL, where he'll most likely be playing in the next season. Siyan is almost ready to take that jump to the big leagues, and one more season would be perfect for his development.
