Bryngelson Leads 21st in Scoring Through 4 Games

[tcookie 897]

4 games into his VHLM career, Joachim Bryngelson appears to be fitting in well as a member of the Halifax 21st. "I really like the city and I really like the locker room. My teammates and management are great and I'm happy with the decision to come here, for sure," said Bryngelson when asked how he was finding it so far.

 

On the ice, the 21st have a 1-3-0 record although all three losses are to one of the early season VHLM favourites, the Philadelphia Reapers. They defeated Mississauga 5-2 today to earn their first win of the season. In that victory, Bryngelson was named second star with 3 assists, one of which set up Jack Riley for a hat-trick goal on the powerplay.

 

Overall, Bryngelson has 4 assists in his first 4 VHLM games, playing third line minutes with some PP and PK time. He is living up to the scouting report as a defensively responsible pass-first player, having only taken 6 shots on goal, but leading Halifax forwards with 4 blocked shots. His 4 points also currently leads the team in scoring. It's been a successful first week for Bryngelson as he hopes to help the team push for the playoffs. "The goal is always to win and I'm happy I've been able to contribute so far. We know the Reapers are tough and although starting 1-3-0 is disappointing we have a lot of faith in the group here."
