Saskatoon Wild - S82 Roster Standouts

 

 

Saskatoon - The season has been underway in the VHLM, fans from across North America and beyond are extremely excited to see top prospects play in their respective cities. One of those cities is Saskatoon, which has been a bottom feeder in the standings for a few years now. But it seems the tide has turned for this team, not to jump the gun on this team. But they’ve had a flattering campaign to start Season 82 off. So far, they’ve been able to secure 2nd spot in the Western Conference with 37 points in 29 games. Just behind the Houston Bulls for the top spot with 40 points. Saskatoon has a jammed-pack lineup full of talent top to bottom. Today we’ll take a look at a few of the stand-out stars on the Wild team. That had contributed to their team's success immensely.

 

Minou Lambert @Minoulambert23 - Minou Lambert has a small lanky build for a left-winger, listed at over 6 feet but only 150 lbs. After a stint with the Mexico City Kings in Season 81, Lambert posted 44 points (23 G, 21A) with the team. Although he put up some promising numbers with the team, he showed he can mean much more to the offense. In Saskatoon this season, he’s posted almost identical offensive numbers, scoring 46 points (19 G, 27 A) all in just 29 games. He’s been a pleasant surprise in Saskatoon that has been quickly going up the ranks.

 

Jeff Buffy @Strider- Jeff Buffy is a (as you guessed it) buff defenseman built like a tank, being 6 foot 5 and weighing in at 235 pounds. He’s a returning Saskatoon player, last year he put up decent offensive numbers with 12 goals and 45 assists in 64 games. Being a big defender like Buffy, he also racked up some promising physicality numbers, such as 157 hits with 106. Numbers like those showed that Jeff has a ton of potential, which resulted in Saskatoon selecting Buffy with their first overall pick. This season showed Buffy has no signs of slowing down. Posting 6 goals with 24 assists in 29 games, with 81 hits and 41 shots blocked. He’s well on target to break his season stats from last year. Buffy has been a leader on the defense that Saskatoon needed, skies the limit for this guy.

 

Augustus Kennedy@InstantRockstar - Augustus is a young goaltender that has been the backbone of this team since the start of the season. When Saskatoon drafted the young goaltender, he was placed with enormous responsibilities right from the get-go. He was ordered to be the starting goaltender for this young Saskatoon Wild team. And he clearly didn’t disappoint, with a 18-10 record with 2 shutouts and a .896 save percentage. Which is not bad at all for a first-year VHLM rookie.

 

Saskatoon has been full of pleasant surprises this season, with some standout stars that have prevailed under the Wild management. We hope to see what they can do as the season progresses. GO SASKATOON!
