The S82 Junior Showcase Tournament winners, the Warriors.

The draft week has started. There's hope, expectation, and (a lot) of mock drafts going around... 

 

The WJC ended last week, so it's already old news. But last night was a magical one for a group of young guys, some of which are sure to be drafted tonight, Thursday, and even Sunday.

 

The Warriors won the Junior Showcase Tournament after beating the Steel in just 4 games.

 

After winning the first game, but dropping the second, the Warriors regrouped. And with a strategy tweak managed to beat the Steel in the two games played yesterday.

 

This is no ordinary feat, but the Warriors aren't your usual team.

 

Built strong, like your neighbor's Ford F-150, it's time for you to get to know some of these players.

 

In goal, the best goaltender (and MVP) of the tournament, Clueless Wallob (@DMaximus ), is set to be drafted into the VHLM. Ranked 2nd by TPE, maintained a .916 save percentage through 28 games in the regular round. During the playoffs, you ask? Even better, with a .936 through 9 games. He led the tournament in those stats - by some margin.

 

To continue the trend of players to be drafted in the upcoming VHLM Draft, all the Warriors defensemen. Callum Murray (@Berocka), Faith Hope Love (@MMFLEX), Malum Maellard (@frescoelmo), and Jimmy MacElroy (@Xflexz).

 

This unit was the pillar of what the Warriors are. A gritty, defensive-minded team. The scouts have to be aware of these guys, just as much as the Warriors were when they took them in the JST draft a couple of weeks ago. You can't overstate their commitment and involvement in the team's success.

 

Lastly, we'll mention the only guy set to be drafted in this season's VHL draft, Jeremy Davidson (@jpdavidson8787). Quiet and never overstepping his ground, Jeremy's a peculiar player. Consistency has to be his middle name. He averaged about the same P/20 (Points per 20 minutes) through the tournament's different rounds.

 

Of course, these six players don't make the team whole, but they'll proudly prevail as victors of the S82 JST winners, Warriors, locker room.

 

 

P.S.: I wish to congratulate @thadthrasher, as well. AGM to this winning team, he managed to repeat his title from S81!
