Chicago Phoenix Surprising Many Early In Season

[fromtheinside 1,289]

We are about a week into the VHL season and there is no shortage of interesting storylines developing throughout the league. In the North American Conference. Seattle has gotten off to a decent start and sit atop the standings with a 7-2-0 record. Meanwhile over in the European Conference, things are a bit more lopsided. London and Moscow currently hold the top spots with 15 and 14 ponits respectively, while Riga is right behind them with 13. One of the teams who has surprised some people thus far though has been the Chicago Phoenix. As many of you know, the Phoenix have been knees-deep in a rebuild for the last season or two, but this season they are finally starting to see the fruits of their labour. Chicago is rolling out four rookie players in their active lineup this season, and so far they have jumped in head first and have done great. Leading them has been their forward The Board Game Clue On Skates, who is red hot to start the year. He has seven goals and eight assists for 15 points in total, which is seventh in the league in points, which is best amongst all rookies. Clue has connected with fellow rookie teammate Bo Johansson frequently, and the duo are giving the team a lot of early success as the Phoenix currently sit fourth in the NA conference.
