Oslo’s Roster and Why They’re Great

[ctots 400]

Hello VHL! I’m ctots, the AGM for the Oslo Storm, and I’m going to take this time to highlight the incredible talents of our roster. Given our position in the standings, those who aren’t familiar with the team might be totally unaware of the small core of incredible players that Oslo has on the roster. Rest assured, while the greater VHL community might not be aware of their skills, the entire country of Norway is fanatical about these up and coming superstars.

 

@Thunder - Jake Thunder. The team’s points leader is our only defenseman worth writing home about, and he’s having an incredible season. After 42 games, Thunder is leading the team in points, with a massive 50! He’s found the net himself 14 times (10 of those coming on the power play), and he’s an absolute assist machine, racking up 36 thus far. Jake isn’t just an offensive threat, he has good defensive instincts, too. Thunder has blocked an incredible 126 shots to provide a first line of defense in front of the blue paint.

 

@Crstats23 - Pete Mitchell. Ranking the highest in points among our forwards is none other than superstar left winger Pete Mitchell. Mitchell is the team’s most potent scoring threat, and he’s shown that 20 times this season. Of those twenty, eight goals came on the power play. Mitchell has had the honor of sending opponents packing twice this season with game winning goals. Pete has taken 289 shots, which means he’s shooting around 7% right now! Not bad, Mitchell! Ever the unselfish teammate, Mitchell has provided 23 assists this season, bringing him to 43 points over the 42 games played thus far - Oslo will take as many point-per-game forwards as we can find!

 

@hcrooster96 - Matt Rooster. Of the two centers that Oslo has on the roster, Matt Rooster has shown that he’s the more offensively minded choice. Rooster’s 7 goals combine with his 26 assists for a total of 33 points! Rooster is a crowd favorite for his pristine reputation - Matt has taken a mere 17 penalty minutes this season. His teammates appreciate that too, killing penalties is a big challenge, especially with a short talent pool on the blue line.

 

@Ledge - Cobalt Burns. When the play calls for an aggressive, physical forechecking winger, Cobalt Burns is the perfect player to answer that call. Burns leads the team in hits by a wide margin, currently sitting at 124 at this point in the season. In terms of productivity, Burns is no slouch, either. The young left wing forward has lit the lamp 11 times so far, and has fed teammates 16 juicy apples, good for a very respectable 27 points. Cobalt isn’t afraid to throw the body in all regards: he’s blocked 34 shots and serves as the team’s enforcer, too.

 

@dpowers49 - Dylan Powers. Unfortunately for the team, this season is the last in Powers’ short career in professional hockey. He’s certainly making the best of it though - this center has 13 goals and 25 points total on the season as of the 44 game mark. (Note: yes, this media spot took long enough that sims happened while I was writing. No, I’m not fixing it.)

 

@bRaidsz - Zen Raider. A recent addition to the team, Zen Raider is already making a strong positive impact on the team. Raider’s first goal with the Storm was a game winner! In addition, Raider has 3 assists in only six games played. Zen is doing the little things that make a difference, too: they’re averaging 2 hits and 1 shot blocked per game. 

 

@InstantRockstar - Augustus Kennedy. Without Kennedy minding the net, Oslo would be incalculably worse as a team overall. After 39 games in the crease, Kennedy has an incredible 0.938 save percentage! The young netminder could use a bit of extra support to truly shine - even with stellar save numbers, Augustus is just shy of an even winning record at 14-15-7. The Storm can play confidently in front of Kennedy, which is absolutely essential to finding success.

 

There you have it, hockey fans! This team has been playing with heart and really makes Norway proud.
