Puck Drop with Tim McKrank, The Localist (09-08-22)

[Oli-La-Poutine 39]

On Monday the eight of august was held the annual JST entry draft at the Discord Arena for the upcoming Junior tournament showcase. Young player from all around the internet held on the their chair wishing to hear a GM call their name and finally been allowed to step one foot closer to the big league. Among them sat of course our beloved Oli McGee from Saint-Claude-de-la-Conception, who, if drafted, would be the first ever player from our humble little hamlet to join a team in such a high level of virtual hockey competition.

This class was especially know for lacking a deep pool of Defenceman which represented a true challenge for the acting GM. And a overflow of goaltending talent meant some alleged great player would have to go home carrying the weight of their broken dreams. 

 

As the table where set and the GM's ready to fire, Team Clue opened the night by selecting Defense man Isamu Knievel from the Houston Bulls. His blue line teammate Lloyd Braun would be picked up right after by Team Brigade. Reno Reinhold,a defence man from Germany would close the top three as he was picking by Team Steel. 

 

Three D-man as top three, the struggle was real. There is even rumour that some team might have to use fowards as D-man to meet the league regulation!

 

With the 42nd overall pick, our boy Oli McGee from Saint-Claude-de-la-Conception finally get selected by GM Jacob and will be playing for Team Brigade. "I am pretty stocked to join the defending champion of the Jst showcase", McGee said, "I'll do my best to help this team win it again this year".

 

And we sure hope he does! It will be a thrill to follow Team Brigade thru the championship.
