John Richards, A Unicorn Player

[John Cimarno 252]

John Richards has proven to be one of the best goal scoring prospects the VHLM has to offer as he notched a 4 goal game against the Miami Maurauders in the VHLM when he was playing for the San Diego Marlins and while playing for the Dehli Pickles, he scored a hat trick against another team. The Junior Showcase Tournament, where the Dehli Pickles and Richards are playing, has just begun their playoffs after a 30 game round robin. Richards in those 30 games scored 11 goals but was extremely inconsistent when it came to goal scoring. one night he'll score 2 goals and then he won't score again for the next 5 games. 

 

The inconsistency that Richards had shown left many to doubt his ability to play against stronger competition but Richards would prove all of his critiques wrong in game 1 of the playoffs against the Warriors where he scored 2 goals in a heartbreaking loss. He would then put up an assist in game 3 which unfortunately was another loss for the Pickles. Richards has shown he can score at will but can also be as dry as a desert.

 

This is why Richards is labeled by us as the "unicorn player" in the draft. You just never know what you're going to get from him.

Oh dang I thought you meant he was a designated third for couples.
