Mac Atlas Junior Review

[v.2 1,388]

 

Mac Atlas has never actually played hockey.  He came to earth on an asteroid crashing into the middle of Wyoming.  A Titan from an alternate reality, Mac immediately assumed peak physical human form and has begun integration into society in his randomly chosen home of earth, specifically the United States of America.  It is completely unknown why Atlas is here, or where exactly he originated, but it seems this avante garde character has one goal in mind: Become a top tier center in the Victory Hockey League.

 

 

The stars gaze upon the city of Miami as Mac Atlas puts pen to paper on a recently signed contract with the Marauders.  Atlas is prepared to work his way through the VHLM and hone the necessary skills required to be a dominant force on the ice.  Ideally, Atlas aims to become a scoring threat with a physical side, and tough to knock off the puck.  Atlas when asked what type of player he admired in the VHL chose not to verbally respond, however did point at a couple of legendary names around the arena including Hall of Famer's Josh Vestiquan, and soon to be Hall of Famer Duncan Idaho.

 

 

So far so good - Through one singular played VHLM game Mac Atlas is a point per game player.  General Manager @nurxseamlessly slotted him into the 2nd line, and Atlas recorded 1 helper in a solid win against the Houston Bulls.  While the season is nearly over, Atlas hopes to use this time on the Marauders as a tryout of sorts, or a "prove-it" moment to highlight his skill prior to the VHLM draft.  Atlas' future however can't be determined by how he plays with teammates or integrates himself into a lineup.  He carries himself with an air of arrogance and narcissism, and knows that he will be a star player on any team one day, causing the players around him to have to adjust to his level.  This is a bit of a hindrance however, as many coaches and managers see this as a potential for locker room cancer despite the skill.  It remains to be seen how Atlas will adjust to life in the USA and if he can emulate more of a personable persona and drop the god-like way of thinking.  For now, Mac Atlas is ready to take the VHLM by storm and help Miami make a big push for the cup.
