London United Season 86 call ups, looking forward to the future

[JCarson 744]

The London United are pleased to announce the promotion of Blake MacTavish, Astro Singh and Jesse Teno to the lineup for season 86. These player had strong seasons in the VHLE last season and as such have earned a place in the VHL. 

 

Blake MacTavish was originally drafted in Season 82 by the Las Vegas Aces. Blake played a couple seasons in both the VHLM and the VHLE in which he accumulated 165 points, including 62 goals. In season 63 Blake and the Las Vegas Aces won the Founder’s Cup. Blake MacTavish brings grit and dedication to the team. 

 

Astro Singh was drafted in Season 85 by the Vasteras Iron Eagles after playing their VHLM season with the Saskatoon Wild. Astro had a strong VHLM and VHLE season accumulating 115 points, including 60 goals. Astro Singh brings with them a strong scoring touch and a great vision for the game of hockey. 

 

Jesse Teno has had a strong showing so far with significant improvements in the VHLE. Jesse Teno started with the Saskatoon Wild in the VHLM where they were able to show their talent. Moving to the VHLE allowed Jesse to show what they could put up a 29-win season with a 93% save percentage and 2.08 GAA. 

 

Recently we had a chance to sit with Molly the Cat, captain of the London United and were able to ask about each of the recent call ups. Here is what Molly the Cat had to say. 

 

“London United looks forward to our new teammates joining us for training camp. I really believe that Blake MacTavish has had a hard-fought career up to this point. Not everyone gets the opportunity to jump directly from the VHLM to the VHLE to the VHL. There are those players who fight and claw their way through the leagues. These players bring a level of grit and determination that is hard to explain.” 

 

When asked about Astro Singh, Molly the Cat had this to say, 

 

“Astro Singh is an exceptionally talented player. They see the ice well and have great hands. They rely on their speed to put distance between them and their opponents. They are going to make a fantastic addition to the front end of the London United. Depending on what they can show in training camp it will determine what line they get to start with.” 

 

Molly the Cat had the following to say about Jesse Teno, 

 

“Jesse Teno definitely has the talent to be a starting goaltender in the VHL. Very few goalies have the pure talent that Jesse Teno possesses. We look forward to working with Teno and helping them find their place on the team. I expect that they will start by backing up Ed Nu but honestly the net could be up for grabs this season. Jesse Teno is just that good.” 

 

It will be interesting to see how these players integrate into the London United team dynamics, defensive structure, and overall team culture. We know the fans of the London United are looking forward to Season 86.
