[ROOKIE745 599]

The VHL is approaching the end of an era, season 86 will be the final time we will see players drafted in the S70's playing, once the season is over it will surely spark a coversations of who were the best players drafted in the S70's. While these topics are fun it's definitely not on the minds of the players. While a number of season 79 draftees have opted to retire early, including two teammates Ori had in Seattle, he has decided to stick it out for his final season. "You only get one go around in the VHL, I wanna make the most of it." Ori told reporters. While moving from the west coast to the east coast is a big one it isn't quite as big as when he moved from Helsinki to Seattle, not only that but there is a familiar face in D.C for Ori. Nezuko was a number one draft pick back in season 81 for the Titans. He played for the Titans from S82 to S84 before heading to D.C and helping them on their way to winning the cup. Ori played with him on during the S82 and S83 seasons before he left for the Bears in S84. "It's good to see him again and always fun to be reunited with a former teammate. We've been taking a lot of drills together and he's giving me the tour around D.C. There's still new things he's learning despite having been here a year now." While Ori gets his barrings in D.C the Dragons are gearing up for the season, everyone is asking if they can defend their cup win, and well only time will answer that question.
