Career highs

[Greg_Di 1,028]

 

Henry Eagles has been playing significantly better this year and is approaching career high in points and assists. He currently sits at 30 points vs his 31 point career high in his rookie season and sits at 16 assists vs his 18 career high.

 

He has already surpassed his career high in goals as he has 14 vs his 13 in his rookie season. He has reached those career highs in just 36 games this season and should be able to add a significant amount more. Henry is on track for the goal he set himself of achieving 60+ points in his sophomore season. He should have no problem reaching that goal unless he goes on an immense cold streak which we do not see happening.

 

With the recent trade of team leader Nico Pearce, who will be missed for his leadership and point contribution to the team, it opens up the opportunity for Henry to show that he can take on the role of being one of the top players on the team. 

 

"It was a shock when Nico was moved, he was a highly valued member of the team and a great leader for our team" Henry said " but I guess in the end this group was not getting it done after we were given a chance with the same core and changes had to be made. I always support management as they have the best intentions for the team and while I will miss Pearce, it gives me an opportunity to step out of his shadow and show the team what I am capable of"

 

The first few games after the trade, Henry has exploded in point production and recently hit a career high 4 points in one game vs Prague by scoring 2 goals and assisting on 2 others. This helped the Wolves win back to back games and gives them a start on a new win streak. The Wolves will need all the wins they can muster for the rest of the season as they find themselves 5th in the North American Conference. The Wolves will need Henry to continue his good form in order to make sure they are in the playoffs at the end of the season.

 

Eagles is now only 5 points off from leading the team in scoring and while its not a big attribute for him, many fans and management want him to be that scoring leader on the team and the reason why he was chosen 1st overall

 

"For me it has always been about the team, seeing the team win and having the best opportunity to win the cup " Henry continues " I don't look at points or stats or who is leading what, I think only the media really look into that. Sure the coaches might want to see me leading top 10 stats but my focus is to contribute the best that I can to help this team win. I don't care about awards, all I care about is winning the cup. That is my only goal in this league.
