End of a Rookie Season

[Aimee 1,119]

Jesse Teno’s rookie season is over and the impact they made on the VHL has been minimal. No breakout performances in their 11 games and no real accolades to speak of. Sure, just being trusted to play in the VHL is an honor in and of itself but Jesse felt like they didn’t get to really shine and prove their worth. But perhaps that is what being a backup goalie for a whole season is. In Saskatoon, Jesse was trusted to carry the Wild through both the regular season and the playoffs. In Cologne, Jesse had a short stint as the backup before taking over the role as starter a few weeks in. This has been Jesse’s quietest season on the ice since they were a freshman in college and the feeling is strange. They know they made an impact with their 7 wins but it doesn’t feel like a big enough one to them. Hopefully the next season will be their chance to really show everyone what they are made of.
