Jacob Stone on cusp of single-season record

[scoop 3,447]

With ten games left to play, Jacob Stone of the Stockholm Vikings is on the verge of setting the new VHLE record in points for players prior to their VHL/E draft. Given that the VHLE is still a very young league, and it's just a short list of players who even played in the VHLE before being drafted, it's not particularly impressive at this point in time. The current record was set by Skor McFleury just last season, with 74 points. Stone sits at 70 points following a four-assist outing in his most recent game. With the Vikings playing three more games against the league-worst Rome Gladiators, it seems we are past the point of questioning if he can pass McFleury and are now just watching to see how high he sets the next bar.

 

While Stone has been finding individual success this season, the same cannot be said for his fellow S88 draftee who made the jump to the VHLE this season. BjorkaBjorn BjornaBjorkson has just 22 points for the Cologne Express. This is in large part due to the undeniable fact that Jacob Stone is far superior to BjorkaBjorn BjornaBjorkson. Needless to say, BjorkaBjorn BjornaBjorkson seems to have made a mistake when followed Stone to the VHLE, as brave of a decision as it was.
