Yesterday the Vancouver Wolves played the Toronto Legion and ended up winning by a huge margin of 8-1. The standout player of the game was Henry Eagles who put up 3 goals and 2 assists. To make the game even more special for Henry, he achieved his first ever natural hat trick.

1. Vancouver Wolves , Henry Eagles 33 (Pierre Emile Bouchard 60, Jeremy Swayman) at 4:29 (PP)
2. Vancouver Wolves , Henry Eagles 34 (Dogwood Maple 49, Pierre Emile Bouchard 61) at 10:57
3. Vancouver Wolves , Henry Eagles 35 (Pierre Emile Bouchard 62, Nezuko 45) at 18:54 (PP)

 

Henry was gifted the game puck at the end of the game and has set himself up to achieve his goal of 40 goals this season with only 10 games to go.

 

The other standout of the game was Pierre Emile Bouchard who ended the game with 6 assists. Pierre was a menace out on the ice, weaving through all the Legion players and setting up multiple team-mates throughout the game. It was an incredible thing to watch and the fans hope Pierre can continue this great gameplay heading into the playoffs.

 

"It was probably one of my best games of the year, not only did I get my second hat trick this season but it was a natural hat trick which made things more special " Henry said " I haven't done this in any stage of my career so it was definitely special to get it here in the VHL"

 

"Pierre also had an amazing game for us, few games ago he told me just get to the net and I will find you" Henry continued " I listened to what he said this game and he was right; he set me up with 2 great passes and also helped on 4 other goals. His vision that game was incredible and we are lucky to have a player of his caliber"

 

Henry has started to play very well in the last half of the season and he now sits at 35 goals, 39 assists for 74 points which is new career highs in all categories and there is still 10 games left to go. This is also the first season that Henry has achieved a PPG or higher in a season. While still quite a bit behind the VHL goals leader, who leads with 48 goals, Henry is closing in on finishing in the top 10. From rank 8-10 all the players sit at 37 goals and Henry believe by the end of the season he can break into the top 10.

 

" I think I can do it, I got 10 games left to really put on a show. We have already clinched the playoffs so for me I will be chasing that target of 40 goals and breaking into the top 10 in goals " Henry continued " I was drafted to be a well rounded sniper and I still have to prove that, I think this season shows what I am fully capable of doing in this league"

Hopefully I set you up for that Fortieth goal of the season as I am sure that Eagles will give it his all. Also only around a goal per game to hit the forty mark so it will be tough but Bouchard is also still chasing an assist per game pace so keep driving to the net and we will see what we can accomplish together!!
