Season End Wrap up: Jesse Teno

[Aimee 1,074]

Despite Jesse Teno having put up a good fight in the end, they could not help their team cross the finish line into the playoffs. So, with that, Jesse Teno and London’s season is over. They lost the last game of the season to HC Davos Dynamo 1-2, with Jesse earning an impressive 0.960 save percentage as they were able to save 48 of 50 shots. Though the second to last game, also against Davos, saw Teno and Booberry giving it all they had as they faced nearly identical shots and let in 6 and 5 goals respectively. It has also gone around that Teno was a bit disappointed when they found out that they would not be facing off against their friend Lachlan Summers in either game. And with the playoffs now out of reach for London, it seems the two goalies will have to wait until next season to face off.

 

Where does this leave Jesse Teno? In a decent spot, we think. With the upcoming loss of GM Dil, London will have to find new leadership and it is unsure if any future leadership will be making moves with the players. But since Teno is the only goalie for the team, and the need for goalies remains high, it’s doubtful that they will be up for trade. For now though, Teno is committed to staying with London through their contract and possibly beyond. They have only just finished their sophomore season but anything could happen now.

 

Jesse probably will not be taking any awards home this season but they have many more to come in the VHL that could be award worthy. We were able to grab them for a quick quote as they left the arena after the last game: “It’s disappointing, I won’t lie. To be that close to clinching and falling short is hard to swallow. I’ll just have to do my best to train during the extended off season and be ready for the next.” We will catch them for another quote next week during locker cleanout day.

 

Jesse Teno ends S87 with the following stats:
34-23-7 Record
0.925 Save Percentage
2.62 Goals Against Average
3 Shutouts

According to the Index, Jesse Teno also ends the season with the following rankings among VHL goalies:
6th in Wins
7th in Save Percentage
6th in Goals Against Average
8th in Minutes Played

Once all the official business is done here in London, Jesse Teno plans to head home to Vermont to rest and relax for a bit before getting back down to business. Between their charity and training, we anticipate the London goalie having a very busy off season.

 

Speaking of the charity; it has up to today serviced over 2,000 families by providing free hockey equipment and lessons. Jesse has stated that as more money comes into the charity, they plan to start giving out grants to local rinks that need funds to improve their facilities. It was even finalized last week that once Jesse was back in Vermont that they would begin with their local rink, Riley Rink in Manchester. The facility is in need of some minor maintenance and could use a new set of bleachers. 

 

Aside from that, Jesse Teno has family and friends to look forward to seeing. Everything else with London will fall into place eventually and maybe one day Jesse Teno will start in the VHL playoffs. But until then, they are going to be preparing for the next one and enjoying the time off at home.

Report from VHL Times on this media spot: It was tough to see London goalie Jesse Teno's season has ended after the team lost its last game of the season to HC Davos Dynamo, despite Teno achieving a 0.960 save percentage and saving 48 of 50 shots. Teno's team is now out of the playoffs, and with the upcoming loss of the team's GM, it remains unclear if any future leadership will make moves with players, including Teno, who is the team's only goalie. However, it is unlikely that Teno will be traded due to the high demand for goalies. Teno ends the season with a record of 34-23-7, a 0.925 save percentage, a 2.62 goals-against average, and three shutouts. While disappointed not to have made the playoffs, Teno is committed to staying with London through their contract and beyond. During the off-season, Teno plans to return home to Vermont to rest and relax, continue training, and work with their charity to provide free hockey equipment and lessons to families and grants to local rinks in need of funds to improve their facilities.

I am excited for Leonard to join you in London next season!  Hopefully he gets his body in the way of some shots to help out Teno!
