Lunaro 208 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Royal Review PO Teams GP W L OTL P GF GA 3 Royals 35 22 9 4 48 155 125 As we get close to the halfway mark in the VHLM season the Bern Royals are sitting in the second spot in the European Conference and at the top of their division tied in points with the Bratislava Watchmen with a game in hand. Going into the season the Royals were thought by many to be the 3rd and final playoff team from Europe where the Watchmen and the Storm would be far and away the two top contenders after the two teams loaded up on 3 1st round picks in the Dispersal Draft each. Bern has done well though with the emergence of Jaime Hill and the superstar scoring of Jody 3 Moons and have exceeded expectations as they've played their way proving that they are contenders as well. The Royal's 22 wins and 48 points is good enough to put them third in the overall standings behind the Storm and the Wild. Let's take a look at how a couple of Bern rookies have done this season so far: Jaime Hill GP:35 | G:14 | A:38 | P:58 | +/-:15 | PIM:59 | HITS:126 | SB: 85 | TOI: 1038 Hill was drafted by Bern in the second round 17th overall with Bern's first pick in the draft. She has vastly improved her game from last season and quickly became an integral part of the Royal's defense as she has logged over 1000 minutes through 35 games so far this season which averages to almost 30 minutes a game. She has managed to score 14 goals for 52 points which provided some much needed secondary scoring behind Jody 3 Moons. She hasn't been shy about playing physically either as she leads the team in hits(126) and blocked shots(85). Selected as an alternate captain at the start of the season Hill has been leading by example on the ice and in the locker room and has played a major role in Bern's success so far. Nicklas Karlsson GP:35 | G:5 | A:15 | P:20 | +/-:16 | PIM:14 | HITS:59 | SB:59 | TOI:858 Karlsson was Bern's 3rd round pick in the Dispersal Draft at 27th overall. This was a rather bold selection by rookie GM "Jaladolar" as Karlsson had been relatively unheard of entering the draft with 0 TPE. Our sources say that the young defenseman was on Bern's watch list through Jaladolar's connections with Karlsson's agent. As the season started the Royals continued to show confidence in the young player as they selected him as an alternate captain alongside Jaime Hill and captain Jody 3 Moons. Karlsson has played all of the season in a defensive pairing with Hill and quietly been having a solid season. There's nothing breath-taking about his stats but he's played some solid defense, which has allowed Hill to be more aggressive on offensive and pinches. His 59 shots blocked places him third in the team and all 5 of his goals have come from the power play where he seems most comfortable on offense so far as he was known as a power play specialist coming over from Sweden. He's shown some steady improvement as he adjusts to the game and the talent level in the VHLM but has gone under the radar as most other rookies have been showing much more dynamic growth.

Head Moderator frescoelmo 1,268 Posted October 25, 2014 Head Moderator Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) Content: 2.5/3 - Nice little bit about the Royals and how their three major players have fared thus far. You provided a good description on when these players were selected, what they have worked over the past season, and their contributions to the Royals this season. I would work on breaking sentences up a little bit, as you had a lot of run-ons throughout this. When you are done with a thought, it is good practice to end a sentence or at least a comma to indicate you are heading in a different direction. 574 words. Grammar: 1.75/2 - Some of this was tough to read, nothing horrible though. after the two teams loaded up on 3 1st round picks in the Dispersal Draft each. = after the two teams each loaded up on three 1st round picks in the dispersal draft. She has vastly improved her game from last season and quickly became an integral part = She has vastly improved her game from last season and is now an integral part score 14 goals for 52 points which = score 14 goals and 52 points hits(126) = hits (126) shots(85) = shots (85) Selected as an alternate captain at the start of the season Hill has been leading = Selected as an alternate captain at the start of the season, Hill has been leading played all of the season = played the entire season (not really wrong, just sounds funny) Appearance: 1/1 - The logos and font types looked nice. Next time, add a few pictures to spice it up a bit. Overall, great start! 5.25/6 Edited October 25, 2014 by frescoelmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Trifecta 1,896 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Content: 3/3 I will give full marks here. This was great you did a media spot about your team. It's nice to see that you are going to get back into things. Raise your draft stock and help this be another great draft class bro. Grammar: 1.75 I like the guy before me agree. I couldn't find anything outside of his. Appearance: 1/1 Sure Grade: 5.5/6 FINAL: 6/6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
