A Major Minor

[Thunder 903]

When Alex Armstrong joined Halifax in season 67, did he know at that time he was just the beginning of an epic career?  For five seasons Armstrong was a powerful defenseman for four different teams, Mexico City, Yukon, Minnesota, and Halifax.  He retired during season 71.

 

Rick Osman, a giant defenseman, played five seasons for Mississauga, Halifax, and Saskatoon, beginning with Mississauga in season 71.  Although Osman’s numbers were impressive, he wasn’t quite as successful as Alex Armstrong before retiring after season 75.

 

In season 76, Bryn Yrwy joined Mexico City.  The wiry diminutive center was to lead them to a cup, but he was traded to the Halifax and played the next four seasons with the 21st.  Yrwy was a disciplined goal scorer and led the team in points until retiring after season 80.

 

In season 81, Juan Ceson was picked up by Halifax and after 20 games he was traded to Mexico City to finish out the season.  Ceson started season 82 with Saskatoon and played 24 games with them before being traded to Las Vegas, where he currently remains.  The rest is history.

 

What do these four stars have in common?  They all belong to @dylanjj37.  A major VHL presence who has only played in the minors.
