Bruise Banner hits the scene

[ctots 400]

Good evening sports fans, welcome to Generic Coverage Nightly, where tonight we will shed light on the facts and theories surrounding new VHLM Draft entrant, Bruise Banner.

Banner is a relatively unknown player in the world of the Victory Hickey League, and for good reason: the young center comes from a background of street hockey. He was recruited by his college’s ice hockey team in the middle of last season. During a stretch of unfortunate injuries, Banner volunteered to take the ice to fill in the gaps.

 

“This is going to be an unmitigated disaster.” Said one anonymous source with connections to the team. The sentiment seemed to be echoed in the locker room. That is, until the team started winning. Banner showed a talent in the face off circle, averaging 58.5% through the 20 games he played in his abbreviated season.

 

Not just a face off specialist, Bruise has shown himself to be a competent offensive threat. He has a strong instinct for screening goalies. He’s even found a few tip-in goals for his effort.

Is this the sort of player who can succeed on the ice against VHLM-caliber competition? The jury is still out.

 

This season will answer all of our questions about this unknown quantity. Stay tuned for more on this story as it develops.
