[nerji 126]

Jeff Lewis, a talented scorer, began his promising minor league career with the Mississauga Hounds (playing in a city where he spent some of his formative years) showcasing his raw skills and potential.

S88 Stat Line:

Games Played - 72
Goals - 44 (second in the league)
Assists - 40
Points - 84
Shots - 417 (first in the league)
Hits - 139

 

His minor league career began when he was drafted in the first round, sixth overall by the Mississauga Hounds in the S88 VHLM Dispersal Draft. He made an immediate impact, displaying his natural talent and work ethic. During his first year in the minors, his offensive prowess shone through. He consistently displayed excellent puck control and a fantastic shot.

 

The Hounds had a pretty strong season finishing tied for first overall and narrowly missing the finals after falling to the Philadelphia Reapers. The Hounds had a pretty loaded team with players such as Reginald the Dodo and Mclean Hoover II and Lewis finished tied for fourth in team scoring with Austin Goulet. Lewis also plays a very disciplined game and only had 36 penalty minutes in that season. It was unfortunate the Hounds couldn't make it to the finals as this would be the only season Lewis would play in the VHLM and it would have been a great way to advance after winning a championship. However, it was a fantastic learning experience as he worked on finding his way around the VHL.

 

Jeffs strengths include his shot which he isn't afraid to make use of as witnessed by his league leading 417 shots on goal and his ability to find his way out of tight puck battles.

 

He has indicated he will be working on his main weakness which is really his defense as it was quite low and any promotion to the VHLE would require more effort out into this area of his play.

 

In conclusion, Jeff Lewis had a very short but strong minor league career has been marked by impressive achievements and consistent growth. His remarkable offensive skills and work ethic have set him apart as a top prospect. With each passing week, Lewis has solidified his status as a future star in the VHL, leaving fans and scouts alike eagerly anticipating his arrival in the major leagues.
