Nyx 68 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 After the Bulls made a move many have called controversial taking Tyler Lawson, the former UCLA stud who unfortunately suffered from an MCL injury - ultimately, leading to him going undrafted after entering his name into the VHL Draft, Lawson was left to fight for his spot in the world of hockey. He struggled, finding that getting a roster spot on even the most trivial of teams to be a daunting task as he's recalled, "Nobody wanted me," said Lawson. It wasn't for a lack of trying, no, teams simply refused to take a chance on the talent after suffering an injury that has ruined many athletes' careers. "It really amazed me that Houston was the only squad willing to take a shot on me." The Bulls, however, didn't let that stop them from picking up the talent of waivers just some days ago, and since then, he's already yearning to make an immediate impact. Tyler, in his first two games of VHLM action, has already picked up two goals in two games - one goal a piece, much to even his own dismay. We sent a reporter down rinkside to speak with Tyler on his thoughts after such an extraordinarily hot start for him. "It feels great," recalled the Houston centreman, "I mean, I've already got the match puck [from his first goal back in Phillidelphia] sitting up, y'know, kinda like sitting up on my bookshelf with the rest of my hockey accolades, and uh," he said through gasps for air - the energy in the arena, his physical exertion, and the butterflies in his chest all adding up to leave him lost for words, "It's really been a miracle, almost like a, uh, storybook. I couldn't have hoped for a better start than this, and I'm excited to see what this season holds for me. I feel like I'm just getting started." "Thank you for your time, Lawson," the reporter said with a curt smile, turning to face the camera as the 19-year-old centreman skated off to celebrate the win against Halifax with the rest of his teammates.
