Player Spotlight - Benjamin Abenduct

 

The sixteen-year-old defenseman from Oshgosh Ontario joined the VHL on January 12^th, 2024, after being declared for the league by his player agent @Schnee. The 6’1 250-pound defenseman was able to join the Houston Bulls shortly after the conclusion of the Season Ninety-Two VHLM Dispersal Draft, in which he signed a one-year 1.5-million-dollar contract with the Bulls to appear with the team for the entirety of the Season Ninety-Two VHLM season. Safe to say, but Houston must be very pleased with the transaction, as Abenduct has been lights out for the Bulls so far in forty-eight games played. Abenduct has put up seventeen goals and forty-two assists in those forty-eight games played, which are great numbers for a first generation player in the league.

 

Off the ice Abenduct has been putting up great practice numbers with 177 TPE earned to date, which puts him at the third most TPE amongst VHLM Season Ninety-Three draft eligible players. With a few weeks remaining until the conclusion of the season, the Bulls are hoping that Abenduct can help the team pull ahead of the San Diego Marlins for a better seeding in the VHLM post-season, but regardless if they do that or not, Abenduct has to be extremely impressed with his first season in the VHLM. We wish the youngster all the best as he heads into the final stretch of year one and cannot wait to see what the next few seasons bring for the young defenseman.
