VSN Scouting Presents: S93 First Gen Player Review

[Will3 460]

The recent influx of new first-generation players has everyone in the VHL Scouting Department super excited. These new players are the lifeblood of the VHL, bring hope to much of the VHLM team management, and are so important in keeping this hobby we all enjoy going. What better way to celebrate the arrival of these new faces than to give a spotlight to the best of these future stars in the various spots on the ice. Enjoy this review of the top first-generation players of S93 at every position.

 

Starting from the back line for a change, the best 1st generation goaltender of S93 is Ondrej Vencko @Mutti. The twenty-two year old Czech netminder has been producing solid numbers for a for a player just starting off. In thirty-seven games played this season Ondrej has produced nineteen wins, thirteen losses and three overtime losses with a save percentage of 0.884 and 3.17 goals against average. His play has the Houston Bulls believing that they can compete in the competitive Western Conference. Ondrej also seems to have a local tabloid called the Houston Gossiper following him around and covering his exploits around his new home. Ben Icio del Torro 's reporting is solid if somewhat invasive, so follow them if you want to know everything about the next great prospect goaltender. Other 1st gen netminders in this draft class include Connor Hellebuyck @HockeyFan4Life and ryeley michel bias @logQ.

 

Moving up to the blueline S93's best 1st generation defender is Benjamin Abenduct @Schnee. The sixteen year old American has been playing like an established veteran in only his first season of VHLM play. In fifty-two games this season, Benjamin has produced twenty goals and forty-two assists for sixty-two points with five game winning goals and eleven power play goals and one hundred and forty-four hits. Another new player from that young and rising Houston Bulls squad, this prospective player has the raw numbers and ability to be put in the discussion for at least top five over pick. No matter where he ends up the expectations for Benjamin will be high. But if he can continue to produce as he currently has been able to, he will be starting VHL player in no time. Other 1st gen defensemen in this draft class of note include Gul Dukat @MSouthworth(), Ray Stanton @horoscope, Carson Tripp @Cartripp14, and Cody Toland @ctoland102.

 

Up to the wings to see who the best 1st generation left winger of S93 is. That player in my opinion is UghSike @UghSike. The nineteen year old Irishman originally signed to play for the Saskatoon Wild only to be recently traded to the Miami Marauders in a bittersweet move. In the fifty-six games played in, Ugh has scored twenty-three goals and twenty-eight assists for fifty-one points. The young man from Cork produced good, solid numbers on a clearly tanking Wild side. We can only hope the transition to a stronger, more competitive Marauders team will result in a better prospect who is able to handle the chaotic life of a VHLE or VHL player. Other 1st gen left wingers in this draft class of note include Filip Zinek @FiZi, Kevin OConnor @Luke033, and Juslaf Rajskovky @karamikarusai .

 

 Sliding across to the right wing, the best 1st generation player in that position is Trimiskez Artav @jake. The eighteen-year-old from Greenland (We meet again, cold rock) is the best player out of the batch of 1st gens learning the game togther in Houston. In fifty-six games Trimiskez has produced thirty-one goals and thirty-eight assists for a nice sixty-eight points. It is hard to think that this kid is a first gen player when he plays like an established veteran. He is likely to have eighty points and might just get close to one hundred points by the time the season is over. For me there is no question that this kid is the first overall pick. The mix of skills and stats on a first generation player has me believing that Trimiskez is the most sought after prospect in the VHL today. Other 1st gen right wingers in ? draft class of note include Annie Oaks @Noodle Enjoyer, Nathan Ecker @Nathan_8, Leon Bruhmaninho @BigBruhman, Oliver Loo @Peiffy, and Jack Dickins @Mystery_boy98.

 

Ending in the middle leaves us at the center. There Tyler Lawson @Nyx  can be found for he is the best 1st generation center of S93. This nineteen year old American can be found, like most players mention in this article, playing for the First Gen Development Team also known as the Houston Bulls. The Poway, California native and UCLA alumni has sixteen goals and twenty-four assists for forty points in forty games. On a team loaded with first generation talent, this is the kid that is underrated. He is a glue guy, the type of player that can bind a line together. VHL GM's love having this type of player in their system. This prospect should be selected in at least the first two rounds. Others 1st gen centers in this draft class of note are Aiden Paige @Apaige131, Isaak Robinson @isaak, and Gavin Bebard @Gavin Bebard.

 

The flyover of the S93 1st generation players is now over. If a worthy player was forgotten, by all means shout them out in the comments section below. To all first-generation players, I wish you nothing but the best of luck and I hope you time in the game is fun and long so that this hobby can continue for years to come. To season one hundred and beyond! For VSN Scouting this is @Will3 signing off.
