Ecker exiting scoring slump and other things about him that are going on right now.

[Nathan_8 227]

In recent weeks there has been some buzz around Nathan Ecker and his poor numbers, but as of late he has been providing some elite numbers for the bulls in the playoffs. Ecker's new found stride stated in the last few games of the regular season as he started to get hot around the mid 60 game mark and has carried that momentum through into the second round of the playoffs as of writing this. The Canadian has 8 points in 11 games in the playoffs right now with 5 goals and 3 assists which are pretty good numbers especially considering Nathan has been put in the line blender for a few games in the playoffs going between the first and second line. Ecker has also proved he is a power play specialist with the majority of his points coming with a man advantage.

 

Ecker's newly found stride could show his draft stock for the upcoming VHL and VHLE draft go up. The young winger was a highly touted prospect before his slump which I'm sure depleted his stock but this new hot streak could re - establish his ranking as one of the best prospects for this upcoming draft class. I would say that Ecker's ranking for the draft would be somewhere from early to mid first rounder along with many of his Houston teammates who I see around that range as well.

 

Another thing that could help the skilful wingers draft stocks is the Junior Showcase Tournament where he was drafted to the Yukon Rush as the last pick in the first round at pick number five and will be GMed by Mr. Minion @UnknownMinion. This will be a massive opportunity for the young winger to show his talent and what he can do before the upcoming draft. Hopefully the young man can turn more GM's heads then he has in the VHLM playoffs with his recent form in the JST.

 

Nathan will also be participating in the Victory ProAM tournament we do not know who he will be playing for or playing with at this point but we will hopefully know at some point soon. This tournament also serves as another way the young winger can emerge as a bonafide 1st round pick in the VHL and VHLE draft. This tournament also gives the young Bull a chance to show his stuff against guys who have been in the VHLE and VHL as a preview for the rest of his career at such a young age right at the start of it.

 

Hopefully over the next few weeks before the drafts, the young Canadian can start turning more heads in the hockey world as a top prospect for the VHL if he has not already caught the attention of all the GMs that is.

 

We will be keeping you updated on the career path of Nathan Ecker, his draft stocks, and tournaments he will be participating in as the young wingers career progresses so stay tuned.
