Light Speed Rumours

London, United Kingdom - It was yet another wet and rainy day in London, but in the O2 Arena, temperatures rose with the exciting matchup about to take place. It was game six of the Continental Cup Finals between the hometown's United and the North American's DC Dragons. Not only did this game captivate the home fans, hoping to close the series at home, but it also captivated VHL fans... and other players and notable figures around the league.

 

We had a notable VHL family among fans and other relevant VHL figures hidden discreetly in one of the many luxury suites. Leandro Goncalves, now part of the VSN's game crew, has been a stellar part of this season's broadcasts - but today, it was more like an off day for the former player.

 

With him, we found his sister Catia, the Calgary Wrangler, enjoying her time off after an early playoff exit, and with them, none other than one of the most anticipated prospects we've had around the VHL, Maverick Goncalves.

 

After a game that showed everyone how good the teams that reach the Continental Cup Finals are, the family was reached out to by a few reporters, and of course, all eyes were on the young prospect.

 

Maverick answered a few questions from the reporters, trying to figure out where the former Marlin would head next. Were there any private workouts in line for the Swiss Winger? The answer raised everyone's eyebrows.

 

"I'm not leaving."

 

What could this mean? Sources close to Maverick's camp reported the player could be leaning towards staying in Europe and playing for a VHLE team. Other sources report that Maverick might have already visited some teams around the league - with some reporting the surname coincidence between Maverick's and Zef's, the now Calgary GM who once was part of the management teams in Bratislava and Cologne.
