Player Spotlight – Ray Stanton

 

 

American defenseman Ray Stanton joined the VHL on January 27^th 2024, after his player agent @horoscope singed the twenty-one year old up for the league. After missing out on the VHLM Dispersal Draft Stanton signed a one-year contract with the Saskatoon Wild the same day that he joined the league. Stanton unfortunately didn’t last too much longer after his singing date in Saskatoon, playing in only twenty-games in the bridge city prior to being dealt in a trade to the San Diego Marlins. The trade seemed to ignite Stanton as he would put up over a point per game in the eighteen games played with the Marlins, putting up nine goals and twelve assists in those eighteen games. San Diego and Stanton would head into the VHLM playoffs as the third seed in the North American Conference, where they we lined up to take on the Houston Bulls. Stanton and the Marlins would stumble a bit in the playoffs, eventually bowing out in six games against the Bulls, while Stanton was only able to put up one assist in those six playoff games. Currently in the off-season in the league, Stanton is focused on the upcoming drafts, along with his new management position in the Junior Showcase Tournament where he is the General Manager of the Royals club in the tournament.

 

As we head into draft season, Stanton is currently the thirteenth prospect available in the VHLM Dispersal Draft, twenty-third prospect available in the VHLE Draft and VHL Draft with 174 TPE obtained to date. With all the work Stanton has been putting in, putting his name out there by taking on a management role in the league, it might be a safe bet to make saying he will go much higher than listed in each draft this off-season.
