Player Spotlight – Reona Kirishima

@KRug

 

The eighteen-year-old Japanese born winger joined the VHL on March 20^th, 2024, and is still getting accustomed to the ways of the VHL. The Saskatoon Wild quickly jumped at the chance to sign Kirishima after they joined the league, signing the winger to a one-year contract for the remainder of the Season Ninety-Three VHL season. The youngster also quickly jumped into training and introduced himself to the media in Saskatoon with a press conference shortly after joining the league just two days ago.

 

 

Kirishima was able to join the Wild prior to the start of the season and was able to dress for both games for the Wild. While Kirishima wasn’t able to get onto the scoresheet yet in those two game, it wasn’t for a lack of trying as the winger put up 5 shots and four hits in those two early season contests. Now with a taste of the VHLM under his belt, the Wild are hoping for big things this season from the rookie forward, and with a strong forward core around him already in the bridge city, hopefully Kirishima will be able to learn somethings and put up many points.

 

We wish Kirishima the best of luck in his first season in the league and hope to see him putting out point task after point task each week, or even claiming welfare to continue on his path to greatness in the VHL.
