Halifax 21st SuperSailor #3 (S93 Week 3): Dorji Khan

[LucyXpher 1,409]

If you go to the VHL Portal home page, you will see that the player currently leading the entire VHL community in TPE earned this week is Dorji Khan @Oddpurplefly.  Seeing an off-ice opportunity to take a step forward in his development, the menacing Mongolian took a giant leap this week claiming 31 TPE!  At 6'8" and 240 pounds, you will be hard pressed to find a more intimidating player in the VHLM than the hard working 19 year old who credits his farm work as a boy for his incredible strength on the puck and tenacious play.  Drafted 52nd overall by Halifax in the S93 Dispersal Draft, he came into this season still a very raw talent.  As the season has progressed, he has really come into his own and is becoming a force to be reckoned with on the Halifax wing.  As a versatile player, Khan is able to slot in up and down the Halifax lineup and is comfortable playing on both wings, though he is a natural left winger. His effort off the ice and results on the ice have impressed Halifax management so much that he's getting some run on the top line right now and is up to 11 points in 47 games played. That's a number that is sure to increase, if not double, by season's end.

 

Interestingly enough, while Khan is admittedly still an up and coming talent, he has the most VHLM playoff and championship experience on the Halifax roster.  As a late season call-up, Dorji Khan was a part of the Founder's Cup winning Philadelphia Reapers and played all 16 games for them en route to a finals victory.  Though Khan only had 1 point in those 16 games, the experience gained from being so deep in the playoffs on a championship winning team will no doubt be invaluable to him and the 21st as he figures to be a much more important player to his team this time around. 

 

For all his hard work and leadership around the team this past week, Dorji Khan has been named the Halifax 21st SuperSailor for S93 - Week 3.
