Vancouver Looks Ahead

[Girts 829]

It was a decent season for the rebuilding Vancouver Wolves who ended up narrowly missing the playoffs even after becoming sellers early on in the season. With a record of 28-35-9 they finished with 65 points only 3 points back of the final playoff spot in the North American Conference. Not bad for a team that had 5 rookies and only one real superstar player Liv Slater for most of the season. What the Wolves do have is numerous budding stars on the roster who all turned in strong rookie seasons and make up a great core group to build around. Logan Ninefingers, #1 draft pick in last seasons draft, led the way with 32 goals, 63 points and 242 hits, this guy is a future mvp for Vancouver. Riley Martin wasn't far behind with 29 goals, 55 points and 321 shots, he super skilled and will form a dangerous tandem offensively for years to come with Logan. Behemoth bruising defenseman Guntis Gavilrovs is going to make everyone hate playing against Vancouver with his 253 hits, 191 pims and 164 blocks to go along with 35 points, this beauty plays a mean game. Fellow rookie dman Vlad Von Carstein flashed his offense in a big way with 45 points and showed a strong two way game with 153 blocks as well, this guy can do it all.  Young goaltender Dalkr Vidarsson held the Wolves in many games this season and turned in good numbers with a .913 SV% and 25 Wins, defnitely the goalie of the future for Vancouver! Many other Wolves players contributed good seasons as well, this is just a snippet of the young core that should lead the way for years to come. Like a wolf on a fresh kill, Management is salivating over these guys potential.
