Player Spotlight – Gabriel Finley

@burritohour

Nineteen-year-old Canadian forward, Gabriel Finley joined the VHL on April 5^th, 2024. Shortly after joining the league Finley joined the Miami Marauders for the final thirty-four games of the VHLM regular season. Finley had a decent first half of the season with Miami as he was able to put up seven goals and thirteen assists, which are decent numbers for a team that missed the VHLM playoffs this past season. With Miami missing the playoffs, it gave Finley a lot of time to work on his game in advance of the upcoming VHLM, VHLE and VHL drafts.

 

Speaking of the drafts, Finley has already been selected in both the VHLE and VHL drafts that took place already this off-season. Finley was drafted twenty-eighth overall by the Vasteras Iron Eagles in the VHLE Entry Draft and thirty-third overall by the Malmo Nighthawks in the VHL Entry Draft. With the VHLM Dispersal Draft still upcoming, the team that Finley will likely play on in Season Ninety-Four has yet to be decided.

 

Finley has been earning TPE consistently since joining the league at the beginning of April however, the young forward is still leaving some easy TPE on the table each week and we hope he’ll be able to join outside welfare and the practice facility more as his career progresses. We of course will be more than happy to help the youngster if he needs any advise moving forward.
