Gavilrovs Named to All-Rookie Team

[Girts 841]

Vancouver Wolves hulking rookie defenseman Guntis Gavilrovs was named to the VHL All-Rookie Team this week! He joins lothario teammate Logan Ninefingers and recent former teammate Vlad Von Carstein who were both given the All-Rookie honor as well! An exceptional showing for the Wolves rookies in season 93 and we're sure Riley Martin was in consideration as well. Goes to show how great Vancouver GM's did in the S92 draft and what a bright future this organization has, even with recent moves to more of a win now line up they did not sacrifice the future. Let's focus on Gavilrovs for a second though, it's nice to see a player with his type of game get recognized. He was dominant as a rookie with hits (253) and blocks (164) and contributed well offensively with 35 points, including 7 goals. Coming off a season in the VHLE that saw him win defenseman of the year, it's a great sign to follow this up with an All-Rookie team nomination, especially with only 2 defenseman being named. Sky is the limit for this bruising beauty and we expect big things in the coming seasons from Gavilrovs, as well as Ninefingers, Martin and even Carstein wherever he is playing.
