Roger Eagles Rookie experience

[Greg_Di 1,028]

The draft ended with Roger Eagles going 3rd overall to the Los Angeles Stars. A great city that breeds superstars in all sports and one of the cities that the Eagles dynasty has not yet played for.

After the draft festivities ended, Roger, had a discussion with his GM Zack about the role he will play in the upcoming season. The answer was that Roger will be playing in the VHL and starting his rookies season in the next few weeks. The ultimate decision was left to Roger and noticing that LA did not yet have a set goalie, the decision was an easy one to make.

 

Many believe that Roger is ready to be a starting goaltender in the league and may potentially challenge for a rookie of the year award. There will be many great candidates this season and should lead to a exciting race.

 

" I was thrilled to be selected by Los Angeles as I believe they have a great up and coming team that could be a dynasty in the next few seasons and excited to be trusted by the team to be their goalie of the future" Roger said during his post-draft interview " My goal is to help the team win and eventually compete for that continental cup. As mentioned in pre-draft interviews the ultimate goal is to make it to the hall of fame and I hope to start off on the right foot this upcoming season. I have been training hard and can't wait for my debut"

 

Roger is no stranger to coming into a league under experienced but playing like he belongs. He recently completed a stint in the VHLE as an under experienced goalie and beat out much more experienced goalies for the Orion D H Cheister IX trophy which is awarded to the best goalie in the VHLE.

 

"I plan on reproducing that effort into the VHL. I think this will be a rookie season for the ages and the rookie of the year race will be an exciting one. I know some of my rivalries from the VHLE will also be making their debuts in the VHL this season and while they may be more seasoned, I believe I have the bigger ambition to be one of the all-time greats" Roger continued " It will also be very exciting to play on a team with young, hungry players who are all looking to make their mark known in the league. This was an absolutely great fit and I can't wait to get the season going"
