Greg_Di 1,024 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Roger landed at LAX and as he left the plane he was greeted by many LA fans asking for the netminders autograph and to take pictures "It was a little crazy but I guess that's LA for you" Roger said to one of the media outlets present at the airport "It's great to see fans excited about the team and the players. I really wasn't expecting such a big welcome as I am new to the league but I guess having that Eagles last name really gets the fans excited. It was fun to see this and I hope I managed to sign everyone's gear" The season is close to starting and Roger Eagles has made the long trip from Rome, where he played in the VHLE, to Los Angeles where he will start his rookie season in the VHL. The young prospect is expected to be in Los Angeles for the foreseeable future and he has decided to purchase a home in Studio City which is about 30 minutes away from the arena. No price was listed but Roger will probably be paying this off for quite some time. This purchases also outlines Roger's commitment to the team that took him 3rd overall and the potential to set down roots. The house is approximately 9000 square feet with 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. A nice pool for relaxing and many updated features. The home is being listed as being build in 2021 "I don't know why this house has so many bathrooms but I will for sure be renovating some of this" Roger said about his purchase " It will be a house where I can relax but at the same time be able to train away from the arena. I definitely don't need 6 bathrooms and will be eliminating some of those to expand the house" "You know, no one from my family has played for LA yet so its nice to be the first one. Our family also doesn't have any academies or hockey schools in this area either so it would be a good city to expand our hockey school after I retire" Roger said as he landed at LAX "I am excited to get going here and see what we can do. I know were still a young team but I think we have a very bright future ahead of us. This season will be a great growing experience and to show our fans what the future may hold. We have a lot of great young talent that is 1-2 seasons away from doing big things and its awesome to be a part of that" Roger Eagles is expected to be the teams started this season and many seasons into the future. He is labelled as a franchise goalie and one of the most talented up and coming prospects in the VHL. It is great to see him actually buying a property vs renting which many new rookies do. It shows that he plans on being in LA for long-term and that it will not just be a pit-stop.
