Player Spotlight: Rip Wheeler

[Scurvy 1,486]

After an up and down career Wolves’ forward Rip Wheeler @ScottyP is on pace for some career bests, stat wise.  In his second season with the Vancouver Wolves, Rip has become a great locker room presence and has been a good earner trying to do his part to get the Wolves to a Cup win. 

 

Last season he was a solid first line player, scoring 31g 46a 77pts and 7 game winning goals and 6 power play goals. 

 

This season he has been a goal scoring machine with 19g 19a- 38 points and 87 hits in 32 games.  He continues to be deadly on the power play with 6 so far and 2 game winners.  

 

The Wolves are going to need him to continue his scoring as they try to gain ground in the NA conference where there are some tough teams like Toronto, Chicago, and Seattle all vying for the top spot.
