Break for Eagles

[Greg_Di 1,028]

After starting the first 51 games of the season, Roger, will take a slight break from starting duties and let the backup start some of the next few games.

 

"It's been a hectic start to the rookie season and I think its time for the backup to get some games in" Roger said " this will give me some time to recoup, rest my body and get back in there for the final few games of the season"

 

Roger has had a decent season for a rookie going 16-31-4 with a goals against average of 3.28 and a save percentage of .916 but has fallen out of the rookie race after an initial good start to the season. He has also recorded 1 shut-out so far.

 

"When the season started there was always a chance, I came into the VHL a season early so I knew it would be a tough task but a challenge I enjoyed " Roger said "My goal is to help the LA team back into the playoffs in the next few seasons so missing a rookie of the year trophy is not a big deal, its all about the team and helping us move forward"
