S98 Vancouver Wolves Jersey Retirement

The Vancouver Wolves announced today the jersey retirement of Liv Slater @Subject056 at our home opener versus the Chicago Phoenix in Season 98.

 

Vancouver acquired Liv from Chicago during the Season 89 off-season, she was coming off a strong rookie performance for the rebuilding Chicago Phoenix. Slater came to Vancouver with the promise of being the next star defender as Pierre Emile Bouchard neared retirement. She had a modest start in Vancouver playing behind some future hall of famers. In her first season Liv put up 44 points and Wolves made the playoffs. Shortly after Vancouver lost then goalie Brandt Fuhr to retirement, so the GM decided to enter a rebuild. Slater proving her loyalty to the franchise would stick through the rebuild and help the Wolves enter contention once again. Her best season was Season 92 where she put up a whopping 36 goas, which is still the highest goal total of any defender in the hybrid era (S83 to present). She would go on to take home all three defender awards (Valiq, Wylde and Labatte), despite Vancouver missing the playoffs. The Wolves would return to relevancy again in Season 94 and Liv Slater would ultimately help them win the Continental Cup in Season 96. Slater was what Vancouver Wolves should strive to be on and off the ice. Her name will be synonymous with the Wolves for generations to come as one of, if not the greatest female defender in VHL history. We also believe she'll get the call to the hall of fame in the future, the sooner the better.
