Harumpf celebrates his 19th goal on the season for Helsinki.

 

Oskars Harumpf put together a very strong rookie season for the Helsinki Titans in S41 and will now get a chance to play in the VHL playoffs for the first time in his career. The Titan's rookie Alternate Captain transitioned well into a new league and brought a lot of energy and enthusiasm to his team. Coming off an award winning junior season and cup run with Bratislava last year, he went on to help the Titan's to a 42-23-7 record and a 3rd place finish in the European Conference with 91 points. At times during the year Helsinki was in 1st place, but they ended up finishing just 9 points back of the 1st place Reign. Harumpf learned a lot in his rookie season and will take that experience into the playoffs, which are sure to be exciting.

 

Harumpf finished up the regular season with a solid 19 goals and 32 assists for 51 points, which was good for 6th on the team. The Titans leading scorer only had 73 points, so Harumpf should be proud of his performance. As a rookie in the lower scoring European Conference, 51 points is considered pretty darn good and it turns out he was among the top 50 scorers in the entire league this season. Harumpf was also strong in the face off circle, finishing at 55.96% on draws which was good for 10th in the entire league. One of the most surprising stats of his rookie season was his 115 hits. The 5'5" 250 pound Harumpf was not expected to be a physical force, but impressed many players and fans with his natural checking ability. He had the 3rd most hits on the team. Not bad for a guy who can double as an elf for Christmas.

 

Harumpf played consistently well throughout the season, but really picked up his game in the last 10 contests. He was over a point per game in those match ups and is playing the best hockey of his young career heading into the playoffs. Hopefully he can stay hot in the post-season and help Helsinki win a championship. The team will be leaning on him for offense, physical play, face off wins and strong play in the defensive zone. Harumpf is ready for the challenge and word around the league is he has still not washed his hockey pants. Opposing players have been put on notice.

Helsinki will be a force in the playoffs with soiled pants Harumpf being the possible x-factor. High end players like James Faraday, Don Draper, Willem Jansen, Naomi Young and Jackson Miller will be leading the charge on offense. Harumpf and other young up and comers like Tyson Stokes and King Czar will provide depth scoring and of course there is Jake Wylde destroying everyone from the blue line and Chris Raymond setting people up for goals. Goalie Kimmo Salo should be able to hold down the fort and we like Helsinki's chances to represent the European Conference in the VHL Finals.

 

Harumpf has been to 2 finals in his 2 seasons in junior, so odds are he will appear in his 3rd straight championship series, this time in the VHL. The little big man has already defied incredible odds, so we would not be surprised to see him win the cup in his rookie season.
