Meet the Yukon Rush's Front Lines

 

 

#9  |  C - Jacob Winters

Madison, WI, USA

 

In Season 42, the Yukon Rush went up to the podium to select 29th overall. They selected a strong centre out of Wisconsin to bring some size and strength up the middle. Subsequently the Riga Reign had about the same idea, also selecting Winters 29th overall in the 3rd round of the Season 42 VHL Entry Draft. However, since his draft year, Winters has stagnated, unable to get a foothold in the VHLM, and definitely hasn't warranted a promotion to the VHL. Despite being the only natural centre on the squad for a majority of the season, Winters has not been trusted as the number one centre on the roster, instead playing in a secondary role. He has put up respectable numbers despite the lower playing time, but isn't going to make waves if he continues on this trajectory in his career

 

 

 

#47  |  C - Maxime Perron

Saint-Étienne, France

 

A new addition to the Rush roster, Perron has yet to play his first VHLM game. Only with the team until the end of the season, where he will join the VHLM Dispersal Draft, he looks to make a name for himself early on. Recently out of Harvard, Perron has a blend of hockey IQ and scoring touch that teams covet, and the Rush were lucky enough to get a claim on the kid before another team could. Expect him to get a few games in on the top line in Yukon to end out the season and watch out for him going into Season 43.

 

 

 

#69  |  RW - Doug Glatt

Halifax, NS, Canada

 

Doug Glatt declared for the VHLM slightly after the draft happened, but before the season started, making him eligible to be picked up for this full season. He will be a draft eligible player in Season 43 for both leagues, but he isn't showcasing himself as a force for the future of the VHL. Originally picked up by Ottawa, Glatt played a reduced role on a deep Ottawa roster. After only amassing 11 points in 27 games and a dreadful -13, Glatt was traded to Yukon along with a pick for George Patton. Signifying a move to a bigger position for Glatt, he started posting 20+ minutes a night. Since the trade Glatt has gone on to post 22 points in 28 games on the Rush. However, Glatt will have to do more to solidify himself as a strong choice for a team in the upcoming VHL Draft.

 

 

 

 

#68  |  RW - Alex DeLarge

Yonkers, NY, USA

 

A 33rd overall pick by Yukon in Season 41, DeLarge is now property of Toronto in the VHL but doesn't look to be on his way to making the team any time soon. Currently in his 3rd season in the minors, DeLarge has had a tough time putting up points, and has sat on the bench quite a lot this season, only tallying about 14 minutes a game. With 31 points in 55 games this season, he isn't exactly helping the team much up front. This isn't helped by the fact that he hasn't produced in the defensive zone, or been overly physical. DeLarge will have some trouble ever making it past the VHLM, but right now he is part of Yukon's depth

 

 

 

#64  |  RW - Markus Muller

Cologne, Germany

 

Yukon's bread and butter is German sniper Markus Muller. With 117 points in 55 games, Muller is dominate force driving the Rush offense. Drafted by his hometown of Cologne in Season 41, Muller has yet to actually break into the VHL. Unknown whether that opportunity will arise, Muller is trying to make a name for himself in the VHLM by leading the team by over 75 points. Watch for him to end out this season on a high note with the acquisition of Perron into the centre position on the first line.
