Finally Being Noticed. 

 

To be in the big leagues. A lot of people look at it as a dream rather than a passion. For Ottawa Lynx's Pablo Escabar this is not the case.  Pablo has been fighting in the minors for quiet a few years now. It has actually been so many years that we have lost track. At first Pablo was used as extra weight, or a tough guy if you would. When ever the big named stars of the team would get hit or even bullied it was Pablo's job to rough them up and make them want to never do it again. Pablo got incredibly good at it. Almost to good at it, to the point that he was getting too comfortable. Unfortunately in the minors when you get too comfortable the coaches and scouts tend to see it. They like to see the hard working and always hungry players that won't stop for anything.

 

 

After a few years in the minors Pablo started to realize that his game needed to be stepped up a notch. Very soon, Pablo was the leading shot blocker in the league and had a missile of a shot. Players would literally jump out of the way of his shot because they were afraid of being hit by it. I truly do not blame them, that shot could rip your leg off. One of Pablo's strong assets on the ice is easily his awareness, he can set up plays from the point probably more than likely blind folded. Pablo's favourite thing to do is throw his giant body in front of the opposing team's net, blocking the goaltender's sight and pushing around their defenders.

 

With the S43 Victory Hockey League draft coming up in a few weeks, scouts and general managers have definitely seen Pablo Escabar's magic on the ice. Some of the managers have got in touch with Pablo. Others have been in the shadows watching from the side. This will definitely be a draft for Pablo to remember for the rest of his life as he has been working his tail off. Currently Pablo is sitting in fourth in the standings, but is striving to be in third or maybe even second when the draft arrives.

 

We managed to catch Pablo after a game on his way out of the arena and we asked him what his thoughts were about the draft. The answer we got was inspirational:

 

The draft has so many different effects on people. It can be very nerve racking, or it can be very exciting. It can make you very happy or very sad. Most of all it can change your life forever. The draft decides where you take your life next. Where your new adventure begins and where your old one ends.

 

Pablo Escabar's words touched a lot of people. They are still talking about them across all sports channels and stations worldwide. Pablo is super excited to find out where his journey will take him and who he will meet along the way. Although like all hockey players dreams, Pablo Escabar can't wait or even think about how the feeling will be when he lifts the Championship cup in the Victory Hockey League.
