Guest Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Michael Clardy meets with fans during a Wrangler Jeans promotion, caught here one of the few times he sat down the entire event CALGARY, AB - Michael Clardy's VHL career has barely begun, but his rise to the top of his draft class is already beginning. After a fervent media craze spread following Clardy's resurgence to predraft workouts and the ever-elegant #ClardyFor1stOVA hashtag was used on every social media site following the VHL, the Texas player heard his name called 9th on draft night for the Calgary Wranglers. Clardy is seen practicing with new teammates the day after the VHL Draft, where he was selected at 9th Overall The American-born defender had some traveling to do this offseason to escalate the drama surrounding his rebirth into the VHL scene, being named Assistant General Manager for his VHLM team, the Moscow Wolves, and then, within hours, was traded as a player to the Bratislavia Watchmen for a 1st round pick in S45. Clardy can still keep his managerial position due to his previous tenure atop the Russian minor league franchise, but the moving stress combined with the usual doubts surrounding a trade were amplifying the amount of pressure that was on the young Houston defender. Clardy took questions from the Bratislavia media when he first came to the Watchmen's practice facility after his trade from Moscow. Clardy wasn't finished. Once back in Bratislavia for his second junior season, the Texan signed 2 major sponsorship deals with unusual companies for a hockey player. The first of these was a car deal with Chrysler Group for 3 years to be plastered on advertisements for the new Jeep Wrangler being released to the Canadian and European markets. The release, which coincides with the start date for the VHLM season, will include advertisements with Clardy driving their Wrangler VHL Edition, which includes better steering control on icy surfaces and different wheel covers with VHL and VHLM team logos on them to coincide with the color options for the interior and exterior. The new 2016 Jeep Wrangler VHL Edition, complete with a Bratislavia Watchmen design The second advertisement came as more of a surprise. Wrangler Jean Company offered Clardy a 3 year deal to exclusively wear Wrangler Jeans during all team travel, speaking events, and in a new series of commercials to release a new cut of jean dubbed the "Skate Cut" jeans line. Similar to how a Boot Cut jean lays on a regular boot, the Skate Cut jeans line, worn by Clardy while playing a pick-up hockey game in the commercials, lays favorably against the contours of the typical hockey skate. Clardy's hockey background is helping Wrangler Jean Company extend its base consumer pool farther north and across the Atlantic, reaching Canadian and European markets. This Media Spot brought to you by the new Wrangler Skate Cut jeans. Wrangler: There's a bit of the West in all of us These endorsements, combined with Clardy's entry level contract, will help the young skater's bank account grow for the next few years, hopefully making him the rich and successful star he came to the VHL to be. Already fan sites have started misspelling Clardy's VHL team to the Clargary Wranglers in anticipation of the phenom making the jump to the big leagues. Hopefully, he seeks to impress in the minors and can stay on for more than 8 seconds with the VHL bull.

DollarAndADream 3,356 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Content: 3/3 - Good stuff here. Clardy should be a force on the ice for Calgary. The Wranglers team was a great start for my own VHL career. Kind of sucked what happened to the Boychuk-era Wranglers.Grammar: 2/2 - "offseason" - off-season. Happens multiple times.Appearance: 1/1 - When organizing your MS, make it look professional as well. Make sure there's a clearly visible and grammatically correct heading, use images, colours and anything else for the most appealing piece of work.Overall: 6/6 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/19517-claimedclardy-starts-his-vhl-career-off-with-a-bang-final-66/#findComment-210749 Share on other sites More sharing options...
