JumpierPegasus 52 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 "You can't do it without everyone working their hardest, and that's why we are advancing to the Finals because we are a team of the hardest workers in the league" -- Golden Jedtsson, 2015 The Drive to Win The season for both the VHL and VHLM are winding down and drawing to a close. Teams in the VHLM are in the finals and teams in the VHL have entered them as well. It is an exciting time as we will witness the Cologne Express face the Seattle Bears, and in the VHLM we get to witness two powerhouses go up against one another in Brampton and Bern. What qualities does a Championship caliber team possess? Well look no further than the Brampton Blades When this team is firing on all cylinders they are easily the top team in the league. They have character, strength, offensive and defensive prowess. Kyanon and Teibert drive the offense along while captain Golden Jedtsson acts as a rock on defense. But even outside of their top players their character players have a fire that pushes them to support the team in a way no other team has replicated in the VHLM this season. Phil Hamilton, Le'Sean Coutzen, and Maxime Perron are players who each separately have qualities that make the team as a whole better. Hamilton's defensive capabilities mixed with his wicked breakout pass drives the offense along on odd man rushes. This opens up the game for the entire team to use their speed to blast other teams defenders and has been a main component of their wins in the playoffs so far. Coutzen has been a delight to Brampton thus far this season, really coming along and performing well in a second line role. His all around offensive game has proven beneficial in the offensive zone. A guy who is willing to take the hit in the corner to get the puck out to a good location. He also has a knack for finding the open spot in the slot to utilize his great hand-eye or a solid shot. Then there is Perron who has the ability to score from almost anywhere. Fast and one of the strongest players on offense, he is a sniper who can act as a power forward. Best trait is finding a spot in the high slot and getting a one time pass. He can use his frame and strength to put himself in position and shed off a defender even without the puck. Tfong has again put together a team with all the right pieces. It is a wonder how long it will take him to earn a GM spot at the VHL level that he rightly deserves. Understanding how complimentary players are just as important as top end prospects, this team has one of the best crops of rookies in the VHLM that compliment those 2nd and 3rd year players on the squad. This team has been next to unbeatable during the season, and are looking for a good series with Bern. Expect the top players to continue dominance, while the other pieces perform admirably and make sure GM's take notice of their ability and championship experience Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/21052-the-drive-to-win-final-66/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
