Ahma 1,428 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) First of all, I’d like to welcome our new GM, Banackock, to Bratislava Watchmen! The VHL Entry Draft was last Saturday. This draft wasn’t as good as some other drafts before, but the top 5 were for sure pretty good. Simon Valmount was drafted 4th overall by Riga Reign. Riga’s General Manager Jim Gow (flyersfan1493) had two first round picks - the 4th pick and 5th. Right after drafting Valmount Riga announced that they will be drafting Le’Sean Coutzen. Two very good players. Drafted! Simon Valmount knew that Riga or Helsinki would draft him, so it didn’t come as a surprise that he was the 4th pick of the draft. Valmount is very happy to be part of an awesome team such as Riga Reign. Although, at the moment Riga’s team is not the best, but we are moving forward and we’ll be a great team in the future, sooner or later. But we do have some good players in the team right now, such as Bernie Gow, Captain Bronson Faux, Jakob Ackerman, Raphael Pettyfer and Griffin Simons. Not to mention Riga’s good prospect pool too. Valmount was spending time with his family in Utsjoki, Finland when the entry draft happened. So, when he heard that Riga Reign had taken Valmount under their organization, he felt joy and excitement. Then Valmount decided to work and train even harder. Hopefully, he will not overwork himself, since Valmount is known for taking somethings a little bit over the limit. You can see Utsjoki’s location on the map. "I’m very glad to be part of Riga Reign. They have been in VHL for a long time and have great history here. Honestly, I feel very comfortable here and I think I will be awesome here in Riga, of course when I get to play with the big boys. Although, Helsinki is Finland’s capital and Finland is my home country, it would have been nice to play in Finland. To be honest, it doesn’t matter almost at all, you know, Utsjoki is my home and it’s a city very far from Helsinki in the northern Lapland. And Latvia is very close to Finland, not a long flight!" Valmount told. When you get drafted 4th overall in a draft class what isn’t the best, everyone expects you to become a spectacular player. There’s lots of pressure on you. Of course, there’s pressure through the whole season before the draft. "I think I can handle the pressure pretty well, but I’m not that sure about it. Luckily, I have nice team mates and a good GM around me so I can be a bit more comfortable. I don’t need to be nervous whole time. I believe that there other draftees who have more eyes set on them. Myself, I think that I’ve been pretty quiet all season long." Valmount comments. "I might be wrong, but I think this may be my last season in the VHLM, I’m not sure. So, I have to do everything to get better and put up a show in the VHLM! I have pretty high expectations for myself. At least I have to do better than last season." Valmount said.

Smarch 3,153 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) I believe you stated you were a bit offset with articles as English is not your first language? I'm just telling you that every article you've written that I've read had been really well written. So keep it up bud!
