Maverick Goes 4th Overall

[Dmoushey_31 106]

Jordan Maverick came into the league late last season and proved he belonged. There were rumors he could go as high as the #2 pick, but also that it was defintely possible that he ended up a 2nd/3rd round pick. Obviously, he was unsure where he would end up!

 

Maverick anxiously waited to hear his name announced for the S45 VHLM Entry Draft. The team he had played with through the end of S44, Bern Royals, had 3 out of the first 4 picks. After the first 3 picks were announced, Maverick still had hopes that he could end back in the locker room he became adjusted to.

 

"With the 4th overall pick in the S45 VHLM Draft, the Bern Royals select... left winger, Jordan Maverick!"

 

Relieved and happy, Maverick walked across the stage to reclaim the jersey he had played in last season. After shaking hands and a few photos, Jordan was available for a quick interview:

 

-How does it feel to be a 1st round pick?

"It feels awesome! Really excited to have been taken so high in the draft. I'm looking forward to proving myself worthy of this selection."

 

-You're heading back to Bern where you played last season, they must have thought highly of your perfromance.

"I couldnt be any happier than to go back to the place that took a chance on me from the get-go. The entire team helped me develop as a player. There were a lot of stressful times with how the season went... but this season should be quite a bit different"

 

-Some high-quality players were taken by Bern in the draft. How competitive will the team be this season?

"Well, honestly we could'nt be any less competitive than how we were last season. Our locker room is buzzing and we have a team that really wants to push for a Championship. The energy around the team is completely different than it was last season, and with the guys we have now, I think there's a real chance we will suprise some people!"

 

-Thank you for your time Jordan and congratulations on being the 4th overall pick!

"Thank you!"
