Claimed:A look at the new King?

[BluObieZ 1,125]

Name: Sir William Covington III

Position: Centre

Age: 20

Height: 6'3

Weight: 222lbs

Handness: Right

Hometown: Las Vegas, NV

 

Sir William Covington III is a rookie in all senses of the word “Rookie” He played his first game of hockey as a “publicity stunt” for the MGM Grand Casino. Then trained with some of the NHL's best recent and past players. William does not have any “in game” experience unless you considered the game at the MGM an actual game. William sure knows how to build up hype around anything that he does so if his VHL career will be anything it will be a “publicity stunt”. For a man that claims to be the rightful king of England it will be very hard for him to top that headline with a hockey career of all things.

 

 

PROS

What can you say about a man that is doing this as a joke? To pass time before taking the throne? Doe he have any pros? I will attempt to come up with some in hopes to make him look slightly good. But I fear that is fighting a uphill battle.

 

Large Frame: Dude is 6'3, 222 pounds to say that he is a monster is an understatement. If and when this monster figures out how to us his big frame to his advantage he can be a deadly threat. If William wants to be a true King he will probably have to develop into a two way centre, because he will have to lead by example, go into the corners and fight for the puck.

 

Leadership: If anything this guy is one good leader, he maybe an asshole in all meanings of the phrase but he sure knows how to lead. He has a large entourage that would follow him into battle anywhere. Wither it be at a club, war or anything. They are willing to die for the “soon to be” King. To get people to be willing to lay their lives down for him, he has to have some leadership skills.

 

Strength: Dude is jacked, he is big and strong. He works out everyday for four hours, he is proud that he has six percent body fat. In games after figures out the fundamentals of hockey in general he will be hard to knock over, out of position, because even if you run into him he will knock you over and look down at you and call you a unworthy peasant. Also William sure loves to fight in public, when he and his entourage go to a bar people get sent to the hospital. Which can help on the ice, when his team needs a boost William can give it to them with his fists.

 

Willing to learn: It may not be a huge “pro” but William is willing to learn the game of hockey. He may lack any experience, but he paid lots of money to get trained by current and past stars. All of whom have said that William may not be anything right now, but if he keeps at it and training like he is right now he can be a “pretty good” player.

 

CONS

 

Lack of any experience: Dude has played in one game of hockey in whole life. It wasn't even a competitive game. It was a “publicity stunt”. There is no word about how many times he fell on his ass but if I had to guess it had to have been a few times. How can William think he can play professional hockey with no hockey experience? How can he expect any team to think he is worthy of using a pick on him?

Too much distraction: Dude calls himself the rightful King of England. He makes it known everywhere he goes. Which means on the ice and at the rink this will follow him everywhere. Which at times can be a good thing, but mostly is a bad thing because it will take away from the team. It maybe good when the team is sucking, but when the team wants to be noticed for something they will always be overshadowed by “The King” and his sideshow

 

Self management: With offers from top agents in the business one would think that he would pick one that can spin his BS and make him look good to get the big bucks from teams. But no William has announced that he will not have an agent because “no one deserves to be the agent of a King” once again this can be a huge distraction.

 

Sense of entitlement: It could be taken either way with him. The dude says he is the King of England even though we all know he is not. He keeps insisting that he is and he will fight to become king till his dying breath. So if he took that approach to hockey he may soon want to be the best which is a good thing because he will train hard... BUT! It might go to his head quick , thinking that he is better then most which skyrockets his contract demands and since he is self managed that can be a huge issue.

 

All in all it is very early in his hockey career to make a judgement but the cons outweigh the pros but mountains. If William trains and puts forward a real effort, maybe just maybe William can be more than a career VHLM player.
