Blacker First Overall

In The Annual Victory Hockey League Beer Olympics!

While training is of the utmost importance to the Irish forward, young Sean Blacker thought it was necessary to take the good with the bad and participate in the yearly fight for alcoholic supremacy.  Said Blacker during an interview over the weekend, "It's my second job.  I'd be a damn good professional drinker if there was a league."  Leaning over judges with his 6'5" frame, Sean has the build to put down nearly a case of beer in half an hour.  Don't believe him? "It's true, we dared him to one night after beating Moscow.  Those Russians and their watered down brew...  We should have challenged him with a case of porter-style beer," fellow teammate and winger Parechkin explained.

 

Walking up to the Beer Olympics stage as the inaugural pick, Blacker vowed not to let his team down.  "I told my friends, if VHL general managers weren't sure about selecting me, they'd have a much better idea of what I was all about!"

 

Apparently that didn't go over well with a few GM's, who repeatedly called him an 'alcoholic' during a later press conference.

 

Will Blacker's stock slide because of his shenanigans a week prior to the Season 46 VHL Entry Draft?  Previously slotted to go as early as number 5 overall to Riga, it's possible that if Seattle and Toronto don't like his act (holding eight of the top ten picks), he could be without a team come selection Sunday.

 

More to come.
