When it comes to players to keep your eyes on, Sven Wolf should definitely be on your radar and most likely could be a member on your "top 5" list of players currently pushing to go 1st overall in the upcoming draft. If he isn't, you should head back to your list, get out your white out and find a way to ink him down. While he we unknown to the VHLM and VHL as of last week, he's recently came into the leagues with fire and has made it his mission to truly become a top prospect and draftee candidate. Although he is newer to the league than most, his skill level is much the same and is already higher than some of those who have had a little more time to develop. Wolf is one of the most consistent goalies currently in the game today with a work ethic that really raises him above the group. He's a team first kind of guy looking to make it big and honestly, we think he's going to do just that.

 

Sven Wolf Player Ratings 

PROS

 

1. Work Ethic - Wolf has the tendency to over do himself and that's simply because the kid has no limits. He knows where he wants to be and that's to make it big in the VHL. Right off the bat, he jumped into the VHLM training facilities and has proven that he's already stronger than a majority of the VHLM prospects. His efficient and consistent training and determination to become better is something that's going to set him apart from the other draftees who fall to "average".

 

2. Consistency in performance - Wolf's game, since young, has always been consistent. Throughout his junior years in Sweden, he has played on another level than most the player in the league and around his age. Game after Game, he finds a way to keep a level head and to not let things play on his mind. He posts strong numbers 90-95% of the time and for a young guy, that's pretty impressive.

 

3. Loyalty - Sven Wolf spent his entire career with one junior team. At one point, the team went through a rebuild and despite tough times seeming to come, he asked to stay with the team. Although no championship that season, they somehow managed to stay in the season until the second round of playoffs. Along with that, Wolf has also released a statement stating he'd be happy to go to a rebuilding team in the VHL, so as long as they remained loyal to him for his career and that they'd work together to form a dynasty. While he is willing to, he's unsure of playing behind someone - especially if it's for more than one season.

 

CONS

 

1. He doesn't pull out - Poor sexual innuendo aside, he doesn't take too kindly to being pulled in a game unless it's absolutely need it. During a playoff game last season, the team was up 4-3 in the 3rd period with 4 minutes to play. During that time, the opposing club scored and Wolf was yanked. Wolf went straight to the coach and had a heated exchanged of words. Although it may seem bad, at least the kid has passion and when it comes to goaltending, the position takes a lot of energy and skill. He deserved the game and was pissed. We'd be too!

 

2. He Enjoys The Spotlight/Tries too hard sometimes - While this always isn't a bad thing, it can be a ticking time bomb for a lot of goalies considering the stress level and importance of the position. His goal is to win and be the best possible goalie he can be. His goal is to be number one and he's willing to put in the work to achieve that. His goal is to win every award and to win as many championships as possible. However, with ones expectations comes ones disappointment. Often though, he channels it into something positive but it can affect him for a few games.

 

3. He has his eyes on a certain VHL team and is Unhappy in the VHLM - Could this be a red flag? Honestly, it's too hard to say. It's okay for players to be unhappy ona  team and it's obvious young players always have favorite places to goalie. For a goalie, it's the best option to where they're needed. Although Wolf is unhappy on a struggling, weaker Brampton Blades, he would never ask to be dealt. It's his organization. He respects that and is honored for the opportunity.

 

OVERALL

As we stated earlier in the review/profile, Sven Wolf is one of the biggest players in our minds to currently watch. He entered the league early on but currently is near the top of the pack for skill set. Along with that, his cons are very minor, especially when compared to his pro traits. We feel as though this is not a player that's going to slow down anytime soon and you can expect him to reach "elite status" sooner rather than later. This is a goalie that has the Aidan Shaw trophy written all over him and is definitely a goalie that VHL teams should have on their lists.
