nikkurri17 109 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Two and a half weeks ago, Ontario born defenseman Nik Dufresne wasn't sure what the future had in store for him. Dufrense had surprised many people by joining the VHLM. Most people expected Nik to join his brother Marc in the PHL and that ultimately he would put his name in the hat for the S8 PHL draft. Nik decided to fill out the necessary paperwork to join the VHLM. As a late entry, who joined the league after the draft, Dufresne was exposed to the VHLM's waiver system and he had no idea where he would end up. 24 hours later and Dufresne was a member of the Saskatoon Wild. D Downtown Saskatoon Nik Dufresne was happy with how things ended up working out. He found out that he was joining the Wild from his agent Niklas Kurri. "Hey Nik, congratulations your going to the fuckin' middle of the country to go fishing and play some hockey. You need to get off of your ass and get into shape!" Say's Dufresne's agent, "Your lucky, your going to the best place in the league to keep improving your game. You can become a great hockey player there. Your going to be bored all the fuckin time and pretty much can just focus on improving your game. Yeah sure, there's a lot of people and it's a cool city but there's just honestly not much to do which worked really well for me. I'm a fuckin legend there Nik, They wish they could find somebody who could score goals like me and the boards are the only thing that kept opponents from flying into the crowd when I would check them. Sometimes the boards weren't even enough, I was a fuckin beast Nik! You need to go there and just work your ass off." After Dufresne got off the phone with his agent, Saskatoon General Manager ADwyer would be the next person to get in contact with the Wild's newest defenseman. "Nik, Welcome to the team! Somebody gave some advice and said that you would be worth picking up. Honestly... I have no idea who the fuck you are but I'm happy to have you on board! So your a goaltender right?" And with that Nik was officially on his way to his next journey as a professional hockey player. The Saskatoon Wild are a team on the rise and they will look for Dufresne to further stabilize the teams defense. Dufresne is off to a pretty good start on the ice. Through his first 20 games with the Wild, Dufresne has scored 2 goals, assisted on 5 others and has a very solid plus/minus rating of +12. Dufresne is still developing his game but has shown the ability to do a little bit of everything. Nik has 29 hits showing that he's not afraid to play a physical game.
