Shayne Gow Hits the Weight Room

[Fire Tortorella 2,653]

After getting the news that he'll be spending a second season in the VHLM, Ottawa Lynx defenseman Shayne Gow has realized that he has to step up his game if he wants to make an impact in the pros. "I know what level of player I can be, and last year, my play and my training habits didn't reflect that. I coasted through natural talent in Season 48, and while I can be somewhat productive of a player in the VHLM doing that, I'll need to improve if I want to be a contributing piece in the VHL. No more half-assing training and coming up with excuses on why I can't get my work done."

 

We'll see if Shayne can keep up the work, but there's no question that he's talented enough. He just needs to find something to keep him motivated, whether that's reaching a certain stat line, winning some individual awards, or comparing his career to cousin/brother/family friend Travis Gownecny.
