Digg 28 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Luke Matthews Jersey Number: 2 Height: 6"1 Weight: 200lbs Birthplace: Buffalo, New York Background: Luke Matthews just turned 18, he is now eligible for the VHLM (Victory Hockey League Minors). Matthews last season with his Midget AAA Buffalo Colts team was a two-way defender leading his team to a state championship. Luke Matthews now sets his sights to the VHLM Waiver thread where he was told to report to Yukon to play for the Gold. Now lets look at the pros and cons of Luke Matthews as he heads into his first season in the VHLM. Pros: Puck Movement Luke Matthews is a very mobile defensemen. Having to move the puck well all his life while playing on dead weight teams. He is the slam dunk number one Quarterback for a power play. He always makes that first pass to start the play or to get it out of the zone with a far side pass. He is smart with the puck. He has never given an up the ass pass in years ever since Peewee. He has smartened his game since then and has been a perfect polished puck mover. Hockey Sense: He has become a defensive and offensive wizard. He knows when to sprawl like a rocket backwards into the goalie to make that blocked pass. He knows when to block a shot and turn back to the back of the net and make that heads up play to break it out. He knows if he should take a wrist shot or a slap shot or make that move around the player and take a quick snapshot. Whether to pass it or dump it in, he's got it all. Leadership: He is a leader. He knows what to do in bad situations on and off the ice. He is very mature for his age and that pushes development nowadays. He calms the boys when they need it. He is a big reason why the Buffalo Colts were so dangerous in championship situations. He has this superpower to calm his teammates. They won every tournament they were in because other teams had jitters and they just kept on rolling. Cons: Physique: Matthews never had many opportunities to up his physique to the next level. He kept his body active and is well built but hasn't really taken the route in training that this league requires. If he takes the time and works, his endurance and overall strength will increase. He'll be ready for VHL action when it comes his way. Coolness: Luke Matthews isn't very cool. He always was practicing his skills in hockey or studying for his next test to stay strong in his grades. He never partied but enjoyed it when he had time. Instead of wearing the classical Nike flats he would wear Gongshow flip flops with a beach bum outfit. (I have no idea what to write for cons) Media Presence: Matthews takes over Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada. I would like to ummm congratulate the boys ummmmm on their ummm hardwork ummm. Luke Matthews needs a brush up on the media as he is not the best public speaker but it will improve over time as he takes the VHLM by storm.
