Dmoushey_31 106 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Jordan Maverick is Quietly Having a Career Season June 7th, 2016 Associated Press Jordan Maverick celebrates after a goal "Jordan Maverick" may not be a household name around the VHL, but he is certainly starting to turn heads in Riga. Now, the Reign aren't looking like the greatest team on the planet right now and currently hold a 9-22-5 record while placing 4th in the European Conference. However, they are only 4 points behind the last playoff spot, currently owned by the Titans. Maverick is a big reason as to why the Reign still have a chance at seeing post-season action. After 36 games played, Maverick has 12 goals and 21 assists for 33 points, which is good for 2nd on the team. He also brings a big physical presence to the game, throwing out 104 hits, while only being hit 69 times himself. He creates plenty of turnovers and scoring chances going the opposite way. He was given more responsibility this season and has been on the first line for most of the entire season. While Riga is a young and developing team, Maverick hopes to be a player that can lead by example and help drive his team forward for a hopeful playoff appearance. At the end of last season, Maverick had 19 goals and 26 assists for 45 points. He is on pace to set new personal records for goals, assists, points and hits this season. Maverick was asked recently about his performance so far this season. "I'll be honest, for awhile I was just going through the motions of being a new player on a struggling team. For most of my career, I feel like the teams I've been on didn't have high aspirations and just weren't able to find the edge or stride or whatever it took to be more than just competitive. So, I decided recently that instead of just sitting back and observing, that I would take it upon myself and make sure that I was not the reason my team wasn't winning. I focus more in practice and am the first was on the ice and last one off. I normally have the backup goalie stay after practice now so that I can work on my shot, deflections, and a few other things. I'm hoping that the things I do now set an example for my team and maybe even inspire others to give it their all as well." Jordan Maverick signed a 3 year contract at the beginning of the season in hopes that his dedication will inspire others to join, whether it be from within, or via trades and free agency. He has stated that he would ultimately like to fulfill his contract in Riga, but also wants to play for a winning team. Hopefully, he will be able ti do both! We are starting to see more Maverick jerseys in the stand as fans love his two-way ability, his knack for making a timely assist, and for his bone-crushing hits. Look for Maverick to keep getting better over the next few seasons as he has a shot of becoming more well-known league-wide! eaglesfan036, NotAVHLM-GM and Victor 3 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/31181-claimedmaverick-career-season/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
