evrydayimbyfuglien 600 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 With the recent hullabaloo surrounding the announcement of “Project Two Players,” many player agencies have announced the type of player they’ll be representing as their second player. One agency that has kept quiet so far is the Evryday Player Agency, or EPA. Usually they represent players from abroad. Whether it be Mexico as seen with Fernando Valenzuela, Jr. of the TCBL, Hector Encargo of the GOMHL, or Felipe Rodriguez of the VHL, or Japan with Tsuyoshi Maki also of the TCBL, or Austria with Eugene Feist of the SHL. However, they also have represented one Raymond Blue of the SBA who hails from the Windy City of Chicago. So, too, does Daryl “Double D” Dortch. The power forward winger out of the Uptown neighborhood of the city is about ready to make his VHL debut after playing four seasons with the Robert Morris Colonials just outside of Pittsburgh. Daryl Dortch stands at a towering 6’ 5” and weighs in at just around the 265 lb mark. He plays with reckless abandon and it shows in his stat line night after night. He was part of the number three power play in Division I Men’s Collegiate Hockey going 49 of 173 for a power play percentage of 28.32%, led by Zac Lynch who was fifth in total points with 55 in 39 games and Greg Gibson who was eighth in total points with 51 in just as many games. The Colonials were also ranked third in goals for per game with 4.05 while they were 31st in goals against per game at 2.74, still a difference of over a goal per game. The balanced attack of the Colonials saw four players in the top 50 in points meaning guys on their second line were able to step up as well. Dortch was promoted to the second line his senior year after playing more of a grinder role on the third and fourth lines his freshman through junior season. He was a huge physical presence in front of opposing goaltenders using every pound of his 260-plus pound frame picking up the gritty goals in the high traffic areas. The majority of his goals came from deflections as the big fella has some very impressive stick handling. He has very good hand-eye coordination allowing him to find the puck and get his stick on rebounds right in front of the crease. He knows how to play a physical game without ending up in the sin bin for stupid penalties. Any team looking for a big, power forward need look no further. Daryl Dorth is looking to join the VHL following this coming S50 Trade Deadling where he will play in the VHLM, the VHL’s developmental league. It’s still far too early to predict who will have the top waiver priority but whoever gets the opportunity to claim Dorth will definitely be receiving a project player. It’s unclear how his playing style will translate to the VHLM and eventually to the VHL but the EPA has already had some success transitioning from smaller hockey leagues into the VHLM and VHL so we don’t expect there to be too much of an issue.

Daniel 565 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Has there ever been a more physical draft class than the S52 one will be? Sounds like a good plan for a player there brodie evrydayimbyfuglien 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.sniffuM 1,741 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Well for all my bloviating that Jigglejawns CXXXVII is gonna fuck everyone up, I'm not planning on adding to his checking/strength until he gets to the VHL. Just a heads up. evrydayimbyfuglien 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evrydayimbyfuglien 600 Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 Full Disclosure: I'm still undecided on how I'm going to start building but he'll probably be a goon for a while in the VHLM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
