Higgins 3,618 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Helsinki Titans scouting Goalies Santeri Heikelä Finland Yukon Rush Heikelä played his junior hockey in his hometown in Finland playing for Jyväskylä. He recently played a backup role in the World Junior Championships for Finland before declaring for the Season 36 VHLM Draft. Heikelä was taken 24th overall by the Yukon Rush and will be looking to play a good portion of the games this season in Yukon as he develops. "At 24th overall the Rush got a steal, we have been watching Heikelä for awhile as he played in Finland for all of his junior career and we have a solid scouting report on him" said Helsinki Titans GM Higgins. Kimmo Salo Finland Oslo Storm Salo is another Finnish goalie prospect that recently declared to play in the VHLM this season. Salo was placed on waivers and currently has a claim by Oslo and Minot, but it appears that Oslo has the higher priority as of right now. Salo is a native of Helsinki and played his junior hockey in the Finnish city. "Our scouts have been able to see a lot of Salo over the past two seasons. We feel he is a project, but has the potential to be a VHL starter in two to three seasons" said Helsinki Titans GM Higgins. Blaine Olynick Canada Bern Royals Olynick is a Canadian born goalie so it is strange that the Helsinki Titans have been scouting him so much. The Titans GM resides in Nova Scotia during the off-season and has close connections to the Halifax Mooseheads organization. Olynick played his junior hockey for Halifax in the QMJHL and was absolutely sensational as he broke multiple records. Olynick was drafted 5th overall by the Bern Royals and has become their starting goaltender for Season 36. "Olynick has shown a work ethic second to none so far. If he keeps it up he will be a starter in the VHL very soon" said Helsinki Titans GM Higgins.

Seth 92 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 A goaltender born in Helsinki playing for the Titans? It makes far too much sense to possibly occur in the VHL!

This was my first player here ever, quite sure you can do the same. Just got to keep motivated and keep doing the weekly tasks and you'll get there.

diamond_ace 3,112 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Well really what I was saying was in response to Corco. You're just the one I happened to quote. The response was more toward the prevailing point in the thread at that time, about Moher/Bagelface/Smyl vs. these three new guys and how up to that point they were forgetting Wahl/Brookside/Szat Jr. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/3548-helsinki-eyes-goalies/#findComment-25372 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomanesEuntDomus 442 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Gonna be interesting to see if those guys are still available when Helsinki gets to pick. They might have to start tanking this season if they want to have a shot at Salo or Olynick Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/3548-helsinki-eyes-goalies/#findComment-25430 Share on other sites More sharing options...
