Von Axelberry Loses Concentration

[Gudnason 607]

Earlier we wrote about Vernon Von Axelberry's momentary lapse of concentration in the third period of the preseason exhibition against the Saskatoon Wild that allowed the home team to score twice within 25 seconds. Talking to the undisputed top goalie in the VHLM after the game, we learned that Von Axelberry was made aware during the second intermission that his VHL rights would possibly have been transferred to the Toronto Legion because of administrative issues stemming from the initial paperwork the Seattle Bears had filed with league offices after shockingly taking the goalie ahead of Markus King in the VHL Entry Draft last week.

Von Axelberry said he was just daydreaming for a bit and didn't notice play had entered the Aces' half of the ice after a relatively quiet opening three minutes of the final period. The mess has now been cleared up and Von Axelberry will continue to mind the net for Las Vegas this season, while Seattle will continue to hold his VHL rights for three more seasons.
