suggestiveavocado 13 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Carryl and Darryl Took pose together for the local newspaper christmas edition. - The Twins - Darryl and Carryl have been twins since the day they were born. Which was on the same day in the same year. Today we`ll mostly be looking at Darryl and his road to the VHL. The sport of hockey runs through the blood of the twins as their father Garryl was one of the founding fathers of the New Zealand Ice Hockey League. Garryl was also a player in the league for the Canterbury Red Devils and is their all time goal leader. Growing up so closely to the game influenced the twins greatly and as such they both started playing hockey as soon as they could. Both joining the Canterbury Ice Pups. They however didn't follow the steps of their dad the offensive forward. Carryl played defense right from the get go and was known for being a physical player. Always looking for checks and big hits, while also being able to sneak a solid pass down the ice. Darryl started his hockey career in the crease as a goalie, but switched to defense after become more of a backup goalie and a spot on the D freed up. The Took's we're now united as defenders and became a force to be reckoned with in their defensive zone. As a total opposite of his sister, Darryl is an offensive defenceman. Carryl is the guardian on the blue line and Darryl is clapping bombs from the point. Another one of his strong points is his ability to control the puck. Wether he is in a board battle for the puck or trying to get around another skater his control never let's him down when it comes down to it. - Canterbury Red Devils - After years of training with the Canterbury Ice Pups they reached the age of 15 and started playing for the junior Red Devil team. Here they would play two seasons and then get called up to play in for the Red Devil's main team. Dad Garryl Took, aged 41, decided to play one more season when his kids came up to the main roster. Throughout the seasons Darryl has posted some intense stats: 2014-2015 Canterbury Junior Red Devils: 15 GP - 9 Goals - 18 Assist - 27 Points - 13 PIM - +13 - 10 Hits - 23 Shots Blocked 2015-2016 Canterbury Junior Red Devils: 16 GP - 12 Goals - 20 Assists - 32 Points - 16 PIM - +20 - 12 Hits - 27 Shots Blocked 2016-2017 Canterbury Red Devils: 15 GP - 10 Goals - 15 Assists - 25 Points - 12 PIM - +11 - 5 Hits - 34 Shots Blocked Fun statistic: 12 of Darryl's 15 assist were assisting his dad Garryl score a goal. He was also set up for a goal 5 times by his sister. - Future - Darryl Took came into the league during the 55th season of the VHL and was placed on the waivers. Receiving multiple offers from teams around the VHLM he had a difficult choice of deciding for which team he would play. The twins wanted nothing tells but to play with each others and it seemed that might have also been the reason why it took so long for Darryl to choose. in the end he signed a 1 million dollar deal with the Ottawa Lynx's. Looking forward to the upcoming games and draft to the VHL, Darryl is set to work his butt off and get alot of training in. Hoping to impact the league in a big way and also becoming a representative for Hockey in his home country.
