Rock Star Mentality

[Kendrick 4,741]

Season 37

Back in the 37th season of the Victory Hockey league one of the brightest and most underrated players and members of VHL history was signed to a contract by the Calgary Wranglers. But hold up, let's kick this back to the 30th VHL Entry Draft where the creation of this star was born. When the Helsinki Titans entered the fourth round of the 30th VHL Entry Draft, they expected to simply just draft a dud or pass as teams usually do. Boy are they happy they didn't pass and actually took a chance on a goaltender named Rock Star. Rock Star was a creation of (@boulder) who is one of the most underrated and under appreciated members of out history. Rock Star was a fourth round selection that became known as one of the best backups (and at a time was also a starter) in league history. Not only did this player come to practice but eventually Rock Star would not be put in a game as a usual backup gag, but a strategic move to win a game. Okay back to the 37th season where Calgary signed Rock Star to a contract, basically rewarded the team player with a contract based solely on his effort. Boulder was a very quiet member and only really came on to do training and update his/her player. For those of you that were around from S30-S37, do you remember this great member who is an unsung hero who actually was the turning point of a rebuild in Davos and was a Riga regular for many years? The 25th overall pick has never looked so good.

As Helsinki GM at the time and it was my first time drafting, I can never forget.
