Happy to be in Riga

[TurnDaddy 323]

 

With draft night come and gone now for both leagues, many players are settling into their new homes. For Niko Bogdanavic getting drafted to stay in Ottawa was something he had hoped would come to fruition and seems pleased with that selection despite some early season woes of not having depth to compete in games late and the team having some trouble finding the back of the net.  "Of course I am happy here. The season is young, we can figure this out." Niko said. "Just because you find yourself running into some adversity doesn't mean you just pack it up. Not in my blood to do that."  The second team Niko found himself being drafted to that night was the Riga Reign of the VHL. How did Niko take that news? "It was excellent. Literally as soon as my agent Mister Jones posted that story about hardly anyone calling us, three teams reached out in the midnight hour before the draft. Coincidence or not, it was pleasing to hear from some more teams. I'm glad Riga took me. I am looking forward to showing them what I can do and that they took the right man. The locker room has been very active which I enjoy a lot as well. They may not compete much this season, but with allowing me to stay down in the VHLM and earn more practice hours before I get called up is a smart choice and one I know that will pay dividends next season for sure."
