From the land of the east comes yet another Asian based player to follow in the footsteps of the likes of Daisuke Kanou and XXX. Yet for the first time ever, not only is the VHL eligible player an Asia born player, but that it is a female.  Tzuyu is a young singer performer that has reached international celebrity status Asia that will be making her foray into a career that is completely opposite of her profession. The gamble is certainly there for her, as well as any GMs that will be looking at her come draft day. Is she likely to stick? What about her entertainment career? How will those things coincide to her being a VHL player? Let alone being a female already and at a physical disadvantage already, the possible issues arising from her as a legitimate player are never-ending.

 

Key Abilities:

 

Scoring – Tzuyu is gifted with a great set of offensive skills. With the ability to get shots through traffic, she has been one of the best players in the VHML program at generating shots on net. Her ability to change up her firing strategies has also been keeping goalies on their toes as she can pick corners as well as score in tight spaces.

 

Skating – Tzuyu possesses incredibly graceful and quick acceleration. Skating thankfully is nothing strange in Korea and she had picked it up early in between training between Taiwan and South Korea. In fact she plays the ever popular roller hockey leagues prior to her engagement into ice hockey. Excellent stride and edge control is her calling card and probably one of the abilities she has that allows her to not routinely get squished by the larger players.

 

Vision – Tzuyu possesses some of the best vision we’ve seen from a new player at her age ever. Her ability to find gaps in opposing team coverage and her teammates has allowed her impact the game whenever the puck is on her stick. With pinpoint passing and the ability to control the play, she has been able to exact precision breakouts for her team as well as quarterback the powerplay. With this she has been able to also engineer counter-attack plays with well timed steal and passes that in the split second, have caught the opposition unawares.

 

 

Key Weaknesses:

 

Physicality – No surprise here as Tzuyu is a tiny sub six foot player, she does not have the greatest strength so she suffers from being unable to handle larger stronger opponents at time. In order to counter this she has to outwit her opponents and win stick battles through guile rather than brute force. One of her key issues is winning fights in front of the net.

 

Career – As a player that hasn’t been into hockey all her life. It remains to be seen how far she is willing to take her career here. It could be something as simple as a one and done hobby attempt. Having only picked up the sport now also means she has her fall back into Kpop as something she can do otherwise.

 

Fighting – This kind of goes hand in hand with her physicality and lack of strength. She can’t fight. Simple as that, she is a finesse player. Shes never going to be able to bring someone down with her small frame, good luck even trying take down some of the VHL enforcers even.

 

Summary:

 

Definitely a mixed bag in terms of what you will get. An extremely small and diminutive offensive forward with a great pair of….hands. As well as a great mind for the game. Unfortunately it comes at a price. She is gorgeous and down right the dream of men everywhere. But that because of her look, strength and power is not in her repertoire. You’re better off looking for a defensive player elsewhere. While she can hold her own in stick battles and the defensive zone in general, she is inevitably going to lose any contest of strength in the game.
