Draft Prep

[Dtayl 104]

Saskatoon - A new week, a new random question, the same player to answer that question. The random question segment is back and this week's question is about draft prep, and what goes into draft prep. The draft is an important stepping stone in a young players career and being prepared is of the utmost importance. We have Dylan Nguyen back with us again to talk about how he is preparing for his upcoming draft, and what it means to him.

 

“Hey everyone, thanks for bringing me back to the Tribune this week, answering these questions is really starting to grow on me, it's pretty fun. Anyway, draft prep. I’ve been working hard getting ready for this draft i'm continuing to work on my playing skills even if the season is over for the Wild, the grind never stops for players. I'm really focusing in on improving certain aspects of my game that I think will impress VHL scouts, right now i'm focusing on Skating, Puck Handling and Passing. Of course being a defense-man I'm always working on my defensive game as well. Another thing I've been doing is just studying all the VHL teams, I’m not sure who will draft me so just being as familiar as possible with all the teams is important. The last thing I’ve been working on is my suit for the draft. You only get drafted into the big leagues once, so having the most fly suit possible is something that I want. It's like a little treat to myself for getting this far. I want be a superstar and I want to look like one on the ice and off it.”
