Jose Gonzalez Rookie Profile [1/2]

[Jose Gonzalez 33]

Jose Gonzalez born in Reno, Nevada played hockey in his time living in Reno and in Vegas. When he started playing in leagues it was obvious that Jose had something special so he decided to pursue the VHL. His time in Vegas showed a lot about his personality and how he deals with being down in games.

 

Age: 17

Position: LW

Height: 68 in.

Weight: 192 lbs.

Birthplace: Reno Nevada USA

Strengths:

 

• Gonzalez spends a lot of his time practicing accuracy and it shows with his ability to hit the corners consistently. Gonzalez has stated that he will continue this amount of practicing but maybe change the other aspects to make himself more well rounded.
• Gonzalez is one of the quicker skaters in the VHLM S61 draft this shows often when in games he just skates past opponents who simply can't keep up.
• Gonzalez has worked on his discipline giving him a distinct advantage over much of the competition where that is their weakest point.

 

Weaknesses:

• Gonzalez is extremely weak in his own zone often being a very big reason for opponents goals. He has stated many times that he wants to change this and make himself much more rounded.
• Faceoffs as a LW Gonzalez won't have to take as many faceoffs as a center would, but if their center gets kicked out of the faceoff it is almost guaranteed that the opponent will win the faceoff with Gonzalez being one if not the weakest rookie with faceoffs.
• His ability to check, throughout his career in leagues in Vegas, Gonzalez showed that he does not like checking. The few times that he does check it often is either illegal or so weak that the other player can just check Gonzalez off his feet. If Gonzalez stands any chance in the big leagues this is something he must change FAST.

 

All in all Gonzalez does have some potential, but he must work on his strength and his D or he will be eaten alive out the the big leagues. He is a very solid shooter, but if you don't need a shooter then Gonzalez will not suit your team because he isn't the greatest passer in the draft. Hopefully we can see Gonzalez improve and see this young player go from one of the weakest LW in the VHLM to a star player in the VHL. The only way to tell is to wait and see.

Review:

@Jose Gonzalez

This is actually only 410 and it's supposed to be at least 500 words. I'll let it go because @Beaviss already did, but if you could add like 100 more just to formalize it that would be nice.

It's a solid write-up though for what you have there. Good work.
