Who dis: Kallis Kriketers

Is he even 18?: 21

His job: Being a goalie

Is he Zdeno Chara?: 70 in.

Does he get his weight up?: 194 lbs.

His hood: Dagda, Latvia

 

 

 

 

Kallis is kind of an odd case. He never was supposed to start his VHL career, but the @hedgehog337 agency had a trouble to find a decent talent after Centis Kurtutecis didn't believe in his skills (what a pussy) and Gaidis Olnīca was just too lazy (gonna be a broke boi soon for that). The agency managed to find that guy only when the trade deadline was about to close. Kallis was just some goalie who was playing in the regional tournaments for fun, but for now his life has changed completely. He was drafted 4th OV by the Ottawa Lynx (damn, again?) team in the S62 VHLM draft. Also, he's on the Riga Reign team system which means this draft will be the only in his career. Let's look at his green and red lights now.

 

 

 

 

HE'S EATING AT:

 

 

Work Ethic!

 

 

This pro actually was a con for so many seasons for Kallis' agency. It has changed with the arrival of Ritvars Lupatlasis, an SBA star. Seems like Kallis decided to take this chance seriously which is an impressive feat. Considering that he was playing just for fun before he joined Hedge's agency, he already deserves an award for his determination.

 

 

Plastic as hell!

 

 

In other words, he's agile. That was one of his main strengths before he even was drafted to Ottawa. Rumors has it that he decided to focus on other skills now, but I think this won't be a problem for a young Latvian goalie as he still should be one of the most agile goalies in minors even if he doesn't puts much effort in it.

 

 

He can listen to other people!

 

 

It's hard to start your pro career without a mentor. Somehow Kallis managed to find the first goalie in Hedge agency's history who is teaching him the basics of the pro leagues. It's nice to see that our youngster can listen to people. He knows he can't do this by himself so he's ready to take an advice from other people.

 

 

 

 

HE'S BEING WACK AT:

 

 

What a psychopath!

 

 

Kallis' emotions - that's what his mentor will need to adress first. Only a few scouts know, but he wasn't that calmest player when he was playing in his homeland, but for now he needs to be calm cool and collected. Otherwise, we may see a couple of penalties or even fights from this dude because sometimes he just doesn't know when to stop.
 


Sleepy!

 

 

We know he wants to pay attention to other skills. But for now, his reaction is shit. Period. Sometimes he's being very sloppy during the matches. Maybe that's not a tragedy when you're playing in some regional type games for fun, but the VHLM (and then VHL) is the different story. Looking forward to his improvement in that area.

 

 

He's no Larkin either!

 

 

I mean, being fast isn't the most important skill to have for a goalie. But he still can't skate properly. And that's despite of his exceptional talent at being agile. He still will need to leave the net and play puck sometimes so he needs to be fast to not being robbed by an opponent.

 

 

 

 

So what we have now? A dude who's agile enough to impress scouts, but at the same time he can throw temper tantrums for no reasons. We shall see how his game develops, but for now just apprectiate his determination. He really started as just some another goalie. Now's he OP, just like Krīgars. Deal with it.
