The Rise of Jorgon Weyed [1/2]

It's only been three weeks, but Jorgon Weyed has been rising through the ranks of the Las Vegas Aces.

Starting on the 3rd line a third of the way into the season. He has started to get a grasp on the league and the oppsoing teams.

His main weapon, his size, has been a huge help in defending the ice against opposing players. He is sitting at +8 with 36 games played. With only 11 points, he is never going to be a highlight reel player, but he never wanted to chase those accolades. He knows that hockey is a team sport and everyone has a specific role to play.

He has now been given a shot on the first line, his focus will still be on the defensive side of the game, but now being able to play with Super Star Julian Borwinn and Number One Center Scott Shawingagen he hopes to light the lamp a little bit more. 

With just a little less than half the season left to play, Jorgon hopes he can help his team secure first place in the league. He knows his team is on the cusp of something great. All it takes is hard work and a dedication to getting better each and every game.

His main focus now is getting stronger defensively, working on shot blocking, stick checking and overall puck handling to ensure that he can be the best defensive forward in the league. 

He is also focusing on the draft and where he sits in relations to other Right Wingers. He has had some contact with VHL General Managers. He's had a  few interviews and follow ups from prospective teams. There are a lot of great options out there, but the only choice he gets is how he grows himself as a player. 

His father gave him some good advice about being drafted. “It is so important to have dreams and to work hard to fulfil them, but you don’t know where you’ll end up” Michael Weyed said, "Just work hard and you will end up where you belong."

Jorgon thought he was going to be given a shot on his National Team, but unfortunately did not make the cut. He doesn't blame anyone but himself in not making them team. He will keep working hard and work to prove himself for the next National camp. He knows if he can show he is a good pro and allows himself to get better offensively he won't be left off the roster next time.

He wishes Team World good luck in the knockout stages. Knowing they have a great lineup and some of the best players in the league. Team Canada will be their biggest hurdle in winning the Championship, but he knows that of they focus on playing a solid team game they can beat anyone.

Now he needs to keep up the momentum he has gained in his first few weeks and bring his intensity to the ice every game and good things will happen.
