Nathan MacKinnon, the man, the myth, the LEGEND. [1/2]

Halifax-Nathan MacKinnon is a young star. Sorry, Nathan MacKinnon is a young shooting star. Honestly, if you think otherwise, you're dumb.

 

"Nathan is an awesome teammate and it's been amazing to be able to work with him." Ryuu Crimson said. "He is definitely a future star and I hope he is with me in Riga. It would be awesome to play alongside him. I really hope he makes it to Riga. But still, even if he doesn't make it to Riga, he will be great no matter what team he is on."

 

Nathan McKinnon has been very good at his job. He is one of the best second line centres in the league, and we are excited to see him in the future.

So far Nathan MacKinnon has 10 Goals, 24 Assists, 34 Points. He is doing really good considering his conditions. We expect him to make a big splash in the Victory Hockey League.

 

"MacKinnon's future is really bright. I can see him becoming a top line center. The only person I can think who I would praise more is Dylan Nguyen." Ryuu Crimson said about his linemate. "Despite being a second liner, like little old me, he is very popular with the Halifax fans. I can see people wearing his Jersey everywhere. I even got a little bobblehead of him and his hockey card."

 

We asked Nathan about how he thinks his Career is progressing. And he told us, "I think my career is okay for right now. I’m excited to be the number one center next year for Halifax."

The Halifax 21st selected Nathan MacKinnon in the Season 62 Victory Hockey League Minors Dispersal Draft. He was the 39th overall pick in the draft.

 

"MacKinnon is really good for a 39th pick. Deserved to be ranked higher. Way higher. He is amazing." Ryuu Crimson said.

Nathan MacKinnon is a pretty big star in Halifax already. They have chants for him, they all have his jersey, and they even have a club dedicated to him. No joke, you can call them at 420-360-6969. (Not a real phone number please do not call.) Here are some chants for him.

 

(Old chant) When MacKinnon scores a goal:
29! 29! 29! 29!
Too good to just be 2nd line!
Too good to just be 2nd line!
(Repeat until it dies out.)

 

MacKinnon's name is announced:
The Center of Halifax!

 

(New chant) MacKinnon scores a goal:
MacKinnon! MacKinnon! MacKinnon! MacKinnon!
Causing an Avalanche! Causing an Avalanche!
(repeat until puck drop)

 

MacKinnon gets a penalty:
Ring! Ring! Oh, for once you make a call? Ref, you suck!

 

Edwin Preencarnacion said this about the young star, "MacKinnon didn't get off to the quickest of starts in the VHLM, as it took him a bit of time to adapt to the level of play expected from a VHLM player, but over the last three weeks, he's shown himself to be an extremely coachable player, often cited as one of those "first to arrive, last to leave" players on the practice rink. At this rate of improvement, I don't just see MacKinnon as a future VHLM star, I see him as someone who could potentially become one of the best centers in the VHL in a few seasons time."

 

"You know, you can watch him and you just think, wow, this guy is amazing. This guy is one of the best centers I've ever played with. I can't wait to see him as his career unfolds. I speak for everyone when I say that, MacKinnon, we can't thank you enough man. We are cheering you on dude. Can't wait to see you in the majors and I expect to see you in the Victory Hockey League Hall of Fame." Ryuu Crimson said.

 

Kind words for sure, but really deserved.

 

All of us here at the Halifax Sun are excited to see this young man become one of the best. And we know he will be on of the best. We hope to write your Hall of Fame article.

 

From all of us in the Halifax Sun:

 

Best wishes for the rest of the season Big Mac!

@SlapshotDragon Thanks, bud! I like how you took the time to ask different people for different quotes. Keep up the great writing! Your writing will blossom over the year. (If I make Riga, that’d be so cool!)

@SlapshotDragon Unfortunately you can't use the content that I supplied you with for your own word count, it needs to be a 500 minimum of your own words. I'm counting 535 words with 101 of them being mine and I presume 21 of BagelBites, so you'd need about 100 more words of your own content before you can claim points for it.

Thanks for telling me man, I added a quote from Ryuu, a few more things and a chant. Should be good.

Review:

Solid write-up.

Slow starts in the VHLM aren't the worst thing you can have! Especially as a new guy, it's kind of expected.

Nate Mack will be a great player in the VHL.
