Kyson Blake: One of many key pieces

[TMI 20]

It took a while before Kyson Blake of the Saskatoon Wild felt like he belonged anywhere in the VHML let alone on the Saskatoon Wild.  It would be five games before he would register a single point and six before he would score on the positive side in the +/- column.  Slowly and surely, much like the Saskatoon Wild themselves, Blake started to gel better with his teammates and worked as hard as he could day in and day out in order to get better.  Things continued to click and at one point in the season Blake had something near a 10 game points scored streak.  Currently on the year he has 18 assists and 20 goals scored, but what's most important to him is that he's transitioned from being somewhat of a liability and being relegated to the third line to becoming a valued asset on the second line to now sometimes being featured on the first line and one of many key pieces for the Wild as they're making a push for the playoffs.  Despite getting somewhat of a late jump in relation to his draft class, Blake has also cracked the top 15 prospects for the S63 class, which he'll tell you he knows nothing about, but I bet he's pretty aware of his status.
