Dick Rash Rookie Profile [1/2]

[nick_716 10]

Dick Rash

Age: 26
Place of Birth: Bender, Oklahoma

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 195

Team: Halifax 21st

Pos: Forward (RW)

 

The hype is contagious when it comes to one of the league's newest rookies, Dick Rash. Rash, despite his suggestive name, has a spread of talents and is strong on the puck. Defense beware. Skating skills, combined with strength, will have Rash positioned deep in the offensive zone as an itch that opposing teams just can't scratch. 

 

Strengths

Strength: Rash has been working on becoming a physical presence in the league. One of the hardest adjustments coming into the league as a rookie is having the physical strength to hold a position in front of the net and on the boards. Rash is a grinder and has spent hours in the gym to build his strength and match that of seasoned veterans. Hope it pays off.

 

Grit: This guy is in it for the long run. There is no 'I' in 'TEAM' and Rash fully embodies that motto. Rash is a blue-collared player that will give whatever it takes to make the Halifax forecheck a force to be reckoned with in the VHLM. If anything, Rash can be that player coaches lean on during press conferences to express 'How much grit the team showed during tonight's game'.

 

Strong on the Puck: Noted above, Rash has a hard time giving that puck up. Teams will get to know Rash as a pest in the offensive zone. Night in, night out look for Rash to help his team get that deep penetration and offensive zone time. 

 

Weaknesses

Shot: Can't hit the broad side of a barn. In fact, during his time with the Oklahoma Benders, his practice facility had no choice but to start billing him for the glass every time he broke it. Shot is harder than Grandpa's candy but lacks any type of control. 'Is this net regulation size?'

 

Chirper: Nash will lay his body down for this team but is a Grade-A chirper when it comes to scrums in front of the net. With the Benders, Rash once totaled 30 PIMs in a game, not one of them was a minor. Mouth will get his team in penalty trouble. 

 

Hockey IQ: Nash is willing to do whatever it takes to be that powerful offensive threat but besides his strength and grittiness Nash has no knowledge on the flow of a hockey game. There have been a number of instances in which Rash has been caught too deep in the offensive zone, engaged in an exchange of words with the opposing team's goaltender.

 

Summary

Halifax is lucky to have pulled the trigger on this guy. May seem like a bit of a bender but the foundation is there. Give him the opportunity to go toe-to-toe with one of the league's enforcers and his mindset will change. If, and when, Nash comes to his senses and realizes that he has the skills to be a contributing member for Halifax the opportunities will be endless. Look for him to start his rookie campaign with very little impact but that will change as the season progresses. A blooming flower in the making. Set the bar low with this guy and watch him set a league standard for power forwards.
