[InstantRockstar 1,234]

 

Denver Wolfe has been a name not really spoken about around the league all that much, but what people do not know is that they are sleeping on a giant name that no one really knew about before, but are about to. Each week, we're going to update you on the progress of Denver Wolfe, what's happened in each week, his improvements, his strides and his abilities to really capture the heart of the VHLM fans. This week, we're going to speak about everything he's done to make his time here as impactful and enjoyable as possible. 

 

PRACTICE HOURS

In one week, Denver Wolfe put in thirty-five practice hours, leading the league in practice hours for the week. This was impressive as no one really seen this coming for him, however it was a huge improvement and he looks to add in as many practice hours as he can moving forward. His commitment to his team has really shown a lot of GM's and scouts the dedication he has and the drive to succeed, this is going to be huge for him and his draft stock moving forward. A lot of people really do believe in Wolfe now and want to see if this production can continue, but for now we'll just let him gloat that he was the best last week. 

 

STATISTICS

Games Played - 6

Goals - 0

Assists - 1

+/- (2)

PIM - 0

Hits - 5

Shot Blocks - 5

 

While Denver Wolfe is not the most insanely gifted offensive presence on the ice, he is someone who has been able to show his true colors on the ice and help the Aces defensively. He's already on a good pace to potentially be a hit per game player and even a block per game player too. He notched his first assist with the Aces in his sixth game with them against the Saskatoon Wild, something he was very proud of and even received the puck for, while it wasn't his first goal it was still a milestone piece for him and something he cherishes. Moving forward we're hoping the big bodied defensemen can notch his first goal in the next sweep of games. 

 

BIGGEST GAINS

Skating - +10

Passing - +10

 

If you read his biography, scouts said that Denver Wolfe knew exactly what he was doing when it came to playing his position and being able to outskate the opposition, and while he may not be the fastest player on the ice...yet, he is one of the faster ones in such a short time in the league and he's proving that he is eventually going to be one of the fastest. His other growing stat is his passing which is crucial for a defender as they are relied on as the point man to make plays when needed, and this is going to help him for sure moving forward. We'll keep our eyes on his progression each week to see just what he is working on and report it back to you. 

 

And that is it, week one is a wrap and Denver Wolfe is only continuing to look forward to his progression in the league, and as he progresses, we'll be the first to report it. Until then, this is the rookie watch...take care.
