Talking Relocated Franchises

[GRZ 179]

As we all know that last week we had an announcement that two of our established franchises will be relocating. Oslo Storm will be known as Minnesota Storm, and Quebec Meute will now be known as Vancouver Wolves. So what does this all mean to said franchises' and more coming up next.
Focusing now more on each franchise relocated:
    Oslo Storm(Starting S65 known as Minnesota Storm)
Minnesota Storm will be the first franchise team for our Minnesota community, which is quite exciting for everyone...
They are currently sitting in the 4th position in the VHLM standings, claiming the 4th playoff spot with 55 points in 61 games(25W/31L/5OTL), with 152GF, 180GA, and a difference of -28, currently having won their last game.
Top 3 players from Oslo Storm(Future - Minnesota Storm):
(D) James Lombardi - In 61GP, James has gotten 46P to his name(7G/39A), and all of that has netted him a +/- of 20, which is the highest in his team by a large margin, Blocked Shots is also a statistic where he strives in, having 82 Blocked shots, which is the 2nd highest statistic in his team.

(D) Burnt Toast - If we were to go by points this player is 1st in his team, having 50P in 61GP(10G/40A), however the +/- is where you can really see how the team has struggled in the current season, -26 unfortunately for the 25 year old Canadian-born player is the worst +/- he has had in his career, in his previous two seasons he had -22 and +14, both seasons were played for the Saskatoon Wild.

(RW) Sven Hitz - Sven is currently having himself a pretty decent season, having 32P in 61GP(11G/21A) and a +/- of -11, currently this is his 2nd season with the Oslo Storm, in the first season he had 17P in 68GP(10G/7A) and a +/- of -28.

Worth noting that Oslo Storm have acquired couple of rookies as of late, and it seems like they are rebuilding for the future and with the draft picks they have, its only a matter of time this team starts doing damage.

    Quebec City Meute(Starting S65 known as Vancouver Wolves)
Vancouver Wolves - Will be our first Vancouver team, and if you are a fan of Canadian teams, you are in for a treat....
Currently Quebec Meute is sitting comfortably in 5th place in the VHL standings with 69P in 60GP(32W/23L/5OTL) with 165GF, 157GA and a Difference of +8, currently having a 3 game winning-streak.
Top 3 players from Quebec Meute(Future - Vancouver Wolves)
(C) - Beau Louth - Talk about having an impressive season, this player has 79P in 60GP(38G/41A), and a +/- of +22. This is Beau's 4th season with the Quebec Meute, and so far this is his best season by far, last season achieving 55P in 72GP, and the season before that 59P in 72GP. If you are a Vancouver fan, you should be excited for this player coming to your hometown.

(RW) - Jake Davis - Has 68P in 60GP(28G/40A) and a +/- of +18, this is his first season representing Quebec Meute, and so far he has been playing good, last season he netted 84P in 72GP  with the Seattle Bears and the season before that 70P in 72GP with the Toronto Legion.

(D) - Samuel Gate - The first defenceman on this list, and well deserved, he has 54P in 60GP(9G/45A), and has a +/- of +25, also worth noting that he leads the team in PIM(Penalties in minutes) as he has 118 minutes, and is the 2nd highest hitter, with 184 hits to his name.

Conclusion: I believe that both of these relocations will be exciting for both franchises and I wish nothing but the best for both the fans and the players of each team, lets have a great reminder of the season and a banger of the upcoming season!
