Kolur Bjoernsson Adjusting to Life in Philly

[jblock3 44]

After starting the season as the backup goalie for the Minnesota Storm, VHLM rookie Kolur Bjoernsson was traded to the Philadelphia Reapers in the deal that sent Wendy Kandee Cain to Minnesota. During his time in Minnesota, Bjoernsson saw the ice just once after Divaani Sohva let six goals in after facing fifteen shots. In his VHLM debut that night, the Icelander faced ten shots and stopped each one of them. Now, Bjoernsson finds himself as the starter for the Reapers. In his eleven starts so far, he has faced a total of 408 shots for an average of 37.1 shots per game. With an extremely depleted team in front of him and shots flying at him nonstop, Bjoernsson has still managed to post a respectable (for the situation) 0.859 save percentage. He has made as many as fifty saves in a single game, putting everything he has into each game to show teams the potential he may have in the future. Signing with Minnesota as an undrafted free agent this season, Bjoernsson will be available for selection this offseason in the upcoming VHLM draft.

 

In addition to his new life on the ice, Kolur has also been adjusting to living in Philadelphia. He has settled into an apartment and has started exploring the city to distract himself from the... interesting... season he's having. He's enjoyed his time but is trying not to get attached to the city, knowing he could be drafted to a different team this offseason.
