HHH

[leafssteen 50]

1st overall pick in both his VHLM draft and VHL draft, HHH aka Hunter Hearst Helmsley is quite a special player. He played 1 and a half seasons in the VHLM for the Yukon Rush and Halifax Raiders. In his first partial season he scored 7 goals and picked up 12 assist in 24 games. The next season he blew up scoring a incredible 57 goals and picked up an amazing 68 assist in 72 games! It was clear this guy was the real deal and would be an elite VHL super star! At the VHL draft HHH was drafted first overall by Riga. Since the start of his rookie season he has done very well picking up 6 goals and 5 assist in 14 games. Let’s take a quik look at what makes HHH so great!

 

(S66) Hunter Hearst Helmsley- C

6’3, 250lbs 

 

Scoring Ability: HHH has a very accurate shot and uses it to score many of his goals. He has the ability to see the play before it happens and that’s what makes him an elite scorer! I would compare his shot and the release to Alexander Ovechkin! 

 

Rating: A+

 

Skating: HHH is a great skater and uses that to his advantage on both the offensive and defence. He also is very fast and will work his ass off to get back to help his defence.

 

Rating: A-

 

Puck Control: One thing I’ve noticed a big difference in is his puck control. He looks a lot more comfortable with the puck and he is doing a better job of guarding it. If he keeps working on this he will get even better then he already is! 

 

Rating: A-

 

Overall I would give him a ‘A’ as I believe he is an elite centre that has a very bright future. I think he will be a difference maker in Riga and will help there team a lot in the future. I think this guy will win many awards over his career, including rookie of the year!  

 

Clayton Park had this to say about his former Yukon teammate.

 

@Beaviss “ The guy has incredible talent and will be very successful in the VHL. He’s the best rookie I have seen in awhile and Riga is very lucky to have him. With that being said I wish him the best of luck getting one past me”!
