Revvy Helping Calgary

[AW13 196]

 

At the time of this writing, the Calgary Wranglers are currently in 3rd place in the VHL and looking like a team with a real chance at a cup run this season. The team made a lot of moves to speed up their rebuild this past off-season and one of those moves was bringing back center, Oleksiy Revchenko. Revchenko was traded in a huge deal last season to Helsinki along with Canmore and instantly made Helsinki one of the top teams in the league and they made it to the cup finals, losing in a crushing cup final to Toronto. Revvy managed more than a point per game while with Helsinki, finishing with 79 points, with 26 goals and 53 assists. He had shown why he was coveted in the trade market for his playmaking ability and was able to help as a second line center for the Titans. Now, back with Calgary, his production has slipped a little bit but still has contributed with 27 assists and 12 goals, good for 39 points in 45 games. While he is no longer averaging a point per game, he is getting involved and the team is in 3rd place. He is not the most exciting player in the VHL, he has always been mediocre but he is a valuable role player and could be big in terms of a Wranglers run for the cup.
