Cornholio 182 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 The son of the heralded Wolf "The Dentist" Stansson who was a former NHL player and coach for the Iceland's Junior Goodwill National Team, Wolf Stansson Jr. has declared his intentions to advance his playing career to the VHLM. The towering 78", 250 lbs. defenseman will be a menace for opposing teams just based on his size alone - his skill, while very raw, leaves a lot of room for improvement and his upside is very bright. Wolf Stansson was a proficient shooter and a physical player -- WSJ projects to be another physical player, like his father -- but WSJ is more defensive-oriented compared to his father. WSJ has remarkable hockey IQ to go along with a rare blend of speed/strength, which plays very well to his ability to defend shots and regain possessions for his team. WSJ routinely led his team in hits and shots blocked growing up through the Iceland hockey ranks (to go along with a fair amount of points as needed) and he will look to continue that in the VHLM, and eventually the VHL. That can become really useful especially in PP and PK situations where you need the very best players on the ice in order to maintain momentum for your team. So far WSJ has gotten interest from two VHLM teams that are looking to upgrade for the stretch run. WSJ plans on giving everybody some time to see his declaration of intent and WSJ will make a decision tomorrow as to where he'll start out his VHLM career.
