Revvy Considering Retirement

 

No, Oleksiy Revchenko has not been in the VHL long, except usually when you think about him, it feels like he has been around forever and each year the consistent thought is that Revchenko, known as 'Revvy' has never lived up to his expectations. Besides an amazing year in which he was a second-tier star for the Titans of Helsinki, Revvy has yet to come close to a point per game average while playing in Calgary and has not been to a cup finals game in Calgary. While coming extremely close to the cup with Helsinki, Revvy has just wanted to bring that same fire to the Wranglers and it just does not seem to be happening. Sure, Revchenko was never going to be a star in the league but he has the potential to be a top point getter in the league. With the Wranglers poised to make another playoff and cup run, there is a chance for big things to happen.

 

So, why would Revvy retire? Why would he hang up his skates? His career has been underwhelming and while he still can be a valuable role player on a championship team, that really is not what Revvy aspires to do. He wants to be a top line center and showcase his plus passing ability. Calgary maybe has underutilized Revvy to this point by making him play more defensive but Revvy can excel as a top line center around some scoring wings. If he is kept in a smaller role, it seems like Revvy would rather retire than continue on in the same role.
