WSJ 1st Week in Yukon

[Cornholio 182]

Wolf Stansson, Jr. was drafted #25 overall in the S67 VHLM Dispersal Draft (3rd Round, 3rd Pick). That means that all eleven teams passed up on him in the first two rounds (whatever amount of picks they had) -- including the incumbent Minnesota Storm who saw first hand his development through the final stretch run of S66. WSJ was not too happy about this, but he has moved on from this personal setback and has made it so that he is determined to prove everybody else wrong for passing up on him.

 

So, about his new team, the Yukon Rush... WSJ had to look up where Yukon was and was very relieved to find out that Yukon is still in the North. Actually it's almost as North as Iceland itself, so that's a big relief for WSJ. So his one-year stay in the VHLM will have half of his season being spent in the great North with periodic trips to southern, warm, tropic cities - which is a big help to WSJ's transition to the VHL.

 

"I am glad that i will be playing with Lance Flowers, a strong defenseman and a fellow S68 Draft Classmate of mine. I will be working closely with him to pick his brains and all that since he has more experience in the system compared to me obviously. I am also excited to play with Frans Eller, another great forward who is a part of the S68 Draft group. Justin Rushmore seems like another good guy too - if all four of us can continue our development and eventually max out, I can see great things from our group, no doubt about it. I look forward to bringing greatness to the Rush organization and make them proud of picking me." 

 

Stansson Jr. projects to play significant minutes on the first line of defense with Lance Flowers as well as earning significant minutes on PP, PK among others. It will be interesting to see how WSJ's first and lone full VHLM career transpires.
