Strengths

1)  Size: Tony was always a tall kid growing up but by the time he reached 18 yrs old he was overly tall and stands at towering 6 ft 6" inches in height. While playing organized hockey between the ages of 7 and 14 yrs of age Bolonee was still hovering over most players and he began to realize very quickly that this would be his best attribute as long as he could be fast enough to keep up and produce at a high level. After time went by he was training so hard that he started to dominate physically and became somewhat of a local legendary defenseman in his Hometown of St.louis, Missouri.   

2) Passing: Tony started working on his passing at an early age. As a small child, he could be seen playing with his favorite hockey stick just shooting passes off the brick wall by his home to himself. Once he hit the age of 9 years old Tony had a couple of years under his belt. Therefore he was putting up great offensive statistics and producing a large number of assists. His first pass accuracy is off the charts and is the player you want to start the plays from out of your own zone. Skating

3) Skating: There was a time when Bolonee couldn't even skate on roller skates. But once he got his first pair of ice skates Tony really loved getting out in the cold weather and practicing. Even though he was so tall he had a gracefulness about his stride. His main focus as defenseman has always been to move the puck quickly and he believes the first thing a great d man can do to alleviate the pressure on the backend is to become a fast skater. He prides himself in his skating ability and can really move himself and the puck. 

 

Weaknesses

1) Pass-First mentality: While Tony has always been a good producing defenseman he still has a bad habit of maybe passing a little to much instead of taking the shot and just getting it on the net. Though this is a like a double-edged sword because due to this habit it also has produced many great plays, and on the other end he has coughed up the puck and it has led to breakaways. 

2) Slapshot: Something is to be said about Bolonees wicked wrist shot and fabulous one-timer, but his slap shot is something of an acquired taste. His accuracy rate is very low when taking slap shots. If under great pressure while performing the slap shot he rarely capitalizes. But if left wide open his chances definitely better to score.  

3) Professional Inexperience: Even though Bolonee has played years of organized hockey and even has experience playing overseas in international games he has very limited experience with playing at a professional level. He still has many things to learn about the ins and outs of being a professional hockey player. His new contract with Yukon will help him get ready for the Big Time in the VHL.

Review:

 

Great name!

 

Picture's good. I'd put the stat block below it, and add in a preamble to tell us a little about your player. Pros, cons, and formatting are good. Needs a conclusion to summarize what you've told us and what we can expect out of the player.

 

Word count measures up.

 

This is a good one, welcome to the VHL.
