Hiroshi Okada Ready To Get Started With Reapers

[enigmatic 504]

Hiroshi Okada didn't have the best season with the Ottawa Lynx but he still won a championship. After being drafted 25th overall by the Philadelphia Reapers, the Japanese forward is ready for new challenges and wishes to have a great season to improve his draft position for the future VHL draft among other things. It's always great to see a player have his priorities in the right place.

 

Only time will tell if Okada will score any goal since he failed to do so last season with the Ottawa Lynx. The Reapers have shown a lot of faith in him so far and he is set to start the season on their first line alongside Ben McGirr and Peach Panther. McGirr is a veteran but Panther is, like him, a rookie. Panther is also a great scorer so the dynamic between them should be fun to watch for Reapers fans. Last season, Okada suffered from being a rookie on a packed team. That gave him little chance to show what he could do. He stated he improved in all aspects of the game this offseason and is sure he will see results right away. Scoring a goal in his first match with his new team would certainly help lift some pressure off his shoulders.
