Backstory: Killy Foilen is beginning his third season in the VHLM, waiting to be play for Moscow in S70 after being drafted by them in S68. It's been a long road so far for Foilen, coming into the VHLM in S67, he signed with Minnesota, on route to a subpar season, however, proving his potential to be a potential superstar one day. In the S68 offseason, he was entered into the VHLM draft and was drafted 34th overall to the Las Vegas Aces, and he had a much improved season, as well as getting more playing time due to his outbreak. Going from 5 points to 79 points in just one season is remarkable, and showed teams out there just the type of player Foilen was, coming into the S69 season. After an unexpected turnaround, Foilen decided to stay in the VHLM for one more season, and was contacted by many teams in free agency, in the end, he decided to sign with the Saskatoon Wild, his current team. So far, he has 6 points in 2 games played, a great feat, and on pace to score 210 total points for the season. 

 

 

 

Pros

 

 

Scoring: One of his best attributes, Killy Foilen has taken a playstyle to scoring. And currently, is one of the best at doing it in the VHLM. In S68, prior to a potential breakout season, Foilen showed his scoring ability by grabbing 28 goals in 72 games, not such a bad feat. His game is so balanced out that he can do most of the key offensive abilities to the a exceptional level. His puck handling at a decent maturity rate allows him to handle the puck like a boss around good defenseman, and give him great opportunities to score. Although, in the past he has shown to be more of a passer, showing as well as now at the start of the S69 season, Foilen has the potential to be an amazing scorer in the VHL, and with what he is currently working on, he will prove that to the many that are looking forward to a fantastic season from Foilen.

 

Defense/Positioning: Foilen is an absolute stud on the defensive side of the puck. He has made incredible strides in his 3 years so far in the league with defense, and can arguably be one of the best defenders in the league. Even if the stats are not showing it right now, he always has great positioning on the court, knowing where to be at all times, and when are the right times to be where. This allows him to get many assists in each game he plays, as well as make a solid effort on defense in order to get his team a stop. Even while being a winger, he is one of the best defensive wingers, and will be focusing on this attribute even more as he develops into a future superstar. 

 

Passing/Skating: To be honest, Killy's passing and skating attributes are the best of them all. And his efficiency at doing this is heavily underrated. A majority of his points in the S68 season came from assists, getting 51 in 72 games, a great accomplishment for Killy. His skating ability really enables Foilen to get more assists as he is frequently on the front lines trying to get his teammates the puck. Even in these short two games starting the S69 season, so far he already has 5 assists and is looking to build up more on that. To end the pro's list off, Killy is amazingly talented at offense, and his defense is solid, he could possibly be the best player in the VHLM this season, and he has a big career ahead of him. 

 

 

Cons

 

Discipline: Despite being one of the best players in the VHLM, everyone has their flaws, and the biggest one for Killy is his discipline. He is called for being onside a lot, often getting into fights and showing no discipline on what his coach tells him to do. This is something he desperately needs to improve on if he wants to stay in the league, discipline plays a huge part in how much ice time you can get and how much the coach will trust him to be the best player on the team. If Killy can get this down, he will be that much more of an unstoppable force. 

 

Penalty Shots: Although Killy might not get to the penalty shots as much as you would like, it's always important to have this down in clutch game situations. Kind of life free throws in basketball, they are free points that you need to take advantages of, especially when you need them most. However, Killy doesn't have this in his arsenal, and it is preventing him from getting more goals than he would like, something that should be his top priority once he gets into the VHL, for now though, he is fine without them. 

 

Leadership: Leadership plays a lot into how much you can play in the game, your teammates will always look up to the leader to guide them to do whatever they need to do, to set the tone for the match and lead that squad out there to get a W. Something that Killy posses, but just has not mastered yet. But the potential is there, laying wide open for him, all Killy needs to do is capitalize on it and take charge of this Saskatoon team, they need a leader and Killy can be that leader, he has not got it down yet, but he continues to show flashes and takes strides to become a better leader everyday. 

 

 

In summary, Killy is one of the best players in the VHLM, and he looks to make his mark on both leagues, VHL and VHLM when his time comes.

Review: Well written profile. Looks like the grammatical errors are still there based on the last review. Would be good to see a quick edit to fix them up. The cons are great, always hard finding flaws in your own game. Great work!
