MINI INTRODUCTION - JEFF BLAZE (RW) S71

 

 

It was three days ago, when the VHL Commissioner was informed that Jeff Blaze would be entering the VHL, and declaring for the Season 71 Draft. At first there was a lot of question around who he even was, as the name hasn't been talked about around the hockey world very often. Jeff, who hails from Nashville didn't start playing hockey till the age of sixteen and is only nineteen at the moment. You heard that right, he has only played hockey for three years. Whenever people hear that they are absolutely shocked as that is not very long in the sport of hockey. He always skated as a kid, but never really took interest in hockey until he was around sixteen. Once he stepped onto the ice with a hockey stick, it was almost just natural for him. Jeff left home last year to go play for the Omaha Lancers of the USHL, where he had a slow start, but did eventually start to show his talent towards the end of the season. After the season was over, he had a few Division 1 NCAA offers but he decided to go the pro route instead as he hasn't ever been much of the school type. This upcoming season in the VHLM, will show whether he decided to make the right decision or not. It's a huge risk for him, and it's something his parents were definitely not happy with at first.

 

 

Looking forward to next season it is hard to say who will take chance on a player like Jeff. It will be interesting to see who does, and if it will pay off hugely for them or if it will be a disappointment. It’s going to be a huge offseason for Jeff, as far as training goes and what he can prove to these teams going into the draft. Jeff has already told many teams that he has one of the best trainers in the United States as far as hockey goes. That might be enough to show teams that this kid is committed to playing in this league and being successful. Even if Jeff has an amazing season next year, it’s still going to be hard for him to even get into the top two rounds of the Season 71 Draft, as it is looking as a very strong draft class. We haven’t seen very strong draft classes as of late and it will be very interesting to see how this one plays out. Other wingers such as, Erik Killinger, Jim Bob, Uhtred, Thomas Landry II, and Adam Syreck are some of the highly anticipated guys that he has to compete. Another interesting dynamic that Jeff brings is that he can also play other positions which isn’t very common in the game now a days. When it ultimately comes down to it though, nothing else matters expect for his performance on the ice and we will have to wait a little to see how that goes. Next week, we will look into more into the childhood of Jeff Blaze and the reason he wanted to play hockey.
