Zetterberg 863 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Ray Sheilds Junior Review Ray Sheilds Grew up in Vaxjo, Sweden where he cheered for his favorite VHL team the Malmo Night Hawks. He had always dreamed of playing for VHL however he struggled to keep up with the other Swedish Athletes as he could only make community Bantam 2 in Sweden. However after middle school he decided to take a High School program that would take him to Halifax, Canada. While In canada he was able to be trained by a man named Gord Downie who had played 3 Season in the CHL for the Edmonton Oil Kings. Gord pushed him day in and day out making sure that Ray stayed on top of his game. He also took Ray to see all the Halifax 21st Games as inspiration.

He improved his game so well that he won multiple award like Esso minor hockey Week and Provincials he was so good that the AA team the Lunenburg Racers called him up for 5 games.

Big Mac 310 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Review: I must say this isn’t bad though I’d like to call myself the most professional critic on them site, and thankfully this wasn’t pros and cons it was literally a description of your career before VHLM, so you won’t lose points for that, and it does seem that there is a misplacement correct me if I’m wrong (it’s place below). You also have a few run-ons that could be fixed by punctuation. It’s not a crazy story it’s very simple, which I do appreciate. You’re also @Ricer13's prospect so I have some bias, but you’re on the Bears so I’m conflicted, but you get a 5.8/10 review. Also since these are supposed to help you I’ll mention you @Zetterberg.
