Season so far:

 

Ray Sheilds has had a rough start to the season. He was picked up by the struggling Yukon Rush as they hoped he would become another asset to join the emerging player Zyrok. So far in the season he has only been able to put up an assist however his team gm’s ( Kris Rice, and Mexican Cow) have said they have seen big improvement. He is very active in talking to teammates and has even encouraged others to follow. He is expected to be a force to be reckoned with later in the season and is expected to finish near the top of his draft class.
