Ritchie has a good week

[DangerGolding 222]

Raleigh Ritchie has had probably the best week of his young VHL career so far. Being selected for the VHL All Star Week skills competition by his coach was a mark of the Dragon's GM trust in the rookie winger. Ritchie took part in the shooting accuracy part of the spectacles and has great showing hitting the 5 targets in just five shots, netting him a second place finish behind Riga's Patrick Tallinder. Though unfortunately the Dragons other appearances didn't have as much success and Ritchie was the only player to add to the point total at the end of the event, landing DC in joint 9th place. Nonetheless it was a great even to take part in an announced Ritchie as a young player to keep an eye on in the future.

 

This momentum clearly gave Raleigh a boost as in the Dragons recent game against Helsinki Raleigh scored with 2 of his 3 shots on goal en route to a 5-1 drubbing of the Finnish outfit. It also resulted in Ritchie's 3 star game as he was selected for the game award alongside teammates George Washington and Elasmobranch Fish. This performance puts Ritchie up to the tally of 9 goals and 6 assists, a mark that places him joint 7th in points by Rookies this season.

 

A more surprising stat is the efficiency Ritchie has achieved from his shooting as a Rookie, he's 6th place in the entire league for shooting percentage with 13.64% of his shots finding the back of the net.
