Fauske Berbatov JR review

[littleboi 26]

Born to a poor family in the far reaches of Karagandy, Kazakhstan it was unexpected that someone like Fauske Berbatov would ever make it into the VHLM. Even so, his family dreamed of having one of their kids become famous and be a household name, so when the doctors diagnosed Fauske's elder brother with cancer, the then 5 year old Fauske knew he had to be the one. At the age of 5 he began to play hockey with the local kids, and the people of the town remarked at his skills when he took to the ice.

5 years later, Fauske's brother passed away and his father decided to send the young Fauske to Ontario to continue his hockey training there. In Ontario, people were impressed by the large but well-mannered kid's ability to play the game and he quickly started to make his name known by other teams. In his first year of playing hockey with a junior team in Ontario he led his team, which had finished last the year prior. He dominated on that team, scoring 31 goals and adding 30 assists in only 26 games. 

His dominance continued until he became eligible to be drafted into the CHL where he was taken as the 46th pick by the Kitchener Rangers. He was having a great first season in Kitchener, until he fell to injury 24 games into the season. Through the few games that he did play he managed to score 10 goals and add 14 assists. The next season he came back with a fire and played the full 68 games and managed 40 goals and 32 assists. He continued his development in his third season where he scored a whopping 46 goals and added 50 assists. Following this season he led the Rangers to victory in the memorial cup final where he scored a record breaking 6 goals to lead his team to a 8-0 whopping of the London Knights. He was named player of the tournament and had VHLM scouts watching him like a hawk until he fell prey to a devastating injury which saw him break both of his legs. It took him 5 months to get back to skating and within another month the Saskatoon Wild were the only team who had kept him on watch and they signed him through waivers. Even though the Wild were one of the worst teams in the VHLM he was determined to lead them back to their former glory.
