Claimed:Backenbauer's Land in Brampton

Arriving in Brampton

It was complete chaos at the Brampton International Airport, where brothers Hudson and Hunter Backenbauer stepped off a plane to a crowd of roars from Blade fans young and old.  One day before, both of their names were called in the Season 38 VHLM Dispersal Draft.  Older brother Hunter was the first one to be drafted, when the Blades took him with the 10th overall pick.  Hudson did not have to wait much longer, as he was taken two picks later with the 12th pick.

 

"It was a dream come true," Hunter Backenbauer said, "I never thought that my playing career would take me here, and being able to play with my brother makes it even more special."

The elder Backenbauer brother talks to the Brampton media.

 

 

It did not take long for Hudson and Hunter to take to the ice.  The two were seen at an optional morning skate.  It was also that morning that the team lines were announced, and the two Finnish-born forwards learned that they would be starting the season on the same line.

Hunter and Hudson spotted at the Brampton morning skate.

 

"When we were told that we would be playing on the same line, I truly could not believe it," said Hudson Backenbauer.

 

"He just better be ready to make some good passes," Hunter responded with a smile.

 

 

Preparing for the VHLM

Playing in the VHLM will be a whole new level for the brother duo, and they will be the first to tell you that they know that.  Both Hunter and Hudson had played competitive hockey in the past, but going from college or junior hockey to a league like the VHLM will bring its challenges.

 

"I understand that I will not be lighting the lamp every minute of every game," Hunter said, "I need to work on my game, and that's what I plan on doing.  I will do all I can to help the Blades win."

Many were talking about the Backenbauer brothers and how they were both drafted by the same team.  Not to be outdone in the headlines, Brampton selected highly rated prospect, Tyson Stokes with the second overall pick in the draft.  Stokes, a center iceman, is due to be a star player for the Blades on their first line.

 

"My brother and I are looking forward to playing with Tyson," said Hudson, "He is a fantastic hockey player and to have the opportunity to be on a team with a player like him means a lot to us."

Tyson Stokes will get the opportunity to be a star forward in the VHLM.

 

Anticipation and excitement have been spreading throughout Brampton following the draft.  The fans are restless, but it's hard to tell if they are more excited than the players.

 

"I know that I speak for the whole team when I say that we are ready.  We are going to do all we can to bring a cup to Brampton and reward these great fans for all they do," said an excited Hunter.

 

Both Hudson and Hunter Backenbauer will continue to improve their skills in the off season, while they still have time.  Like many other young prospects, the brother combination is ready to get on the ice and get the season started.
