Chance Rust Junior Review

[turkey2349 16]

Chance Rust can best be described as “The player every team needs, but the one everyone forgets about”. Chance prides himself on being the one to have a good game play and shut teams down, but in ways that keep him off the score sheet. Battles in the corner, keeping players out of the front of the net and making smart plays are his goal in every game.

 

Chance has been playing for many years and has slowly been making his way up the ladder system. It has been a struggle for him to advance at points, but through his hard work and constant contact with the coaches, staff and players has earned him good reputation as a leader and one that always wants to improve himself. The VHLM and eventually the VHL are Chance’s next goals in his career and he hopes that his talent and skills will lend himself well to his new teams.

 

Stats wise, Chance is a defensive defenseman, so goals tend to be far and few between, but he does try and get his assist numbers up. His leadership and discipline keep him out of the box, but he’s not afraid to take good penalties when in the best interest of the team and moments. Likewise, he’s not a very physical guy, and rarely throws a hit, but he’s still not afraid to use his body in the corner and work to out battle his opponents 1 on 1 for the puck. The best stat to look for though to see Chance’s abilities is to actually look at the stats of his opponents and their stars as shutting them down is what he does best. Matching up against the best of the best and not letting them play their game is what makes him a game changer.  

 

Throughout his career, Chance has developed and run some of the best penalty killing squads and he looks to improve on it in his next steps of his play. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, Chance was unable to enter the VHLM entry draft and is entering through free agency. Don’t think this will stop Chance from making an impact right away though.

 

Don’t be looking for his name in the papers and box scores because you won’t find him there. Just look for him on the ice and for his team at the top of the standings.
