What you get if you draft Gregg Stallion

[SweatyBeaver 132]

 

May 11, 2020. Growing up on a farm in rural Belgium Gregg Stallion’s dream of becoming a hockey star seemed impossible to reach, now he is one week away from seeing his dream fully realized and getting drafted into the world renowned Victory Hockey League. Stallion burst onto the scene in the VHLM as an early season waiver pick up for the Houston Bulls, expectations were not high for the Belgian sensation but that did not stop Stallion from quickly finding his place in the VHLM.

“A lot of the cockier players from North America seem to really care about going in the first round or being first overall and even have a goal to make the hall of fame. I am just honored to even have a chance to make it into this league I have always dreamed about” Stallion told scouts eager to get to know the young player.

Stallion is not one to brag about his personal achievements but upon looking closer at his initial season it is clear that there is a lot for the young player to brag about if he were to choose.

 

Offensive Statistics: One look at Stallion’s numbers show a player who easily entered the VHLM and made an immediate impact. In just 68 games Stallion managed to get an astonishing 44 goals and 51 assists totaling up to 95 points (Good for 1.4 ppg, the most of any player joining the league when Stallion did.)

 

 

Other Statistics: Points wise it is clear that Stallion had an amazing season but upon looking at his other stats even more intriguing and exciting potential can be seen for the young winger. “I like to shoot the puck a lot, could have scored more” Stallion said laughing while looking over his season stats and discovering that he had 346 shots on net, good for about 5 shots a game. He also wasn’t afraid to be physical totaling over 100 hits and getting more than 40 shots on net. The only glaring negative on Stallion’s stat sheet was his plus minus. But he played on one of the worst goal differential teams in the league (-134.)

 

 

Team Impact: Stallion was lucky to play with some of the most promising young players in the league, his usual line mates were Michael Hall and JJ Johnson and those three combined to form a dynamic line and turn one of the worst teams in the league into a genuinely exciting team at the end of the season. The impact that Stallion made in the locker room cannot be understated he quickly rose the ranks of the team and became the team captain despite being a waiver add. He brought joy and laughter in the locker room whether or not they were in the midst of a losing or winning streak. He started many of the inside jokes that really brought the team together though a really tough season.

 

 

It is clear that Stallion has tremendous upside in the upcoming draft and whatever team draft his should be counting their lucky stars, but for Stallion he does not care about the stuff that would pad his ego, he only cares about one thing. The dream that a young Belgian farmer had, would one day be reality.

okay I'm gonna try my hand at a review and see how this goes.

 

First off I'm really impressed by you having the stats up there along with 3 images as well, the text is nice and you have a nice mix of talking about the player and some quotes as well. It's all nicely split up so it's easy to keep track of where you are when reading and no section feel like it drags on to long. You give us a little backstory on the player as well as his goals, that being that he just wants to play in the VHL and have a good time but you do share some stats as well and there not overwhelming and you shared some of the areas that we may want to improve on, like actually scoring a little more with 346 shots on net. I've read through this a few times and I can't note any major problems with your work here, there's a good flow, we get backstory, quotes, a bit of personality from the player and stats that are all well laid out. Great work on this and I hope to see another great media spot from you again! I give this a 10/10.

Nice read! I don't know enough about VHL/M to know the stats, but your guy has 12.72% shooting pct; in the NHL, at least, that's nothing to be ashamed of!
