Jass Looking to Build on Solid Freshman Season

[TheFlash 317]

This past week, Hugh Jass was selected to the VHL All Rookie Team. This season, he has his intentions set on continuing to earn such accolades. 
 

Jass had a solid rookie season, earning 31 points in 72 games. He also led the team in +/- with a plus 19. Plus/minus tends to be over looked, but for a rookie defenseman to lead his team in the category, it’s something to be quite proud of.

 

Jass spent the off season working on rounding out his offensive game and intends on improving his numbers on the opponents end of the ice. “40 points, I think that’s the goal I’ll set”, Jass said this afternoon at the team’s training camp. Jass will still be on the second paring, playing behind Lance Flowers and MGS. This could make it tough to put up big numbers, as both Flowers and MGS are scoring defenders. 
 

Another stat Jass is looking to improve is his hit totals. A big part of a defender’s game is the ability to lay the body on the other team and shut down their opportunities. “Been hitting the gym hard. Strength conditioning has been big for me, I think it’ll help me on both ends of the ice”. Jass said.
