Uhtred has strong start to the season

[leafsman 207]

Uhtred has had a much better start to the season than he did in his second year in the VHL.  Last season was a major disappointment for Uhtred who saw a dramatic drop in his production.  It was also a disappointment team wise as the bears were the defending Champs and were eliminated in first round.   It looks like this season will be different for Uhtred from at least a personal standpoint.  Through 12 games this season Uhtred has scored 12 goals and 8 Assits this season.  The 12 goals puts Uhtred in a tie for second in the goal scoring race.  Uhtred is now just 4 goals short of his total a season ago.  Uhtred is shorting the puck alot this season as he leads the league in shots with 97.  With just 12 games so far Uhtred is well on his way to top his stats from last season where he scored only 33 points after 48 in his rookie campaign.  It appears that the strong performance in the wild cup has given Uhtred the confidence boost he needed.  Uhtred represented Western Europe where he tied for the round robin scoring lead. The Seattle bears and Uhtred will be hoping that he can maintain this level of production as the season progresses.
