Legacy of Oh Sens

[osens 297]

Oh Sens is still a really young, new, and upcoming prospect for the VHL family. He comes from Japan, where hockey is not well known, but he has made himself known even there when people stay up late at night to see their countryman play in VHLM. His whole career is still in front of him, but what will be left behind, after Oh Sens decides to retire?

Trouble in Japan
Not many people know this, but Sens has got a younger brother. He is playing in Japan's youth league, just like Oh Sens did and he is absolutely brilliant there. He is strong two-way forward, who plays at wings. A lot of scouts are comparing him to Groovy Dood, but only more defensive. Both Sens brothers have got a similar thing - they are both troubles on the ice. Only Oh Sens is also a problem off the ice. 

The only bright star in the dark sky.
The Japanese youth system is really bad, but Sens is really being the only kid with a bright future in that whole league.  If he wants to develop, just like his older brother did, he should go to North America and get more gritty.  He is showing some flashes of greatness but it's hard to understand how good he really is. For context, he has 230 points in 33 games in JYHL, but also 91 penalty minutes. Of course, if he could keep these points up in the big leagues, he would be the next Florent Vericel of VHLM. Oh Sens has said multiple times to the media, that he has been trying to get his brother to come over to North America, so he could get better, but he is scared of the language barrier.  Oh Sens came to Miami, not knowing English at all, but now he can talk English freely, so it is still weird, that his brother is scared of the bigger competition.

Name mystery.
It is probably really clear, why I haven't used his name in this article. Well, the answer is simple - nobody really knows his real name. Oh Sens has not mentioned his name and he has refused to answer questions to journalists, who ask his brother's name. Some people have rumored that his name is Ah, some have said that his name is Ryo, but it is really weird, that Sens family is trying that hard, to hide his real name. On the Japanese Youth Hockey League, his name is listed only as Sens, but if he continues to hide his first name, VHL would be the perfect league for him, as it is not required to reveal the player's first name. 

Future???
Nobody knows, what is this youngster's ceiling, but he has been insane in Japan, it will be interesting to see if he could bring this over the ocean too. His brother has been able to do it, but these are 2 different players and of course, their playing style is much different, so adapting will be interesting.
