Memories

[Spence King 387]

Heading into the VHL Draft in s72 as a first gen breakout star many scouts  Spence Elsby  had pegged as a late first rounder. With some questioning his physical strength and need in improvement against stronger opponents on the puck, lacking this ability, he dropped a bit and when he  was still sitting there mid-way through the second, Helsinki Titans GM @Jubo07 did his thing and snagged Superstar prospect and Powerplay specialist Spencer Elsby

Elsby would go on to help his Philadelphia Reapers S72 Reapers roster for the record books to a regular season title as well as win Gold at the WJC while being a major leader in both roles serving as Co captain of the Reapers alongside another Titans rookie Bob Helminen and Winning gold and raising the trophy together as part of the leadership group during the S72 WJC with another fellow Titan and hailing from the same home country Co Captain partner Valtteri Vaakanainen.

VSN: All right, the playoffs – you guys have Malmo in the first round. Size up the series for us.

Elsby: I know they’re a good team. They’re a hard working team and they have a lot of skill young AND old and nothing to be taken lightly. So, we have to be disciplined and work off their defense low and get lots of shots on net.
