Ninetyfourgoalie 168 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Jerrick Poole Makes VHLM Debut In some exciting news, defenseman Jerrick Poole has recently made his VHLM debut. It was a much anticipated event for the Ottawa Lynx team as they've essentially been playing short defensemen all season, leading to one of the most porous defenses in the league and ranking in the bottom half of the VHLM in goals allowed. The addition of Poole is expected to be a huge boost to this team as it truly is the final stretch before the playoffs and they're entrenched in a three-way battle with the Blades and Wild for the final two playoff spots in the North American Conference. The waiver pickup of the young defenseman paid off immediately as he managed to get his name on the scoresheet just minutes into his debut game against the Yukon Rush where he picked up a blocked shot and ripped it past Brock Waldron to tie the game up at one after the Lynx surrendered an early goal. While the Rush would go on to win in a close game over the Lynx, it was an encouraging game for the entire Lynx organization as Poole looked strong and confident in his first game. Many are hoping he can be that final piece the team needs to make a strong run at the VHLM Championship but he does have a long way to go. Jerrick Poole has transitioned nicely into the VHLM At the post-game press conference, Jerrick Poole appeared more disappointed than anything. "Of course I'm happy I was able to score early in my first game. But I don't think I was brought here and given so much ice time tonight to score. I don't think anyone has ever questioned this team's ability to score goals. I was brought here to prevent goals and help this team win games and it's not a great feeling to start off my time here with a loss. But I don't want to be too negative - I think we have a lot of potential here and I think we can surprise people around the league at what we're able to do the rest of the season." Poole has continued to play well for the Lynx since his first game and has managed to pick up two goals and two assists in his eight games for the team. He is quietly becoming a player many around the league are taking notice of with not just his play but also how hard he works and his attitude towards the game. His defensive style is something that is hard to find in the offensive VHL and VHLM which makes Poole a very intriguing player. His career is very young but very promising and as long as he continues to perform and improve, he is the kind of player that will be highly sought after by teams all around the world.

Ninetyfourgoalie 168 Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Can someone help me fix the double spacing at the beginning? Please don't grade yet if it's going to negatively impact my grade.
