[Dom 1,445]

• Dominic Gobeil
• 6'2''
• 205 Lbs
• LW
• Houston Bulls (28th ovr)

 

Gobeil Started his VHLM career in Saskatoon in season 74 and got drafted by Houston in the season 75 dispersal draft, most scouts claim that he is a 2-way forward. His stats were not impressive last seasons but rumors say he played with an injury and should be in health for this coming season.

 

Strengths:

 

Defense:

 

Gobeil is a solid player in his own zone, he is getting known to step up his game in penalty killer and should be a key element in his new team on that special unit this year. It is clear that being reliable in his zone is his main focus, that is what he has been practicing the most lately.

 

Passing:

 

It is true that his stats showed us otherwise last season but we noticed a lot of improvements in his playmaking skills and he seems so eager to prove himself as a good playmaker that make him an interesting wild card for the assist leader board this year.

 

Leadership:

 

Gobeil is known for bringing an energy to the locker room and helping his teammates when he can. It is true that he still lack experience but for a young player who is still discovering the league and how things work, he already show signs of leadership. He is not a quiet one and he is getting chemistry with almost any player.

 

Weaknesses:

 

Discipline:

 

Gobeil is known for giving good hits and he likes to do it, but there are times when he go too far and give dangerous hits. It is something that could be a problem in the VHL and he knows he needs to work on that part of his game.

 

Penalty Shot:

 

Gobeil never wanted to practice that part of his game, he always preferred to give the penalty shots to the others and focus on something that can improve him as a player for every games. Maybe he could do great if he would even put the efforts to try but he think its a waste of time and just a show off skill.

 

Scoring:

 

Gobeil is not a sniper, maybe this can change in the future but for now the truth is that he is not the player to score an important goal. Most of the time, he will pass the puck to a teammate who is good at scoring instead of shooting.
