After being drafted in the second round in the VHL draft by the Riga Reign, Justin Lose had to make a decision. In a press release by his agent he has committed to the Mexico City Kings for the full VHLM season.

"Obviously you want to play in the VHL as soon as you can. I don't want to rush into it though. I think Riga is in a good spot and I don't think they need my services right now. The winger depth chart is a crowded spot too. I'm hoping that there is a spot for me when I'm ready. If I want to stand out in the VHL I have to improve to an elite level. Right now I don't feel confident. This is something I will work on with the training staff with the Kings. This is what the VHLM was built for. I hope the GM of Riga understands my decision. Next season looks great for Riga. I can't wait to see how far we have grown. Right now my sights are set on making playoffs with the Kings. I wish all of my future teammates good luck this season in Riga. I can't wait to start the season!" - Justin Lose

 

The second rounder is on pace to be ineligible to play in the VHLM next season. Lose hopes by then he will have a permanent home with Riga. He also spoke about the winger depth on Riga. Right now this is a concern for Lose. In the RW chart alone he is 4th best player and considering all winger positions he is 10th. In the fast pace VHL level, will there ever be a need for Justin Lose on Riga? Only time will tell.

worry not, 2 out of 10 wingers you mentioned are inactives and won't play next season so you can cross them off. And you're gonna be very close with other 2-3 wingers in TPE next season with this TPE earning pace. So it's not that worrying.

Overall this was fun reading this not only as your teammate in Mexico but as a friend who wants to see you succeed at the highest level. I can see where your concern is with the winger situation in Riga but if I know you and I think I do, I think you'll beat all expectations and be one helluva VHL player for Riga. I'm excited to see a mid-season statement from you on your situation with Mexico, Riga, and your overall expectations.
