Expectations For Jiggs

Los Angeles, CA

 

With the season starting soon, the LA Stars are expected to make some noise this season. It may not exactly translate to the franchise's first playoff berth, but it's expected that LA will soon start to uncover it's young group of up and coming players through the team's draft and develop approach. A particular player expected to make some noise is none other than defenseman Jiggly Gumballs. Gumballs is going into his sophomore season in the VHL and is expected to breakout as the Star's potential franchise defenseman. With 469 TPA, Gumballs is LA's highest TPA defender. And during his rookie season, he had a respectable 35 points in 72 games with 32 of them being assists. He showed glimpses of his playmaking ability which was prominent during his time in the VHLM, so it's reasonable to say that he is poised for a breakout season.

 

Another area of note is his defensive capabilities. He's already proven to be a very capable defender with 178 hits and 153 shots blocked, and his defensive game is expected to improve even more. Yes he may be poised for a breakout in terms of offensive production, but Gumballs has the potential of becoming a great defensive defenseman in the future.

 

During training camp, he was interviewed about the expectations set out for in the upcoming season as well as what his expectations are for himself:

 

" Yeah, I think that I can do a lot more in terms of helping my team score, and that's something I expect to hopefully achieve this season. The pressure of having a breakout season is not really concerning me much as having a good rookie season was much more stressful than this. During the offseason, I was looking at some game film and just taking notes on what I needed to improve on. And ever since I came to training camp, I've been trying to get better and better. So yeah, hopefully I can make some noise coming into the start next season."
