          After a moderately successful junior career, L was drafted 4th overall by the Chicago Phoenix in the S75 VHL Entry Draft. An upcoming expansion team, Chicago is looking to be a great fit for L and his brother R. The rookie pair have not had a slow start to their VHL career with the Phoenix and Chicago looks to be performing admirably after the off-season roster moves and draft by GM Jeff Downey. L spent his pre-season training his offensive game and shot which has allowed him to transition to the VHL level rather seamlessly. Through the first 34 games of S75, L is on a PPG pace and has found himself to be a valuable part of the Chicago defence core. 7 goals and 27 assists in 34 games accompanies a +4 rating, 66 PIMs, 100 hits and 87 shot blocks. L is contributing on both ends of the ice for Chicago and is a dark horse for the S75 Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy as the most outstanding rookie.

 

 

 

          Aided by the on-ice success of the Phoenix thus far, L's locker room experience has also been very enjoyable. He's found that Chicago is an active team with numerous contributing members. The arrival of L and R coincided with the team's acquisition of veteran VHL defenceman Jeff Downey, and the brothers have blossomed under his tutelage. The top-4 of Chicago's defence is rounded out by another up-and-coming VHL superstar Matty Socks. L and R have both taken to Socks, who is 2 seasons their senior, and developed chemistry with Socks and Downey, allowing the top two pairings of Chicago to be fluid and interchangeable. Despite a lot of experience playing on the ice together, both L and R have shown that they are just as capable when broken up and played with other high quality defenders. Team captains Christian Mingle and Lee Xin have also made L and R feel very comfortable on their new team in Chicago thanks to their high work-rate and chill attitudes. Starting goaltender Jean Pierre Camus has also been a guiding presence for L and R. Chicago is an awesome place to play for the Ukrainian brothers.

 

 

 

L had no doubt that he and his brother had what it took to compete on the highest level in the VHL. There are some added pressures, as L, being deployed by the world famous gorlab agency, has a lot to live up to in terms of being the 'most electrifying man in sim league entertainment today' but sees  promise in the Chicago Phoenix organization, as the team looks to really have found their stride in S75 and has the potential to be a Continental Cup challenger sooner, rather than later. Regardless of what the future holds, L is confident the careers of his brother and himself will be a success and the pair are destined to leave their mark on VHL history.
