Ernie King , Asking Permission to Re-Enter S76 VHL Draft After being Released by Prague

[Greg Ernest 39]

Asked what the biggest adjustments and differences about the league that has changed since his departure two season ago... 

 

“I think the size of the opposing players and the speed of the game have increased beyond the stars over the past two seasons with its obvious things you notice most,” said Ernie post game . “For the most part everyone does things at a much higher pace, and skill level than ever before and the competitive level is soaring through the ski so it’s a big change compared to what I was used to before.”

 

Despite being faced with the challenges of the unknown, Ernie King’s cool, calm and collected attitude tempers any fear or unrealistic expectations he could potentially place on himself since becoming a VHL draft pick. “I just try to keep my head clear,” he said. “Just keep my focus and remember that I can’t control what other players are doing or what they think about me, I can just control my game and how I’m preparing for the season. So I just focus on that.”
