Ryan Coleman’s Junior Review

[Ryan is a king 5]

Ryan Coleman came to the game a lot later then most hockey players, but his hard work helped him get where he is today. When he was 11 years old he picked up a stick for the first time and instantly fell in love with the sport. After playing for his local town team for 3 years, Ryan had the chance to play for his high school team. He took the chance with it and set the world on fire, scoring 51 points in just 21 games as a true freshman. He also chipped in 9 points in 4 playoff games to help his high school claim the New Jersey state championship. Figuring out the competition he was playing was weak, Ryan choice to transfer to the prestigious Avon Farms to keep playing. He helped lead the team to a 26-1 record while scoring 42 points as a sophomore. The following season was more flashes of greatness as he netted 84 points in 24 games leading them to back to back state championships. Don Cherry was quoted as saying “ This is one of the best American prospects we have seen in a while, he will be a special player for sure for a long time.” Coleman decided to chose a path that would allow him to graduate early. After news came out that the young man was looking for a professional contract at the age of 17 he signed with the first team that offered, the San Diego Marlins. When asked why he chose the Marlins Coleman had the following to say “The GM and coaching staff really hit it home for me. I enjoyed the visit and the culture around the team. I look forward to calling this place my home”. Coleman signed a 1 year 1.5 million dollar contract and is eligible for the VHL or VHLM draft come this offseason. His former coaches and teammates have such praise for the kid. Scoring is what this kid does. He is the very definition of an underdog, coming to the game so young and still having remarkably success that points to pure talent. It also should be noted he has some hockey in his blood, his uncle played 12 seasons in the KHL winning 3 championships and leading the league in scoring twice. Only time will tell what the former high school great will do. He currently sits with one point in his first two games as a pro.

Bro, sick Junior Review! It is well-written, and is incredibly convincing. One thing that may help in the future is a few breaks into smaller paragraphs just to make it easier to read. But keep it up man, you’re on fire!

This was a great read man! Breaking it up into a few paragraphs would have made it a little easier to read. I enjoyed every sentence i read. Keep them coming and welcome to the Marlins!
