Josho The Great Prospect Report

[Joshothegreat 26]

About Josho

Josho was drafted 6th round by the Ottawa Lynx and it still only 15 games into his first season in the VHLM but has made a big impact for his team so far scoring 23 points in 15 games. He is well on pace to score over a point per game. Josho is looking to lead the Lynx to the playoffs and hopefully make a deep run. He is ranked to go in the top 20 of the upcoming VHL draft and could easily make the jump directly to the VHL but is more likely that he plays another full season in the VHLM after this season. The rest of the season will really prove to everyone if he is ready to make the jump to the VHL, only time will tell.

 

Strengths

Scoring: Josho has the ability to score there is no doubt about that with 11 goals in 15 games so far he is well on pace to score over 30 goals. Josho is most effective on the powerplay where opposing teams cringe whenever he is on the powerplay against them because they know he is likely to score.

 

Passing: Everyone will talk about Josho's scoring ability but his passing is just as strong as his scoring. His ability to find his team mates is one of the best in the league and as a rookie there is no doubt that he can still get better and that is scary for any team playing against Josho.

 

Skating: Josho is for sure one of the fastest players in the league, he is able to blow by players in a few strides. Watching Josho use his feet to score and pass is really a treat for everyone watching, except if you are the other team.

 

Weakness

Physical: Josho is not a big guy only 5'9 170 lbs sometimes you can see him struggle when he is up against bigger players, he also is not the best guy in the corners but he can always improve.

 

Faceoffs: Even though he is listed as a center he plays wing most of the time, in part to his ineffectiveness in the faceoff circle. His coach has him in practice taking more faceoffs and working hard to improve on them to hopefully get him back to the middle of the ice where he can really improve. With his speed and the ability to win most faceoffs Josho would be one of the most dangerous players in the league.

 

Josho has a real chance to be the best rookie in the VHLM this year. Josho also I think will be a dominant player in the VHL when drafted for years to come.
