******NOT READY FOR GRADING******


Hey, you.
Yeah, you.
You're probably here to read about me. Read about Rocket Rich, Richard the Great, King Rich, I'm sure you know me by more than one of those names. I am an upcoming prospect in this season's draft, and am (at least in my own opinion) the BEST defensemen in the pool. Why, you ask? Let me, in return, ask you a different question; How many other defensemen do you know that were almost literally BORN into skates?
I was a natural born hockey player; I have ice in my veins, sticks for arms and skates for feet. I'm a natural born legend, the best friend you'll ever make, and the worst enemy you'll ever cross paths with. Now with that in mind, you may have also heard some more... negative, things about me. "Punk," "Thug," and "Loser," are all words that come to mind. Although those aren't words I'd use to describe anyone other than the other team's defensemen, I suppose in some people's eyes I could be considered those things. I love the nitty gritty of hockey; anything from the mind games on the dot to the down and dirty hits. I LIVE to see the other team squirm on the benches, not even sure what to say when I come blazing down their side of the ice, fury and determination in my eyes.
Now again, This may beg the question, "What kind of skill set does some clown from small town USA bring to the most competitive, high speed sport in the world?" And for that argument, I'd like to politely request that you refer yourself to maybe a few of the guys that I plowed into the boards, guys that I was able to out skate purely on wit and natural hockey ability, or the goalies that were forced to watch me celebrate with our goal scorers. Boy oh boy, I remember the last time I pointed at a goalie after a goal... Let's just say it got a little bit heated on the ice. To any team that has the grace and obvious sense to take even the slightest look my way, I can almost promise that you won't be disappointed. I've heard plenty of things about this league, and I believe that what it is missing is a Zdeno Chara, a Duncan Keith, a Dion Pha- oh wait... nevermind.
Anyways, I think that's about it for me, so now is the part where I turn the mic to you scouts, coaches, and most definitely the concerned players, is there anything more you all would like to know?
