Ruslan Zaporozhets has been called up by the Toronto North Stars for S54, this presents that challenge, slash big moment for most young players. THE big jump. That said the hot new rookie is taken to his new role of Garbage Collector rather than Sniper. When asked after his first game, Zapo was quoted as saying "Well back when I was in St. Louis I was able to use my size, relative speed, and skill to put pucks in the net. However I am not as fast, nor as skilled, or even as big here in the SHL. But I get to play with two of the best here in Toronto and I figured if I just keep my stick on the ice and hang near the net, good things will happen" In spite of what he said, he scored his first goal on his first shot of his first game, and has been a regular physical presence to boot.
