I'm coming into the league as an unheralded rookie. At first, my goal was just not to completely suck. For now, my goal as a defenseman is to be solid on both ends of the ice. I may not be able to provide much input on offense right now, but my goal is definitely to improve in that area over the course of the season. Putting up some goals and assists would definitely be nice. For that, I'd like to improve my stats on getting open, offensive read, and positioning. My goal is also to advance beyond the third pairing and eat some serious minutes for my team. I also want to focus on improving my giveaway to takeaway ratio. Doing all of this will help me achieve one of my main goals, which is to be drafted higher to the SHL than my SMJHL draft position. It's a must goal since I was only drafted 50th and I'm hoping that I can beat that by a fair amount.
