Aleksandrs entered the SMJHL's 58th season as one of the highly touted rookies, having just been selected first overall by the Newfoundland Berserkers. Ten games in and his team find themselves chasing only the Quebec City Cittadelles in their conference and division, and Balcers is enjoying the ride while getting acclimated to this new level of hockey. Despite being an offensively minded defenceman, Aleksandrs has only put up 1 assist in his first ten SMJHL games. However, when you look at the advanced statistics a different story is told. You can see that when he is on the ice the team is playing a strong two-way game, generating tons of offense while not falling asleep on defense.
In terms of the team and the city, Aleksandrs is loving it. The fans are devoted and vocally supportive, and while the city feels a bit isolated from the rest of the SMJHL, the team has bonded together like brothers already in their short time together. |
