This will be my first season in SHL, Winnipeg Aurora decided to put me as a center in 3rd line. I was full of hopes for preseason but it ended bad, really bad. In seven games I did not get any point, I only managed to shoot 4 times and have +/- ratio at -7. All this in very decent over 16 minutes per game ice time. All this was quite a disappointment for me, specially since I came into SHL as a Four Star Cup winner and as a player with most assists (tied) in last regular SMJHL season.
So now I really dropped my expectations for this season, looks like my first SHL season will be brutal. Now I hope to score few goals and have over 15 assists. If I would manage to have positive +/- ratio it would be awesome but I guess this is a bit too much to ask. As for team wishes I only have one simple wish/goal and that is to reach the playoffs.
Quick update; in my first two SHL matches I manged to get 3 assists and I am really pumped up for next games.
