Sim Wen Milestones (+3 TPE)


For Simulation Hockey League draft prospect Sim Wen, there are many things that stand out immediately when watching him play. He's an immense talent at both ends of the ice, which was showcased by his usage this season by the Anchorage Armada. Officially listed as a defenseman, management loved his awareness on the ice and talent in the offensive zone enough to move him up to the wing for his rookie season, and slot back in to his natural position on the blueline with the second powerplay unit. When watching Sim play you immediately notice his smooth puck handling and ability to pick out a pass anywhere on the ice. His 43 assists brought him up to 4th on the team. Naturally as a defenseman by trade you expect Sim Wen to be a force in the defensive zone. He can read the game well , and is willing separate his man from the puck through the use of both the stick and the body. At the junior level his game sense allows him to get away with what might be less than optimal positioning which is something that may need improvement if he wants to make the jump to the big leagues anytime soon. His foot speed could also use work to be able to keep up with the improved pace of the game at the next level. While not the biggest player, he's very strong on his skates and has great balance to ward off any checks. If there is anything to be wary about with Sim Wen, it's that he may have difficulty transitioning back to a role on the blueline after spending a season at forward. Should he prove it to be a seamless transition we expect him to be a top talent for many years to come with whatever team is lucky enough to grab him.

During the first home game of next season for the Anchorage Armada the team will be handing out keys to a special commemorative boat in order to fit with the naval theme of the team. A boat on a trailer will be parked outside of the arena as an example for fans. However as you may have guessed this would be very expensive and super impractical for a team that already spends a fortune on travel fees (seriously have you seen how far away Alaska is from some of these other teams?), so fans will be able to trade in this key for a miniature replica of the parked boat. Each fan will be given a choice as to which player's face they want to have on the side of their new boat and a sticker of that player's face will be quickly slapped on to keep the line moving. This replica is of course only a figurine and does not float, so make sure you don't put it anywhere near a deep body of water.

I've got a few personal goals that I'd love to hit during my career with Sim Wen. I really enjoyed playing for a single team throughout my entire career with my last player so I hope to be able to do that once again. Of course things can always change in the future and this might not be possible or I might change my mind, but hunting for those team records was extremely fun and gave me something to look forward to even once I wasn't putting up the same numbers as I was earlier in my career. In particular, with Sim Wen I'd love to aim for hits and shots blocked records with a single franchise. Of course I'd like to hit 2k TPE again, and hopefully fight regression harder than I did last time. A hall of fame induction would be super cool, but I'm not expecting it at this point. Really I just hope that I keep enjoying the site like I have been and have a good time playing with old or new friends. I would also like to see if I can go higher in the draft than I did with my last player, I can't remember off the top of my head what it was but I'm aiming for early to mid first round this time.
