A late bloomer is joining the Quebec Citadelles, Micheal Rappaz-Creek, a tall defenseman from Genève in Swiss. His story is particular as a hockey player. Michael started hockey 4 years ago in high school after a young career in downhill skiing. We asked yesterday in the arena, what made you jump into the hockey world?" I always loved hockey, it's an exciting sport and I like the physical aspect of it. I think being 6'2 helps me a lot as a defenseman. However, I know for a fact that my lack of hockey experience is a downside for a lot of GMs and coaches around the SFL. I currently work very hard to improve my game on both sides. I want to compete as a good two-way defensive player with good vision and a decent passing game '' Rappaz-Creek joined the Quebec Citadelles yesterday, after an open tryout. '' I knew for a fact that there was an open spot at defense, so I took a shot and came to the camp to try to take a spot in the team. I'm very happy to have a chance to prove myself in the SHLM, it's a very good development league.
