GM's Son is a bit disappointed in how his first season in the SMJHL went, as he wanted to be the runaway rookie of the year winner and put up a ton of points, but his performance should be put into perspective. He centered the 3rd line of a good Vancouver team, and while his line mates weren't the top end scorers of the other two centers, Son still put up a respectable 16 goals and 32 assists (48 points) over the year. Son got a lot of time on the penalty kill for the Whalers, which was good to see for the rookie, and he won a majority of his faceoffs with a 50.7% win percentage. Looking ahead to his sophomore year, Son projects to be at least the 2C on what will be a somewhat weaker Whalers team, but he'll look to improve offensively and physically so he can win some awards and games.
