S76 SMJHL PT #7 - One Season at a Time Deadline: Tuesday, May 21st @ 11:59 PM PST
#9

AT-AT Wøllker was drafted 3rd Overall to the Great Falls Grizzlies in the S76 SMJHL Draft. The rugged Icelandic defenseman had the opportunity to play 2nd line on the team, so would get decent enough minutes. He played almost exactly as one might imagine a defensive defenseman to play. He was quite strong in his own zone, racking up over 100 blocks and just falling short of 100 hits, with 99. In the playoffs especially that commitment to defense did help the Grizz, ranking top 2 in shot blocks through the first 2 rounds. However, the offensive stats were not great, being the lowest-scoring player on the team. Now, granted GFG is not the highest scoring team in the world, but AT-AT's lack of prowess on that end did not help their cause. With a higher aggressive edge than most players, he racked up quite a few penalties, leading the team in penalty minutes during the regular season. Unfortunately, there were no fights to his credit which was something I was hoping for. Next season AT-AT will hopefully be able to contribute more offense and cut down on giveaways a bit, it is likely with some players moving up to the SHL that he may get more minutes and special teams play so the pressure will be on to perform!
