Totems draft Tamurello, LeLis, Hampton
13 years ago
The
Furry Hockey League Season 2 draft completed overnight, with Victoria adding three players that didn't fully hit their stride last year, but have a lot of upside.
Before the puck hit the ice last season, I rated Nathan Tamurello as the #1 player in the league. After bouncing from Bridgeport to Hamilton, Tamurello never quite lived up to his skills on paper, but was still a contributing factor to the Wanderers' Cup run. Victoria drafted him in the third round, 36th overall, hoping his experience and potential will produce plenty of goals in red and white this season.
Manny LeLis will bring a big, beary presence to the Totems blueline, after being drafted with the first pick of the fourth round, 49th overall. The draft report describes him as "a confident two-way defenceman. Quick for his size. Has skills to quarterback the team's power play unit."
Brodie Hampton comes to Victoria with the 77th overall pick of the draft, despite being a first round selection for the Las Vegas Highrollers last season. The Red Kangaroo is expected to form a strong partnership with his fellow Australian marsupial, Paskhowl, on offense.
The lineups will be completed in the coming days as free agency opens.
