The player that I, Xavier LaFlamme, most want to emulate in the SHL is Left Winger of the Calgary Dragons and all time great: Esa Anrikkanen.
Esa Anrikkanen is a pure goal scorer, with great puck skills, and amazing skating ability. It's how he's been able to score goals consistently; he managed to score 28 goals in Season 35, despite being a player from Season 18, and being in his 17th year in the league, closing on on year 20. The reason that I want to be like Anrikkanen, is because our styles of play are so similar. Anrikkanen is a sniper, whose three main strengths are: Scoring, Skating, and Puck Handling, and a weakness in checking . Do you want to take a wild guess at what my strengths and weaknesses look like?

That is correct. I am a sniper with strengths in Scoring, Skating, and Puck Handling, and a weakness in checking.

I have the exact same base build as current great Esa Anrikkanen, and I plan to euse his career as a road map for mine, as I try to navigate this league as a rookie. I am very thabkful for that, and hope that I can follow in his footsteps.
