Nova Scotia man here, Nates my boy! Val is awesome though, so glad we signed him when we did.
Amaizng video thanks!

Great video Rudo
2021-2022 the year that he found hand lotion to get some moisture on those hands!
"They let me pick, did I ever tell you that? Choose whichever spartan I wanted. You know me, I did my research, watched as you became the solider we needed you to be. Like the others you were strong, swift, and brave, a natural leader, but you had something they didn't, something no one saw but me, can you guess?" "LUCK "- Joe Sackic
Great Video brother. Love nukes story
Watching Val on the forecheck is shockingly fun. I can't think of another player of whom I would say the same. As we saw in the series against Tampa, when he's on the attack some of the most experienced and skilled defensemen in the league look like shambolic rookies.
These videos are always awsome, great work Rudo
Great Video
Chooch definitely matured into a Beast on the forecheck and PK. He's the lynchpin on our Powerplay💪🏻
That dude is my hero.
