   Welcome back to another blog for Biscuits and Breezers! This blog is another piece in the Spotlight Player series, and this time, the player is absolutely taking the WSHL by storm. He is showing great promise within the season already and he has proven to be an incredibly solid player. He adds a great quality of strength and intimidation to the realm of players in WSHL's Northwest division. Your next Spotlight Player is Southern Oregon Spartans forward Anton Bokull!

    Junior players are always trying to bring as much strength to the ice as possible, but when you play against Bokull, you are skating against a player who packs a rocket behind his shot as well as an abundance of power. Anton is an absolute beast of a player to watch during matches because he knows what he needs to get done during shifts and he knows that, no matter what he is challenged by, he is going to have his goals met. Bokull is basically a brick wall during games and his presence in any rink is known by the time he steps off the bus or on the ice for warm ups. Bokull has created quite the playing style for himself by combining the well known element of power with a fantastic scoring touch. When Anton steps on the ice, he means business and part of that business is keeping the puck in his opponents' zone as much as he possibly can. He has a great structure he has built his playing career on and it is very clear that he is always pushing himself beyond his limitations and beyond the expectations that have been laid upon him. You will almost always find Anton out defending his team or positively steam rolling through his shifts. The Southern Oregon Spartans have always had a notorious edge to their roster, and with the addition of Bokull earlier this season, he has certainly sharpened that edge. Not only does Anton play a very clean game, he has many layers within it that prove his skill level to be complex and forward thinking. He adds quite the spark to the ice when his line is on a shift and is always willing to help out in any way he can. Anton will help rush the puck, he will work the boards to aid his team mates, and he will dangle coast to coast in order to push his team to the finish line. Anton may be a wolf of a player but his love for the game and his passion for the sport shine through every time he is able to gear up and play the game that he loves. You will always see Anton giving 120% and giving the game as much as he can. He is a great player to bring on to a roster because he gives any team strong structure due to his unrelenting ambition and his ability to stay whole under pressure. Bokull is a very versatile thinking skater and has no problem switching from defense to offense and vice versa. He definitely brings wit and cleverness to the ice which pairs very well with his high hockey intelligence. Anton certainly embodies the Spartan mentality which would be (in a round about way of things) fear none, respect all, and play with all your might. Best of luck Anton with the Spartans as well as your future hockey career!
