Biscuits and Breezers



 

     Welcome back to another blog of Biscuits and Breezers! I have another College Spotlight player for you today and this time it is Unviersity of Wisconsin - Eau Claire forward Colton Wolter!
 
 
 
Biscuits and Breezers' College Spotlight Player:
Colton Wolter
 
 
Height: 6 ft 0 in
Weight: 190 lbs
Hometown: Fairbanks, Alaska, USA
 
 

  Starting his freshman year at UW-Eau Claire, Wolter can boast being a reigning NAHL Robertson Cup champion, but as we all know, junior hockey and college hockey are on completely different pages. Colton, however, is going into his first year of college puck full steam ahead. Wolter checked out of last season with 51 goals in 58 games played and a whopping 102 PIMs. Colton is an outstanding player and plays an excellent game. He is the type of forward that, when he has the puck, you are on the edge of your seat because you know the lamp will be going off shortly. He plays a very big game and is always full force. Every play is executed at 100% or it isn't executed at all. He gives everything he has to the logo on the front of his jersey. He has wicked puck handling skills and can break through any defensive line ready to either get the puck in the five hole or set one of his team mates up for a sweet top cheese geno. Colton is not an extreme mucker but when things need to get done, he will step up and help out his team any way he can. Colton will work the boards, he will throw in some huge checks here and there, and he will drop the mitts any time it is needed. He can absolutely rocket around the ice and has incredible on ice vision. Nothing gets past Colton Wolter. The player that comes to mind first when thinking of a skater who Colton resembles would be Chicago Blackhawks left wing Patrick Sharp without a doubt. Both have a finesse for scoring and both bring their best games to the ice every night. Both are willing to put in some elbow grease to bring home the W's and both look out for their team mates. All of his skills will definitely transfer over to accommodate the style of college hockey but the real thing that will push him ahead of the pack is his ever changing game. Wolter has a base game just like every player, but depending on the players and teams he goes up against, you really never know what to expect. One night he could bring an immense physical game with a goal or assist here and there, picking off pylons and benders, but the next night he could bring out a game that is goal after goal after goal. That is Colton's key to success. We have all heard the term, "Expect the unexpected" at least once in our lives but when you are playing against Colton Wolter you have to be on guard at all times because to expect the unexpected you would have to expect every possible style of game coming at you all at once. That's also a reason why he was assistant captain of one of the most successful NAHL teams for two seasons in a row. Colton, in my opinion, will be a great college hockey player and has an incredibly bright future in the sport. Wolter is an absolutely amazing skater.
 
 
Best of luck Colton with University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire!

Spotlight Player Emil Travergard       Biscuits and Breezers         Welcome back to another blog for Biscuits and Breezers! This is another post for the Spotlight Player series, and the player featured today, is a prime example of the defensive qualities that are capable in blue liners. Trending on an upward slope, this particular player brings fire to the ice as well as quite the chill. He may be an independent skater, but he is almost always his team's biggest supporter in the long run.

Jamie Zaleski Biscuits and Breezers    Welcome back to another blog of Biscuits and Breezers! Today you will be able to meet and get to know FHL Danville Dashers center Jamie Zaleski a little bit better. You don't come across a player very often that is so passionate about the sport that he takes immense pride in every game he plays or every time he represents his team, but today I believe I was able to talk to one of those chosen few. Jamie is an amazing player who beams passion and talent every time he walks onto the ice for a game and when you see him play, I guarantee that by the end of the game you will be as stunned as I was when I first watched a Dashers game. Zaleski is the perfect player seeing that he has the ideal combinations of aggressive and physical plays, speed, and can score whenever it needs be. I have seen some pretty aggressive players in my time but Jamie Zaleski is the definition of aggression out on the ice. His hits are almost alway...

#32   Biscuits and Breezers          Welcome back to another blog of Biscuits and Breezers! In this blog we will talk about the Oilers' team regrowth and Wild prospect Mario Lucia breaking his leg. Starting off with the Edmonton Oilers. I have recently talked about Taylor Hall's signing and now we have another. This time it's Jordan Eberle's turn. He was just inked to a 6 year $36 million contract extension on Tuesday. With one year left on his entry level contract, this extension will keep him as the new youthful generation of players until the 2018-2019 season. Hopefully with Nail Yakupov, Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, they can produce a team almost as good as in the Gretzky era. Just give them a few years and maybe they will rise up and become a main threat again. We will see! Good luck Jordan with the new contract! I am quite excited to see the upcoming team.     Next thing we will talk about is Ma...
