Jake Virtanen


Recommended Posts

Played with his older brother Stefan, very similar player to Jake. Stefan posts Facebook videos of his brother sniping or dangling through d-men all the time. Despite a lack of WHL production this year, the kid has some major skill. However, the question is can he eventually take it to the Pro level. Keep an eye on him. Interesting thing I noticed is that all the videos posted in the topics are the exact same as the ones I saw on fb. Cool to see his brother/or family member recording them through a camera against the tv and uploading on YouTube . You can tell by his username "rvirts"

Hey guys, been a while since Ive posted. Jake has been on fire of late on a line with Victor Rask and Brooks Macek and he is now up to 15 goals 16 assists on the season. Pretty solid for a 16 year old rookie, especially considering how slow of a start he got off to and the time he missed at the U17 challenge. Here are his 14th and 15th of the year, both beautiful goals.

Jake has been very effective so far in the playoffs but not putting up much points. Game 5 was a different story as he buried the 1-1 goal to start the turnaround for his team. Also threw a huge hit on a 6'3 20 year old defenceman. Shows he isnt afraid to throw his body around no matter who it is.
