C D-Jay Jerome - Red Deer Rebels, WHL (2018 Draft)

[Stive Morgan]

Interesting rookie from Red Deer. 5 points in 8 games so far as a 16 year old. One of the greatest names I've ever seen. Anyone got any insight on this kid?

That name doesn't make sense

Oh I was really confused.

I read it as he was a C (centre) or D (defense). I didn't realize his name is actually D-Jay.

Yeah the thread title looks really weird lol. I can just imagine Don Cherry talking about him.

"NOW I'LL TELL YA, LOOK AT THIS JAY JEROME KID, PLAYING BOTH DEFENSE AND FORWARD, WHO DOES THIS GUY THINK HE IS, BRETT BURNS?"

He's been one of the most exciting WHL rookies so far this season though.

Oh he's a centre ok I gotcha

I did not expect a Caucasian..

He scored his first WHL goal in MJ, and his parents were sitting just a couple rows up. Mom was freaking out like, "THAT'S MY SON! THAT'S HIS FIRST GOAL!" It was really awesome to see!

the bounce back

Did he take steroids? How is he having so many points?

 

[Dominance]

Yeah, it’s weird. Shows some promise at first, then regresses hard before suddenly developing an offensive game.
