Kevin Fiala – Rey
When “The Force Awakens” hit the scene in 2015, Rey became an instant sensation. My daughters, who I introduced to Star Wars in 2015, were drawn to Rey. Maybe it was because they saw a young girl with great power and potential, but they love Rey.
It is clear Rey is becoming the Star Wars franchise’s powerful star. Her abilities in the Force were awakened and she never looked back.
Like Rey, Kevin Fiala is a young, powerful star in the making. The potential has been there for some time, but now it is on full display. In 2015-16, Fiala earned 16 points on 5 goals and 11 assists in 54 games. So far this year, he has 7 goals and 15 helpers. Oh, that is in 30 games. Fiala has notched a point in each of his last six games, and in seven of his last 10.
Can Fiala be the new young star of the Predators? Certainly. But, just like in Star Wars, we don’t know the full path of Rey. Still, the power is there. The two just need to live up to their promising abilities.
