Lionel Messi, Wayne Rooney, Demar DeRozan and Neymar all have two things in common: 
They wear number 10 and are all younger than Arnel Sugui. Coincidence? I think not. 

What Manny Pacquaio is to the Phillipines, Arnel is to The Entrance Hockey Club (minus the aggressive Religious beliefs). The self appointed ‘King of the Stick Shield’ has been a proud Devil for over 20 years and has single handily kept multiple kinesiology/strapping tape companies in business since coming out of retirement last season. Due to that early retirement in 2016, upon his return, fantasy owners were able to get him in their lineup for next to nothing and his consistent production rewarded their faith in that investment each round. Don’t expect to pick him up for the same price as his value is set to sky rocket for the upcoming 2020 season. Ageing like a fine wine, put him anywhere on the field and he will have a immediate and lasting impact on the game. Although, in his return to hockey, he has dedicated himself to defence. To prove that point, he seemed to flat out refuse to score a goal in the entirety of the 2019 season even when given opportunities. Most importantly though, no one, and I can’t stress this enough, NO ONE, can rock full length skins and a singlet like Number 10. Elevating the fashion game since 1980. 
Did his return in ‘19 make him solely responsible for the Devils CCHA 1st Division Men’s Premiership? If you ask him, yes.
