I personally blame her parents.

Straight out of Sugar Rush, Vanellope von Schweetz takes on hockey. von Schweetz grew tired of tearing up the racing scene and is now taking on the blue line in the VHLM. von Schweetz recently struck a deal with the defending champion San Diego Marlins, who are poised to make another run. But what does Vanellope von Schweetz bring to the Marlins blue line, and beyond? Pros: Skating: Speed has always been something that has come naturally to Vanellope von Schweetz as a racer. This transitioned to skating, as when she is on the ice, she is one of the fastest skaters out there. von Schweetz is the first one back on defense and quick to follow her fellow forwards into the zone for an offensive rush. Reliable skating gives her the ability to be such a strong part of both zones. Offense: one of Vanellope von Schweetz’s major upsides is her offensive game. She is a strong power play QB, and is one of the best defenseman during the transition through the neutral zone to the offensive zone. Her slapshot from the blue line is dangerous. Even if it doesn’t find the back of the net, it definitely generates an offensive rebound for her teammates. Puck handling: Vanellope von Schweetz has some of the best set of hands you will see on a hockey player. Once she gets possession of the puck it is difficult to get it off of her. Scouts tribute von Schweetz’ puck handling as a big factor to her offensive success. When you’re able to dance your way into the offensive zone, it’s a recipe for success. Cons: Size: One downside to Vanellope von Schweetz is her size. She is not tall, nor is she big. So this makes von Schweetz vulnerable to getting hit, and limits her reach for the poke check. von Schweetz compensates for this with her speed and puck handling. Although she is small, she is still hard to get off the puck even physically with her superior puck handling. Discipline: Because von Schweetz finds herself on the receiving end of hits, this can lead to frustration. Frustration can lead to unnecessary penalties. von Schweetz is known to be quite the hot head, and will get into it with someone who has delivered her one too many hits. Thing is, she doesn’t do her team any favors being in the box. Her team needs her on the ice for the power play, not being the cause of a penalty kill.

We have read the intrigues of past snubs throughout the week so far, but what about potential future snubs? The VHL has seen some great players, but only the truly elites make it into the Hall of Fame. Toronto Legion center Ronan Lavelle is on the final stretch of his career. Lavelle has had an interesting run, and one that will at least be worth looking at by the board to see if he is worthy of getting in the big hall. Starting off ice cold in DC, to a clutch cup winner, to one of the best forwards in the league in Moscow. Can he seal the deal with the Toronto Legion? Ronan Lavelle has played for the DC Dragons the first half of his career and the Moscow Menace and Toronto Legion in the later half. Lavelle has found great success wherever he has gone production wise. Currently, Lavelle sits just shy of 700 career points at 699, has eclipsed 300 career goals and is on the verge of hitting 400 career assists. After a rough rookie season of scoring just 40 points as a member of the DC Dragons. Lavelle has scored at least 90 points, and 38 points each season, including two seasons over the century mark in points and two 50+ goal seasons. Lavelle gives credit to his start to HOF Menace and Dragon forward, Duncan Idaho who was a huge help for Lavelle elevate his game, and get his confidence where he needs it to be. Lavelle has earned a trophy named after himself for MVP in the VHLE. He then won the Dustin Funk Trophy for most improved in S84. Lavelle has two Mike Szatkowski Trophies and a Brett Slobodzian to match. You can see Lavelle was very well decorated in Moscow, he had the chance to play with forward Tomas Sogaard and defenseman Hammar Voss. Lavelle and Sogaard took turns getting the goal scoring title, and were shipped off to Toronto together. Another chance for something great? Both are hoping for an opportunity beyond the regular season. They still have a little less than half a season to finish the story. Although Lavelle has been apart of 3 different squads, there is definitely a sense of loyalty to him as well. He spent half his career in DC, and then said he would spend the rest of his career in Moscow. When Moscow decided it was time to take a step back to rebuild, Lavelle put the team first and allowed them to trade him to get in much needed value. Will leadership also play a part here? Ronan Lavelle has not only been decorated in the regular season, but has had success in the post season as well. For one, he has never missed the postseason in the VHL. Lavelle paved the way for the DC Dragons Continental Cup in S85, as he won the Daisuke Kanou Trophy honors as the playoff MVP. Overall Lavelle has 79 career playoff points in 56 games. A very even 39 goals and 40 assists for the balanced forward. Perhaps another impressive postseason run here could be the make or break for the 3 team forward? Lavelle’s success in Moscow was unfortunately stunted by early playoff exits. Those are team based, but one has to wonder how such talented teams got bounced so early and often fro the big show. Were the Moscow Menace FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY themselves?!

You deserved it AJ, I hope we see you back in the M soon my man! It’s not the same without your energy.

Honored to wear the A for Toronto for Lavelle’s final season and first with the Legion! @v.2 no doubt deserves that C being the franchise player of this squad and all he does for the team behind the scenes. Joining him is the other guy who will make Toronto dangerous for a long time alongside Atlas, @kelvi excited to see what Jaks has to bring this season and beyond! LFG Legion!

The defending S89 Founder’s Cup Champion Marlins are back and ready to defend their title. Another talented squad has been put together and it is my honor to announce our captains circle for this upcoming season. [C] Eric White Jr For the first time in what feels like an eternity, the Marlins must select a captain! One of the defending champion Marlins is returning for more glory. The Marlins were thrilled to get Eric White Jr@Mysterious_Fish back in the draft, not just talent wise but for his leadership role. White has easily been one of the biggest voices in the locker room and has a big input on the direction of the team. It has clearly been very valued by management, and White was a no brainer to rep the C for the fish in S90 [A] Leif Reingaard A huge draft day surprise for the Marlins was that Reinhard @Zetterbergdropped down to them in the late first round. Not only did the Marlins land one of the best players in the draft, they got one hell of a personality with it. Z has been an incredible addition to the Marlins locker room and recruitment front. It’s only the off-season and Reingaard has already been an incredible asset in San Diego, I can only imagine what value he will bring on the ice as well. [A] Olober Syko I usually do not select goaltenders to wear the letter due to the rules in most leagues in regards to it. But how do you not pick a guy like @Spartan ? We know we are getting the most healthy earner of this era of the VHL, but we are also getting one of the biggest locker room atmosphere players as well. Syko knows how to get a conversation going but stop the puck at the same time. We are thrilled to have him.

It was the best shock I could ask for, I did not think there was a snowball’s chance in hell you’d be there. I’m glad it worked out the way it did and we got you on board!

Will Sjin make it to the VHL before recreating?!

It is hard to believe Ronan Lavelle is entering his final season. It seems like just yesterday Lavelle was an S82 prospect awaiting his draft year. Lavelle’s career has been a very fun ride. From “Lavelle sim” after a rocky rookie season, to a Continental Cup, then on to become the scoring leader in the ole whole VHL. The Beginning: Ronan Lavelle entered S83 as a rookie as a member of the DC Dragons. Lavelle was selected 7th overall by DC, and had just won the scoring title for the Geneva Rush of the VHLE. The MVP Trophy then was renamed the Ronan Lavelle Trophy. The expectations were high for the young Dragon. Lavelle started off his career with fire out of the gate. Lavelle would record 2 goals in his first career game. This amazing start would not last however as Lavelle would only find the back of the net 11 more times over the next 71 games and scored 40 total points. Expected for a rookie campaign? Sure. Disappointing to him? Absolutely. To make matters worse, DC got swept 3-0 by their rival Chicago Phoenix. The silver lining is Lavelle scored twice in the series and was a point per game player. The S85 Cup: The S85 season would be a special one for Ronan Lavelle and the DC Dragons. The Dragons themselves weren’t by any means an elite tier team record wise during the regular season. They finished third in the North American Conference with 84 points. Ronan Lavelle had his best season to date with 98 points including 46 goals which led the Dragons in points. Lavelle led everyone in the playoffs with 26 points which won him the playoff MVP honors. This would be Lavelle’s second trophy of an impressive collection as he hoisted the Continental Cup up after sealing the deal against the Moscow Menace in 5 games. Lavelle was thriving in individual hardware as well as the one that means the most. The Dragons were champions, Ronan Lavelle was a champion. Back to Back Scoring Titles: Ronan Lavelle was chasing the high of another Continental Cup. With DC entering the end of its current competitive cycle, Lavelle had a new home in Moscow. Forward to the S88 season, Lavelle has hit another career milestone. Win a scoring title! Lavelle would go on to lead the league in points with 109. Lavelle and linemate Tomas Sogaard who won the goal title took the league by storm. The crazy part? Lavelle would somehow one up himself again in S89. Lavelle won the scoring title by 1 point, finishing with 115 points. This time, Lavelle was the goal scorer. He went on to lead the league in goals with 56. At this point in Lavelle’s career, he has one season left to try to get himself into any kind of Hall of Fame discussions. How will he fair?

The long wait is over at last, one of the longest droughts seen in many years. The San Diego Marlins have won the S89 Founders Cup, the first time since S86. This means they had faced a whole 3 season drought. This span had tortured the poor San Diego fanbase. But still, the fans stayed loyal and they did not lose any season ticket holders. The S89 season was special to this Marlins squad, as it had a special group. Marlins Captain Sjin was the only member of both the S86 and S89 championship rosters. “It was great to finally break through and win it all. It was a huge relief.” Captain Sjin said. “We know the fans have been waiting a long time for this, we are only sorry we couldn’t get it done sooner after S86. Sjin concluded. The S89 off-season had many question marks surrounding the Marlins after a good S88 run. Only Sjin and Brad Marchand were returning. The Marlins would have to build through the draft despite not having a 2nd round pick. It is difficult to establish a core when you need to find a goaltender and address every other field. The Marlins went with a familiar face, defenseman Marty Byrd who was a critical waiver pickup in S88. It was expected by many, and San Diego was very pleased to get Marty back. Later in the 1st round the Marlins were also able to get fellow waiver hero Baby Moo Moo back! Moo Moo was the best forward for the Marlins in the S88 playoffs. In the 3rd round, Marlins GM Zach Arce got crafty and unconventional. He drafted goaltender Clark which shocked many. San Diego had spoken to Clark quite a few times prior to the draft and decided he was going to be their backbone in S89. The Marlins next selected in round 4 and chose Tyrece the beast to get some scoring help on the offensive front. Another unconventional move? Sure but Tyrece was on the rise at this point. In round 6, the move that really pushed the Marlins to contender status. The Marlins decided to roll some dice and selected forward Savaisk Tzesar who was on the fence of which league he’d play in. One conversation with Arce, and Tzesar was playing down for the Marlins! The Marlins headed into the season knowing it would be a difficult task with teams like Philadelphia, Houston and Mexico City competing with them. They had FIVE waiver pickups over the course of this incredible run. All of which played a big part of their run. They picked up three defensemen which gave them their 4 defensmen core in Vladimir Kozlov, Factor Lee and Joseph Dubois. They were also joined by forwards Eric White Jr. and Afonya Romanov, both showing very noticeable progress throughout the season. The Philadelphia Reapers established themselves as the #1 seed of the VHLM early on and got a very sizable led to secure that. San Diego battled all season long with Houston for the #2 seed and it came down to the last two games of the season. The result? The Marlins would finish 3rd overall by ONE point. Brad Marchand carried the team with a tied league lead of 99 points and leading 46 goals for the season. Meanwhile the team was able to rely heavily on goaltender Clark, who had a Devereux like season. In the playoffs, the Marlins would play a talented Halifax 21st team. It was uncertain who would win this series. The Marlins would take it in 5 games, but in a series much close than that number shows. There were 3 games in the series that could have gone either way. The difference? San Diego had Clark and Halifax didn’t. The Marlins then went on to book their ticket to the Founders Cup final after disposing Ottawa in 5 games as well! San Diego had success against Philadelphia in the regular season. But that means nothing, none of anything that happened during the regular season at this point. Philadelphia was not only the defending champs, they were the top seed. The Marlins were ready. They split both games in Philly 1-1. Games 3 and 4 would set the tone for the series. San Diego took both games! Both games could have gone either way. Clark shut the door. San Diego had the most difficult task now. Winning that final game against this Reapers team. They did it! Kozlov opened up the scoring, then Tyrece struck right after! The door would be closed by Baby Moo Moo. A 3-1 final, a champion was to be crowned! Clark with another stellar performance and this deserving Marlins squad was hoisting the cup. The team all worked so hard. Many players asking for Jody’s e approvals constantly, something every VHLM GM wants to see. The best and worst part? Many of these guys will move to the VHLE next season. Great because Arce has done his job to help players take the next step. Bitter because these players will be so missed. What lies ahead for the S90 Marlins? We will see after another mass team reset and a slew of draft picks!
