  1. 1. We are currently 3rd place in the NA conference and outperforming expectations, do you think we can keep it up? I don't see why not if everyone keeps updating. 2. 5 of our top 6 forwards are above point per game, what words of encouragement do you have for @MexicanCow123 who is the odd one out? You wouldn't have that problem if you were AmericanCow123!!!!!111!!!!1! Step it up. 3. What crime would your player get arrested for? Speeding because he drives like an idiot. 4. What's a fun fact about your player? I can barely pronounce his name. 5. If you were going to relocate the Wolves, where would you put them? Québec City 6. Who's the better Reinhart? Tyler or Jerome? Sam
  2. didn't ask him what team he was on sooooo... yeah.
  3. Timothy Brown Lee Xin @OrbitingDeath
  4. wooooooooooops I'm just here for my 1 tpe thank you. I will take L and Cowboy Prout @OrbitingDeath
  5. 1. We recently picked the Jerome brothers 2nd and 3rd overall. Do you think they can live up to the hype? I focus a lot on my player so I have no clue who they are. If they are Wolves, I'm sure they're awesome though. 2. Your player was recently seen in a scandal, what was it? Aike was seen trying to purchase an actual wolf with his absurd wealth. People were not too impressed. 3. Who's your favourite person in the VHL? I don't know the community well enough to say. 4. If you had to build a superhero team of VHL or VHLM players, who would be on it? Just looking at the names on our team, I would pay good money to watch a movie with Napoleon Bonaparte with superpowers fighting an alien invasion or something. 5. Who's going to win the cup this season? The Wolves of course. No point in playing if you don't think you can win. 6. Do you remember what it was like to be a VHL rookie? What's one mistake that you made? Going inactive. Woops.
  6. Obligatory vikings didn't really have horns on their helmet comment Cool logo nonetheless
  7. Its supposed to look weird, his face is made of tater tots
  8. mentioning me to say I don't make the team is cruel man
  9. Aike van Giersbergen - Goaltender Aike van Giersbergen's career prior to moving to America was kind of uneventful. Still, the Philadelphia Reapers gave the young dutch goaltender a chance to prove himself in the VHLM and offered him a contract to finish the season with them. The Reapers had given up a lot to win a championship so their team wasn't... as loaded as one would like. Aike was their starter as soon as he set foot in Philly and put up fairly decent numbers for someone who had literally just joined the team. He'd have a 0.889 saving percentage and a goal against average below 3 in 11 regular season matches with the Reapers. The highlight of his first time in the playoffs was not getting swept but he did pretty horribly in general, with a goal against average of 5.58. Once that was over, the Tytsjerksteradiel native was eligible for the VHLM draft. He had some good discussions with a few teams, notably the Miami Marlins, but ended up being picked way earlier than everybody thought by the Houston Bulls. The Bulls were in need of a starter and Aike was the best option in a draft year lacking talent between the pipes. They weren't willing to risk letting him fall. van Giersbergen did decently in his first season with the Bulls. It was evident from the get-go that he was a well-rounded goalie, excelling at controlling his rebounds and making spectacular saves with his glove. What impressed VHL scouts the most was how clean his technique was while in the blue paint. Unfortunately, as soon as he left it, he made some pretty costly mistakes and had a hard time recovering from them mentally. He often tried playing the puck in his rookie season and that cost the Bulls a few games before he stopped leaving his goal altogether. This was definitely better for Houston but having a goalie who can't manipulate the puck well made it difficult to get out of their zone easily. Aike is also a terrible skater, which made his adventures outside of his goal even more stressful for his teammates and the Bulls fans watching at home or in person. It would also cost the Bulls a couple precious seconds where they could have an extra skater if need be. The Vancouver Wolves were not bothered by the puck handling skills of this prospect and selected him 6th overall in the S78 draft. They knew that under the tutelage of Markus Emerson Jr, he could develop in their goalie of the future. van Giersbergen took Emerson's advices to heart to have another good season in the VHLM and win more playoff games than he ever did before.
