I really like getting into the stats of all my teammates and just how well we all play together! So i'd like to dedicate this week's article into analyzing every individual players play during this season.
 
So far, the Minnesota Storm are 19-4-3 which gives them 41 points. This great plays puts them first in the Eastern Conference and 2nd overall just behind Houston. This great record is all due to the great stars and depth this team has. Let's dive into the forwards for Minnesota. 
 
Firstly. we'll analyze the First line for the forward group. Playing first player for the Minnesota Storm is Maksym Jankowski @Max12. Jankowski is having an impeccable season, as he's posted 21 goals, and 23 assists which adds up to 44 points! Getting all those minutes and playing against other amazing first lines, he is coming out of the games today as a +19. Jankowski also lays the body pretty heavily as he has 92 hits! Next up is That Dude @Cornholio. This pretty stellar dude has 18 goals and 17 assists making up 35 points. Dude likes to lay the body a bit too with 48 hits! Our last first liner is Brendan Telker @Telkster. Telly is sitting pretty with 19 goals and 24 assists for 43 points. He has a big 112 shots already and comes out with a +22. The average amount of points combining all three of the players is 40.66! Amazing start for this dynamic line.
 
The second line is up next, which consists of Henry Tucker @NotSoGood88 , Nikolas DAndrea @Nikdandrea34, and Brian Moreau @weekz. We'll start with Moreau first, who has 16 goals, 20 assists which accounts for 36 points. 10 points above PPG is pretty good for the second line. Other Notable stats are 128 shots, and a PM of +14. Our second player is DAndrea, who has 12 goals, 13 assists for 25 points. Not the most defensive player as he's a -2, but he can definitely get that up! Our last player is Tucker, who has 8 goals and 21 assists for 29 points. This man is an apple master as it appears with his goal/assist ratio. He is a +1 and has 73 hits! The average amount of points for this line is 30.
 
The third line has Captain Grapes @Grapes-Tophat_Clan- Assist Captain Joseph Sharkton @TheOGShark and Green Gaming @Lilpfigher. Gaming so far has 4 goals and 10 assists for 14 points. He has already tied his previous season record in 40 less games! He is a +4 and has 44 SOG. Sharkton is having a very great season for being on the third line. He has 9 goals and 23 assists for 32 points! Great season for the assistant captain as he also has a +4. Your CAPTAIN, Mr. Grapes so far has 7 goals and 14 assists for 21 points. He's having a better all around game this year, as he has a +10 this year compared to his -30 the previous year. Average amount of points for this line is 22.3
 
Lastly, the fourth line has Gary Tarantino II @Garrett, Brussels Sprouts @Liberty_Cabbage, and Calvin Hobbes @2hawk. Hobbes is doing pretty decent on the fourth line, as he has 4 goals, 5 assists for 9 points. He's a -3 right now, but he still has a lot of growth ahead of him. Brussels Sprouts has 2 goals, 4 assists for 6 points so far. He does pretty good defensively as he has 19 hits and 3 SBs. Gary has 1 goal and 1 assist for 2 points. He is a -7 so far this season. Again, this line still has a lot of growth and for now they serve as good depth for the team. Average amount of points for this line is 5.6.
 
NOW, onto the defensive core for the Storm! First pairing we have myself, Assistant Captain Logan Moore, and Markuss Puhovs. @VOID Stiles. Puhovs has 8 goals, 19 assists for 27 points. He is a +19 and has been a really good offensive presence for this team on the backend. And this is only his 2nd season, which is pretty impressive. Next is Moore, who has 6 goals, 19 assists for 25 points. He is a +19 and plays good both ends up the ice with 107 hits and 46 SBS. There's not kidding these two are one of the most deadliest pairs in the league. Average amount of points for this line is 39.5.
 
Our second defensive pairing is Vincent Correll @correllvincentand Ron World Peace III @stevo. Ron so far has 3 goals and 11 assists for 14 points. He plays a pretty good defensive game with 27 hits and 29 SBS. He also so far is a +15, so a pretty good sophomore showing so far. Correll was recently a trade acquisition from the Marlins. He has 0 points right now, but with our team he has 13 hits and 8 SBS. If he gets a bit more active with point tasks i'm sure he'll blossom perfectly. Average amount of points for this line is 7. 
 
The third defensive pairing consists of Bahram Kamkar @Eagle Eyeand Barron Kruulenstien @LefLop. Barron has 0 goals, but 9 assists which obviously gives him 9 points. His defensive game consists of 27 hits and 18 SBS, coming out with a +1. He is having a pretty decent rookie season, and he can only get better from here on out. Kamkar has 0 goals as well, but 12 points. His defensive game has him with 47 hits and 18 SBS, coming out with a +12. These two make a very good shutdown line, keeping the puck out of the net for our goalie. Average amount of points for this line is 10.5.
 
Our final D-pair is Jacob Oldenburger @Jacob oldenburger and Sean Ramirez. Ramirez so far has 1 goal and 2 assists for 3 points. His defensive game consists of 9 hits and 13 SBs. He's a -6 so far, but he's only a rookie so there's a lot of time for him. Oldenburger is also a rookie, who only has 1 goal so far. His defensive game consists of 25 hits and 5 SBs. He's a -8, but again tons of room to grow and he'll turn into a solid defensive defenseman for this team. Average amount of points for this line is 2. 
 
Oh boy, if you've read this far thank you. We are now moving onto the final position, goaltending. Your starting goaltender, Tator Tot @Trunkxolotl! Tot so far through 16 games has gone 10-3-3, while posting a .891 SV% and 2.99 GAA. Tot is only getting better, as he is getting closer and closer to bringing his SV% up to .900. Here's me hoping he gets there before the end of the season. Our backup goalie, Carter Bellamy @Leafsfan328! So far through 12 games he has a 9-1-0, with a SV% of .879 and 3.08 GAA. I'm assuming the missing wins/losses are from when Tot was pulled and he went in to fill for him. Great tandem between these two, and they're doing great at their job. 
 
This has been a great season so far, and it's all because of these beauties above. Let's continue this dominant play for the rest of the season!

BRING BACK COLOGNE

1) That would be EagleEye because he steals everyone's moves with his eyes.
2) Some rice mixed with chicken, pepper, curry, and lots of vegetables.
3) Like it a lot. Last season we were gearing up for this run and this season the pieces are all falling together. We're in good shape.
4) Of course we will improve, there's lots of depth on the team and we will put in the work necessary.
5) You still owe me money from the strip clubs you thrifty fools.
6) The team that drafted me, LA, though I have no clue about their current record.

Being a franchise points leader for a VHL team is a big honor, and is more often than not highly improbable to achieve in the low-scoring modern VHL. This is almost always a player that is in the Hall of Fame and dominated throughout their career. 
 
However, for the majority of the VHLM teams in the league this is not the case. In fact, if you were to design an experiment to become the points leader for a team, it would not only be possible, it would be fairly easy depending on the team. The method for achieving this is simple: stay bad enough to stay out of the pros, but keep your player good enough to dominate the VHLM. 
 
Here is a short summary of each player’s path in the VHLM, and where they ended up after the fact, if they went anywhere at all. I’ll start with the teams that are currently highest in the standings, and work my way down from there.
 
 
Mexico City Kings 
 
Franchise Leader: LW | Shush Nyko (S69)
 
Player GP G A P +/- PIM HIT SHT SB GWG Shush Nyko 216 126 134 260 87 86 229 907 120 14  
VHLM Career:
Shush Nyko’s member is named SDCore, and he played a total of three seasons with the Kings, from S68-S70. This is a lot for a VHLM player, as it is typical for someone to play a maximum of two. Despite the long time spent in the M, Nyko was not actually inactive during his time with Mexico (though he did eventually go inactive, in May of 2020), and he did go on to play in the VHL.
 
VHL Career:
During his stint in Mexico, Shush Nyko was drafted to the Riga Reign in the S69 VHL draft where he went on to play after his VHLM career ended. His stint in the VHL hasn’t seen a ton of individual production. He has cracked 40 points only a single time in his career, and managed a career high of 51 points which he achieved in S73. Nyko is still playing in Riga today, and he won the cup with them back in S72. Not too bad for someone who spent 3 seasons in the minors.
 
 
Philadelphia Reapers
 
Franchise Leader: RW | Bud Knight (S68)
 
Player GP G A P +/- PIM HIT SHT SB GWG Bud Knight 430 217 347 564 231 241 656 1544 100 29  
VHLM Career:
Bud Knight was a career VHLM player, and his username was Dilly Dilly. Makes me wonder if he was friends with Dil. Anyways, Bud Knight was extremely dominant in his time in the league. Playing during an era where high TPA inactives reigned supreme, Knight had a total of three 100 point seasons, and scored 40 goals a total of four times in a season. Bud Knight played six seasons with the Reapers, from S67-S72, which is insane for a VHLM player. At a glance, it appears that he didn’t even intend to become a career M player, he just went inactive at precisely the right time for Philly to utilize his player for so long. Despite his lengthy tenure in Philly, Bud Knight never won a Founder’s Cup, or an individual award of any kind. His career fizzled out when depreciation began to hit, but it would have regardless with the new rules regarding inactives.
 
VHL Career:
Bud Knight was drafted 53rd overall in the S68 VHL draft to the New York Americans, but he didn’t step foot on a VHL ice surface. 

 
Saskatoon Wild
 
Franchise Leader: C | Josh Stronk (S57)
 
Player GP G A P +/- PIM HIT SHT SB GWG Josh Stronk 242 116 190 306 54 117 306 793 150 9  
VHLM Career:
Josh Stronk, also known as the user BeerFridge, is currently the Saskatoon Wild’s all-time leader in points, (though not for very long, shoutout to Florent Vericel). Josh followed a strange career path in the M, playing for 3 different clubs, and winning a Founder’s Cup with each of them in back to back to back seasons. He played his first three seasons, S56-S58 in Saskatoon. I’m not sure what the story was, but he was presumably cut from the team, as he didn’t play a full season in S59. I’m guessing he was signed by Yukon in free agency, played 48 games and won the Founder’s Cup with them. The following season Stronk went back to Saskatoon, where he won the cup with them. To close out his VHLM career he signed with Oslo in S61, and won the Founder’s Cup for the third straight season. Stronk had a total of two 100 point seasons with the Wild, and three of 70 or more.
 
VHL Career:
I’m not sure what team Josh Stronk was drafted to, but his 3 year entry level contract would’ve been up by the time he entered the VHL, assuming they had those back then. He joined New York in his first season, who I’m guessing he signed with in free agency. Stronk played a full season with New York, and then a full season with Helsinki, scoring 33 and 38 points, respectively. After the year with Helsinki, he did not resign and that was the end of his hockey career.

 
San Diego Marlins
 
Franchise Leader: RW | Roadkill Steve (S68)
 
Player GP G A P +/- PIM HIT SHT SB GWG Roadkill Steve 413 269 259 528 51 143 410 1908 172 24  
VHLM Career: 
Roadkill Steve was the player of stevo, and the first on this list who was intentionally made into a VHLM star. Steve played a total of 7 seasons in the VHLM from S67-S73, and six of them were with San Diego, with the one outlier being a season with the Houston Bulls in S71. He had an impressive stretch from S68-S71, getting 100+ in all four seasons, but then depreciation hit in his final two seasons and he regressed pretty heavily. In Roadkill Steve’s best season in the VHLM, he managed 151 points. Much like Bud Knight, Steve never managed to win a cup or get individual awards of any kind. Maybe this shows that being a career VHLMer doesn’t pay off in the end.
 
VHL Career:
Drafted 42nd overall to Calgary in the S68 VHL draft, did not play. S68 and producing career VHLM players, name a better duo.

 
Miami Marauders
 
Franchise Leader: C | Dakota Lamb (S73)
 
Player GP G A P +/- PIM HIT SHT SB GWG Dakota Lamb 144 81 104 185 40 74 280 684 43 14  
VHLM Career:
Unlike anyone else on this list, Dakota Lamb is a max earner and an active member of the site, dlamb. Lamb had two strong seasons in his stint with Miami, scoring more points in his rookie season than his sophomore season, with 93 and 92. Despite having a strong team in S73, Dakota Lamb and the Miami Marauders failed to claim the Founder’s Cup that season. Lamb finished his VHLM career with no founder’s Cup, and no awards. Miami hasn’t had a career VHLMer in their short time in the league yet, and likely never will due to the new rules regarding inactives.
 
VHL Career:
Dakota Lamb was drafted to the new expansion Warsaw Predators while he was still playing in Miami, 10th overall in S73. Despite losing a year of eligibility, he made up for it in a big way in his rookie season, winning the Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy for top rookie in the VHL. Lamb scored 90 points that season, which as far as I know is a record for points in a season by a rookie. He’s currently on pace for another strong season in S75, with 40 points in 45 games.

 
Las Vegas Aces
 
Franchise Leader: C | Mike Szatkowski III (S57?)
 
Player GP G A P +/- PIM HIT SHT SB GWG Mike Szatkowski III 219 122 140 262 62 107 261 950 73 17  
VHLM Career:
Mike Szatkowski III is a player that the portal doesn’t tell you a whole lot about. It doesn’t say his username, what his TPE was, where he was drafted, or what season his player was (though I’m pretty sure it is S57, based on the fact he played only 3 games in S55). It feels kind of strange to me that a franchise as old as Las Vegas has a scoring leader with so few points. Anyways, Szatkowski III managed to get a few seasons with 100+ points and had a season where he managed to get 68 goals and 69 assists due to the high scoring ways of the S50s. He won a cup with the Aces in S56, though I don’t think he contributed a whole lot as he only had 20 points that season. That’s really all there is to say about him.
 
VHL Career:
After S58 there is no data for stats on his player page so I assume that’s when his career ended, either through retirement or other means. I have no idea if he was drafted or not.

 
Halifax 21st
 
Franchise Leader: RW | Anton Edvin (S64)
 
Player GP G A P +/- PIM HIT SHT SB GWG Anton Edvin 426 184 186 370 74 146 437 1567 163 31  
VHLM Career:
Anton Edvin was a player that unlike most franchise leaders, didn’t have a ton of TPE for the minors. He was just consistent, and played for a very long time. Edvin was created by a user called caltroit_red_flames, who just recently re-created, coincidentally. His first season in the VHLM was with Saskatoon in S63, and he won a Founder’s Cup with them that season. He didn’t accomplish anything else that was meaningful, capping at 81 points in his VHLM career. His final season was S69 with Halifax, meaning he left the league as he entered it, watching Saskatoon win a Founder’s Cup.
 
VHL Career: 
Edvin was drafted 26th overall in the S64 draft to the New York Americans. He went inactive, so he didn’t even come close to going to the VHL. 

 
Yukon Rush
 
Franchise Leader: LW | Apollo Aho (S54?)
 
Player GP G A P +/- PIM HIT SHT SB GWG Apollo Aho 216 142 157 299 79 140 438 1087 55 22  
VHLM Career:
Apollo Aho is another one of those players that are so old that the portal gives very little information about them. Aho played for the Rush for three Seasons from S53-S55, recording 100+ points twice, and one season with 69 points (nice). He did not win any Founder’s Cups, and he didn’t win any awards.
 
VHL Career: 
To give you an indicator of just how old this player is, his one and only season in the VHL was with the Cologne Express in S57. Not sure what he was doing in S56, maybe he took the year off. He recorded 51 points in 72 games. Following S57, Cologne folded and both the team and the player disappeared from the league.

 
Mississauga Hounds
 
Franchise Leader: RW | Michael Mac (S72)
 
Player GP G A P +/- PIM HIT SHT SB GWG Michael Mac 142 71 121 192 -11 64 182 706 81 8  
VHLM Career:
Micheal Mac’s career is not particularly impressive, and he only narrowly beat out second place, Patrik Tallinder, by a single point. Mac’s user was LastOneUp, and he showed great promise before completely disappearing from the site and going inactive. His leaving was a heavy blow for both Mississauga and the league. Mac had a season with over 100 points with the Hounds in S72, and then played for one season in Yukon. He is now an inactive free agent. Like many before him on this list, he won no cups, and received no awards.
 
VHL Career:
He was drafted to the Toronto Legion 21st overall in S72, but disappeared shortly after the draft and went inactive.

 
Houston Bulls
 
Franchise Leader: D | Riley Knight Gee (S72)
 
Player GP G A P +/- PIM HIT SHT SB GWG Riley Knight Gee 212 75 209 284 -47 206 421 621 441 8  
VHLM Career:
Very few franchise leaders have actually seen any kind of individual success in the M, and none so far have been defensemen. With KnightRiley’s player, Riley Knight Gee, this was not the case. Gee was part of the S72 and S73 Houston Bulls squads, and neither were that special. He scored 184 points in those two seasons and Houston was not very good. In S73, his third season in the VHLM, his point production exploded and he recorded 104 assists and 140 points. This effectively doubled his career point total and he took home four individual VHLM awards. The first was the Mitch Higgins trophy, the VHLM’s Most Valuable Player. He also took home the Ethan Osborne and Vladimir Boomchenko trophies, for most points and most assists, respectively. The final award he received was the Ryan Sullivan trophy for top defenseman. S73 would end up being Gee’s last season in the M.
 
VHL Career:
Riley Knight Gee was drafted 32nd overall in S72, to the Prague Phantoms, where he is currently still playing today. His first season in the VHL was pretty average and he put up 38 points on a Prague team that just narrowly missed playoffs after being swept by Helsinki in the play-in round. Gee is currently on pace to score even less this season due to playing on Prague’s second defense pairing. He has 18 points in 44 games as of today.

 
Minnesota Storm
 
Franchise Leader: D | Danny DeYeeto (S67)
 
Player GP G A P +/- PIM HIT SHT SB GWG Danny DeYeeto 360 117 317 434 275 601 1112 917 460 17  
VHLM Career:
When someone thinks of a career VHLMer one of the most notorious is likely Cran’s player, Danny DeYeeto. He played a total of seven seasons in the VHLM, his first in Mississauga, then a two year stint in Minnesota. He signed with Saskatoon and won a Founder’s Cup with them in S69, and that Saskatoon team was one of the most dominant in league history. He also won the Mitch Higgins, the VHLM’s MVP, Ethan Osborne for most points, and Ryan Sullivan for top defenseman in S69. He came back to Minnesota and won another Founder’s Cup in S70, and played the rest of his VHLM career there, leaving in S72. DeYeeto was able to put up three 100+ point seasons.
 
VHL Career:
Danny DeYeeto was drafted 39th overall in S67 by the New York Americans, though he would never play a game with them. Although he has a rep for being a career VHLM player, he actually did play a season in the VHL. In S73, he signed with the new expansion Warsaw Predators, and had a campaign where he scored 38 points in 72 games. He did not play the following season, and retired soon after.

 
Ottawa Lynx
 
Franchise Leader: LW | Iangenere Risteneen (S70)
 
Player GP G A P +/- PIM HIT SHT SB GWG Iangenere Risteneen 216 166 186 352 156 110 345 1170 93 23  
VHLM career:
Iangenere Risteneen was a player created by a user named Maasa, and he was not a career player, he just happened to go inactive and get cut from the team. Risteneen played a total of three full seasons with Ottawa, and he was well over a point per game in each, scoring over 100 points twice. He was a big part of Ottawa’s Founder’s Cup win in S71, scoring 20 points in 14 games in the playoffs that year. S71 would be his last season with Ottawa. After a 2 season hiatus, he came back to the VHLM and played a single season with Halifax in S74, scoring 67 points in 72 games.
 
VHL Career:
Iangenere Risteneen was drafted 6th overall to the New York Americans in S70, (I’m starting to notice a pattern here), and hasn’t played with New York, or anyone else in the VHL.
 
 
 
 

um ok

Well, here we go again I guess. Writing these kind of articles is tiresome, but the things we do for some uncapped TPE elsewhere are mind-boggling.
Minnesota is kind of in between this season is what I've gathered, but if I read everything the team is gearing up for a better run next season so that's alright I guess. With my earning habits, I will not be on the brink of entering the big league anyway for the foreseeable future - not that I intend to, because the fact that I haven't even crossed 100 TPE that close before the draft combined with the rule that the eight season clock starts right after being drafted.
Considering World Peace, he has cooled off a bit after a red hot start into the regular season. There was a point where he led all defenseman in the VHLM in scoring, but those days are long gone to nobody's surprise. For his TPE numbers, his production is still a lot better than I would, or could, have expected. I try to keep going because I think that the management group is competent and focused on doing their best despite the shitty cold weather up here in Minnesota.

I owe a huge apology to @MexicanCow123, @fromtheinside, and the entire Yukon Rush locker room. Last week I completely forgot to include their team in my report. I won't make any excuses for that and I sincerely apologize!
 
If you would like to keep track of your team's week by week stats (other than GAA and SH%) make sure to check out the Google Sheets document to see that information.

---
Week 2 in the VHLM S75 has come to an end and there were certainly some exciting changes. We saw trades happen between Yukon and Ottawa early in the week, and then last night at the end of the week between San Diego and Ottawa. Many teams across the league signed waiver players, hoping to add to their chances for the Founder's Cup! 
 
League standings have fluctuated greatly over this last week, and the only team that saw absolutely no move was Ottawa.
 
Just like last week, each team will have an Offensive Star, Defensive Star, and some awards. This is based on weekly performance, not current team or league leaders.
 
Some of you suggested that I switch up the awards, however I'm going to stick with the awards from last week for each team. HOWEVER, if you think of an award that a player deserves to get make sure you tag them in the comments with what that award is. Don't forget to include why they get it!
*Teams are presented in order of League Overall Standing
 
Mexico City Kings (22-3-3)
GM - @Hylands AGM - @rory
Offensive Star - While not necessarily scoring the most points for his team this week, this player brought in 26 points over 17 GP. Setting up his team with 16 assists, this week's Offensive Star is Magnus Verlander @Jbeezy76!
 
Defensive Star - Mexico City's defensive was incredible this week, blocking 108 shots together (this isn't including their offense who blocked shots either). However, one player stands out. Much like last week, this player continues to block shots, lay out some massive hits, and be the teams leading points earner for defensemen. This week the Defensive Star is King Kruul @LefLop!
 
Wanna Be Goalie Award - Hulk Hogan Jr @Beaviss with 29 SB. Hey, brother!
Rule Breaker Award - King Kruul @LefLop with 22 PIM
Snow Plow Award - Justin Lose @youloser1337 with 42 hits
 
Philadelphia Reapers (22-4-1)
GM - @DMaximus AGM - @Spence King
Offensive Star - This player certainly made their presence known on the ice! Bringing in 30 points and delivering 66 hits, this week's Offensive Star is Addison McLaren @tcookie25!
 
Defensive Star - This defender continues to be an important asset. Collecting 22 points, maintaining a high +/- of 28, laying out 42 hits and even blocking 19 shots, this week's Defensive Star is Jolly Greene Giant @DoktorFunk
 
Wanna Be Goalie Award - Bob Tristan @N0HBDY with 20 SB
Rule Breaker Award - Addison McLaren @tcookie25 with 38 PIM

San Diego Marlins (18-8-1)
GM - @InstantRockstar AGM - @IamMOOSE
Offensive Star - This was a tough decision to make. Two players stand out the most with 23 points each. However, only one of them delivered more hits and took on more penalties, and that would be Nero Endrizzi @Jonessee27!
 
Defensive Star - This defender once again finds themselves being the Defensive Star for San Diego. With 22 points, 42 hits, and 39 SB we HAVE to give this to Cowboy Prout @Prout!
 
Wanna Be Goalie Award - Cowboy Prout @Prout with 39 SB
Rule Breaker Award - We have a tie between Cowboy Prout @Prout and Phil The Rock Johnson @Phil both with 24 PIM

Saskatoon Wild (16-8-3)
GM - @Doomsday AGM - @a_Ferk
Offensive Star - With the team's highest +/- for the week at 10, scoring 24 points on 19 assists, and holding one of the lowest PIMs of 2 this week, we have to go with Vivek Weiner @coochiman
 
Defensive Star - Two defenders stuck out this week in Saskatoon. Both brought in about the same number of points and have a very similar +/-. While Gabriel Johnson @GeckoeyGecko blocked an insane 27 shots blocked, Battre Sandstrom @Acydburn  was busy laying down 29 hits. With that in mind, one player was able to score 2 GW goals for the Wild while also keeping a relatively low PIM of 22. Congratulations to Battre Sandstrom @Acydburn

Miami Marauders (15-12-0)
GM - @Ricer13 AGM - @Zetterberg
Offensive Star - While many may have expected last week's Offensive Star, Cabe McJake @RedSus to keep his title this week, we have a change! This player brought in 20 points, kept a fairly low number of PIM at 12 and even delivered 22 hits. Congratulations to Nathan Perry @tinafrombobsburgers!
 
Defensive Star - This defender did not score the most points as far as defenders go for Miami. However, they have the second highest number of points for a defender at 10, 31 hits and even blocking 16 shots! Congratulations to Martin Master @Martin Bradac!

Halifax 21st (13-13-2)
GM - @Dil AGM - @Riley_Couture
Offensive Star - Again, this player shows Halifax that they are a points earner. Bringing in 28 points and having the team's highest +/- of 12, this week's Offensive Star is Dolant Fertitta @Dolant!
 
Defensive Star - It was a tough decision this week as far as a Defensive Star goes. Two defenders stood out with almost the same number of points and hits. However, one of these players was able to earn 17 points, have a +/- of 6, deliver 29 hits and block 23 shots. This week we select Rick Osman @dylanjj37!

GM - @rjfryman AGM - @MattyIce

Defensive Star - As far as defenders go, only 1 shines bright! This defender leads the team with 12 assists, has the team's lowest PIM of 4 and even blocked 17 shots. It's clear that the Defensive Star for the Hounds is Gustav Hjalmarsson @McLovin!

Minnesota Storm (8-17-1)
GM - @Rayzor_7 AGM - @Mr_Hatter
Offensive Star - Leading Minnesota with 19 points and the most assists at 12, Minnesota has one player who continues to push for offensive movement in their games, and that is why this week's Offensive Star is once again Joseph Sharkton @TheOGShark!
 
Defensive Star - While there doesn't seem to be much defense going on in Minnesota, one player seems to be attempting to propel the Storm forward. Not only did they block 44 shots, but they also have 15 points this week with 10 assists. Congratulations, once again, to Ron World Peace III @stevo!

Ottawa Lynx (2-24-1)
GM - @DoktorFunk AGM - @DarkSpyro
Offensive Star - This player was traded into Ottawa at the beginning of the week, made their presence known, and then was traded away to San Diego. In that week this player scored 13 goals and delivered 10 assists. This player demonstrated a desire to help Ottawa move forward. Congratulations to Makism Yakolevsky @Nepto and good luck in San Diego!
 
Defensive Star - It's hard to tell if Ottawa is taking the old saying of "the best defense is a good offense" too literally. Whatever it is, it isn't working. However, one player continues to strive for success, despite their team's current standing. Mustering up 8 points, delivering 25 hits, and attempting to help his poor goalie by blocking 30 shots, the Defensive Star in Ottawa is Chester McCork @mcjosd. Congratulations!
 
Wanna Be Goalie Award - Chester McCork @mcjosd with 30 SB
Rule Breaker Award - We have a tie between Ishmael iqbal @mcsquishy (currently released) and Rei Guy @Reeeee with 16 PIM
Snow Plow Award - Philip Stein @IHateBobNutting with 29 hits
 
Goalies
Instead of providing awards to each team's goalies, since there are normally only two options per team, we are going to highlight one goalie per week who holds the best SV% for the week (must play a majority of the team's games). The goalie with the highest SV% for the week will be awarded the Brick Wall Award.
*we were evaluating GAA/week but the amount of time it would take to figure that out is way too high
 
Brick Wall Award - This goalie not only captured 1 SO this week, but they also continue to come in clutch for their team! With a .912 SV% for the week, we have to give this week's Brick Wall Award to the Philadelphia Reaper's starting goaltender, Jacob Carson @jacobcarson877!
 
League Overall
Only leading Philadelphia by two points so far, the Mexico City Kings took the lead this week with 42 points. Winning 9 games in a row, the eyes of the world are now on Mexico City. Will they be able to hold their #1 position? It's still too early to tell.
 
Last week we wondered if Ottawa would be able to get something other than "0" in their win column, and they did! Now, with 2 wins, Ottawa leads the league in most losses and goals against! Morale continues to be low in Ottawa, but there has certainly been a lot of movement with trades and releases. It's clear that this season is one of rebranding and growth for Ottawa. We are left wondering, what's next for the Lynx?

More than 500 words. Claiming for week ending 6 December 2020.

These words right here are my first written PT words in a loooooong ass time I guess. I know I didn't write nothing with my two most recent players, Roadkill Steve and No Points, because they were simply weren't worth the effort. Sometimes you just know a project is defined to fail, right from the get go. That was the case with Roadkill, because I don't know how to build a solid forward player, and very much so with No Points, because he was a forward as well.
 
Now I'm onto my next defenseman, Ron World Peace III, and it's been a blast thus far. I'm a player on the Minnesota Storm and for some reason the guy is producing a lot more stats than his attributes call for. I'm pretty sure that this trend of overperformance will come to a timely ending. That being said, for now his performance is very easy to look at.
 
I'm not entirely up-to-date on the latest rule changes in the league since the last time I was actually really invested in the league and my player. I guess the eight season countdown still starts after the big league draft, regardless of whether I go up right away or spend another two to three seasons down in the M? If that's still the case: Shame. I won't be playing in the VHL then. Again.
