RIGA REIGN PRESS CONFERENCE May 6th, 2023 1. This team has really turned it around in the second half and has a chance for playoffs. What has been the biggest factor for that? 2. Does the draft pick no longer matter now that your so close to the playoffs? 3. Will The Frenchman get to 40 goals this season - at 36 with 11 games to go? 4. Where would this team be without Henry Tucker Jr and is .925 SV%. 5. How are the NHL playoffs going for you? 6. Is it warm in your location yet? It's still terrible in Newfoundland, Canada.

1. by looking at our record so far, is it time to look forward for the next season already? yes the good news is that we are a rebuilding team. use this season as a tryout for next and go from there. 2. when do you think VHL could get back to good activity levels? remove discord tbh but will never happen 3. if you watch NFL, how did your team did in the draft in your opinion? loved what the steelers did. big fan of every pick they made. JPJ might be a bust but I think you have to pick him because of the history. 4. your opinion on the this season's theme week? it made my my PT very easy so good 5. your opinion on the theme week as a whole? I love the idea - there should be a doubles week every season... but some of the themes could be better. 6. do you plan to stay active on VHL in summer time? I'm barely active now other than submitting PTs and draft time... but when im working I usually visit often.

(TORONTO) Growing Pains? Some may call it a season to forget for the Toronto Legion. Just over the halfway mark, the bluebirds are 15-28-6 with a -47 goal differential. Heading into the season, the expectations were not as high, but some wondered the talented young core could help carry this team to a postseason appearance. Lead by young center Mac Atlas, the Legion are pivoting their vision on the season as another step towards building a strong team, rather than an underdog style push for the playoffs. Center Jimi Jax has previously mentioned the struggle to adapt to the VHL, and its clearly not just showing for the rookie, but the other younger players as well. “It’s a grind – at this point, the message to the team is to just have fun. Use the rest of the way to learn the league, work on your game, and get to know the team.” Jax is currently 6th in rookie scoring, a small bright spot to a season that he admits is not going the way he wanted to. “There were some high expectations that I set for myself, maybe too high. One thing I’m enjoying is this group. We understand that we’re young but have tons of potential. We’re going to work together and come back stronger in the second half of this season and into next season

1. Legion legend Kyle Peace @Peace has been traded to the Vancouver Wolves. What parting words do you have for him? A great all around guy that will be remembered forever in Toronto. It won't be the same without him here and we wish him the best in Vancouver. 2. Are you happy with your progress so far this season? What stat to you hope to improve the most? I was hoping to be much higher in the rookie rankings, but hoping that my second half can help me achieve that. 3. We're just over halfway through the season and we have 14 wins in 42 games. How many wins will we end up with? I would say we can get to 30 wins. The team is starting to click a bit better. Hoping to have a solid finish to the season before the offseason. 4. Who is your pick for team MVP at this point in the season? I've been loving the way Clark plays defense. He's always sacrificing the body to make plays and jumping infront of every shot. 5. Rookie Jimi Jaks @kelvi is among the Top-10 in rookie scoring with 19 points. Can he crack the Top-5 by the end of the season? I certainly hope so - going to keep working on my game! 6. Who is the biggest surprise player in the NHL playoffs? It's currently Game 7 FLA and BOS, so before its over I'm going to say FLA.

1. Still bad. Time to panic? No - lots of games left to turn this around. Just have to keep grinding. 2. What to do to revive Weaver? Let's get some shooting and passing drills going. Give him some easier minutes to get his confidence up. 3. The same for Torq? Same thing - he's always been a good player and eventually the productivity will return. 4. Do you feel activity in VHL has dropped? Yes - very much so. Being on vacation plus home for a few weeks has taken my interest. 5. Your first thoughts on NHL playoffs? The Leafs may win a round?? 6. Do you watch NBA? who you rooting for if the answer is yes? Yes - probably the Kings or even the Knicks.. someone underdogish.

(TORONTO) As we just get past the quarter-mark of the season, Jimi Jax continues to make the most of his rookie season as he adjusts to the speed the VHL brings. The 6’0 center registered his first goal within the first few games but has yet to score ever since and currently sits on 10 points in 20 games which ties in for 6th in rookie scoring. Jax has always been known for his offense, so the lack of production is new to him. Despite having higher expectations for his output as a 2nd line center, he still isn’t too worried about it. “I’m still working on keeping up with the pace of the VHL. It’s a lot different than the E as the talent gap is very significant.” Jax his hoping for the offense to come as it gets closer to the halfway point of the season. He is starting to get comfortable with his new teammates and feels that his confidence grows every shift he gets. He feels that without the management of the Legion, he would be a lot farther behind in his development. “They’ve welcomed me ever since I was drafted and have made it clear to me what the plan has been. I’ve been following the plan and the feedback has been great. I wouldn’t want to be spending my first few seasons with anyone else”.

RIGA REIGN PRESS CONFERENCE April 16th,2023 1. Riga currently sits last in the conference. What do you think has been the main contributor to this unfortunate start? 2. What’s the key to getting back on track in order to make the playoffs? 3. Curtis Crumb currently sits Top 10 in rookie scoring. How well is he adjusting to the VHL? 4. What specifically do you want your player to do more to help this team make the playoffs? 5. The Boston Bruins are the heavy favorite to win the Stanley Cup - do you think they continue the perfect season and if not, who is taking them out? 6. BBQ season is upon us - what is your favourite thing to BBQ?

We’re just about ready to enter the 88th Season of the VHL as training camp opened today as teams gathered for their opening skates. Jimi Jax is coming off a disappointing second half with Oslo in the VHLE last year and is looking to turn a new leaf as he comes into his rookie year with the Toronto Legion. After a tough loss in Game 7 of last years finals, Jaks took a break from the sport and spent some time in a darkness retreat to what he describes as “clearing his mind”. “It was tough for me mentally, I was going through a rough stretch with my offense and then we collapse in the playoffs like that. I felt like I was a huge reason for the loss in Oslo. I had high expectations for myself but didn’t meet them”. Jax only resumed training midway through the offseason once his retreat came to an end. He is back to the gym twice a day and preparing as the unofficial second line center for the Legion. “I’ve been working on my faceoffs, technique and strength. I know it’s a big jump to the VHL and I’m looking forward to it.” What’s the goal for Jax this year? “Fun. Just have fun. I want to enjoy what I do and that starts with appreciating the game while I’m out there”.

1. What does your player do in the offseason? Travels around and sees as much as he can. Goes to music festivals and check out the new gyms in each location as he needs to stay in shape. 2. What has your biggest achievement been in the VHL, VHLE, or VHLM I haven't really won much since I returned but I won the second ever assists title. 3. What's your favourite VHL team other than the one you are on? Vasteras IK because of the nostalgia and they drafted my first ever player. 1. Who is the greatest athlete that you have seen live? 2. What's a food combination or meal that you uncommonly enjoy? 3. What is a feature you think would be really cool to add to the VHL?

RIGA REIGN PRESS CONFERENCE March 29th,2023 1. Riga added Max Torq from free agency - how about a nice welcome for the stud defensemen? 2. Have you contacted any of the new draftees? 3. What's your favorite thing about the offseason? 4. How was the first day of Training Camp as we get back into the season? 5. Are you still invested in the NHL season given how close it is to the playoffs? 6. Rank from best to worst: Pancakes, Waffles, French Toast

this thread reminds me of a parent melting down at their kid in front of everyone at McDonald's playplace

This sig is pretty clean. I like the bold font and colors used in the text helps to make his name stand out as the focal point. The lightned blue background works will with the red/blue text which pairs well with the render. You don't have anything too creative, but there isn't much clutter and its a solid example of a functional sig that meets the bare minimum of an acceptable 6 TPE. Overall, I think this is pretty simply and sweet. It would have been nice to see a VHL-brand involved with it, whether it was a team logo or name though. 8.5/10
