  1. I would like to do this if for nothing else I can get more familiar with the league
  2. Greetings and salutations. I will throw my hat in specifically for Miami but would run any of them if chosen. Thanks for your consideration.
  3. 1. NHL Playoffs are upon us. Who are you rooting for? Oilers or Jets for me 2. VHL/M playoffs are here too. Who are you rooting for in both leagues? I haven’t been back long enough to form an opinion. 3. VHLM and VHL draft are approaching. Are you excited for your player’s next journey? Im hoping I don’t have to journey, would love to stay in Miami but it’ll be fun regardless. 4. Off-season is here for us. Are you excited to participate in World Junior Showcase or Pro-Am tournament? im excited to see what my new player can do, the new player building system is a challenge for me to figure out so I look forward to seeing how it works out. 5. What do you like most about the Victory Hockey League? For me, it’s the people. it’s fun seeing old members I haven’t talked to in a while and it’s also fun getting back into graphic work again. 6. For $1 million would you attempt to eat 60 Reese’s Peanut Butter cups (big cups) in one hour? if I can blend them into some milk and run them through my ninja creami no problem.
  4. Bash McMurray, once hailed as one of hockey’s most promising young power forwards, is facing a storm of criticism following a lackluster season and an increasingly tumultuous off-season. The 27-year-old winger, known for his aggressive style and heavy slapshot, struggled mightily this year, managing just 9 points in 16 games — a far cry from his 30-goal breakout performance just two seasons ago. Fans and analysts alike have speculated that McMurray’s struggles may be rooted in more than just poor form. His conditioning was questioned early in the season, and by mid-year, he had been demoted to the third line. Rumors of locker room tensions circulated, although team officials dismissed them as exaggerated. Now, with the season behind him, McMurray’s off-ice behavior has added fuel to the fire. He was recently involved in a bar altercation in downtown Calgary, where witnesses say he was “visibly intoxicated and belligerent.” No charges have been filed yet, but the incident has sparked concern among team executives. While McMurray’s talent is undeniable, questions about his discipline and focus are beginning to overshadow his potential. With one year left on his contract, this off-season could determine whether he rebounds — or becomes a cautionary tale
  5. In what may go down as the most bizarre penalty in hockey history, rookie enforcer Bash McMurray found himself ejected from Tuesday night’s game after an altercation with, of all things, a pickle. The chaos began during the second intermission when a local vendor tossed a promotional pickle mascot, “Dil the Dill,” onto the ice for a fan-friendly “Pickle Puck Toss.” Dil, a six-foot-tall inflatable cucumber with a dream and questionable balance, slipped dramatically near center ice. McMurray, assuming this was some new form of trash talk, skated over and hip-checked the mascot into the boards. “He looked at me funny,” McMurray later explained. “I’ve seen that look before — usually right before someone drops the gloves.” Witnesses say McMurray then attempted to fight the inflatable vegetable, landing two punches before realizing he was punching a nylon air pocket with googly eyes. Security was forced to intervene when McMurray tried to put the pickle in a headlock and shouted, “You think you’re brined, but I’ll pickle you!” The league has suspended McMurray for two games, citing “unnecessary roughness against produce.” Dil is reportedly shaken but not stirred, currently recovering at the team’s fridge with a side of ranch dressing. McMurray has since apologized, stating, “I thought he was a mascot for the other team. I didn’t know dill could be so aggressive.” The rematch next week? It’s already being billed as McMurray vs. The Relish Revenge.
  6. 1. The Marauders have picked up some beauty players. Even though were eliminated from playoffs has it been fun with the new crew of fresh faces for you? The locker room is top notch, great group of people and I love it so far. 2. Draft is approaching. Any ideas where you think your player will go in draft? Next season probably end of the first round, maybe start of the second. 3. Who is your dark horse in the NHL playoffs to cause havoc in playoffs? Mine is Ottawa. The Blues. 4. Are you watching/reading any TV/book series currently? Reading Atomic Habits right now. Just finished watching the newest season of Reacher. 5. Would you rather drink bourbon, scotch, tequila, or beer? (If you are of age) I used to be a beer drinker, I haven't drank in a while now, doubt I ever will again. 6. Do you want envision any player you create to make Hall of Fame? I expect every player to be HOF, weather that happens or not remains to be seen.
  7. So I'm the new Miami Marauders GM?
  8. Congrats @Ricer13 you deserve it and now we are one step closer to getting the team back together
  9. Name: Sebastian “Bash” McMurray Height: 6'8" Weight: 225lbs. Home Town: Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada THE top prospect for the Season 100 VHL draft, McMurray has the mentality and skillset to pound your teeth down your throat.A product of the Miami Marauders he basically has no skill to his game whatsoever. His skating is abysmal. Less tangibly, his vision is at a level on par with some three toed sloths. However, there are no questions about his physicality and defense which is great for the old time hockey fans. So far this season McMurray has only played 4 games and already has 8 points giving that a big dumb pylon can just stand in front the f the net and have the skill players bounce pucks off his watermelon head and into the net. The Pros of Bash Bash McMurray’s presence on the ice had undeniable advantages: 1. Fear Factor: Opposing teams were more cautious, knowing Bash was always one line change away from sending a message with his fists. 2. Locker Room Loyalty: Teammates adored him. He stood up for rookies, protected stars, and brought levity to tense situations with his absurd sense of humor (he once skated onto the ice in a fake mullet wig for warmups). 3. Media Magnet: Whether it was for his controversial comments, bizarre Instagram videos (like the time he wrestled a wild turkey), or post-game interviews that made zero sense, Bash kept the spotlight on the team — often distracting from poor performances. 4.Heart: Despite his antics, Bash had an unshakable love for the game. He gave 100%, even when his body couldn’t. He played through broken fingers, separated shoulders, and once, the flu so severe he had to be carried off the ice afterward. The Cons and Crashes But the Bash train came with its share of wreckage: 1. Discipline Issues: Bash led the league in penalty minutes for four consecutive seasons. Coaches were constantly forced to juggle lines when he found himself in the box — again. 2. Off-Ice Chaos: DUIs, fights, late-night tweets, and a failed MMA crossover stunt where he broke his wrist in a pre-fight brawl. His off-ice behavior often overshadowed his contributions to the team. 3. Health Decline: Years of hard hits and harder living caught up with him. Concussions, chronic pain, and long-term damage forced him to miss significant time in his later seasons. 4. Tensions with Management: Bash clashed with several coaches and GMs over his role, always believing he could contribute more than just fists. One coach described him as “the most lovable, infuriating guy I’ve ever coached.”
  10. Welcome to the league, if you need anything ……………. Reach out to someone more knowledgeable than me.
  11. I could help out with some of that
  12. Been a while bud, good to see you’re still here. I’ll get in touch with you if I run into anything
  13. I’m too old to argue on line anymore. I go to bed at 8pm most nights, I’m like 5 years away from depends.
  14. Name: Sebastian “Bash” McMurray Height: 6'8" Weight: 225lbs. Home Town: Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada Bash McMurray: The Enforcer With a Past Born on a frigid January night in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, in 1988, Sebastian “Bash” McMurray entered the world fists-first and seemingly destined for the penalty box. Raised in a rough-and-tumble neighborhood where a hockey stick was as common as a snow shovel, Bash was the youngest of five brothers, all of whom played hockey with the kind of reckless abandon that would give most coaches heart palpitations. But Bash was different. Even as a kid, he didn’t just play hockey — he fought it. From a young age, Bash displayed a natural talent for two things: skating and scrapping. While other kids practiced slapshots, Bash perfected the art of dropping gloves. His youth league coaches would later recall how he “couldn’t go two shifts without punching someone,” but also how he’d somehow charm them afterward with his signature crooked grin. He was a contradiction on ice: equal parts menace and charisma. By age 15, he was banned from nearly every minor league in the province for racking up more penalty minutes than points. But word of his brutal style — and surprising on-ice awareness — began to spread beyond local rinks. Scouts from junior leagues started to take notice, not necessarily for his stats, but for the fear he instilled in opponents. Bash didn’t just intimidate — he controlled the ice with his presence alone. The Rise and Rumbles At 17, Bash was picked up by the Kamloops Blaze of the WHL. It was here that he earned the nickname “The McMangler” after delivering a now-infamous hit that sent three players — three — tumbling like bowling pins. Despite regular suspensions, his enforcer role gave the Blaze’s skilled players the room they needed to thrive. Bash was never the top scorer, but he was always the first name on the lineup sheet when the team traveled into hostile territory. But behind the scenes, Bash’s life was spinning out of control. Struggling with anger issues and a brewing addiction to painkillers after a string of injuries, he found himself spiraling into bar fights, run-ins with the law, and even a short stint in juvenile detention. Many believed his career would flame out before it ever truly began. A Second Shot in the Big Leagues Against all odds, Bash was selected 186th overall in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft by the Boston Bruins — a team known for giving troubled players a shot. Their gamble paid off, at least in terms of entertainment value. Bash made his debut with the Bruins during a particularly brutal stretch of games that saw the team plagued by injuries and morale issues. Bash was sent in to “light a fire,” and light it he did — picking fights with half the opposing bench, riling up the crowd, and getting ejected in under eight minutes. The fans loved him. He soon became a cult hero in Boston. Wearing number 72 and sporting a beard that looked like it had its own zip code, Bash embodied old-school hockey: gritty, unapologetic, and chaotic. His slapshot was mediocre, his skating was passable, but his hits were the stuff of legend. In one game, he shattered the glass with a hit so hard it delayed the game for 40 minutes and sparked a bench-clearing brawl. It wasn’t pretty — but it was Bash. The Pros of Bash Bash McMurray’s presence on the ice had undeniable advantages: 1. Fear Factor: Opposing teams were more cautious, knowing Bash was always one line change away from sending a message with his fists. 2. Locker Room Loyalty: Teammates adored him.

Tensions with Management: Bash clashed with several coaches and GMs over his role, always believing he could contribute more than just fists. One coach described him as “the most lovable, infuriating guy I’ve ever coached.” The Fall and the Fadeaway By age 33, Bash’s body was failing him. Slower, angrier, and battling substance issues again, he retired mid-season after a violent on-ice incident that saw him suspended indefinitely. Fans were divided — some called it the end of an era, others said it was long overdue. Bash retreated to northern Alberta, where he opened a small gym called “The Penalty Box,” offering training for at-risk youth and aspiring enforcers. He also launched a podcast called “Chirp and Smash”, blending locker room tales, fight stories, and surprisingly heartfelt advice on mental health in pro sports. Despite the chaos, Bash McMurray remains a polarizing figure in hockey folklore. Some say he set the game back 20 years. Others say he was the last real warrior. Love him or hate him, no one forgot him, and now nobody has to because he is bringing his talents to the VHL.
  15. Well Bushito has made his way back to the VHL after a 5 year hiatus, bringing with him a fresh center who goes by the name Bash McMurray. Sounds to this writer like the name of a goon, which would be a step in a different direction for someone known more for bringing quality goaltending to the league in the past. It looks like McMurray should be a fully active stud player but the league will most likely be reserved when it comes to investing any kind of meaningful draft capital into this player. Bushito has a history of bringing as many failures as he has superstar players so it remains to be seen what this iteration will bring, it will be one to pay attention to for savvy general managers come draft time.
  16. 1. What do you think of my return, do you remember me? I remember you, I think it’s pretty awesome that a bunch of old members are coming back and glad to see it. Maybe our new players can play together. 2. Do you think physical defensive defensemen will still work in the league? I think it’s a fun build and can work. It’ll be interesting to see the stats you can put up because I was thinking of making a similar player and maybe I’ll do something like this for my next one. 3. What team do you think will try to sign the russian defender? easy answer is Moscow but for some reason I feel the big bear logo in Seattle fits with a big Russian.
