Clarence appears to have spent a little too long on his tanning bed.

This is Clarence Fong beating the shit out of Astrid Moon. @Da Trifecta
 

On that point, are you Anderson?

On that point, are you Anderson?

Created Clarence Fong on February 28; today is March 27.
 

Fong is ready and available if von Axelberry suddenly decides to make the leap to the VHL next year 

Las Vegas Craze was also an option but trying to make a logo for either of those proves difficult. 

In an eleventh hour decision which was originally planned for the start of Season 55, the Bern Royals are no more. Bern will be relocating to Las Vegas ahead of Season 54. 
 
After much deliberation and discussion between VHLM Commissioners and the GM of the Bern Royals @BobertZ, it was decided that the team name must be relevant to the city of Vegas. Therefore without further ado we present to you the Las Vegas Aces. Hopefully the name is self explanatory, but if not it references gambling specifically cards. 

 
 
Special thanks to @Bushito for the wonderful logos. 
 
 
The Las Vegas Aces will call T-Mobile Arena their home, they will be splitting time with the Golden Knights of the NHL. 
 
Las Vegas Aces GM Robbie Zimmers press release "Bern was nice for the one season that i was there but i feel the league needs a exciting market to be in. the VHLM has suffered with boring teams for far too long. Moving to Vegas was the logical move. I plan to bring Vegas a championship this upcoming season and as often as I can from there. VEGAS BABY! VEGAS!".
 
Team Acronym: LV or LVA

How does it feel knowing that Holik is clearly inferior to Moon?

That was a very creative way to do one of these in a sea full of Mock Drafts. Oh and I just realized that the quality players goes at least 11 picks deep, which means my TOR 2nd this season also has great value. I should try this drafting thing more often....  

Hello everyone who is still with us! This journey is nearing an end as by the time the VHLSC gets set to write another rankings article, this draft year will have past and the players will go from draft hopefuls to prospects. Don't fret though, we got this one last issue before we hit the big day. Obviously this past couple weeks we have been seeing a ton of VHL Entry Draft Mock Drafts done by various people throughout our community. If you haven't got one done it isn't too late now and you can go create one. However, because of this influx of mock drafts we feel it might be overkill for us at VHLSC to do one this time around. So what did we do instead you ask, well we built the perfect skater and goaltender using the qualities that the current crop of VHL draft hopefuls contain. If you look below we got two different shadows consisting of parts from various different draft eligible players. So enough talking and more graphics!
 

 
HOCKEY SENSE: Verner Reinholdt @Devise
We chose Verner here because his knowledge of the game seems to be the highest of any draft hopeful. Verner possesses a strong sense of intelligence on the ice and also is graced with exceptional know-how in regards to positioning. His passing is second to none and ability to play on special teams and even strength make him valuable.
 
FRAME: Fook Yu @tfong
Fook Yu is a solid piece of meat put on skates to wreck havoc. Yu has a large frame with some muscles behind him but also is the king of hitting and going after star players. We don't think Yu will have many friends on the opposing teams.
 
HANDS: Shawn Gretzky @TheLastOlympian07
Gretzky isn't like his relative because he is going into the VHL and not the NHL. Shawn does have some pretty hands though and his ability to dish the puck and also be creative when handling the puck set him apart from his counterparts.
 
SCORING: Takashi Fujimoto @HFD
This one might boost his stock a bit more than other player. Fujimoto is being looked at as a player in the second half of the first round. We are here to tell you that he is the best scorer in this draft class and if you want offence, this is the guy you want to select.
 
SKATING: Rudolph Schmeckeldorf @Corco
Rudolph the red-nosed speed skater is what he is being hailed as. Schmeckeldorf is the fastest skater in this draft year and if you want a speedy winger with a ton of potential this is your guy. Not to mention Rudolph has been very consistent in the draft rankings and in any other year would be a Top 3 Selection.
 

 
REACTION TIME: Torstein Ironside @DollarAndADream
Torstein Ironside is the fastest goaltender in this draft when it comes to moving laterally in his crease. His ability to stretch across makes him a goaltender who is never truly out of a play regardless of the move put on him.
 
POSITIONING: Vernon Von Axelberry @BobertZ
Vernon Von Axelberry might be the third best option at the goaltender position but his positioning is tops in this draft year. His ability to square to the shooter and take away portions of the net that a shooter would normally find right away is superb.
 
GLOVE REFLEXES: Markus King @Kendrick
Torstein may have the sharpest head when it comes to stretching across, but Markus King has a glove hand that is just filthy. King will usually do the flashy glove save just to build some momentum for his club when they are hemmed into their own zone.
 
REBOUND CONTROL: Markus King
Markus King shows up again but this time it's for his recognition of where to steer the puck upon saving it. This is key so that rebounds aren't tucked home and the blue liners are left shaking their heads.
 
PUCK HANDLING: Torstein Ironside
Ironside shows up again and this time it's for his ability to move the puck. Often a forgotten goaltender skill is to be able to move the puck and provide a good outlet pass for your forwards. Ironside showed up on the scoresheet a few times this past seasons.

Did we get rid of the popcorn emoticon or something? Can't find it.

The draft, FA and everything else hasn't even happened.
 
You sucked in the playoffs #Facts
I had 17 points in round 2 against the Titans, you were the goalie #Facts
Mikaelson/Holik comparison proved you don't look things up #Facts

I think it's cute that DT thinks his player matter, considering not even he believes they do. (Proof from past players) #Facts @Beketov

"I'm not really sure why people are still saying Riga and I won't be a thing because they think I hate Riga. I stated I'd go to Riga if they are committed to winning, much like every other team", said Markus King after a pre-draft workout for the VHL General Managers.
 
King mentioned that Davos rose on his draft interests board because of their change in management and a new commitment to winning. Calgary also rose a bit just because of management changes, although the state of their prospects cupboard is a little bleak. Toronto remains a very possible destination as King has stated he wouldn't mind staying in Canada to build another dynasty in Toronto. King's agent Joey Kendrick also was the agent for former Toronto Legion winger Malcolm Kelly back in the 14th VHL Season. No one team was really crossed off his list for interested places however, Stockholm did mention they weren't taking a long look at the goaltender in the pre-draft workouts. King is committed to becoming a Hall-of-Fame goaltender and that sparked the interest of the Helsinki Titans who currently don't own a goaltender with that ceiling.
 

The CoDCast shall make it's triumphant return this week so get your questions in so that I have shit to talk about!

P.S Don't worry @punkhippie, I haven't forgotten about your question and I will answer it. Feel free to ask more if you want though.

I can't attach the spreadsheet, too big, so here's a teaser.

I can't attach the spreadsheet, too big, so here's a teaser.

So I just spent another hour or two and have finished a non-yet-final-but-almost-finished edition of translating stats to different eras.
 
For example, Joel Jarvi, having scored 62 goals and 100 assists this season, would have had 94 goals and 159 assists for 253 points in S20.
 
Edit: The top scorers in S20 were actually Tarik Saeijs (71G, 86A, 157P) and Max Kroenenburg (70G, 87A, 157P). This means Jarvi was a beast this season compared to Saejis and Kroenenburg. Too bad the data from S1 to S17 is gone; I wanted to see how Jarvi matched up with Campbell.  
 
This is because scoring was at an all-time high that season with 2313 total goals over 288 league games (8.03 goals per game). This is compared to S53 teams only scoring 1913 total goals, despite expansion leading to 360 league games (5.31 goals per game).
 
 
 
@Kendrick @Corco @DollarAndADream @jRuutu @Banackock @ThePenultimateOlympian06
 
Also @gregreg why the fuck is Jarvi's update thread in the Reign forum?! Took me forever to find it.
 
Maybe eventually I'll go find out how many goals @Da Trifecta would have given up in S20 if he played as amazing as he did these playoffs.
