scotty WITH NO REGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE

1 point all season. Sudden hat trick lol

Where's my name change?

I will reveal it once Higgins changes it in the file! And I was thinking of doing maybe a 20 in 20 retrospective (as if I can milk any more TPE out of those, lol) podcast, and going over some of the better episodes. Has anything changed? Elaborate a little more on some stuff, etc. What do you guys think?

One more request here, yeah. This is probably happening tomorrow evening, so get questions in now or forever hold your peace (until next time)!

Ah yes, the grand reveal!

After beginning his professional career with the Yukon Rush, all the way to the Western side of the world, Bitch Higgins was drafted to the Moscow Red Wolves, who are situated on the opposite end. Now focusing East, Higgins, originally from Copenhagen, Denmark, is ready to deliver results this season. "Last season was an adjustment period for me. I needed to get the hang of things, and I think I did well towards the end of my time with Yukon, especially in the playoffs," said the new Red Wolf in a training camp interview. Higgins was also a late claim in the Super Cup draft process, with Team Cowboy picking him up after the draft, and the league just sort of going along with it. Higgins was the team's 4th line centre, and often saw as little as 1 minute of ice time every game. "I'm not at all upset by that. Cowboy did me a favour by picking me up and letting me at least participate. For that, I'm thankful," said Higgins. He won't have to be a 4th line centre anymore, as Higgins is already penciled in on Moscow's top line between Jace Hines and Shawn Muller. Higgins is confident that he'll be able to contribute to the Red Wolves, as they already look to be competing with Bern for the top spot in the VHLM's European Conference. Of course, there is still one question surrounding Higgins going into Season 45: just what is his name? Higgins has been saying that once the season begins, he will reveal his real name to the world. We will soon see just what it is.

Come on, guy. I hope you're not claiming TPE for this. "Each article is expected to be league related, and have a degree of relevance to the VHL."

Something like that.

Probably gonna do one for the next PT week. Ask me anything you want! Guaranteed an answer.

It actually made me chuckle

Hahahaha YESSSSSS

By that, I'm assuming you mean more ice time for Bitch Higgins. I'm thinking 3rd line centre.

Fun fact: Tom Slaughter and Penis Anthony Hudson are both S37s I'll let you guys decide who had the better career. (Happy trails sterling)

JUST LIKE OLD TIMES EH?

I got like 4 questions last time (albeit 4 good ones) so maybe I need to drop down to a Podcast every 2 weeks.

MY POINT STANDS

4 minutes, no draft. You think the big league has to put up with this shit?

I can do a great Dregsy

I'm here if needed

It's Not About How You Start... As the VHL gets set to undertake its 45th Entry Draft in league history, a plethora of young players are hoping to see their name picked in order to continue painting the picture of their hockey career. Of course, every player in this draft class dreams about going first overall, and scouts, media figures, and fans alike are still debating about who the Helsinki Titans will select with that fateful first pick. However, the draft only represents a beginning to a player's career, and while being drafted early looks and feels good, it is meaningless unless the player makes something of it. Also, being passed over a few times is far from a death sentence, as we have seen many times throughout VHL history. There's no doubt, though: everyone wants to be #1. Hockey players are a competitive breed, and being selected before all of your peers is a very shiny pin to hang on your lapel. Furthermore, 16 Hall of Fame players have been drafted first overall, which is, unsurprisingly, more than any other draft position. From Christian Stolzschweiger in Season 2 all the way up to Ethan Osbourne in Season 30 - and I'm sure other, more recent first overall picks will soon be added to the list - we know that being #1 certain sets you on the right path. That said, the saying is "the bigger they are, the harder they fall." That #1 spot brings a lot of praise and accolades, but with it come expectations and pressure. While most #1 overall picks have delivered, those that falter cannot avoid the dreaded "bust" tag. While the discussion on what makes a player a "bust" is ongoing and, ultimately, subjective, for some who expect a #1 overall pick to be a franchise saviour or a generational talent, even an above-average career is not good enough. And of course, being drafted #1 - or even in the first round - is not the only method to VHL success. In the Hall of Fame, a total of 11 players were drafted outside of the first round, and 3 weren't even drafted in the 2nd round. While Alex McNeil is a product of the initial dispersal draft, you also have Jardy Bunclewirth at 18th overall in Season 16, as well as Alex Gegeny at 22nd overall in Season 5. What did all of those players have in common? Work ethic. To them, it didn't matter where they were drafted, because they put in the hours throughout their careers to ensure that they made the most of their time in the VHL. Of course, being a Hall of Famer isn't necessary for having had a successful VHL career, but for all those players with stars in their eyes for the Season 45 Entry Draft, the Season 46 Entry Draft, and beyond, they should keep this in mind. If you put in the work, stick around, and get a little bit lucky out on the ice, then it's not about how you start - it's about how you finish.

I feel like there was a real missed opportunity to call this a Calgary Stampede. If I were a grader, I'd dock at least 1/6
