  1. Hey VHLMers (and anyone else who reads this!) Last season I started an article which each week analyzed TPE factors for each team. These factors include each teams total TPE, the weekly increases, the average TPE per player on the team, the teams relative position in the league, and which player was the current highers TPE earner. Seeing as last year was a bit of an anomaly concerning the amount of players in the league and such I thought I would do it again this year to see the differences year to year. (also, now that I understand how things work in the league, I will have a better idea of what I'm looking for and as this continues it will certainly change and evolve) Without further ado, lets check out our pre season rankings! Team Total TPE (Increased TPE) Average TPE per player League Position Top TPE Earner 1. Oslo Storm 1073 (0) 59.61 (18 players) D - Nicodemus Raven, TPE: 107 (SEA). 2. Ottawa Lynx 998 (0) 71.29 (14 players) C - Corey Klopfenstein, TPE: 157 (CGY) 3. Saskatoon Wild 852 (0) 71 (12 players) LW - Phil Bennington, TPE: 161 4. Yukon Rush 786 (0) 49.13 (16 players) D - Augustus Gloop, TPE: 141 (20 Banked) (SEA) 5. Las Vegas Aces 751 (0) 50.06 (15 players) D - Colton Rayne, TPE: 175 (14 Banked) League Total TPE 4460 (+0) 59.46 (75 players) So! some big differences from last year, and some similarities. The Storm, after a disappointing last place finish last year, are poised to take the league by.... wait for it..... it's too easy..... should I?..... yea I'm going to.... STORM. They begin this year as the only team in quadruple digits for total team TPE. The addition of first round pick Jasper Canmore @Bushito plus the retention of some good depth from last year should vault the Storm into an early season lead. They also happen to have the deepest roster with 18 players, and a good Average TPE of 59.61, despite having the lowest top TPE Earned. The Lynx, just like.. fuck man, there's no holding them down. GM @Beaviss Pairs some decent late round draft picks with a great foundation, and lands him and his team in the 2nd spot, boasting the highest average TPE per player. After a disappointing loss to the Las Vegas Aces last season, look for the Lynx to be early favorites for this years founders cup. The Wild for the second year in a row have weird stats. I just cant put my finger on this team. They are right smack dab in the middle of the road TPE wise, yet they more of less match the Ottawa Lynx for average TPE. That may be due to having the smallest roster in the VLHM, but it is also due to the potential steal of the draft falling into their laps. Surprisingly, LW Phill Bennington @Phil Dropped to third overall and the Wild walked out of the draft with a huge smile on their face. This team could be the dark horse if Phil gets hot in the playoffs this year. The Rush come in 4th for total TPE, but fall into last for average TPE. The Rush have a lot of great options on defense. The addition of 1st round pick Dragon McDragon @JardyB10 only improves and already deep defensive core. This team will rely on these defensmen to withstand the more offensively focused teams. That leads us to your defending Founder Cup Champions, the one, the only, the razzling, dazzling, envy of everyone in the VHLM and I dare you to tell me otherwise Las Vegas Aces . After dominating their way through the VHLM playoffs last year with only 2 losses, the Aces will look to begin building towards their next great team. The only returning member of the Championship team is Defenseman Colton Rayne @Spade18. Most of the rest of the players from last year were either taken in the draft and playing in the VHL (many in the first round), or were placed back into the draft and dispersed among the league First round pick Lavar Ball @Mr.Baller looks to be a sure fire prospect, and newly acquired center ice man Vaclav Hrdina @diamond_ace has the opportunity to be a workhorse offensively for this team. Other draft picks of this year Mikka Toivonen @James and Joseph Lenin @Bolsheviks had impressive pre draft showings, so we will see if they can keep up the effort and help this team up the ranks. Even with a relatively thin VHLM draft, we're looking forward to another exciting VHLM season! Best, Spade

  8. This is great dude. It spoke to me on a very personal level. A. I too stopped playing hockey before high school, a mix of my not so great skating ability and a couple concussions lead me to not going out for the high school team. It wasn't until I got to college that I started playing again. Unfortunately in my second year I got tripped up from behind and slid feet first into the boards. My right skate stuck in the boards and I crumpled down on my right leg. Tore everything, my hip popped out for a second, broke a few toes. I haven't played organized hockey since and I miss the game profusely. Luckily a friend of mine has expressed interest in learning to play and We're shooting for joining a starter mens league next winter. B. Tai'Shar Wetlander. But seriously dude, check out if your college has a club team. usually there are a few low level guys/beginners that are on the team so you wont feel out of place. Also look into local floor hockey leagues or things like that. Never give up on the game, cause you'll just keep wanting it more and more.
