O hi

Steve’s rookie reviews

 

 

Dough matchett started playing hockey when he was 15 years old. He was very late to the game but, he’s been proving he can still compete even at the age of 37. He didn’t start taking hockey seriously until just a year or two ago. His original goal was to race with the big guys. A horrible wreck is what sent him to hockey a much less dangerous sport. He was top of his division but one brutal mistake took him completely out of racing. 

 

Matchett was an exceptional hockey player putting up points and playing stellar defence. HIs size put fear into his opposition. He played for his local junior B team the Wolfpack having a total of 24 games played and 5 goals and 30 assists. He only played 24 games due to a pandemic shortened season and that’s when he decided he would declare for the VHL. 
 

with Matchetts size his speed and agility were huge questions. Even when he was playing in junior B it was an issue. He’s been training and conditioning himself to get up to the speed of the big leagues and he hopes to make an impact at this level. His discipline also was question as he led his team in PIMS averaging over 4 minutes per game, he was very hotheaded but now states he has his temper under control and it should not be an issue. So far this season he is right his temper has not been an issue at all.

 

when he decided to join the VHLM he knew which team he wanted to join. The team that had a hot start to the season, Las Vegas. He held out until he got the offer he wanted and he got it.

 

through 28 games he only has 10 points but he has been a rock on the blue line. Laying the body and has a +5 on the season. Currently projected to go in the early 30’s he hopes to impress teams enough to take him at a higher position. 

This player is a defensive presence that can help out offensively from time to time. His offence will become much better as time goes on and so will his defensive game. This season he was hoping to show how well he can play in his own end and it is very clear he has done that. With this being is first season we wonder what else he will do in his career.

Press Conference - Week Ending December 26th 

(Answer all 6 questions for 2 TPE)

 

1. If you got a Christmas present of getting an automatic upgrade of one of your VHL attributes to 99, which one would you want and why?

2. We're almost in the final quarter of the regular season now, what are your thoughts on how the Aces have done as a whole this season?

3. What are your thoughts on your players performance this season?

4. Name a player on the Aces who maybe doesn't get much attention on the forums but who you think does a lot of good work for the team, either in TPE earning or performance in the sim.

5. If you were to make a player in the VHL with a Christmas-themed name, what would you call them?

6. Since this press conference is (depending on when you do it), either the last one before Christmas or the first one after it:

i) (If you're answering these before Christmas) - What are you hoping to get for Christmas?

ii) (If you're answering these after Christmas) - What did you get for Christmas?

1 I’m gonna have to go with either speed or scoring. I wanna be a fast player in this league and I’d also really like to up my points

2 well joining the team late like I did, I had some high expectations and this team has really surpassed them.

3 well I’m not putting the puck in the net as much as I’d like to but I can put that off as me being a rookie. I’m playing solid D so I’m happy

4 me. But seriously both of our goalies are unreal we wouldn’t be in this situation without them.

5 I’m not really sure.. maybe Yukon Cornelius

6 honestly I need some new headlights for my car 

Woooo

No

Wooo donations I’d do more than 5 if I could afford it but happy to help either way

+10 doug mattchet

1. Well I’d like to come in and have a good start with the team and the team stayin at the top would help alot

2. to be honest I’m not entirely sure I think they have the pieces to be good just like us

3. Just joined the team can’t comment on that.

4. Haven’t looked into that just trying to take this season game by game not lookin at any jumps to new leagues yet.

5. Speed or defence. I am a big guy so I’d like to get my skating to the top just to keep up with other guys. And I really want to up my game in our zone.

6. I think as long as the team plays like we should and I have a decent debut it’ll all go well.

Welcome back to the VHL @jacobaa19

 

My name is MubbleFubbles and I am the AGM of the Las Vegas Aces. We've had a terrific start to the season that currently sees us in first place in the Western Conference and we'd love to see your player join the team to help improve our results even further! As it stands, we can offer you a spot on the second pairing but with continued activity, we'd have no problem moving you up onto the first pairing. I've also done a little digging and noticed you were a former GM of Las Vegas yourself, so we have the unique opportunity of granting you a return opportunity to the team where your received your management debut! While a lot of the VHL and the VHLM will be familiar to you, you obviously might have some questions about the recent changes in the league and if you have any of those, myself and the GM @ajwllmsn are always available to answer them, either on discord or through the PM system on this site! 

 

If you'd like to sign with us and join the Vegas fever, please quote this offer and type "#MarchettIsAllIn!" and should you decide to join us, you can use the below graphic if you're interested!
