Kimmo i believe was the only active goalie.. but i was/am active

KJA’s First Step Sitting around the dinner table, it seemed like a normal evening for the Azhishchenkov family. Mikhail Azhishchenkov was home with the family, resting up from an injury he suffered in one of his recent games, and Maria Azhishchenkov was given some time off to be with family. The only Azhishchenkov who was slightly abnormal was youngest Azhishchenkov: Konstantin. The eager teenager was constantly checking his phone to see if there was any news from the VHLM pertaining to him. "I was very anxious," said Konstantin. "I was constantly checking VHL twitter, and the VHLM website to see if there was any news about me." At 6:28, that January evening, Konstantin’s prayers were answered, when the Azhishchenkov's phone rang. Mrs. Azhishchenkov answered it. It was Jim Gow, General Manager of the Ottawa Lynx. "I was expecting a call from my mother," said Mrs. Azhishchenkov. "But the man on the other side introduced himself as Mr. Jim Gow of the Ottawa Lynx. I was quite surprised!" Mr. Gow had an offer on the table. Since Ottawa was rebuilding, Mr. Gow knew that his team was not an ideal location for rising talent, however he was willing to offer Konstantin first line minutes and a security of a home. "After winning the cup last season, and moving the majority of my team for draft picks, I knew that there was nothing in this season for me," stated Mr. Gow. "But I liked Konstantin, so I wanted to extend him an offer." Realizing that he was being given an opportunity to take his first steps to becoming a VHLer, Konstantin quickly accepted his offer, and asked for Mr. Gow to go ahead and place the waiver claim. "I was so excited," stated an exuberant Konstantin. "My wait to get started is now over, and I can now begin to focus on helping Ottawa do well this season and help myself grow." At 6:28 the next day, Konstantin was made an official Ottawa Lynx. "I am officially a VHLM-er," said Konstantin. "Now that that is off my shoulders, I am really looking forward to practice with my new team, and eventually my first game!" Konstantin met with Mr. Gow at the Ottawa Lynx practice facility a day later, and was officially inducted as a member of the Ottawa Lynx, donning a Lynx jersey with his name and number (93) on it. Konstantin was not the only player to get claimed recently. Young leftwing prospect Marcus Bjorkstand had two claim offers, but Yukon won as they had a higher waiver priority. Also, goalie Kimmo Salo generated a large buzz and had multiple claim offers, however Oslo reigned supreme and captured the goaltending prospect. When asked about the two other prospects that were claimed around the same time as him, Konstantin expressed his excitement and happiness. "I am so glad that more players with the same dreams as I were able to take their first step today," said Konstantin. "I look forward to playing against them this season, and I hope that they have great careers, wherever that takes them!" With finding a VHLM team checked off of Konstantin Azhishchenkov's list, it will be interesting to see the next step the young, aspiring hockey player takes.

I came here via hfboards.. Joined the two basically at the same time

dissolving teams is never fun.. and is dangerous Experience from being commissioner of other hockey leagues like in Metroho.com and stuff

G81 - Lynx G82 - Royals G83 - Storm G84 - Rush

4-1 Reign

3-2 Watchman

HC Dynamo Meute Bears Legion

i liked it.. a lot more talking back to the ref than I'm used to.. I was always told/learned to never talk to the refs are argue.. just keep ur head down and listen.. if they wanted to joke let them joke and u play along.. always live in fear of an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.. lol

Id be interested his answer to that.. Scientific or Comedic? WHAAAAAA??? lol

Madden does not have a good GM mode anymore.. They destroyed it in hopes of ppl converting to online.. Well screw you Madden! haha 1) Chicago for Toews or Kane +picks 2) Capitals for Backstrom + picks

Honestly because the NHLXX: Be A GM Mode is truly a game, i take a roster (usually the Capitals), sell off all the old players (29+) and the players who have contracts that are just way too much. I usually have over $21 million in cap space. From the trades of the older players, because most of the time they are overvalued, the computer gives me a ton of picks and decent prospects or players who are mid 70s+… Then as i play, all my players grow and come draft time, i gain like 13 prospects. Then FA i resign a bunch of players and grab a bunch of players that i like.. still have over $15 million in cap space. I basically have a team of no-name prospects mixed in with a few popular players, and the thing is, i still make the playoffs each year. I went all the way up to the year 2022, and i won the cup every year but 2016, and I sold Ovechkin after the first season. So i do not see much strategy in the NHL games, just have fun… MY favorite part is how many no-name prospects I can have playing in the NHL and still win.. lol

Well wats done is done.. Im glad to be a Lynx, and im ready to start my career! Sidenote: the mobile version of this website isnt half bad

Konstantin Azhishchenkov - QMJHL - Saint John Sea Dogs

Im already loving this.. haha.. best player name I've come up with

So sorry.. I fixed it.. each are 3 sentences except for one which is 4 sentences.. sorry about that

Growing up in a hockey household, Konstantin Jaroslav Azhishchenkov's (KJA) brother, Mikhail, who played in the KHL for CSKA Moscow, and his sister, Maria, who played for the Woman's Russian National Team, was stuck in the shadows of his siblings from the very start. Despite being born in Moscow, Russia, KJA only lived in Moscow until he was 7 years old. Most of his childhood was actually spent in Port Huron, Michigan. Immigrating from Russia at the late age of 7, KJA had trouble learning English, and was therefore the subject of a lot of bullying throughout Elementary and Middle school. As a result, he had little to no friends, and therefore took comfort in playing ice hockey on the frozen pond behind his house. KJA learned to skate at the age of 5, so KJA could skate like he could walk, but unfortunately, his stick handling needed a lot of work. On his 8th birthday, KJA's parents bought him hockey gear, and signed him up with the local ice hockey team to participate in the winter season. It was immediately prevalent that KJA was a loner in the locker room where, despite his best efforts, he was alienated because of his inability to speak English. Stepping onto the ice for his first game of his life, KJA knew that ice hockey was going to become his life, like it became his brother's and sister's lives. In his first game, he had 5 assists in a 5-0 victory. This opened everyone's eyes in the locker room. KJA finished the 25 game season off with 30 assists and 39 points. By season's end, KJA was no more the loner he started off the season as, but as a brother in that hockey family. Before the start of the next season, he was asked to play for the U11 travel team despite being only 9 years old. He hesitated at first because he was unsure about leaving the first group of friends he had made in the two years that he had been in the country. However, the U11 travel coach, Regan Harris, was able to convince young KJA that this was the right step for him. Two days before the start of the U11 travel season, KJA accepted Coach Harris's offer, and took the steps necessary to begin his season. Unfortunately his first game could have gone much better. At 9 years old, KJA was merely 5'. KJA was pounded by the older kids, and finished the game with nothing but a damaged body and ego. His team lost the game 3-0, and KJA began to question if he made the correct decision. KJA decided that he had made the right decision, and that the reason why he was not doing well was because he was not working hard enough. After a strong week of practice, KJA finished off his second game with 1G and 2 Assists. KJA finished the 42 game season with 38 assists and 50 points. By age 15, KJA had shown hints that the Azhishchenkov family may have produced another hockey great. Also questions about his size were put aside. Luckily for KJA, puberty did well for him as he had a major growth spurt hitting 6' 3" and weighed around 195 lbs. Unfortunately, English continued to elude KJA, and it was difficult for him to make friends. This language barrier would continue to plague KJA. Instead of attending High School, KJA made the jump the QMJHL and joined the Saint John Sea Dogs. Donning his Sea Dog sweater, KJA was ready to make his mark in the CHL. Through working hard in practice, KJA worked his way up to centering the first line. That was when KJA was truly able to make his mark in the QMJHL. In KJA's freshman season in the QMJHL, KJA broke two team records. Having 65 assists and 108 points, KJA broke Jonathan Huberdeau's team records, but unfortunately missed out on the Rookie of the Year trophy. He did receive, however, 1st Team Rookie All-Star honors. Heading into his sophomore season, a lot was expected of KJA. could he break a QMJHL record? Could the Sea Dogs come back and win a cup? Unfortunately, KJA did not break a QMJHL record and the Sea Dogs did not win a cup, but KJA closed out his sophomore campaign with a relatively similar stats as his first season. KJA broke two team records again with 155 career assists and 256 career points, breaking Huberdeau's team records. At 18 years old, KJA decide that it was time to look at the pro leagues. He received offers from several teams coming from the KHL and VHL. His brother's team, CSKA Moscow, offered him a lucrative contract, but KJA did not want to play in the shadows of his superstar brother, plus, he did not even want to play in the KHL, so he kindly rejected all of his KHL offers. KJA believes that the right path for him will be the VHL, and he is willing to do what it takes to make it. Pros Hardworking - Having so many people doubting him and alienating him because of his language differences, KJA knew that he had to prove himself on the ice. KJA is always the first one on the ice and the last one off. He fights every shift and is dedicated to becoming number one. Very Fast - KJA started skating when he was 5, and he continued to practice skating and improving his speed and agility. This practice worked for him as he has been nicknamed, "The 2nd Russian Rocket." His speed is very helpful in chasing down the puck, going around defensemen, and back-checking. High Endurance - All that skating and hard work have helped KJA have a high level of endurance. His coaches have claimed that his energy is at 110% through out the entire game. His high endurance makes him an excellent choice for penalty kills where a lot of energy is expensed. Cons Lone Wolf - Because of his bad experience as a child and throughout his hockey career, KJA has become what is known as a Lone Wolf. On the ice, he is completely selfless: passing the puck around and generating chances all over the ice. Off the ice, however, he is shy and keeps to himself. Unlike his hardworking mentality, in social gatherings, he is the last to arrive and the first to leave. Stick Handling - Despite possessing an amazing speed, KJA's stick handling skills dropped as a result. He is so fast that has trouble keeping the puck on his stick. Though he has practiced to improve this issue, sometimes when making a push down the ice, he will lose the puck destroying the offensive momentum. Passes the puck too often - Because of his stick handling issue, KJA would pass to his teammates a lot. Though this is what you would like in a playmaker, KJA took too much of a good thing and made it bad. Many times he passes it too much and soon becomes an easy player for defenses to adjust too.

Awesome! Thank you, can not wait to get started!
