Ooooohhhhh!

Ahhhhhhh!

Linholm!!!!

While the rest of his fellow New York Americans draftees are playing in New York this upcoming season, Jakob Linholm will be spending another season down in the VHLM. He was taken by the Minot Gladiators in the VHLM dispersal draft and will be playing on their first line for the season. While he is disappointed he won`t be apart of the Americans season this year, he is looking forward to just getting back to playing hockey.

“Well I`m obviously very disappointed that I won`t be playing in New York this year. I am wishing all the guys luck this season and hope that they have success this year. I am just looking forward to playing with the gladiators this season and helping them win the founders cup this year. I am just looking to do as much as I can to help increase my skills and am looking to really make my mark on the VHLM this year since I didn`t get an opportunity too last year. I`m just really excited to be back to playing the game I love.”

Linholm is off to quite the start to the season this year. After getting one point in his first game of the season, he ripped off 8 in the next two. He seems to be a favorite to challenge for the scoring title this year and looks to be using this extra season to his advantage. Linholm is looking to join the Americans next year and will be looking to help out the team anyway he can.

Great episode!

Thanks for the shout-out. I`ve been trying to participate as much as I can to help increase my reputation and get more accustomed to the league.

And I do vaguely get some of the jokes but the only one that I have a firm grasp on is how much of a drunk jardy is.

Way to go boys! Glad to see the team is doing well!

I know that we're going to have to score a bunch this year but Jesus Christ those last two games

Solid win boys

But I was on the third line!!!!!!!!

I noticed and thought that was weird. Probably had something to do with you trying to hit all our players to improve your hit stat

Haha well I'm not sure why he put you there since he said you'd be on our top line.

Yeah! Solid start to the season and we all managed to get a point in the game which is always great.

SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

Yeah that sounds good, it will be good to have someone help out with defense because my player probably won't

Also I can't wait for the sim, I'm excited to see what our line does

Linholm on the Ice during Americans Training Camp

Taken with the second overall pick in this past seasons draft, Linholm got to spend some time in the city that he will be playing his VHL hockey in. Linholm had gotten to spend a week or so in New York and was able to take in the many sights and sounds of the media capital of the world. It can be quite the experience for a young player, especially one from a different country. Linholm is going to have to get used to the birght lights if he hopes to succeed in a city like New York. 

"I enjoyed being able to enjoy the city. It is very large and has many thing to do in it. It kind of took me off guard with how much there was to do in the city. I can't wait to finally start playing hockey here. This is a city that requires players to succeed and anything less is not accepted here. I am looking forward to hopefully being able to live up to the lofty expectations here and giving this city something to get excited about."

Linholm was able to get in some training camp practices with the Americans and was able to sign an entry level contract with the team. As expected, however, Linholm will not be on the main squad when the season kicks off. He has been re-assigned to the VHLM and will be spending the season with the Minot Gladiators. The Americans are hoping that another season in the VHLM will help Linholm gain more practice hours and allow him to find his game. They feel he could develop better if he is seen as an important player on a team rather than one who would struggle to find a place on their second line.

"Of course I'm a little disappointed I wont be playing with the Americans this season but I expected to be back in the VHLM. I'm just focused on starting this season strong and getting better. I will be playing with the Americans next season and hopefully we can do something really special when the time comes. Until then I will be playing with the Gladiators and I'm excited to get the season started. It seems that we have a great group of guys there and I think we have a team that could be challenging for the founders cup this season. There isn't a team that is as stacked as the Watchmen were so I feel that it really gives us a chance at winning it all this year."

The VHLM does figure to be much more competitive this year than last year and Linholm is hoping to take advantage of that and make a lot of noise in the league this year. After being a fixture on Berns third line last year, Linholm is expected to slot into the first line this year with the Gladiators. With the departure of Logan Laich to the VHL Linholm is seen as one of the top players playing in the VHLM this year and is expected to challenge for some of the awards this next season.

hopefully jardy survived the weekend so that he sims it today and we can start the season. Can't wait to play with you boys.

That's what we do them for

well keep up the awesome work! It was nice seeing my player mentioned in here last season and helped keep me motivated to stay and continue to try and make my player better.

Awesome work!

I love reading these because it helps shine the spotlight on a league that doesn't really receive much attention.

Good luck in the VHL this season guys! Hopefully you guys tear shit up this year. Can't wait until I can join the team but until then I'll just be an all-star in the vhlm.

Yeah no matter what the rest of the league may think, we are a solid squad who score goals and such

#GladiatorPower

Maybe I'll take a couple shots on our own goalie this season. Nothing too major but some easy ones too raise his save percentage plus a slap shot every once in a while to make sure he is paying attention

Perfect we need someone to boost our +/-

Yeah well you know me

Just a team player like that.

Perfect strategy! And while everyone is watching you two hit each other and block each others shots I'll just sneak around and score a goal or 2

ryyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

My favorite type of liquor

Rye not eh?

Just stand in front of the net and I'll try to bounce some pucks in off you

*Swedish Hair Flip*

Jk man, hopefully my player can help you get as much points as possible so you can get all those achievement points to help make your player the best he can be.
