Matt Aloisi Rookie Profile
Age: 19
Position: Goalie
Hometown: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 185 lbs
Matt Aloisi is an 19 year old goalie born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Aloisi began playing hockey at the age of 5 as a centre. His road to becoming a goalie was quite farfetched and occurred during a club game at the age of 14. Aloisi allowed himself to step into the goal when his teams starting goalie was unable to make it to the game in time due to compilations. He made 23 saves on 25 shots in a 3-2 win that saw Aloisi's hockey career change forever. After winning multiple provincials tournaments, Goalie of the Tournament awards and other inter-club awards, Aloisi is ready to take it to the next level in his road to becoming one of the worlds best.
Pros:
1) Reflexes
- A large part of Aloisi's previous success in between the sticks comes from his raw reflex ability. Aloisi possesses the ability to stretch out in key moments when the puck is being jammed towards the net. His raw ability outmatches even some of the best in the business.
2) Rebound Control
- Another large part of Aloisi's game is his awareness to keep control on the puck, when making saves. Being able to cut down potential rebound opportunities, Aloisi limits the amount of high potential scoring chance each and every game. As seen in many games, when rebound chances are limited the opposing forwards can becoming very frustrated.
3) Leadership
- Aloisi is also a locker room role model. Where he does not have much ground to control his teammates during the game, he makes up for this by being someone players can talk to in support, encourage, and allow to play better without any added pressure. Much like the role of a coach, Aloisi has a very high team spirit and brings together great cohesion when it comes to the overall chemistry of the squad.
Cons:
1) Experience/Age
- Aloisi's first con is his lack of experience and age. As he is only a goalie of 5 years now, he may not have the experience that someone playing in the high levels may have, this could be a potential flaw with any high level team, wanting to give Aloisi ice time right away. However, his ability and motivation allow him to flourish in his younger years.
2) Penalty Shot Stopping
- Aloisi had never really been a major threat when it comes to saving penalty shots. While his reflexes and hand speed ability is very high, his quick eagerness and inexperience can leave him exposed if shooters try to outskill him using fancy moves.
3) Size
- Aloisi's size can also be a negative factor for him in goal. At just over 6' and 185 lbs, he is not the largest guy in the locker room. He makes up for this with his cat-like reflexes and hand speed, which can make him look like a much larger target in the net.
While Aloisi may be young and inexperienced, he has the potential and motivation to make it to the big leagues if he put his mind to it. He has the shot stopping ability, and would need to work on his awareness and being able to use his size more efficiently.
You're probably wondering how to get started! First, once you Create Your Player, a post will automatically be made for you in the Player Creation forums. Once your player is made and the post is up, VHLM GMs will offer you contracts to join their team for the remainder of the season. You'll be eligible in the next VHLM Dispersal Draft, which happens in every offseason. If you create during the playoffs or during the offseason, before said draft, you won't have to sign with a team, but you'll get be drafted straight away.
The team that drafts you hold your rights for 3 seasons, or up until you start a season with over 250 TPE, at which point you will be called up by the VHL team that drafts you during your class' VHL Entry Draft.
You will have to create Point Tasks in order to improve your player. This is how you make your player better. There are a number of different ways to improve your players. In fact, you can get up to 12 capped points (or "TPE," Total Points Earned) per week from normal activities. See this thread for more information on TPE.
HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR PLAYER

A point task is a media spot (500-word long article about anything league-related), graphic/video (something cool, like a signature or a logo redesign, needs to be league-related), podcast (again, needs to be league-related and a minimum of 15 minutes).
You can only do one of these weekly, and they are all worth 6 TPE. Alternatively, if you don't have time to do a 6-TPE point task, you can claim welfare for 4 TPE, or more if you made a PT in an affiliate sim league this week.

> Write your player's Prospect Scouting Report - Prospect Scouting Report In the season prior to your VHL Draft, write up a scouting report focusing on your player's pros/cons and his VHLM career to date. Like the Junior Review, this is required to be 400 words long and nets you 5 TPE upon completion.
The Junior Review and the Prospect Scouting Report are two of the five Career Point Tasks available for you to participate in over the course of your player's career. The other three tasks are the Rookie Experience, Veteran Presence and Biography, however these will not become available to you until after you've been drafted to the VHL and later.

Once you’ve done your point tasks, you will have to claim them on the league’s portal before you can add the TPE to your player’s attributes. To find out more, click HERE.
YOU SHOULD BE SET!
Be sure to ask a member if you have any questions. A thread has already been made for you in the Introduce Yourself forum, tell the VHL a little more about yourself in there! It’s also a good idea to join the league discord where you’ll be able to get answers to any questions that you have almost immediately.
