In just his second season, captain of the Riga Reign Bronson Faux is already making his mark on the league. That mark isn't exactly that of a superstar player where he's tearing it up, but he's making literal marks on the bodies of the people that gets in his way. Last season he led the league in hits as a rookie and this season saw no change. Faux was near the top of the leader boards in hits since game 1 of the season and was never lower than top 3. Just recently though, Lord Karnage, the self proclaimed MVP of the league had caught up and the two of them battled out who would be the top hitter in the league for the past couple of weeks. When it all came down to it in the final game of the season for the two teams, the Vikings were looking to win and try and claim themselves the top seed in the European conference where Faux saw something else. Karnage had a 3 hit lead on Faux going into the final game and he had to make it up. He did just that as he had a huge 6 hit game where Karnage only managed to get 1 hit. Faux finished with 355 hits, 2 ahead of Lord Karnage and going 2/2 in his career for leading the league in hits.

In final game of the season, Faux passes Karnage as best hitter in the league

The 1st star is weird though. Someone who has 3 points and 10 hits will get the 1st star over someone who has 5 points. Or something ridiculous like 15 shots will sway the 1st star vote. Of course someone who hits is going to get the 1st star more than someone who doesn't. Doesn't mean they are MVP or most dominant on the ice though imo.

Bronson Faux has been given the opportunity to sign with a SHL team and has to make a decision. His play has only gone down since the beginning of the season and while he still sits at a point per game, already beating last years totals, his frustration is growing. At least if he went to the SHL it's a more low scoring league so he'd fit in. Also he's probably be one of the best hitters over there as the totals don't even come to close to VHL totals. But would he really want to stoop that low and go to a league that requires so much less skill? That's the question.

He has it good right now in Riga being the captain of an upcoming team but there's question marks whether or not they will be competitive soon, or how long it will actually take. It's pretty obvious that the smartest choice would be to remain in the VHL and prove that he can be one of the top players in a tough league rather than take the easy way out and go over to the SHL.

Coming off a championship season many were wondering if the Reign would have a championship hangover, or if they would look to make noise again in season forty-one. McQueen was heading into the final few seasons in the VHL and he wished for nothing else but another championship to come his way. McQueen played well again in seventy-two games in season forty-one with a forty goal campaign for the fourth straight season. The regular season went as planned for McQueen and the Reign and they headed into the playoffs as the top seed and a first round bye in the European conference.

McQueen didn't have the same dominance he was known for in the playoffs in season forty-one which may have contributed to the game seven loss against New York. McQueen and the Reign would fail in their bid to repeat as VHL Champions and that would signal an end to the recent run Riga had experienced the past five seasons.

Few people knew of the pending retirement that McQueen would announced at the trade deadline, so many continued on with the season like many of the past seasons. The Reign would be looking to re-build heading in season forty-two, with many big names being shipped out for draft picks and young prospects. McQueen would be the lone holdover on the Reign roster, captaining the team for a record seventh straight season. Although the supporting cast around McQueen dwindled, it still didn't stop him from putting up great offensive numbers again. McQueen led the way for the lowly Reign with forty-six goals and forty-four assists.

His style of play and work ethic made McQueen one of the most desirable players to ever pull on a Reign sweater, but one of the least desirable players to face-off against. Although his regular season numbers may not stand out to those who follow the VHL, one cannot deny that when the playoffs hit, McQueen was one of the most clutch players to ever done a VHL jersey.

Wow QUE G > Mikaelass, too bad he didn't start we probably would have won.

Congratulations to Ahma on becoming the new VHL EU Player Page Updater of Stats, Awards, and Player Movement. He's been an enthusiastic member on the board ever since he joined back at the end of March and I believe he will continue to be an asset to the VHL community for many more seasons.
