Hey Hooper, welcome to the VHL! We are currently in the offseason, so in about a week you'll be entered into the draft where one of our now 12 VHLM teams will look to pick you up. Until then, do some point tasks to get your draft stock up and join the VHL discord to get to know everyone. What league did you get recruited from? Odds are you can claim your PTs from there here through our affiliate program.

Hire this man, was my AGM for 4 seasons and he’s the perfect fit for the job

you can't buy me, you slimy dog... I will take the TPE though thank you very much

I agree with you 100%, back around S64 I pulled together a lot of new members to make the VHLM Magazine that @Sonnetmentioned earlier for this exact purpose. Writing massive articles about the league is cool but you don’t really feel the recognition (or at least at the time you didn’t really) for your effort, so condensing a lot of league related coverage that was endorsed by the league felt like you were making an impact. But for AGMs, maybe it’s just me but the being paid was never really a part of what made me feel involved. Simply having that AGM tag makes you a figure to look up to in a lockeroom, especially at the M level. You’re a guiding figure and you get to help manage a team from time to time. Some GMs handle that role better than others, so maybe you don’t really feel that way, but I’ll stand by the statement that the position is already impactful without the pay. It’s not an “official” position in the leagues eyes yet every member knows of its existence and the majority of teams have one. If it’s official in the eyes of the community, I’d say there’s a platform there.

The fact that Nolan isn't a shoe in smh

Lines in

5th overall eliminated oof

claiming again

1. Which other team(s) in the league would you consider the Wolves rival(s)? Most likely Seattle, we always seem to be pitted against them within the conference. 2. Which team do you think is the most likely to meet up with us for the 1st Round of the Playoffs? New York at this rate, they’re the scariest team in the league to play against at the moment. 3. What do you think our team’s greatest strength is? Depth, we have the players who can preform at the highest level for all facets of our team. 4. With the Trade Dead-Line upon us, do you think the Wolves will make any more moves this season? Honorary pick swap with NY likely. 5. Who do you think our team’s MVP (on the ice) is this season? Shockingly enough HHH stepped up to carry the pack this season, despite a memed history of underperforming. 7. Would you want to join me and DoktorFunk on the DaSLN podcast as a guest? Always like being on if you ever want me back lol

Change how waiver system works, I get why there’s a cap but the way it works how is when we get near the end of the season players simply won’t get offers because GMs are either out of claims or want certain positions. Rather than a season cap, make each team get 2-3 claims a week, it will keep teams from dominating the market while also letting players be claimed through the entire season. This would help streamline the process as far as getting players on teams faster as GMs would be less afraid of using their last few waivers, since they reset at then end of the week.

also doubles claim

With all the progress the VHL has made in recent seasons, there's a lot of new things to learn, and a lot of old information that has since become outdated. While progress is great for everyone, the league has a tendency to put these changes as something we'll all "figure out with time". This works fine for the people who have been around, sure, but as I've quickly come to find out it leaves a lot of people behind. New players have a challenge of waltzing between new rules and outdated ones that often contradict, and a plethora of information they often times have to hunt for. This has left me with an idea to bring together the relevant earning info as of S72, and consolidate in one place, somewhere new players can look to learn how they can build a superstar. Before we get into this guide, I'd like to make it abundantly clear that you by no means need to complete every task in this guide to compete. Some of the leagues best are welfare players (you'll learn about that later), and optimizing your build is more important than simply having the most TPE. I'll link to a couple very helpful guides on building at the bottom, so you can get an idea of what to do with all the TPE you are going to earn. Now, let's start with the basics: WEEKLY EARNING Many new players aren't sure where to start with claims, or are told to "just claim welfare". This quickly becomes boring and disengaging, often times leading to members leaving the site all together. Do no fear, however, as I with my infinite wisdom have come to share with you all the different options you have for claiming TPE. Let's start with our capped options: Point Tasks: -Media Spots -Graphics -Podcasts Point Tasks can be done once a week for 6 TPE. They count against your weekly cap of 12, and are your main source of TPE. Media Spots must be 500 words in length, and can be claimed for additional weeks if they exceed 500 words. Graphics are a little more straight forward, one graphic = 6 TPE. Graphics, like all point tasks, must be league related. They oftentimes come in the form of player forum signatures, or sometimes recruitment banners for the various VHL/VHLM teams. Podcasts are where things get tricky. If only you are claiming it (a solo podcast or a podcast with the guests not claiming the TPE), it only needs to be 15 minutes long. From there it gets a little hectic, so I'll just show you the breakdown. To claim them you will have to copy the link to your Point Task, click on Update Player at the top of the forum, and click "claim capped" on the right hand side. From there you fill out the form as needed, putting what week you are claiming for, what type of task and the link to your post. For those who find the Point Tasks daunting, or even just don't have the time for that week, Welfare is the option for you. By simply commenting in the weeks thread, you get a free 4 TPE to claim. You can ONLY claim this if you don't claim a Point Task for that week, as this takes the place of it. Claiming it is easy too, rather than linking to the post, click the share icon on the top right of your comment in the thread, and use that as your link when you claim. This allows multiple people to claim in the same thread and ensures you've posted there. You can find weekly welfare threads here. These are your core capped TPE opportunities. However, your capped TPE, well, caps at 12. So if we get half from our Point Tasks, where are the other 6 coming from? Secondary Capped: -VHL.com -Press Conferences -Reviewing -Trivia These capped opportunities require less work than Point Tasks, and are worth 2 TPE each. For VHL.com, you can do any of the three categories of Point Tasks with reduced requirements. For VHL.com articles, you only need to write 150 words, for Graphics they can be less intensive than a proper 6 TPE Graphic (the standard isn't incredibly clear), and podcasts can be a minimum 5 minutes. Unlike proper Point Tasks, .com tasks can't be multi-claimed if you hit the requirement more than once, so writing a 1000 word VHL.com article is still only worth 2 TPE. Press conference are slightly easier, as most teams will post team conferences once a week. Simply ask or answer 6 questions in any press conference (you should do your own teams/players press conference, but you can do any of them) and use that comments link to claim another 2 TPE. Reviews are worth 1 TPE each, and you can do it twice a week. A review should be a comment under another players Point Task, that provides them with at least one constructive paragraph. You should be reviewing articles from oldest to newest, so if you choose to seek out reviewing TPE keep that in mind. Finally, Trivia. Most lockerooms have a trivia channel where the almighty trivia gods ( @Esso2264 and @GustavMattias ) will post the answers for you. This is basically free TPE, and all you have to do to claim it is link the answers post when it comes out. All of these are claimed in the same area you claimed your Point Tasks/Welfare. Great! Now we've hit our 12 TPE cap, surely there's no more TPE to be earned, right? WRONG Enter uncapped TPE, there are many ever-changing ways to gain additional TPE every week that doesn't count against your cap, and can set your player apart from the rest. I'm going to cover things in a somewhat broader sense here, as there are lots of opportunities here that fall in the same vein. We'll start with the easiest one, Practice Facility. You click a button. That's it. It's instant, free, uncapped TPE. While you're in the VHLM you will get 2, and once you move up you get 1. It's claimable once a week, and of all the things on this list there's really no reason not to claim it. One of the best ways to set yourself is career Point Tasks. They are once a career tasks that are worth 5 uncapped TPE each, written at certain points in your career. They typically involve a 400 word article, along with a picture or graphic. You get 4 opportunities to do these, for a total of 20 TPE, so being on top of these will set you substantially ahead. Your first one, the Junior Review, can be found here. The last uncapped opportunity I will touch on is the VHL Fantasy Zone, as pretty much everything else is event based. Within the VHL Fantasy Zone there is the VHFL, where you draft a line of VHL players to earn points and ultimately uncapped TPE throughout the season. There is also Pick'em and Predict the Score, where predicting the outcome of VHL sims will earn you more uncapped TPE. And perhaps the biggest component of the fantasy zone, Awards Prediction. This is participated in by loads of the league, predicting which players will earn which awards and which teams will take home the cup. Correct predictions earn yet more uncapped TPE, and it's a completely automated system that simply requires you to input your guesses at the end of the season. So that about wraps up all the ways you can earn. I've alluded to a couple events throughout the season, where you can earn even more uncapped on top of all this, such as doubles week (which I'm coincidentally writing this article for) and recruitment drives, but they will typically be announced on both the forums and your Discord lockeroom, so you'll know when they come around. As far as what to do with all this TPE, @GustavMattias has written a series of article dedicated to teaching new players how to build, and if you'd like to check them out as well they will be found below. Good luck and welcome to the VHL! 1369 (nice) words

We could, I’m in a bit of a grey area for scheduling atm as school just got out but I also have a tbd start date for work, but once I have a better idea I’ll set smth up

Happy birb day dad

Hey Sabres, and welcome to the VHL! I'm Cole, the GM of the Mississauga Hounds. We're currently wrapping up Season 71, so you'll have a short tenure with us before you go up for grabs in the Season 72 dispersal draft, but until then I can promise middle 6 minutes to get you started! You're going to receive offers from numerous GMs, so don't accept just yet, but if you want to Join the Hunt with us, just quote this offer and say "Accept". See you on the ice!

Hey Sellar, and welcome to the VHL! My name is Cole, I'm the GM of the Mississauga Hounds, one of the leagues newest franchises. We're wrapping things up with the current season, so you wouldn't really stick around with us too long (unless we get to steal you in the draft ?) but I can promise you middle 6 minutes until the season ends! We have an active lockeroom with lots of veteran presence to help guide you and get you started. There will be lots of teams offering you, so don't accept just yet, but if you want to Join the Hunt with us, feel free to quote this offer and say "Accept"! Good luck and see you on the ice!

I appreciate this more than I've probably expressed, but I promise you won't regret this decision. LETS GO HOUNDS

I’ll apply, I’ve recently stepped away from NY to have a better focus on the VHLM, I was looking to get an AGM position here first to get a better idea of how the VHLM GM scene operates but I think I can take what I’ve learned from the VHL and adapt it to the position. I’ve wanted this chance for 3/4? seasons now and I promise I won’t let you down.

If this hasn't been filled yet, I'd like to step down from NY to come back to Mississauga. Aside from being more in line with what I want to do with my GM career I loved the Hounds and would have a blast working alongside @Berocka to keep the team going strong.

I’m genuinely going to retire

FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY, but for real love dok and proto and hope they do amazing things in the M

Applying, prefer team Asia but any team will do
