  1. @Tagger so how many picks will there be in the draft?
  2. Ehh, I guess I'll apply for Team Asia, mainly because they're probably the underdogs entering this competition.
  3. A post on Reddit has gone viral overnight after it showed Ottawa Lynx third line centre Jerome Mitchell, working at the counter of a Burger King restaurant next to Parliament Hill. The user who posted the picture, Reddit_Is_For_Nonces, who would like to remain anonymous, told local news that he was walking into the Burger King for his lunch break, when he snapped the picture. "I walked into the Burger King restaurant, eager to eat my favorite Whopper with extra onions, when all of a sudden, I see this hulking guy working the register, and my first thought in my head was: 'Isn't that guy Jerome Mitchell, that kid that Ottawa drafted in like the last round of the draft?'. Ironically, he was the guy who took my order, but not after I took that photo of him. He was a cool guy, and I didn't ask for his autograph, although part of me did want to, despite the fact I had nothing for him to sign, and nothing for him to sign with." The post has since garnered over two thousand upvotes. Reddit_Is_For_Nonces, whose account previously had -69 karma, has had his karma count skyrocket to nearly 1900. "I used to be a troll, but after I got all of these upvotes, I guess I'll stop trolling and see how many upvotes I can get." Mitchell, 15, was an absolute teenage phenomenon in his native province of British Columbia, playing for a local Midget AAA team when he should have been playing Bantam hockey. His skills in that level, it seems, have not transferred to the VHLM. In 18 games so far with Ottawa, Mitchell has scored only 1 goal, and recorded just 2 measly points playing for the Lynx, despite averaging over 15 minutes of ice time per game. Only a few days ago, Mitchell was seen yelling at reporters following the end of a frustrating loss to the Halifax 21st. Mitchell also proclaimed to the reporters that he was "a freaking bust", before knocking down a bucket full of pucks. Mitchell later gave out an apology to the reporters at a press conference, where another reporter jokingly asked Mitchell what he'd recommend at Burger King, referring to the Reddit post. Mitchell stood up for a second, staring at the reporter, before he shamelessly replied to the reporter: "If you want to make the most of your money, buy a double whopper, and make it a meal". Mitchell then walked out of the conference room. Mitchell's future in the VHL might not be looking so bright after these past few days. Unless he can get his act together both on and off the ice, there's no way he'll make it anywhere in the league. As for his career at Burger King, a spokesperson on Twitter, upon being asked about Mitchell's employment there, responded "We respect our employees' privacy, and as such we will not answer this question." As for Mitchell's team, the Ottawa Lynx are currently 11-6-1, and they appear to be possible contenders for the playoffs, and also could possibly be this season's absolute dark horse. We'll have to see if Jerome Mitchell will play a huge role in the team's success this season.
  4. i was going to retire, but I guess I'll stay a little while longer.
  5. Hey, I scored a goal in the shootout, so that's worthwhile. Also, someone should check Chace out for steroid use. The guy is a BEAST.
  6. won a few face-offs for the team, so that's good. I'll score some more goals eventually.
  7. Excited to be your linemate this upcoming season with the Lynx!

      We'll be part of the best line the VHLM has ever seen! Mark my words.

  9. I did, though. My account hasn't had any problems since, I've got my original player back... honestly, it's probably best to put this incident aside. It's honestly pretty much resolved.
  10. these accounts aren't made by me... seriously, dude, stop accusing me of this shit.
  11. VHLM season starting soon, and the hype is real! Let's go Ottawa Lynx! This season, we're going to go all-in for the cup, and make the city proud!

  14. Early Life Jerome William Mitchell was born on April 21st, 2004, to Kurt Mitchell, a former hockey player and his wife, Barbara, in Burnaby. He and his parents later moved to Surrey. Jerome grew up with a profound passion for hockey, after watching videos of his father playing in the NHL for the Vancouver Canucks. Jerome was a season ticket member with the Canucks as a child, because of his father's role with the Canucks. Jerome learned to skate at the age of three, and started playing hockey a year later. Jerome always stood out compared to the other players on the ice. For one, he was almost always a foot taller than most of the other players, and he was just generally much more bigger and stronger, as well as more skilled. These traits helped Jerome to become one of the most prolific young stars in his hometown of Surrey. He first gained notoriety after video of him scoring a goal in an Atom-level hockey game went viral on YouTube, garnering 40 000 views. Upbringing Jerome was raised in a very Catholic household. Each Sunday, he would go to church with his family, eat brunch, and then join his team for their game in the afternoon. Jerome's father valued two things in life: Hockey and Good Grades in school. These factors were extremely important for Jerome, and he had to exceed in both Hockey and Academics. One day, after a report card that showed very poor results, Jerome's father, Kurt, decided to punish him before Christmas. At first, Jerome thought that he was going to be barred from playing hockey until he got his grades up, but his dad decided to take away his video game console instead, showing that the one thing that mattered more than grades, was hockey. School Jerome attended public schools in Surrey for most of his life, never switching between schools. At school, Jerome did not get into any fights, and the most trouble that he ever got into was either for forgetting to complete his homework assignment, which he did many times. However, Jerome was actually quite academically gifted at school, scoring high marks in all of his classes, especially Physical Education. Jerome originally did have plans to move to Vancouver Island to play for the Shawnigan Lake School's hockey team, which competed in the Canadian Secondary School Hockey League, but after committing to the VHLM, Jerome decided to dedicate himself to playing the VHLM, and ultimately becoming a star in the Victory Hockey League. Midget AAA After scoring nearly 80 goals in his second year of PeeWee AAA, Jerome was recruited by the coach of Burnaby's local Midget AAA team to play for them. Although the players were a few years older than Jerome, he still matched up to those players in size, and skill, dominating in his first season of Midget AAA, scoring an impressive 50 goals, with another 34 assists, for a total of 84 points. Despite his prolific scoring, Jerome also was a tough player on the ice, getting into trouble after a hard check to the boards by Jerome sent a player to the hospital. He finished the season with a whopping 200 Penalty Minutes, and a few of those minutes were accredited to fights that Jerome had gotten into. Scouting Combine and Kootenay Ice Jerome brought his skills to show at a scouting combine for Midget AAA players, where his brilliance on the ice, in addition to his extremely aggressive style of play, impressed a good amount of elite scouts from the WHL, as well as several that represented many collegiate teams for the NCAA with very well-regarded and elite hockey programs. One particular WHL team, the struggling Kootenay Ice, offered to pay Jerome 5000 dollars on the spot, if he signed with them right there and right now. Jerome, who, at that time, had no plans to sign with any team, and had only gone to the combine to play some hockey and have fun with some of his AAA teammates, declined the offer. The following weeks after the combine, Jerome continued to be pestered by the Kootenay Ice team about the possibility of him signing with them, receiving countless letters, emails, and phone calls, from management, begging him to sign. Jerome refused every single offer that he had been given, each time increasing, until it had reached a signing bonus of 20000 canadian dollars, which Jerome still declined. Things got even more out of hand when a player from the Ice came to Jerome's house to persuade Jerome. Jerome's father slammed the door on the player, and proceeded to blacklist all contacts with the Kootenay Ice, before ultimately sending a lengthy email to the Ice front office, telling them that Jerome would never sign with such a trashy organization. Choosing the VHL over the WHL A few days after that incident, Jerome scored 10 points in a Midget AAA game. Following the game, in the parking lot of the rink, Jerome was approached by the general manager of the Vancouver Giants, a major junior hockey team in the Western Hockey League (WHL), while he was loading his equipment in his dad's truck. The GM offered Jerome a contract to play for them in two seasons, at the age of 15, and promised that he would still be paid in the next season, even if he wasn't going to play. Jerome thought this over with his father, who originally did want Jerome to play in the WHL, but after some more careful and deliberate thinking, they decided not to sign with the Giants, and agreed instead to sign up for the VHLM dispersal draft. Unlike the Kootenay Ice, the Vancouver Giants took the declination humbly, not approaching Jerome to sign afterwards. VHLM Draft, and Moving Forward Jerome was drafted in the tenth round of the VHLM draft with the 58th overall pick, by the Ottawa Lynx. Jerome was excited to start his professional playing career in the nation's capital, and he is looking forward to the upcoming season with Ottawa, and he is hoping that he can become a young star in the VHLM, and then afterwards, the VHL.

  15. 1. Play in twenty or more seasons, win at least one cup. 2. Power Forward, I suppose, so similar to Ryan Getzlaf, Jarome Ignila, type players. 3. Good question, getting into the Hall would be sweet, but right now, I just want to play in games and make the most of every opportunity, and every shift I get on the ice. 4. I want to help lead the forecheck on offence, but I'll definitely be aggressive on the defensive end, challenging the puck in the corners, checking players, basically giving the opponent's a hard time scoring. I'd consider myself very two-way for that part. 5. No, I haven't.
  16. Excited to try this out. I heard about this place from reddit user Spade18. Excited to get started, this place looks like a fantastic place.
