also, sorry for the shit MS. Usually they're better but been so busy on here needed to just get it out of the way

Okay, well.. it hasn't been that long. The Bears aren't too far off their last Continental Cup victory and despite rebuilding not too long after winning, aren't too far off once again making the leap into contention. For Bears GM Blake Campbell, it ay seem like a lifetime. While the team has had a nice little start, you can't help but look back and remember the stone cold rape that took place between them and the Davos Dynamo. Though and now, you look at the bigger picture and they didn't do too bad. Would it have been smart to hold off and wait? Some argue yes, some argue no. I like to go with no for a couple of reasons. The first being that I owe it to those guys. I'm supposed to do whatever it takes for the team to succeed and this move was not one of those. BUT, sometimes you also do right by your guys. They stuck around, helped me out so I helped them out and look.. they won a cup.. hopefully this is something they remember though I'm unsure they do. They next piece to it was that we didn't know who was coming, who was going and we're not ready to accept playing for mediocrity. Lastly, we didn't come out of it all that bad. The last few seasons we've picked up some nice pieces - Thompson, Sterling, Kovalev, Kovalchuk and Smirnov. Now, we have the draft approaching and we're pretty pleased with everything right now. We're trying to get our boys points, but we don't want to win.. yet we are.. so that's a nice sign. Everyone is clicking amazingly on the team right now. Sterling is playing strong and once the team around him is a little stronger, look out. The offense is crazy good and the boys are flying. I think it's a matter of time before they become "The 3", though, there's always room for me. Rumble, Rumble.. the Bears are involved in some extremely small rumours - but have been noted in being interested in a player off the Helsinki Titans roster. With new management in, will they be willing to get a deal done? Guess we'll see. So I guess the title is wrong. It hasn't been a while but man, it felt like it. I'm excited though! I'm happy with the group we got, how everyone has stepped up and how strongly everyone has progressed. We're lights out for offensive skills and hopefully this attracts some guys in the off-season to hop over and play with us. We'll be adding a nice piece in the draft which will go along with our stellar core, next all we need i those little pieces to truly push us over. Tides are changing, the Bears are growing. Very exciting time to be in Seattle. As GM Blake Campbell left the podium, he turned and smiled. Crazy thing was, through that tough stretch, his hair was greying. Call me crazy or call it hair dye - who knows, but he's looking young these days. Do we have a case of the VHL's Benjamin Button on our hands? 524 words = 1 week August 27th to September 2nd --> DOUBLE 1/2 (donations) Posting early because it's one of those weeks.. again

EU 1. No. 100% 2. No. 100% 3. Maybe. 75% on board. Always like the name but like Stockholm more. 1. NA. St Johns... lol no. 2. New Orleans 100% no 3. No In my opinion USA: Denver, Chicago, Philly, Minnesota, LA, Boston I like... not opposed to Atlanta, Phoenix, Baltimore or Detroit/St. Louis are some nice places. I get being "different" than the big and mainstreams, but not New Mexico.. Canada: 1. Vancouver, 2. Montreal 3. Winnipeg and thats it. Id stay away from the East Coast now that Halifax has a team in the VHLM because if and when a rebrand ever comes, it won't be the Bears, Americans etc going - it'll be St Johns. Euro I mean, tough... Do you want recognizable cities? Do you want big hockey scenes? Or are we simply look to go somewhere cool and be different? 1. Stockholm (hockey) 2. Dublin (different) 3. Vienna (Different - spread your wings) 4. London, Paris or Rome - (Recognizable, big places) 5. St. Petersburg (hockey) 6. Vatican City (Vipers) -- (because I once had a team named that) 7. Moscow, Russia 8. Bern/Zurich - Switzerland 9. Bratislava @hedgehog337 lets do it if so Europe is a lot tougher for me to come and pin point a place. For Canada, Vancouver would be my #1 and USA is tough but I'd like the idea of Minnesota, Boston, Philly or Chicago getting a team IF their names are solid and not something like the 43rds.

Ah. They always are good for the World Cup. Let us enjoy World Juniors hehe

Awesome, man.

Yay

Close

Yeah but not #1 ok

Congrats @Quik And amazing run @Higgins. Best GM of all-time imo hands down.

You're already on USA

That may be next year, hehe.

Every player was "Canada" almost because of how the portal was. If you're not from Canada, you won't be on Canada. Seeing as you have no true Country, you're team World.

Swapped it from one day to two but missed that. It’s the 27th.

With the hiring of two WJC commissioners @BarzalGoat and @McWolf, they quickly got underway on the eligibility list while I clearly had one too many wobbly pops last night. The list is completed and ready for your eyes. Click here for the S62 WJC Eligibility List! When new members join, they may not know that their country or nationality do play a significant role sometimes in the VHL. Some simply put Canada or the US possibly because that's where they're from or it's generic and leave it at that. This affects your chances at playing in the World Cup and WJC and ultimately and obviously determines which team you will play for. For the World Juniors, take a look at where your country will have you play: WJ Nationalities/Teams Now, If any 1st gen members (members on their first ever player) wish to change their nation, they are able to do so for 2 days - Monday, August 26th. The cut off time will be 8PM EST. Please note, this change will be permanent and can only be done now - not in the future. POST BELOW STATING THE CHANGE Canada --> Russia or whatever.
