cum back of the ages?

ooo dear

Same thing for me. Thanks!

If you need any help, let me know. I'd love to get some new members and fresh faces up in here!

Over the last little while we've sat back and watched numerous great, quality and active members leave the VHL. Some got tired of the site, some got too busy and some have simply over stayed their welcome. Over the same period of time, we've welcomed a lot less fewer members who have remained active around the boards, on the update pages and simply put.. in the VHL! I'm unsure about all of you, but losing members faster than we are gaining is not a good thing and with all the good quality members leaving - they need to be replaced. If this is not done, unfortunately there will come a day (and at this rate it won't be too long) that the VHL will sadly close the doors and be nothing more than a memory to all those who were apart of it and an empty, inactive forum to those who stumble upon it in the future. Now, I love the VHL. I love coming on and seeing all the different personalities coming together to enjoy something we all have in common. We either all like hockey, love the sim or the community and the people that are within it. This site offers something very, very few leagues around the web do and even while there are other sites, very few compete with the VHL. The VHL, when compared to the other bigger, more known player sim league the SHL, is much more relaxed, with less drama, yet fewer people. However, I community is strong, loyal and much more enjoyable due to those facts and so many more. Whether we like each other, agree on lots or whatever the case, we're seriously like a family. You don't have to like the person, but each day we log onto our accounts and join each and every other person on here, interact with them and somehow affect them and their lives. I took this recruitment role for a couple reasons. The first being that I want to help the VHL and deep down I feel as though I have some good ideas. Unfortunately with recruiting, just because you have good ideas doesn't mean you're going to bring in anyone or anything. You put hours into and sometimes get fuck all out of it - but here I am still trying week after week. Secondly? For me. I love the VHL. It's a great hobby, way to kill time throughout the afternoon and evenings and brings me happiness to my life. I love hockey, I love simulation hockey and I always had the dream of making it big. As stupid as it sounds, this is the closest I'll get and I'm fucking fine with that. Lastly, it's for you guys. If we don't see recruits coming in here at a good amount, there will come the day that the VHL closes the doors, shuts of the light and says good bye like so many of our amazing, quality and top members have done. I've thought of ideas from posting advertisements on Kijijji on the hockey sections, to advertising to a specific group and countries on Facebook (though, it is sort of pricey), to making countless accounts on hockey forums throughout the entire web and posting our message and messaging new members on the SHL to come over and give this site a try (I've in fact just done another round of that). I have a couple ideas let in my sleeve, but I want to get the community talking and see what other ideas are out there. It's great and all that @Will trusted myself and at the time Eagles to take reigns and attempt to recruit, but at the end of the day, it's not just our site that we enjoy. Everyone is a huge part of it and if recruitment doesn't starting happening, the VHL is a fire that is slowly fading a burning out. I'm also curious what the thoughts are from the BOG and @Higgins and @Will on bringing back a seasonal recruitment drive. We could offer prices to individuals and ONLY individuals. It's not hard. If you have friends or online acquaintances, bring them aboard. If you know of a site or are apart of a site (hockey forum, any type of game or anything) - what's the harm in quickly asking around? Possibly as a price - 1-2 TPE per a recruit with the following prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd? 1st - 7 BONUS tpe 2nd - 5 BONUS tpe 3rd - 3 BONUS tpe Make a multi, you're DQ from all prize. Thoughts and ideas guys? It's time to come together, save the VHL from sinking and really make the VHL the best simulation league on the web once again

Go Yukon..

Really appreciate the work you, @JardyB10 and the odd time @Will do for the simulation part of the league. I have never done it, but I know a lot of work goes into it with updating and the whole nine yards. Don't tire yourself out! The VHL has lost a lot of good members lately while on having a few newer members come on board. We need quality members like you to stick around while still enjoying the league. Thank you so much @Higgins for all that you do!

I told you who it was in the LR... shhh

Team Scandinavia so I can teach this young blood how it's done.

Sick. Love how you did the last name!

Shame. Losing an amazing member and contributor to the VHL. Hopefully you come back around and recreate, man. Cheers

Kyanon got 93, 1 extra for us this year. Just saying

Congrats to Riga on another great year Very impressive. Also to NYA. Always expected you guys to play a strong year and knew it was either you or us heading to the finals. Built a really great team. Very deserving

Another one bites the dust

Hey, there's my name again. Starting my career off as a champ??

Honestly, I thought Hall was pretty good. Offensively anyway. Better than a majority of our 1st rounders. Maybe not 1st in his draft, but def. still a top player. Most consistent point scorer when we went through our struggles and a lot of people shit on him but I will always be in his corner. Stuck around when things were tough and got shafted once they started looking up. Eberle should have been the one to get dealt to New Jersey for Larsson. Of course with say a 2nd or such pick as well possibly. I just can't stand the guy. Weak on the puck, never in the corners etc. Lucic is slightly overrated in Edmonton too imo right now. Not doing horrible, not doing great either. Im still waiting to see some feisty play and him beat the shit out of someone.

Magnus Pajaarvi Svensson likely in the last 7 or so years or whatever. Oilers are shit at drafting though. Especially before we started our era of 1st OV's

roidin up

bout time. I forgot how to untie my skates so Ive been sitting here since game 5 or whatever.

who wants to win 3 cups with 3 different teams all in a row though? why have those kind of braggin rights?

Lawrence seems to be the smarter of the two.

Very interesting. May be an enjoyable off-season. I think we're freeing up something like 12M while seeing a few spikes from players due to tpe jumps.
