Now yes, they're not sim leagues exactly, but in a lot of them there's areas for fnatasy hockey etc.. You also can't tell me that on a site of that many people on most of those forums, there's not people like you and I who love hockey and would love the idea of the VHL and what it has to offer.
Before you, Advantage, is roughly 300,000 worth of members on forums. No idea how many are active, but there. As I said, out of 10,000 active people - youd have to think there's SOME who are looking for something like this or would be interested in something like this. Never hurts to try. Don't be annoying when advertising the VHL. Don't spam sites EVERY off-season like the SHL does and keep it to one post on the site. Bump it as much as you want, but don't have 5 different posts.
