This off-season has been a fairly significant one for the Bears organization. We seen a management change, a lot of commitment from our players in extending their time with us and a fairly successful Free Agency period in resigning Sterling and signing tfong and Blacker. Along with that, we seen a few trades that helped our organization as well. It's fairly evident that this season we're going to pursue the cup and I feel confident that I have the right guys to do so. I couldn't be more fortunate to have a great group of guys to lead and share a Locker Room with. With that said, it's time to pick our captains and it was but wasn't too difficult for me to make this call. Without further delay... YOUR S49 SEATTLE BEARS CAPTAINNNNNNN!! @sterling JEFFFFF HAMILTON! This was a no brainer for me and I think everyone on the Bears organization would agree with me when I say Sterling is our guy to lead the squad on the ice. Not only does Sterling bring a huge amount of knowledge, experience and skill to the organization, but he's a huge contributor to the Bears locker room and has helped me so much during my transition from the VHLM to the VHL as a General Manager. Sterling showed huge commitment to the Bears by resigning with us and I truly hope we can hoist a cup and Hamilton be the first one to have it in his hands. YOUR FIRST S49 ASSISTANT CAPTAIN FOR THE BEEEEAARS!! @tfong BIGGGGUUUUUUU KYANON Similar to Hamilton, Kyanon is a huge part of our organization and locker room and has shown commitment towards the Bears by joining us through free agency when there was other alternatives. I've had numerous talks with him, especially during the free agency period when I tried to lure him into our bear trap and I know for sure with those talks and league experience that he is a great guy to be a leader for our team. Cheers, Biggy. AND YOUR FINAL S49 ASSISTANT CAPTAIN FOR THE BEAAAARS, @StevenStamkos91 This was a tough decision for me when you have so many deserving candidates. Do I go with youth and choose Podarok and shine light on a huge piece of our future, or Mengsk and continue on with his leadership role? Very tough choice but at the end of the day, this is a very deserving position that should go to Shawn Muller. During talks of our center situation, Muller stepped up and said he could play the role as center and would build himself up to be a decent center for us when we had a significant hole in that position. A sacrifice like that in my eyes is very classy and deserving of recognition and that is a factor into choosing him as one of our on ice leaders. Cheers, Stammer.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD!

Maybe your 0 points was the luck we needed. HEH, Gold.. heh. Didn't expect this at all. A silver last tournament as USA GM and now GOLD with Scandinavia Good job, boys.

Sorry for the late response. Got covered up by the other forum areas

Very minor talks with me just waiting on you* Better?

GOLD OR SILVER!

If I remember correctly off the top of my head - both TPE levels were the same but the deciding factor was "DF". Weak goalie, need more DF.

GG, Canada.

He's A Lone Wolf: Sven Wolf Bio One word... "Sweden" Sven Wolf lived his entire young life in the heart of Sweden's Capital and the most populous city in the Nordic nations. There, he lived in a suburban area, in a 3 level house that almost tokk up an entire block with the backyard looking right off onto the Baltic sea. If you hadn't caught on, Wolf came from a family of wealth and that wealth played a significant role in his years and teen years that would lead to shape him in the young man he's becoming. Wolf's parents were major investors in Sweden and worked for one of the most well known investing companies throughout Sweden. While spending most of their hours away from home stuck in the office, their time of absence and lack of presence in their children's lives was made up for with materialistic items, fancy clothes and a live of lavish living. Sven, along with his brother (1 year young) and sister (1 year older), all attended the Stockholm School of Arts, which specialized in all sorts of fields. His sister and brother focused their time on their law degrees and played on the hockey team on the side, while Sven strictly went to sharpen his skills at the game on ice. As a young kid, it was no surprise that the neighbor's would come out on any given day of the week and young Sven would already be out their skating circles on their backyard rink, shooting the puck in the net, or shoveling the snow off the surface. Each day, before the sun even managed to awake, Sven was full force on the ice in pursuit to become the best. Ever sine his first Swedish Elite Hockey game he went to see with his father as a young boy, it's been his goal to pursue a career in hockey. With so many professional leagues out there, most would have troubles making up their mind but his heart was set on one specifically - the VHL. Due to his large goal and the limited chance of making it to the big leagues, Sven wasted no time in trying to reach his goal. Whether it be hockey practice, league games or shiny on his rink with his buddies, there was very few moments where he didn't have his feet moving on ice. Wolf celebrating with teammates after scoring a goal. At the age of 2, he laced his first pair up and by 4 he was entered into his first league. By the age of 12, his name had been catching wind and a video had been uploaded to YouTube of this "Young Swedish Boy Wrecking Goalie" and received 300,000 views in 24 hours. A few short years later and a couple videos to go along with them, Wolf was noticed by junior scouts and picked up by the Swedish Elite League's Stockholm Vikings junior team. As a 15 year old, this is an astonishing accomplishment, especially considering he was drafted 6th overall among players much older and bigger. During his rookie campaign of 62 games, he appeared in 56 games, scored 23 goals and managed to pass the puck 57 times for a point total of 80. He finished 5th in the league for points and was immediately labelled as one of the most pure playmakers of the generation. Those who labelled him that, those who said "hey, this kid is going to be something people on the shitters talk about", knew exactly what they were talking about and they were right. In his sophomore year, Wolf did exactly what a lot of people thought and became the best player in the Swedish Elite Junior League at only 6 years old. Now a steal when you look back to him being drafted 6th overall, he led his team to a first place finish and led himself to another 1st place finish on the scoring sheets. With 21 goals, 63 assists for a total of 94 points in 61 games, Sven Wolf showed his dominating offensive presence on the ice and caught the eyes of every entire scout in the Swedish Elite Professional League. After carrying his team on his back and the playoffs, he hoisted the cup and got his first taste at being a champion. Wolf hoisting the Swedish League Cup The following summer was spent doing what he did everyday, no matter the season. The grass could be green of covered in snow, his life revolved around hockey and making himself into the most elite prospect to come from Sweden. After 2 months of hard work, it was time for the SEL Pro draft and Wolf's name was called first overall Vestaras Icemen. This season, Wolf would get his first taste of professional hockey and would be a good indicator of what's to come in his career. Although above skill when it came to most players, the playing fields were essentially equal and the mountain he had to climb this season was much larger than last. Despite the doubt and build up of impossibility by the media, those who once again believed in Wolf laughed their asses off all the way to the finish line. In his rookie season in the Swedish professional league, he aced the year and once again took home the most offensive player award. With 17 goals, 69 assists and 86 points in a full 56 game season, he officially established himself as one of the hottest, most elite prospects. Best part, he earned a no return flight to North America to attend the VHLM draft where he was told his chances of making the VHL are slowly coming more and more into reality. The lights dimmed, the stage light appeared on the VHLM commissioner and it was time to start the S49 VHLM entry draft. As time slowly passed, name by name, players left the crowd, hugged their parents and walk up to the stage to shake the hand of their new organizations GM. Players like Diana Maxwell, Thor Odinsson and Asher Donovan, walked beside Wolf as they went up on the stage. As each name was called, Sven's heart raced with excitement and nervousness as he wondered which team would be confident enough to trust him by calling his name. Finally, 11th overall and with their 3rd pick of the draft so far, Wolf walked up onto the stage, shook the GM's hand and was now smiling for pictures wearing a Brampton Blades jersey. Where his career next, nobody knows but one thing we do know is that he is going to be a force to reckon with. The lone wolf will take the VHLM by storm and show them by the Swedish Elite League opponents circled their game days against his team. Not so much for fear, but because each time they played Wolf, they knew there was going to be some magic on the ice!

This.

No Wolf. Include me in here even though I go to SEA tbh. It's fun, I love these articles and I like rankings

Good game!

Still #1 in my heart though.

3rd Jack Reilly. 2nd most in VHLM history - Bratislava raping awards in my final season as GM.
