  1. And we got the upper hand! Have had a spy in the Brampton LR for sometime now.
  2. The Oslo Storm have made another move in hopes to once again help their organization become strong contenders. Manager d_a has officially hired an assistant to help him out with building a roster and assisting him with the daily duties of finding a way to be successful, stable and 110% efficient. Banackock, ex Brampton Blades S42 Founders Cup champion, has officially been hired a Co-GM of the Oslo Storm. Although a quick statement was made shortly, he made another brief statement later on regarding what he's feeling and how it went down. Honestly, I feel amazing. I feel like a kid at his birthday that just got the present he's been waiting for and had asked for. I approached league management yesterday regarding Oslo's Head GM position, unaware that d_a had taken over from Bluesboy shortly after he left the helm. The moment that told me Jason was the guy in charge, I had a fairly good feeling. I approached him last night asking him about the position and telling him I'd do whatever it takes to help bring success and a cup to Oslo. He asked if I wanted it and it was that simple. It's something I didn't overly expect but I've know him for quite a long time and although complications, he knows my experience and worth ethic are both very high. Oslo has had a difficult season this year. As everyone knows, I was a Brampton Blades and helped the boys win a cup last season. It's nice to see Brampton win and find so much success the following season and of course anyone would love to join a team like that, but Oslo's struggle this season is one of the largest things that attracted me to the team this year. If you join a great team and win, what did you do? Sure it feels good but could you imagine if you joined a place where so much work was required that if and when you won, how great would that feel? d_a and I have the potential, the experience and I believe the beginning of what's going to be a strong, effective partnership when it comes to running the Storm. I'm a very passionate guy who goes above and beyond to win. I'm very excited to start this new venture in the VHL community and the VHLM! Thank you, Banackock
  3. 19-1-1 -- .930SV% -- 1.40 GAA - 8SO Hey, hows it going?
  4. Firstly, I'd like to thank d_a for the opportunity. I approached him with interest of teaming up with him and was surprised at how quickly we got it all into play. I've known d_a for quite sometime now and I honestly believe that myself and him have the ability and experience needed in order to help restore Oslo's success, make us contenders and once again help them chase a Founder's Cup championship. I am extremely honored to firstly team up with a guy like him, but also help take the reigns of what's going to be a very successful, stable organization in the future. This year has been extremely negative for the organization, however, that was honestly the largest thing that attracted me to the position. It's not a simple task to win or to create an efficient, successful roster. Together I know him and I can accomplish this though. Thank you once again d_a! I'm very excited to work with you and begin our journey together to the top!
  5. Collecting shutouts like they're taxes. What what?!
  6. Is he one of the bigger names when it comes to up and coming elite talents in the VHL? We're unsure of that. Does he deserve to be? We absolutely believe he does. He's gone from a goalie who sat on the sidelines for most of his first season, to winning a a Founders Cup in his second season with Brampton to now leading the VHL in shut outs so far with 7 as a rookie goalie. We understand he's young in his career and he may be getting a few of the easier games, but regardless, his work ethic and efforts also point towards a very promising career. Will he slow down? This is something we've been asking since he came into the league. As always, time will tell but we have a feeling he can ride it out for quite sometime still as he loves the rewards he's receiving. "I've just been focusing on getting better. Sometimes it's tough to put in the work needed to accelerating your development compared to others you're competing against, but if you want to be successful, you need to really work for it. In my career, it started out rough but afterwards, I've been really blessed. I was able to pick my team in my second season and we ended up winning a championship. During that season, I was also drafted to the Stockholm Vikings. Boub's is an amazing GM and although I had spoken to other GM's, I fear I may have gone inactive. Boub's is great and is a huge reason why I keep pushing myself to improve no matter how badly I want to have a cheat week. For what my future holds? I have no idea. I want to become a great goalie but I will admit, I've been feeling fatigue a bit lately. It's a lot of work to push yourself to the limits I've been since the start of my career."
  7. Tied for first for shutouts. #RookieOfTheYear?
  8. Obviously the time was ticking when it came to rookie goalie Blake Campbell earning his first regulation loss of the season. With a record of 12-1-1, his opponents officially proved he's human, just maybe a special kind of superhuman breed. His records are still great, sporting a GAA of 1.38 and a SV% of .927. His first regulation loss of the year came to Toronto, which seen him stop 28 of 29 shots, but came up short in a 1-0 defeat. It was a good, hard fought game by both sides. I thought I played exceptionally well, the boys just couldn't get the puck through the guy at the other end. Honestly, it was one of the best games we've lost. Especially considering I had Prince Giga-Bijou on my ass all game chirping me every moment he got. For a man that plays 27 minutes and doesn't get a single shot, that's pretty damn comical if you ask me.
  9. Unlike E'twaun Delicious's season up and down rollercoaster of a first season, Campbell's has been nothing but up - so far. Now rocking a record of 10-0-0, a GAA of 1.44 and a save percentage if .921, he's on his way to having a fairly successful rookie campaign. With such an incredible start to the season, one can't help but wonder when the kids going to get his first loss in the big league. Recently,numerous casinos on the Las Vegas strip have started taking bets with odds reaching sky high returns. Mr. Delicious calls himself the best thing since sliced bread. Blake Campbell is the best thing since sliced bread. I think it's fun that they're making bets like that. I haven't been paying attention too much right now to the outside world. I'm very focused on my game right now and finding ways to come up big for my team whenever I get the opportunity to fight for them between the pipes. It's been a good, fun start. Hopefully I can keep my play up!

  11. Blake Campbell is playing some fairly impressive hockey lately and it's awfully surprising considering his statistics in the VHLM. Although he was strong and for the most part consistent, at times, his numbers may not have reflected his talent level or his teams talent level. At the VHL level, his numbers are good at compared to elite goalie Brick Wahl, he's making him look like the back up. We all know it's Wahl's final season and that Blake Campbell is pretty much the future in between the pipes for Stockholm. With his recent play, we decided to hear what he had to say about it. "Feels good to being playing so strong for our boys. I go out there and my mission is to stop every single shot. Right now, my numbers are helping us find good success and I'm very happy for that. Honestly, I'm a bit surprised at how I'm handling myself and there's still quite a bit of season left to go. Either way, it's been one hell of a way to start out my VHL career.
  12. Dayyyum. My numbers are better in the VHL than the VHLM. 7-0-0 ... ,936 SV % -- 1.23 GAA Rookie of the year please and thanks.
  13. Congrats to Jedtsson! IMO, well earned. Grats to the other 2 as well! Best of luck this season boys!
  14. Just noticed this. Woooo! So pumped!
