10th isn't bad considering I joined a bit later than most! My goal is to be the best to whoever drafts me and never miss a single Point Tasks/opportunity to improve my player (the best I can - haven't missed one yet). #TPEWhore

Blake has recently spoken out about the upcoming draft and his thoughts on himself, his play and other things general managers and VHL scouts may be interested in. At this time, his agent says he;s fairly calm about the situation, however, often shows signs of excitement. Last week, Blake Campbell posted pictures of his bedroom where he posted every single teams posters on the wall. His agent had this to say: 174 words P.s GM's check out the article in the Media Spot section. Feel free to PM me, always available and willing to answer your questions. Thanks!

Blake Campbell posing for his "sexy" draft pose. Once a name that very few knew, he has now established himself a little better within the VHLM and the VHL community and is being looked at by numerous teams come the S44 VHL entry draft. Where he'll go he's not to sure but there is one thing he knows and that's that he's ready for whatever is to come. He's stood with pride, composure and dedication which is all backed up by the tremendous amount of work he's done and luckily for the GM's who are picking early, he's here to have a brief sit down with us so that the GM's are able to get to know one of the leagues best up and coming goalies. Ladies, gentlemen, general managers, scout and players with interest throughout the VHL, Minot Gladiators goalie, Blake Campbell. Before we ask you any questions Blake, we want to get the viewers a basic breakdown of your player and the skill and effort that you truly bring to the table. Blake Campbell was born in Denver, Colorado and is brother to Dalla Stars young goalie Jack Campbell. He wears the number 33 on his back because it's the reason his favorite all-time goalie Patrick Roy had worn. He stands at 75 inches, 198 pounds and has the agility and speed of a Cheetah. His dedication to the game, although he has been here a short time, has been absolutely outstandings as he has yet to miss a Point Task. He credits growing up as a hockey fan and lover to his recent success. Now, for the question period. ED44 --> Entry Draft 44 BC - Blake Campbell ED44 says - Thank you Blake for joining us for this brief interview regarding the up and coming draft. Let's get straight down to business and not waste time as time is precious. What made you come to the VHL? BC says - To be honest, a new alternative - a completely different environment. I've been a member of the SHL since S4 and we've currently are heading into S22. I love the league but wanted something new so that I could still have the love and enjoyment I do for the leagues. So I decided to give the VHL a try. ED44 says - And what are your thoughts on the VHL so far? BC says - It's a different experience that's for sure. I don't overly want to say which I prefer because it's obvious. I've put much more time into the SHL but I really do enjoy the VHL also. There's some great guys here who have offered a helping hand along the way and have stated they're excited to see where I take my player. It's been great and I'm just thankful they were so welcoming to me during my early stage. ED44 says - Awesome. During your early stages eh? Where are you at now? BC says - Obviously It's still fairly early but I've already progressed so much. As you stated above, I've yet to miss an opportunity to better myself and I truly hope to keep it that way for as long as possible. I'm really focusing on just becoming the best I can be because that's a huge goal and motivator for myself. I want to be the best. I will be the best. There is no try because trying means having the intent to potentially fail. ED44 says - What are some things you'd like to say to the GM's? BC says - I don't want to come off as cocky. I want to come off as confident and reassuring as I want whoever drafts me to feel full confidence in their choice. I came into this league and told everyone I was here to do damage and make myself into a great player and although we're quite a ways away from being great, I've come a long way in a short period of time. You have to remember I joined quite a bit later than most of my fellow prospects but I'm already pushing up against them and I hope they're feeling the pressure. ED44 says - Are there any specific teams you'd like to go to? BC says - One time has contacted me so far and out of respect for myself and that organization, I will not release who it was. They can do so if they wish to but I will keep it quiet to protect their choice. However, that team is the one I am most interested in right now because they want me potentially and if they have the confidence and desire to have me, they must believe in me. Anyone who puts belief in me is only going to see amazing results. Keep in mind though that I will play for anybody but this team is very exciting to me. I want to be a starter. I'm fine with earning it, but I want to break through, steal his job and make a name for myself in the big leagues. Juniors mean nothing for me. It's time for development and that's it. I'm focused on the VHL. ED44 says - Perfect. Last question. Any thoughts on a mask idea for when you're up in the big leagues? BC says - I am a big fan of wolves, specifically black ones. I want a mask that resembles that. They're powerful, amazing, strong creatures that in my opinion and truly respected. They're also predators and you don't fuck with them, excuse my french. So when I get up to the big leagues, expect the big bad wolf to break out and blow some houses down. WOLF OUT!

TMZ has recently reported that Minot Gladiators goalie has officially been on the receiving end of... well.. God taking a dump on him, We hate to be harsh but it's true. In the latest episode of Maury, host Maury Povich tricks Blake Campbell into thinking he's on an episode of "Behind the Mask". Although Maury goes along with the act for the majority of the show, he finally pops the big news and you would not believe it! Reports are saying that Campbell had immediately dropped to the floor, shit his pants and his facial skin colour turned ghost white. Paramedics who are trained for this situation quickly rushed into the talk room, threw him up on a stretcher and had taken him to the hospital. Although he is doing okay now, you DO NOT want to miss this story. If you missed the episode, check it out here and until next time, keep dishing us that dirt. http://www.vhlforum.com/index.php?/topic/16462-behind-the-mask/ 158 words. I apologize for this.

Blake Campbell is about to get the surprise of his life. Is it what you think? I think it's safe to say that everyone has an understanding of just how difficult the job is for a goaltender in any league. Each and every night, the team expects their teams to score but without a solid goalie, you're team is very unlikely to be making a competitive push. Teams can struggle to score goals and still find a way out on top because of great goaltending, but it's more harder to win games if you can score but your goalies five hole is bigger than the Grand Canyon. During this episode of Behind the mask, we take a look at one of the newest top goalies to hit the VHLm and truly get the know the real him. I mean, behind that mask there is a person that is in complete control - even with a frozen piece of plastic coming at his face going 80 miles per hour. We'e going to find out what his favorite things are to do, who he is as a person and really unmask one of the hottest young goalies. Without further delay, let's begin. Behind the Mask = BTM BK = BK Talk show host has a sit down with Minot goalie Blake Campbell BTM says - Welcome to the show Blake, we're delighted to have you here. Are you ready for some serious unmasking? BK says - Thank you for having me. I will try my best to give you the best, most truthful answers possible. BTM says - Okay, perfect! Let's begin. First off, I guess it's the best thing to ask, what made you become a goalie? BK says - Well, my brother Jack is currently a netminder for the Texas Stars and was drafted by the Dallas Stars not too long ago. As kids, we always used to compete in the basement with mini sticks and that really got a rivalry going between us. As we got older, we got more involved in sports and he became a goalie, I became a defenseman. After a while, I got tired of the position and wanted more of a challenge. I switched to goalie, really flourished in the position and began to love it. It's been great since. BTM says - Sounds like you and your brother had quite the relationship growing up and that the inner competition between you guys led you into making a very positive choice for yourself as it led you to the VHL. When you came to the league, you weren't picked up right away, but the Minot Gladiators eventually picked you up. How does that make you feel? BK says - You know, I don't really understand the situation to be honest. I don't think many teams needed goalies and then when Minot seen me sitting there for so long they kind of went after me because of that reason. That may have been the reason then, and we got a great starter now, but I like to think I've come a long way since then. BTM says - Yes, you have come quite far in a short period of time. You're already catching up to some of the VHLm's top goalies and you joined weeks later than most of them. What feeling does this give you? BK says - It feels good. I came into the league and told the general managers my plan. I said I know I'm late and others have a head start, but It wouldn't be a wrong decision to choose me. Especially those who are in the professional leagues as GM's rather than the juniors. I might be far behind, but I'm a guarantee. I've worked very hard and am making other players maybe take notice. I'm here to do damage and have yet to miss anything important regarding my own development. Yes, it is hard sometimes to maintain consistency, but so far so good. BTM says - Right on. You're on fire and the GM's must think you're a hot target. Speaking of which, any lady friends in Minot right now? BK says - I'm not going to deny that I have dipped the D in a couple puddles but for now, I'm focusing on the big leagues. I'm nothing right now. Juniors honestly mean nothing to me. It's my own gateway drug to the big leagues and let me tell you, I'm addicted, haha. There's also no point getting serious as I'm just going to relocate anyways. BTM say, True and fair enough. Last question as we've run out of time. Backstage we have a woman who came to us. This isn't your average show Blake. In fact, it's not overly a "Behind the Mask" episode either. We kind of tricked you as this is something totally different. Like we said, we have a woman backstage and she claims to have met you in a bar, you beat her with a phone book until she passed out you took her home, ordered pizza, watched the Mighty Ducks movies with her, fell asleep on your recliner and you both had "sleep sex" together. She woke up after you and felt something strange. She pulled a balloon out of her vagina filled with your DNA. We did the tests and guess what? YOU ARE THE FATHER of little Jamal Mathers. What are your feelings on this? BK doesn't respond. He's rushed to the hospital and medical professional believed he had a minor heart attack. He is recovering fine, will be able to play ASAP and even got a visit from his boy Jamal.

Just Checking In - Blake Campbell Update It's been officially a month since the young stud goalie who goes by the name Blake Campbell has entered the league. Since then, he has made quite the name for himself by earning and training each week consistently and to full capacity. On top of that, the young goalie has also made himself fairly week known to quite a few major and junior hockey league teams within the VHL community as it is his goal to become known and be known for only good, positive and successful reasons. As time slowly paces forward and the league is growing closer and closer to playoffs, Blake too continues on in this pattern. We know every time we write, he's all we talk about but we want to make sure you and the general managers don't make the mistake of over looking him. He had a later start than a majority of the leagues top prospects, but he's quickly catching up and putting the pressure on. So without further delay, let's take another look and give you an update on where he's at now and what you can expect based off his past and current performance. Player Development - A+ We know what you're thinking. Isn't "A+" maybe a little too much for somebody who just came into the league? The answer to that question is no and here's why. This guy came into the league on a mission and told the league what he plans to do. He stated that he's here to do business, that he wants to see himself grow into a successful, consistent goalie as fast as possible and would work extremely hard in order to do that. He has't missed a single practice since he's got here, had made a small donation to the league in order to better himself in the long run (4 double weeks instead of 3) and has been extremely consistent when it comes to completing every single task that is laid out for him to do. There's only one true question and that is: How long can he keep it up? Surely his work has been amazing up until this point but can he really continue to work at this pace? We surely hope so! Blake Campbell's development stats: Total TPE: 93 (reminder that this is a hope +12 double) How many tasks has he missed? NONE. What is he working on? Agility (70), RBC (56), Size (52), Hand Speed (45), Style Control (45) He's FINALLY got some starts and... ouch? For the longest time that he can remember, Blake Campbell was begging and pleading the Minot Gladiator's management to put him in and let him show the fans what he can bring to the table. Numerous times, admits Minot general manager Enigma, that he caught young Blake Campbell outside his window late at night with a boom box shouting the song "Centerfield" by John Fogerty. It seems like after the third time the Minot local police department took the young goalie home, his wish was finally granted. Blake currently sports a record of 5-6-4 with a fairly high goals against average of 5.22. Although his team sits outside the final playoff position 5 points back and his play hasn't been exactly amazing, he's still extremely grateful for the opportunity and only takes it as a lesson to improve himself. Blake Campbell's S41 Stats 15 GP - 5 W - 6 L - 4 OTL - 5.22 GAA - .884 SV% So, what can we expect from all of this? It's obviously still a little premature to tell whether or not he's going to become an elite goalie. For all new players, there's always a gamble and risk involved when it comes to drafting them, however, he has proven to be a very strong pick and asset for any team that decides to pick him. We expect him to continue on like this for as long as he can push himself. General managers, don't be afraid to pick this guy as soon as possible in the draft because we promise you you will regret it. Especially if you need a goalie and choose to risk it in hopes he's there the next round. We predict him to become elite! - 805 words,

He just got waived into the Minot Gladiators organization almost a month ago and has finally collected his first minor league paycheque - JUST in time for the holiday season. As most young kids would do when they get handed a decent sum of money, they went out shopping and what better way to do it then during the Boxing Day Sales! Blake Campbell definitely went out and shopped til he dropped, buying himself all new gear to go along with his Minot colours and team logo. He picked up a sweet pair of pads with the matching blocker and glove for 40% off, so how could anybody resist those deal and then managed to grab one of the slickest helmets we've seen on a Gladiators goaltender. 184 words

It must be hard to be one of the most promising up and coming goalies in the league, especially considering the TPE whore goaltender has yet to get a start in net for the Minot Gladiators. Recently, Jack Campbell had surpassed the Gladiator's inactive back up goalie and feels like he's on his way to stardom. He's currently sitting at 79 TPE and counting and has no intentions on slowing down. However,the young goalie has recently hit a small speed bump in his career, although it was not necessarily his fault. During one of his recent games, of course on the bench, the young goalie had somehow managed to pick up the flu while sitting on the bench in the opposing teams arena. I'm sure you're thinking "oh, it's just the flu" but the funny thing is how he managed to get the flu. So there you have it folks. Is this the start of a scandal? Is Brampton purposely trying to poison some of the leagues players to get an edge on their opponents? Hmm..

Rookie Under Review -- RUR -- Episode One On this episode of "Rookie Under Review", also referred to as RUR, we take a look at one of the hottest new players to hit the scene. He came into the league in pursuit to make a name for himself and to get the message out that he is on a mission to become an elite starter in the league. We're gonna get to know the guy some more and maybe even ask him some questions that his mom doesn't even know the answer to. Are you ready? Because we are! Ladies and gentlemen, Minot Gladiators new backup, Blake Campbell. When Blake Campbell's name finally got picked off free waivers a few weeks ago, he wasn't as pleased with how things went down. The young goalie came into the league a little later than the rest of his fellow junior players and had to wait under 2 days before being picked up by the Minot Gladiators. Minot had taken the goalie off the waiver market and into their organization, however, speculation around the league suggests that the reasoning Minot had chosen Campbell was because of the small complications he helped cause in the "Transaction's Media" section. It's true. The guy truly has been a class act as he continues to display a large amount of dedication and drive as he pursues his dream of becoming one of the best goalies to ever put the pads on in the VHL. As many know, lots have gone into this league with the exact same dream as Blake and you have to remember that most of them failed. So what sets Blake Campbell apart from the rest of the goalies? We can start with the fact that it's all about who you know in most professional sports. If your father played or your family friends, or something along those lines, your chances are better of making the big leagues. It's just a weird pattern that seems to be common in a lot of professional sports. Blake Campbell knows a guy who knows a guy and that guy is professional player agent from the Simulation Hockey League, Banackock. He's already led a huge player to successful start in the SHL and looks to do the same in the VHL. A great day it would be for Blake Campbell, however, since being picked by the Minot Gladiators the kid hasn't seen a single minute of play. Understandably off the start as he was behind both goalies for TPE due to his late start, however, you would think that the goalie would be rewarded for his hard work. When will the Minot Gladiators give the kid a game and see what he can do? He's worked his nuts off for the team so far so we're excited to see how things play out over the next little while here. When will this top goalie prospect get his first start? How long will the Gladiators hold him back? Stay Sharp, Playing Little.

It's been roughly 2 and some weeks since goalie Blake Campbell had entered the VHL and made himself eligible to be placed onto junior waivers. After a lengthy wait, Campbell was picked up by the Minot Gladiators as no one else was taking him. Word around the league was that they were looking to trade the young, promising goalie for extra pieces, however, he has yet to be moved since the day they picked him up. With us now is Blake Campbell to give us some brief A's to our Q's. Were you happy you went to Minot? What were your thoughts of being picked up by a team and then rumored to be involved in a trade so suddenly? Any last words? 258 words.

Awesome. I've only used 2/3 first FREE double weeks, then donated so got 2 left and now free 12 TPE. #BlakeCampbellEra #RememberThisName
