S89 Seattle Bears Season Awards 41 seasons behind me and I have never once done a "seasons award" during the off-season. We're putting in a lot of work to do whatever we can to make any and every experience possible improved. S89 was a very strong season in the regular season that seen us end the regular 72 with an 11 game winning streak and coming with in immediate striking distance for the Victory Cup when it looked far out of reach before the run. We ended up losing a very tough series to New York. Shouldn't have lost but we did. It happens. At the end of the day, reflecting, we had a very great team. I knew it then and I still think it now. We had a good group and it just couldn't click when it counted. Despite this, lots of success and I'm grateful and appreciative to have shared the journey of S89 with the group we had. Thank you to all of you! ALL PLAYERS (F,D,G) REGULAR SEASON Markus Strauss Award - Most Goals Tavish DeGroot (45) @rory Hulk Hogan Award - Most Assists Randy Bobandy (71) @AJW Felix Peters Award - Most Points Award Tavish DeGroot (91) @rory Gabriel McMVPAllister Award - MVP Award Tavish DeGroot @rory James Lefevre Award - Most Penalty Minutes Elias Lampi (134) @Pifferfish Karsten Olsen Award - Most Hits Yaroslav Bogatyrev (236) @Bojovnik Heavyweight Belt - Most Fights Hulk Hogan 2 (5) @Hogan Matt Thompson Award - Most Shots Blocked Rex Wolffe Gregor (155) @oilmandan Timothy Brown Award - Most Game Winning Goals Yaroslav Bogatyrev (9) @Bojovnik Vyacheslav Smirnov Award - Top Rookie Award N/A PLAYOFFS Rayz Funk Award - Top Playoff Performer DMEN (D) Mitch Higgins Award - Top Overall D-man Scoish Velociraptor Maloish @youloser1337 Maxim Kovalchuk Award - Top Offensive D-man Scoish Velociraptor Maloish @youloser1337 Patrice Reynaud Award - Top Defensive D-man Rex Wolffe Gregor @oilmandan BONUS Spirit Bear Award - @rory The Spirit Bear award is chosen each off-season by the GM of the Bears. There could be a lot of reasons why a member might be chosen and each season an explanation will be given. It's a thank you. It's an appreciation of what you've done for Seattle or maybe through that the VHL. You're deserving! Maybe you've overcome something crazy in life or have kicked it up an extra notch in the VHL TPE earning department. It's a good award for good things that are good. So, what's the catch? The winner picks a charity of their choosing (I'd like to know why IF you're comfortable with sharing) and I will donate $10! I know it isn't much, but it's something.. and I mean, think of if I would have started this in Season 49. So, why @rory? Well, they were right when they said they were FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY during our exit press conference. Often, we do say our goodbyes to retiring or leaving players. Words were said, messages exchanged and all of that jazz, but no press conference question... Bana dropped the ball but here is the important message of the day... The ball can be picked back up. That's what we're doing here. Rory was a massive member to the Seattle locker room and displayed huge loyalty. Whether it was being shouted from the rooftops or in their own way, it worked and rubbed off on the team. Good energy, good times. They're a huge help to me in Seattle and I'm appreciative that we were able to look beyond our murky history/past, give each other a shot and it worked out. With that being said.. I asked Rory "What's a charity fund/organization that you would donate to if you could right now? and why?" Rory, thank you for your efforts and the times during Season 89. I'm sorry you weren't sent off properly like I often do in the press conference! #PressConfGate I hope this makes up for it and congratulations on being the first ever member of the Seattle Bears family to put their paw print on the Spirit Bear Award. You are very deserving. Thank you!!

That goal was so awesome too

Cheering them on right now!

Didn't mean to post over top! I was working on my post for a bit.. sorry Congrats @MetalToday @Kisslinger I was a huge fan of both players, admittedly a little more Marner. Legends in Warsaw. Congrats on the careers. Lots of fun.

Seattle Bears Jersey Retirement Hello, I hope you are all doing amazing. It's been awhile since I've done one of these so bear with me. Throughout the entirety of the Seattle Bears history, there has been some legendary players. Throughout my 41, heading into 42 seasons with the Seattle Bears family and organization, I have some some legendary players pass through the locker rooms and called Seattle their home. Certain players leave a special mark and forever become a part of Seattle history and memory. This off-season, I'm very excited to add a couple more names to this. Please take this time on congratulating the following members with me (S81) Hulk Hogan 2 After being selected 10th overall in the M drafted and 1st overall in the E draft, Hogan was eventually selected 6th overall by the Seattle Bears in the S81 VHL Entry Draft. We didn't know it then, but Hulk Hogan 2 would one day become @Hogan's second career long player with the Bears. It would also mark the second player Hogan has found strong success with in a Bears uniform and once again a Bears team that he has lifted the Continental Cup with, having won one with the Seattle Bears team in S83. Hogan has been a huge part of Seattle since he got there and I always think he will be a big part of the team in some ways. Hulk Hogan 2 is an echo from his first player on why he is one of the biggest Seattle legends of all-time! (S61) Matt Thompson They've been asking almost as long as I've been a GM. I can actually still hear it despite writing this now. "When are you going to finally do it?", @Beketov would ask almost any time it was brought up. It was always a tease. For some reason I couldn't get over the fact that it was only 360 games played in a Bears jersey, 5 seasons and then leaving in Free Agency. Did the leaving sour the taste in fans memories? Managements dreams nightmares when they look back on it? The highs were high. Thompson was one of the most explosive players I've ever GM'd in my time. They're also one of the most legendary members of all-time. I have a small project on the go for Seattle right now (it's bigger than small).. and it opened my eyes that not only is Thompson 5th for goals scored all time in much less games played than 1-4... but he's also 2nd all-time for shots and is 2nd all-time for most hat tricks (S62). Congrats to both of you.. You both have a lot of history with Seattle and this is very deserving. Thank you for your efforts during these players!

Very close and good game.. Hopefully more people create Asian.. 5th best TPE but damn did we make some noise.. Keep getting better

fuck scared me

Asia going for Bronze.... LETS GO!

S E A T T L E B E A R S S 9 0 C A P T A I N S A S S I S T A N T # 1 Logan Foley @WildfireMicro A S S I S T A N T # 2 Leandro Goncalves @leandrofg C A P T A I N Yaroslav Bogatyrev - @Bojovnik Disappointing finish to last season. We had a team that we felt could go deep, had a strong run to finish the season but then just slipped and fell against a New York Americans squad. It happens, but we're fresh and we're back. 4 players from last years roster remains. The rest are new and they've brought with them a new element to the Seattle Bears organization. We're hungry. We're alive and we're most certainly ready for the season. Happy to have these 3 as leaders and excited for this season with our current roster. We have a great group! GO BEARS GO!

Bana Blabs Down Under #88 We went and checked out the Perth Bell Tower, Perth Royal Mint, Milky Lane and the Barbie movie on Saturday! Another Blab brought to you by Talk-to-Text, an easier way to do this. Thanks, Siri. Despite your many, often simple errors. I appreciate you. S90 VHL Draft and Prospects Severus Targaryen Player Page (Bana's Player) Hello VHL. Hope things are going good for you on your side of the world.. T-minus 36 days until we leave Perth for the East coast where were gonna do some mini stops before we head home back to Canada. We're going to be stopping in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Cairns before heading home and I'm pretty excited about that! 52 days until we're back home and that's also something I'm fairly excited about. Mixed emotions. Excited for some things, not for some others and then there's definitely going to be some things I will miss about here too. For the VHL, off-season hit and it's been madness again for Seattle. Lot's of trades, drafting, signings, WJC hype and all of that. It's been pretty busy for me but it's also been a lot of fun working with everyone to make it as fun as it is. But yeah, lots happening so let's get this blabbing over with! Draft happened and my player, Severus Targaryen, was selected by the Seattle Bears at 11th overall. I was so close to clicking the button on someone else... it was soooooo close.. and they would have been happy in Seattle and been a legend.. but Targaryen is 100%... nothing else really is. It's the safest bet for anything and everything and it's in a position that holds a lot more value when it comes to activity, build, loyalty etc... We also managed to select @zepheter which I'm 10/10 excited about. They're going to be a huge presence on the Bears blue line for seasons to come. @Jaja Dingdong @Jayrad28 @Hockeywizard676 round out Seattle's draft and overall, not bad.. Happy moving forward. I think there's some work we could do here.. some potential.. @Jaja Dingdong accepted their contract before even @zepheter... SO GG !!! Now let's get you doing other kinds of tasks! They will help you earn more TPE, don't take too much time and you'll be better.. faster too... so it's more fun! Trivia on the portal is fun too. You can guess and have 25% odds! Seattle has made a lot of trades and we once again look like a completely new team this season.. Boga, Maloish, Gregor, Bobandy @Bojovnik @youloser1337 @oilmandan @AJW are the only players remaining from last seasons roster. Tons of new faces and absolute crazy trades were made to bring in elite talent like @Rhynex Entertainment, @leandrofg @DMaximus @Webberj @WildfireMicro... Amazing off-season. The group has shown good potential in the LR.. once the season starts going, it's going to be great... We need to find one more piece. We have something lined up.. also something back up just incase.. Happy, happy, Happy.. Go Bears Go! World Juniors are happening and it's been a lot of fun so far! Managers have been a good group and Team Asia has surprisingly done some good! They're currently battling it out for a Bronze medal.. which is a lot more than most were probably thinking.. Overall I think they're ranked 5/5 (last) for TPE and I think the drop between 4->5 and 5->6 are pretty decent too. Overall though, massive success. @Zetterberg has been an amazing presence as leader and is always there to help. @N0HBDY has done well simulating and the hype and activity has been okay I suppose! ASIA, ASIA, ASIA. Excited for the week ahead... What's coming up for the league? VHLE Draft just happened.. so VHLM draft? Then just league prep I think? Good stuff. Take care league!
