Sheesh, I’ll apply. I had fun being AGM with Minnesota in S65 and pretty much drafting the entire team and setting up most things because the GM disappeared for a while during the season.
 
Maybe I’ll actually stay active being GM 🤷🏻‍♂️

Oh rip, I was (still am) at work.

1. With a 42-17-4 record, we've been knocked down to 3rd overall in the VHLM. What do you think we need to do to get up to that top spot?
I think the trade we just made might bring us back at the top. Everyone is good and we're bringing in one of the top d-men, we just need to get better than good and we'll get the Cup.
 
2. We've recently acquired defenseman Ben Aky from the Ottawa Lynx. What are your thoughts on the trade?
Might be tough on the future of the team, but we're all-in for this year, if we can win the Cup, we gucci.
 
3. If you look at the top 10 in points in the VHLM, there are no Mexico players there, yet we are 3rd overall. Are superstar players overrated?
Not overrated, but a team is better than a superstar. Multiple players that believe in each other is better than a superstar surrounded by... nothing.
 
4. What do you think is the leading factor in Sunrise having 44 goals on the season so far, one of the tops in the league?
He's an absolute machine, isn't he? He's got an insane shot, but he really knows how to make defenders forget him, be open and make it easy for us to set him up.
 
5. Mexico players Dookie Headtop and Deagun Rust are both in the top 10 in PIM. Do you think they are much of a liability out there, or are they just standing up for the team?
Depends on the situation, really. Taking a dumb penalty late game in a one goal game is less than ideal, but defending their teammates, it's always okay. It would be better to play even-strength, for sure, so maybe they should tone it down for the playoff run.
 
6. Bastian Greiss has an 89.8% in saves. Do you think he makes it to 90% by season's end?
He definitely can. Our defense just got better, so that'll help even more if we can give away less dangerous shots.

@DollarAndADream

1. What league do you think you'll be playing in next season?
VHLM, most likely. I don't think I'm ready for the VHLE yet, maybe the season after.
 
2. Is your player in any offseason tournaments?
I don't think so? I literally have no idea.
 
3. Honest question, do you think the VHLE will be a success?
Maybe? I've seen things work and fail on here, so it could go either way. It sounds fun, though. Europe is a big part of IRL hockey between juniors and NHL.
 
4. What is your favorite flavor of wings? (Buffalo, Terriyaki, etc.)
Buffalo, I guess. But Teriyaki kinda goated too.
 
5. Who do you think has the best VHLE logo?
Vasteras forever and always.
 
6. Are you going to do any travelling now that covid restrictions are loosening up?
Nope.

1. Were you happy with your individual playoff performance?
No, didn't do anything and we got swept. Nothing to be happy about.
 
2. It's been up for debate, but what animal you think the Wild logo actually is?
Uh.. a.. uh.. I don't know, a bobcat?
 
3. Who do you predict will win the Founder's Cup?
I'm just gonna ignore this question and the next since you know, I'm answering these after the Cup has been won, if I can even do that.
 
4. Which VHLM player will be the playoff MVP?
Oops.
 
5. Research question: does anyone use the weekly press conference link in our forum locker room?
I did for the last two times, but not this one, obviously.
 
6. What is your favourite holiday?
Christmas, 100%. Not even a question.

1. What are your thoughts on how our season went?
I just joined, so I don't know about the whole season, but we finished strong even though we didn't get the ending we wished for.
 
2. We are currently down 2-0 in the first round. What is something that could motivate the team?
Well, we already lost, sooooooo.
 
3. Did you meet any personal goals you had this season?
Not really, I'm just getting started. Getting my first goal and point was pretty much the only thing I could've done on a personal-level.
 
4. What are you looking forward to in the offseason?
Knowing my next destination, whether I'm staying in Saskatoon or being drafted elsewhere.
 
5. What sports do you play in real life?
I played hockey and baseball. Not much right now.
 
6. Have you joined the VHL Minecraft Server yet? I was playing a bit earlier.
No, but I will. I've been bugging my friends to start one, but I'm the only nerd that wants to play.

ARTHUR KIMURA | 5'7'', 165 LBS | RIGHT WING | JAPAN

Goals. That's what Arthur Kimura has been doing his entire career up to this point. Arthur discovered the sport of hockey through watching highlights of Alexander Ovechkin on Youtube and that's when he decided that this is what he wanted to do for a living. Coming from a family invested in puroresu, Arthur decided not to lace wrestling boots like his mother and sister, but to lace ice skates instead. He enrolled at a high school with a hockey team and while it was difficult for him to make the team during his first year, as he was still learning the sport, it wasn't long until he became a goal scoring legend at his school, owning every goal and point records the school had at that point.

It was after leaving high school where things got complicated for the talented right winger. His smaller stature and playing in Japan didn't give him the opportunities he wish he could've had. He never made it after every try-out possible to make Team Asia's U18 team. Yes, he could score goals like nobody else, but his low hockey IQ and, once again, his smaller build didn't convince the general manager to make him a spot on his team. During this time, as he couldn't find places to play competitive hockey, he did get trained by his mother and participated in a few wrestling shows, as well. He even got offered a Young Boy contract in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, whic he politely declined to pursue his hockey dream.

This is where he decided to not only focus on the goals part of hockey, but on every part of hockey. He started working way harder on his puck-handling and his skating, he filmed himself every game or practice and uploaded all these clips to his Youtube and his Tik Tok where he went semi-viral in the hockey community and a few offers started trickling in. At 19 years of age, no Junior team was interested in his service, but he did get some offers from colleges. Merrimack, Montclair State, nothing major except one, he managed to get the attention of the Wisconsin Badgers. An offer he couldn't refuse.

In his career with the Badgers, he never really became an impact player, he was what he always was, a goal scorer, but all the cons about his game only made him a 3rd line powerplay specialist at Wisconsin. He never won a National title, he never became the star he wanted to be at the university and he ended up playing until he finished his degree at 24 years old.

But just like Wisconsin, he somehow managed to get the attention of one professionnal team, the VHLM's Saskatoon Wild. The only offer he got from any professional team. He made a promess to himself and his family that this is it, this is his moment, he doesn't want to go back to Japan and wrestle like the rest of his family. He wants a Continental Cup more than the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship. Whether he has to go through all the VHLM teams or he has to go through VHL Europe, he is now betting on himself to make it to the VHL, make it as a star in the league and help his future team(s) win the Cup. Nothing less.

A female pro wrestler across the inside of my entire forearm. Tattoo is inspired by a wrestler who passed away last year at 22 years old (the last name of my current player, as well), but it's just like a generic unknown woman, didn't use her likeness, because I felt it would've been weird. Only a couple parts of her wrestling gear are in my tattoo.

1. Today is the trade deadline and we completely revamped the defense. Do you think our newfound depth will be important moving forward?
Depth is always good to have, gives the top guys a break, less responsabilities and more energy.  
2. About 17 people created players so far today. Your thoughts?
All scrubs, to be honest. Except the ones that signed with us.  
3. Do any of you plan to spend time in the VHLE if given the opportunity?
I have no idea what the VHLE is, not gonna lie.  
4. Who wins the series between the Canadiens and Golden Knights?
Hopefully Montreal.  
5. We need just 3 points to clinch a playoff spot. Do you think this roster has championship potential?
We'll see what happens during the final stretch of the season, what the new additions can do.  
6. What did you do over the weekend?
Nothing at all, but I got a tattoo yesterday.

Boy, but also thanks for my next player name. Simpy Weeb.
