Graphic Review thanks to my F up on one trivia question this week.
 
The color schematic is really good and the shades of blue are intense and provide a a good blend with the background.  I like the white noise that gives it a frost/snowfall effect.  The player leaning forward like he is, is a unique graphic and it gives it some life.  The logo on the chest being more perpendicular to the ice indicates that the jersey is loose and is away from the player’s body.  
 
The signature is a good font and size and supports the graphic with the shade of blue.  It doesn’t dominate the graphic but it gives it the necessary attention.  Even the stick adds to the graphic in a way that provides a complete picture.  You chose good colors to make this graphic and it demonstrates your talent.  Nicely done.
 
Score 9.5/10

It was a decent season for the rebuilding Vancouver Wolves who ended up narrowly missing the playoffs even after becoming sellers early on in the season. With a record of 28-35-9 they finished with 65 points only 3 points back of the final playoff spot in the North American Conference. Not bad for a team that had 5 rookies and only one real superstar player Liv Slater for most of the season. What the Wolves do have is numerous budding stars on the roster who all turned in strong rookie seasons and make up a great core group to build around. Logan Ninefingers, #1 draft pick in last seasons draft, led the way with 32 goals, 63 points and 242 hits, this guy is a future mvp for Vancouver. Riley Martin wasn't far behind with 29 goals, 55 points and 321 shots, he super skilled and will form a dangerous tandem offensively for years to come with Logan. Behemoth bruising defenseman Guntis Gavilrovs is going to make everyone hate playing against Vancouver with his 253 hits, 191 pims and 164 blocks to go along with 35 points, this beauty plays a mean game. Fellow rookie dman Vlad Von Carstein flashed his offense in a big way with 45 points and showed a strong two way game with 153 blocks as well, this guy can do it all.  Young goaltender Dalkr Vidarsson held the Wolves in many games this season and turned in good numbers with a .913 SV% and 25 Wins, defnitely the goalie of the future for Vancouver! Many other Wolves players contributed good seasons as well, this is just a snippet of the young core that should lead the way for years to come. Like a wolf on a fresh kill, Management is salivating over these guys potential.

Cool colours. Like the blue. Onto TikTok we go eh. 

1. Liv Slater, put up another huge year in all categories and was our best player. 
 
2. Would have to say our goalie Vidarsson, faced a ton of rubber, kept us in a lot of games and didn't always get the most help in front of him. 
 
3. Logan Ninefingers would be my pick, got hot and ended with a lot of points and tons of hits. Absolute beast. 
 
4. Assuming this is players with the most appearances in the 3 stars, I would say Slater, Ninefingers and Martin. 
 
5. MVP for sure and top dman, then probably some others as well
 
6. We need our young D to continue to improve in the defensive zone and maybe add a couple high end forwards, then stick with it for longer before becoming sellers.

Vancouver Wolves awards                                            
 
 
After a season break the most important and the only awards that matter are back!! Season 93 seen great growth and the future arrive this season in Vancouver but in the end, there was too much of a learn curve or simply a learning season for the Vancouver Wolves. Vancouver was hopeful of making the playoffs this season but in the end missed the playoff by three points; which seems closer than it really was. The Awards are a great time reflect on the past season while recognizing the players that made a difference one way or another for the Wolves this season. Enough waffling about and let’s get onto the awards, shall we?
 
 
Best Defenseman:
Vancouver Wolves started the season with five defenders with two veterans in Liv Slater @Subject056 and Jens Lekman @Bobcat, who were tasked with leading a rookie back end with new comers Vlad Von Carstein @Dom, Guntis Gavilrovs @Girts and DB IV @wcats. A quarter of the way into the season it was clear a five man system just wasn`t going to help the development of the younger defenders so out goes Jens Lekman @Bobcat to Calgary giving more minutes to the rookies and more of a opportunity so who at the end of the season was Vancouver Wolves best defender?
 
 
Unsung Hero:
Every time that I have these awards to handout you would think it would get easier and easier to determine some of them but the Unsung Hero award is one of the hardest one to give out since it is hard to define what is a unsung hero, I usually think of someone that might have gone under the radar a bit and played an important role for the team but might not get as much credit as they deserve. This season unsung hero is…..
 
 
Most Energetic:
Welcome back Vancouver after two season of a rather quiet locker room where a pin being dropped would echo throughout; this season seen the locker room come back to life in a big way with general excitement being feed off of the fans and the city with seven rookie, four veteran players arriving from other teams. General feeling that Vancouver would be a much better team and have a chance at the playoffs. While that excitement might have dropped off as it became clear that Vancouver wasn`t likely to make the playoff; it still gave the locker room and the fan bases much to cheer about; not to mention cheering for rival teams and against Calgary when it came clear that Vancouver might get extremely luck and land two lottery draft picks this season. So, who lead the charge in the locker room?
 
 
Most Valuable Player (MVP):
I can waffle on and on but I think this award is rather clear who is the team MVP this season and really has been for the past three or four season so let just pull the band aid off quickly shall we….
 
 
Rookie of the Year:
Seven rookies started the season for the Wolves and through a ton of hard fighting, blood, sweet and tears we have to award one of the seven with the Rookie of the year. Throughout the season we seen different rookies really take the rein and rather impress from Vlad Von Carstein @Dom, early hot start to the season being second in the league rookie scoring, Mikko Borisyuk @Minebro rather impressive half a point per game pace, Guntis Gavilrovs @Girts physical presence and defensive ability, Riley Martin @Smarch high shooting percentage on his way to just missing thirty goals this season and Logan Ninefingers @Scurvy turn around to finish with sixty-three points. So Who is the ROY for the Wolves?
 
 
 
Little Wolf Award (Most Hits):
 
 
Sniper Award (Shooting Percentage):
 
 
QB Award (PP Assists):
 
 
Tooth Fairy (PIM Award):
 
 
Always Responsible (Plus/Minus):
 
 
Oops Sorry Eh!! (Least Hits)
 
 
It wasn`t me!! (Least PIM):
 
 
Shoot the lights out (Most Shots):
 
 
Work Horse Award (AMG):
 
 
Common Coach (Least Played):
 
 
Bruised and Battered Award (SB):
 
 
Three Stars Award:
Ah, Poopy!! I forgot to collect the data again for the three Stars so give me a second and have a drink or two at the back of the room while I go get the data!!
 
 
Final Thoughts
Always a tough season when you believe the team should have made the playoff and as management you put a team together that you think should give the team a chance to play competitive hockey down the stretch. In the end that wasn`t the case this season but it was a huge move in the right direction giving much more hope, continued excitement as we build a contender. This off season should keep the excitement high as two more really good prospect should join the prospect pool; only making the potential of this team that much stronger. With a few holes within the roster needing to filled I would expect Frank will be active this off season trying to bring in players to help the team make another jump forward. I am also not forgetting the exciting debut of another rookie next season in Annie Oaks. It is going to make this off season once again feel like is it going to last forever since I am ready to get the new season started now!!
 
Exciting days are ahead for the Wolf Pack!!

Season Ending Awards
 
Every season at the end of a season we look back and wonder what could have been but also a time to look back and say wow, we had some great performances this season to be proud of. It is no difference this season as Vancouver Wolve are set to handout some much deserved awards later tonight (already written btw) So, have your say before the awards are officially handed out and generally pat each other on the back for a good season while thinking what we can do better next season!! Either way……Answer three questions for one TPE or all six for two TPE. As always have fun!!
 
 
1.     Who do you think was the team MVP this season? Why?
 
2.     Unsung hero is such a hard award to hand out so why don`t you tell me who you think our unsung hero was this season and why?
 
3.     With seven rookies on the team it made it feel more like a episode of survivor when trying to determine who the ROY should be for the Wolves; Who do you think is this season ROY? Why?
 
4.     Three Stars award is always interesting so without looking at the awards, who do you think won the 3 Stars award this season and why? (it might surprise you)
 
5.     Clearly Liv Slater is going to win a few awards tonight so which awards do you think she took home?
 
6.     Looking ahead to next season, What do you think the team needs to make the playoff next season?
 
 
New Season Please!!

@okochastar@Frank@Gaikoku-hito@Scurvy@Minebro@Smarch@GoalPlays@Sullvino@Subject056@Dom@wcats@Girts@KaleebtheMighty@Trepagoat@Demko@Noodle Enjoyer

1. Liv Slater for sure 
 
2. Kaleeb for sure.   He worked his ass off in net.   
 
3. Guntis.   Played a heavy game with little fanfare.   
 
4. Liv Slater
 
5. Jake Wylde
 
6. need players to keep
earning and we will be unstoppable 

1. Liv Slater. Another great year from the blueline.
 
2. The fans, for showing up in another non-playoff year. 
 
3. Ninefingers. Lead the team in rookie points after a slower start. Really took off in the second half of the season.
 
4. Ninefingers. Lots of GWG goals and multi point nights. 
 
5. Jake Wylde Trophy. 
 
6. I mean we better make the playoffs with the current roster and hopefully off-season pick ups that should be coming our way. It would be a major disappointment to miss the playoffs next year

I'm sneaking in for the press conference!
 
1. I'm going to go with Liv Slater. They were a very solid defenseman and led the team in points, plus almost dropped 30 goals.
2. I think the unsung hero for the Wolves was Dalkr Vidarsson. He didn't have too much help, but still found a way to put up a .913 and a 3.08. 
3. I'm going with Logan Ninefingers. They had 63 points in 72 games played, including a 30 goal season in their rookie season, which is very impressive.
4. I'll go with Liv Slater. I think they were the best player on the team and deserve the award.
5. I'm going to say the Jake Wylde Trophy.
6. I think just continue to build on the young core and supplement the pieces. If they do that, they could make it into the playoffs.
 
Thanks!
