off the rails

Jesus Christ Bokan is terrible.

I read some guides and I think I far improved from my previous one. Still a long way to go

The Ottawa Lynx have climbed to the peak of the VHLM North American conference, just behind the virtually unbeatable Yukon Rush. For this to happen, a team would have to fall mightily. And that's precisely what Lights Bokan and the Saskatoon Wild. The team is a strange case indeed. They went from under dogs who created the ultimate feel good story and claimed their place as second in the VHLM and were even clawing at Yukon's toes. However, the fans and analysts were right, it was just a fluke. Or was it? Wild Captain and promising defense woman Lights Bokan tends to disagree greatly with that opinion. "We're going through a rough patch, this is not a surprise to anyone. We're a young and up and coming team and we got a lot to learn," Lights said to a cluster of reporters, "We're still going to work our asses off each and every day 'til the bitter end." Bokan was over looked by many General Managers. She was tiny and light at 5'5", 110lbs with little muscles to her advantage. She was also older than most draftees, at the age of 27. There were many questions about her commitment and attitude. However, when most teams saw a risky pick, Saskatoon General Manager Brett Slobodzian saw tons of potential, leadership, and energy that the Wild desperately wanted and even needed. He may of got more than he intended to, but he can't really complain. The 15th overall pick ended up being Saskatoon's captain (a role Lights takes very seriously), a fantastic offensive defense woman and an inconsistent player. One game she'll be among the elite players in the VHLM and the next game she'll look like a deer in headlights. The Saskatoon Wild have followed their captain into dismay and they struggle to find the groove they had at the start of the season. Even the unbelievable good play by should be Captain SSK NICK CANNON hasn't resulted in many wins. CANNON has been a monster for the Wild and straps the team up for the ride most nights, with 8 goals, 12 assists, 20 points and 19 hits in just 20 games and is currently ranked as the #1 prospect in all the VHLM. #CANNONFORCAPTAIN was trending all over Canada on Twitter due to Wild fan's growing frustration, or at least we hope that is what the trend is referring to. "We can't expect the fans to back us up when we're shit, we can't expect anyone to support us," Lights said, "We don't want fake support nor your pity, we want to win and will go to extreme measures to make it happen." It's hard to pin point one thing as to why the Wild have been losing as they have not done anything fantastic in all honesty but defense have been struggling greatly. They can score at well, but have trouble defending which is strange considering their combination of defensive defensemen and power forwards or two way forwards. It's all about effort though and that's something the Wild don't have enough of. Because hope alone won't save them. 522 words 2938 characters

Not a bad game for us actually, we just couldn't pull it out.

I have SimonT on my PC and I would like to apply. I will be able to do it every week with ease because my work schedule has finally calmed down and exams are all but over.

Can I get graded?

'Attempted'? What's that supposed to mean?!

SASKATOON WILD CHANGE MARKETING CAMPAIGN Saskatoon, SK - Only in the VHLM would a team well below .500 make the playoffs. Only in the VHLM North American Conference would a team with a 17-50-5 record make the playoffs. Such was the case for the Saskatoon Wild. North American power house Yukon Rush had a fun time bullying the little North American teams and pretty simply, was a point bank for them. And the playoffs were all shits and giggles for Yukon when they played the Wild. No more will the Wild be humiliated, and with former bottom feeders such as Brampton looking a lot better this year and Yukon fucking over Ottawa once again, the North American conference looks a lot better and it seems as if the Wild are the odd one out - Saskatoon (the management, players and fans alike) laugh at that. Saskatoon has launched a new advertising campaign in hopes of it selling more tickets. So, when the fans enter the newly built arena in downtown Saskatoon, they'll be greeted by big neon lights spelling out: Welcome to the Jungle, motherfuckers.

if it was that way, we'd all be experienced though honestly.

the title feeds the imagination. my first time ever make a signature, so play nice.

QUAD CITY- With the Central Hockey League finally coming to a close, VHLM prospect Lights Bokan was finally allowed to leave Quad City and pack up. The CHL's Quad City Mallards made it all the way to the finals before falling in a six game series to the reigning champions, the Allen Americans. However, Bokan took her game to a whole new level in the playoffs and proved she is a big game player. She went from being a scratched defense women to the Mallard's leading scorer and the league's top blue liner. "I love big moments," Lights states the obvious, "I live for these moments. You're on the grind all season and you finally get the chance to play a game that feels important. It's sure nice, and I hope next year my VHLM team will be in the playoffs." 'Mrs. Playoffs' is totally over it though, and looks to lead a team to the Championships this time next season. 161 words 855 characters

VHL.COM TIMMINS, ON - After many over lapping rumors, it seems as if Timmins native and minor league hockey player Lights Bokan has officially been declared eligible for the up coming VHLM Draft. Lights confirmed it when being asked, "After playing in the Central Hockey League for a season and being scratched most nights, you better believe I'm ready for a higher level of hockey." The twenty seven year old 'playa' has bounced around the East Coast Hockey League until failing to make the Reading Royals. Lights found a home in Quad City and played for the Central Hockey League, but saw very little playing time and had an unimpressive year. Frustration levels were very high and there was a lot of tension for the Bokan family because of constant threats by the coach of being cut off the team and basically leave Lights with no way of making money and supporting her child and her husband, Beau Bokan. "I have to put it behind me," Lights says "I'm ready for the VHLM. But is the VHLM ready for me?" 180 words 993 characters

Lights Bokan is here to join us today at Team 1200, Ottawa's top sports radio station and we currently have her in studio. At twenty-seven, Lights got her big break when she was presented the opportunity to be a future VHLM player, and possibly live out her child hood dreams of being a Victory Hockey League star. The offensive defense women is often criticized for her lack of defensive skills and her very measly size, she stands at just five foot foot and weights just over 110lbs. However,she fought through the hate and adversity, even after being an early cut from the East Coast Hockey League's Reading Royals and even a healthy scratch for the Central Hockey League's Quad City Mallards. For the next half hour, we're going to talk to Light and ask her some questions regarding her future and some of her past. John Rodenburg: First off, we want to thank you for joining us today. We know you're very busy prepping for the draft. Tell us what it's like and what is going through your head. Lights Bokan: Excitement. I live for these moments honestly. A bit of nerves of course, but I take that as a good sign. A little nerves motivate you. Or at least, they motivate me! Steve Warne: You say nerves motivate you, and you certainly had a lot of doubters in the past. Explain to us how you overcame the negatively. LB: Meh, it doesn't bother me very much. I just think 'another reason to prove everyone wrong' but I try and block it out anyway. JR: Does it sometimes feel surreal you're here? About to be drafted into the Victory Hockey League and all that? LB: For sure. I look at all the fans and fancy analyzes ready to crack you open, and I sometimes sit down and think, 'I'm just Lights... I'm not an all star, I'm a girl from a small town in Ontario who had a few dreams and chose to chase them before they left me. SW: It certainly was a long, hard road for you. You get cut from the Reading Royals and you have two options pretty much - take a contract with the Central Hockey League's Quad City Mallards or head back home and try to survive. What's your thought process? LB: My husband, Beau Bokan, wanted me desperately to come back home. He is an aspiring rock artist and he wants us to be a real family and figure something out. I wanted the same, I really did, but then I received a phone call from the Quad City Mallards saying I was offered a spot on the team. I jumped to the chance. I didn't think much what it would mean for my family and I. I acted out of impulsive, I tend to do that. JR: Does your husband tell you that? LB: All the time. (Lights laughs a little bit remembering her husband and family, warning her to quit being so wild and gutsy.) JR: So, do you have any preference for VHLM teams? The Ottawa Lynx maybe?! LB: I can't say I do! I would like to stay in North America because of family and all that, and even better, I would love to stay in Canada, but if that's not fate, it won't happen. I'm open to playing anywhere and don't demand trades because of an noncompetitive team. SW: Lastly, if you could compare yourself to any current National Hockey League player, who would it be and why? What strengths do you share with such player and what weaknesses do you share? LB: Erik Karlsson, hands down. He can make some pretty bone headed plays, I know because I'm a Sens fan, but he also brings speed and skill and is able to be decent defensively. Stepping up in big moments is something we both do well. JR: It seems as if our time is all out! Thanks for chatting with us, Lights. We ​appreciate your time! LB: Thanks boys! Take it easy! (hangs up) SW: Next up, Jack Carter, the writer of 'Why the Lynx Suck and How they can be Fixed' will join us and discuss the up coming season for the uh, struggling Ottawa Lynx. Stay tuned! 712 words

PICTURES WERE NOT WORKING 'You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community.' CAMERON GREENING Personal Information Birthday: March 11th, 1990 (23 years old) Hometown: Ottawa, Ontario (Canadian) Height: 6'4" (76 inches) Weight: 211lbs NHL Comparison: Mark Messier Babyhood On March 15th, 1991 (one year and four day after Cameron's birth), the Greening family invited a screaming toddler in a blue blanket into their home. One year and four days earlier, he was born to an anonymous mother and left on doorsteps to an adoption center just north of Ottawa. None of the nuns knew where he was from (hell, he could of been from the United States of America or France for all they knew) or why he was there. He was named Caleb, which was meant 'full-of-heart' (not a typo, that's the translated version) in Latin. The baby just didn't blend well with the foster home. He'd cry in the church, spit at the care takers and couldn't be taken out on filed trips. He was labelled as a high risk child and thus, no one would adopt him. Until a family from Newfoundland came around. Fred Greening, his wife Maria Greening, and their only son Colin Greening instantly fell in love with the manic child. Colin wasn't exactly sane as a child and Caleb would fit in well. They took Caleb to their house on Kikenny Street in St. John's and the rest is history. Their cousin was named Caleb and lived a few doors down, so to minimize confusion, he was re-named 'Cameron Greening'. Childhood "Stay still, Cameron!" Colin yelled, "Just a few more shots!" That was the normal site on the Greening driveway. Colin would set up his net and tell Cameron to stand in it and block the shots, and Colin would blast them over and over again. This system worked out well for Colin at first, until Cameron got a black eye and blood started dripping out of his mouth while Colin was practicing his slap shot. Yeah, that put an end to Cameron's short lived goal tending career. When it was snowing, the boys would be dropped off at the local outdoor rink and skate for hours. Cameron would fall over a lot in the middle of the ice and Colin wouldn't help, so one of the locals took turns picking him up. In the summer, the whole neighbor would play a grand game of street hockey. The whole city was nuts about hockey, but especially the two Greening boys. Colin cheered for Toronto Maple Leafs like he has been his whole life, but Cameron being younger, cheered for the new franchise that were called the Ottawa Senators. Colin would wear his prized Wendel Clark jersey everywhere (even to sleep) and Cameron just turned his shirt inside out and wore "OTTAWA SENNTORS". He wore Senators wrong, but he didn't care. Teen Years Cameron started playing organized hockey at the age of 9, and was the Star Player of the Atom 'A' St. John's Caps. Granted, he spend more time in the box than any other kid because of his feisty personality but his scoring skills and fantastic back checking made up for it. The team won the Provincials for Newfoundland and Cameron quickly became the talk of the town. As Cameron matured, he had a big ego and a huge head. He'd get in trouble at school for the craziest thing (stray painting a wall with the words 'LEAFS SUCK') and would stay out of the house and hang out with his 'friends' all night. By first year bantam, he robbed candy bars from five different corner stores and only got caught once. Despite being a menace to society, his talent couldn't be overlooked. In the middle of Bantam, he was forced to play Midget 'AAA' because the team was receiving too many complaints about how unfair it was. Around this time, Colin left Newfoundland and his brother for British Columbia to play Junior 'A'. Two weeks later, Cameron's life changed forever. One night, someone took it a little too far... Sirens, a pounding head and police yelling at him to get down. Cameron cried his eyes out. He was a burden on the Greening family after he left (for real this time) for Juvenile Hall. He stayed in there for the two worse months of his life, but he learned a lot. His 'friends'? They ditched when they heard the sirens. His mom nagging him to calm down and take it easy... she wasn't being annoying, she was scared straight that something might happen. He came out of the Hall as a better man, refreshed man. But the scholarships were gone. His team suspended him. Cameron never made a backup plan if hockey didn't work out, so he wasn't prepared to go cold turkey. Escape to the VHL "I'm sick of your bitching, I heard the Victory Hockey League is recruiting, why don't you go there?!" Cameron responded, "I'll pick you up on that offer, Colin." It was a fresh start, no one knew about the troubles Cameron went through. Everyone was welcoming to the stranger, and Cameron didn't plan on changing that. At last... a new (and last) chance! Cons - Passing : Cameron was born that way. He is selfish and it's good he doesn't pass, because his passes are always terribly off target from never practicing. - Discipline : Cameron is a hot head and has a tendency to take bad penalties. This is also connected to his attitude. - Fighting : Cameron talks a lot of shit, but is never willing to back it up with his fists. He fights like a three year old. Pros - Scoring : Cameron has a knack for scoring. Behind the net, in front of the net, deflections, right side, left side, rebounds... score, score, score is what his brain is hardwired to do. - Defense : Cameron back checks like a manic. As a child, he had so much leverage, it was natural to play good defense and it just stuck with him. - Leadership: Yeah, Cameron is a dick but he demands the most out of his players. He doesn't accept anything but the best effort out of himself and his players. 1034 words 6318 characters
