1. It's always interesting to see how different sites do things, and as someone who updates on other sites I've been jealous of your update system for a while now. 2. I don't know about recruiting, per se, but perhaps having someone do shout outs and tags when people have particularly big games might help with retention a little bit. As a new player I don't have the history with the site to know who anyone is, so without commentary it makes it tough to feel too connected to the game threads as a newbie. 3. Were you surprised that the Saskatoon Wild disposed of the Ottawa Lynx so easily in the VHLM Founder's Cup Finals? Not really. I think things broke nicely for Saskatoon. I think seeing their toughest competition go out early was a wake up call and nobody wants to end up on the wrong end of a Cinderella story. 4. Do you think the Calgary Wranglers have what it takes to complete the comeback over the Riga Reign in the VHL Continental Cup Finals? A bit late to answering this one, but let me put it this way: there's usually a reason you were ever behind in the first place. Call me a pessimist, but it's true. 5. Any VHL team you'd prefer to be selected by in the next VHL Entry Draft? It's a bit early to say, I think. I just want to play somewhere that really cares about player development. You can't always win, but you can always keep your head up so long as you're working hard and improving. 6. What are your objectives for next season? At this point I'm still concentrating on the basics like improving my skating and overall fitness. I'm a lanky guy and the coaches rightly got on me for not staying low enough when I'm tired.

1) Not to take the easy way out, but Sven Hitz is in position to sneak in there if he wants it badly enough. 2) The coaches seem to feel that I'm still a bit unpolished and I intend to get as much experience under my belt as I can. 3) When it comes to hockey you always have to gravitate towards Canada. 4) Maybe a "what you wish you knew as a newbie" point task where new guys think out loud and ask questions while old hands can riff on what they've learned about finding success here. 5) I'm too new here to go into specifics, but with sim leagues you should keep in mind that it's often how you finish rather than how you start. Optimizing your draft year earnings or whatever is fine if you're into that but if you keep inventing ways to turn this league from being a hobby into being a chore then you're liable to burn out and fade away. 6) Sure, why not? The only downside is that it's more work that I personally won't have to do. On a more serious note, I don't expect to be making all-star teams in the short term. I'm still feeling my way here, after all.

Can also be a Longhorn if you're not a filthy frontrunner. Also, we block the shit out of people, which is fun.

Yep, I run the Louisville Cardinals and I'm also active in the EFL. It looks like I'll have to rejigger my old habits back to doing 6 point tasks again. Lately I've been kinda slacking and relying on league jobs and smaller tasks to get me through due to time constraints but IRL will calm down soon enough. Besides, with 3 sports to pick from I'll at least be able to break out of rut I get into when writing about how the tall men score the buckets for the home team.

In an unexpected move multi-sport athlete Bolt Vanderhuge has reportedly been tendered a contract offer by the Oslo Storm of the Victory Hockey League's minors program. The 16 year old defenseman is a somewhat surprising pick but team scouts felt that it was worth taking a flier on the young man due to his large frame, solid passing vision and willingness to stick his nose in as a shot blocker. While physically gifted Vanderhuge is a child of South African expatriates and his parents originally considered his interest in the sport to be merely youthful curiosity and initially pushed him towards figure skating instead due to concussion concerns. Eventually his talent and persistence got his foot in the door, however, and while still somewhat raw due to the relatively late start he distinguished himself in youth leagues and many scouts believe he could be develop into a real asset now that he is being exposed to a world-class coaching environment.
