Viper

This one's not as aggressively metal as the other ones I usually post. Got a bit of funk going on, check it out!
 
We're starting a new VHL season, huzzah. If we followed the traditional VHL off-season schedule, we wouldn't have had the index made until today and sims until Wednesday. I blame the expedited scheduling following an early week playoff end for why VHFL sign-ups and the groups went up so late. But realistically, I just forgot with everything else that happens in the offseason along with a week-long work trip. Got to hang out at Gillette Stadium and wear some Super Bowl rings:

 
At least I got to wear the championship rings that matter, since I'll never win here in the VHL. We'll see how this season goes, hopes are high as usual, but it feels a bit better than the last few seasons. Maybe it's the high following 3 players combining for 9 awards, or a massive trade over the offseason that brought in some great folks, or even just the promotion of long-time infamous IA member @Viper to the team. Lot of things went well this offseason, and the season start has been pretty neat to see as well. We'll see how long it lasts.
 
Nico's been fitting in well with Vancouver during this second stint. The team is buzzing, 6 players over a PPG so far through 5 games. Everyone's really clicking together which is great to see compared to the S86-ish time when it seemed like we just weren't gelling together. @STZ might have been the steal of my Super Coach team, already with 5 goals to start the season. Keep it up kid, and get me more hits.

Welcome to the new season of VHFL, and apologies for the delay. Due to work travels and a delayed sign-up post, we will begin VHFL simultaneously with the VHL season. Below is the randomly assigned draft order for your group. 

The draft is conducted in a snake order, meaning that each round goes in reverse order of the last. There is a time limit of 12 hours per pick. If the person ahead of you has not picked in their 12-hour slot, you may make your selection, and they can make up their pick anytime after the skip. If a member misses two picks without communicating to me or the GM - not necessarily consecutive, they will be disqualified and the team will be drafted by me or a filler I appoint. If someone has two picks in a row and fails to do the first one before 12 hours pass, tag them and give them another 12 hours for the second pick in a row. Once you have made your selection, tag the person following you. 

Group Manager: It is your responsibility to make sure that picks are being made within 12 hours, and if not, that the clock keeps going for the next pick. Please also have a complete roster within the first few posts of the thread - this saves me time later so that you get your results faster! Please also be sure of each player’s position, and that they are not retired nor in the VHLM before adding them to your roster! When maintaining the updated roster, please copy the roster template below, exactly how it is. Make sure to also spell player names properly when updating your group. Do NOT copy the roster for every single pick.

Here are some useful links:
VHFL Rules
S88 VHFL Top Skaters
S88 VHFL Top Goalies

If there are any issues, tag the group manager or me. The draft is now live - good luck! Tag me when all the rosters are complete!

Well hello, it's me again. Usually I'd scale down the giant grumpy Menace man but I'm doing this on my phone so you get the giant face today. It's always a thrill to announce our leadership group, especially after a season when some of our team leaders stepped up their game to a new level and won multiple VHL awards. @BOOM snapped out of his award drought and collected the top Offensive and Overall defenseman awards. Team AGM @Brandon secured the Goal Leader and Most Improved awards. And our captain @Arce locked down the Points Leader and Most Outstanding Player award. We're extremely proud of our leaders, and look forward to seeing what this next season's leaders can accomplish on the ice.
 
First Alternate - Hammar Voss - @BOOM
 
Three seasons with the "A" was all Voss needed to secure his recognition, so he's certainly earned his fourth consecutive season. The votes in S87 were close, and Voss fell just short of some covered hardware. In S88, the superstar eliminated any doubt that he is the best defenseman in the VHL. His constant desire to exceed and be a fantastic LR member makes our team a better place for competition and good times. We're very excited to have Voss finish out his career here in Moscow and hope to make this season the best one yet.
 
Second Alternate - Tomas Sogaard - @Brandon
 
Typically I decline to name the team's AGM as a formal member of leadership group, but after a tremendous individual season and a lot of roster turnover this offseason, it's simply a no-brainer to have the currently longest tenured Moscow player be named as an alternate captain. Since he was drafted in S83, Sogaard has been a flexible player who complements anyone on the team. His leadership and experience is extremely appreciated.
 
Captain - Ronan Lavelle - @Arce
 
I truly wonder how many players have been named as captain on different VHL teams. A former captain for D.C.'s cup run a few seasons ago, Lavelle is simply the best choice to be our captain this season. His energy is infectious and he's one of the most vocal leaders on the team. After a massive MOP and Points Leader season in S88, Arce still only talks about getting Moscow that elusive Continental Cup. We're very fortunate to have him on our team, and I'm looking forward to the season ahead!
 
Congrats to all named to the leadership team!

INDEX
 
@VHLM GM To send in your lines please use the Team Management section of the portal, if you have manual requests due to waiver pick ups or other roster changes please PM me your notes. For this first set if there any any issues in your rosters please let me know as soon as possible so I can correct them before the first sim Friday. I made sure all rosters can be at least valid so we should have no problems there but if you're missing any players, if any players are the wrong position, or anything else I need to know. A reminder that the portal and the sim are different entities so having someone on your roster portal wise does not guarantee they will be in your roster sim wise. I have to add them manually so please be as clear as possible with any requests. Last bit of house keeping is a reminder that your lines should not be renamed in any way from the default. Changing the name at all will make the auto-load lines function skip your lines and I'm not likely to notice so please be sure they are simply named after your team as is the default.
 
Also like the last few seasons the farm system is on since it needs to be on all season or not at all. While the Junior system is not in use games will still be simmed (they are done at the same time) but they won't be posted. If we click Juniors over to being active (which has yet to happen) we'll get games posted for it as well. You guys will be in charge of your junior lines as well as your pro lines when the time comes to turn it on so make sure you remember that.
 
I cannot promise you a specific time for games, although 6:45PM EST is most likely; whenever games do run they will be live at the link below. I can't promise you they will be very entertaining; in fact I can almost guarantee that they won't be. However in an effort to be more transparent with our simming you will all be able to watch me click buttons in all it's glory. I will do my best to put a message on discord whenever I go live and you can use the #roles channel to subscribe to the notifications so you won't miss when sims are going live. I also suggest downloading the VHL App which will allow you to receive push notifications when games are posted.
 
 
Good luck to everyone this season and let's have another good one!  

I've done the M and E so far, still thinking some things through. I guess this will update whenever I add the VHL counts too.

Make the E four teams that battle until the death. Send inactives to the shadow realm..

We know.

@dylanjj37

The E was a bandaid solution to the influx of users the league housed during covid.  We no longer have this issue.  I'd like to see TPE caps and salary caps adjusted in the VHLM/VHL rather than this awkward middle league, from what I am seeing the M commies have been killing it so far so I don't think this is out of reach to get fixed up... Delete the E and expand the M...?

MUFF!

@VHLM GM

Nominated for an award but received no votes. Must be how the Green Party feels running in Alberta

We know.

I've made it clear to a few gms who've reached out that, while I don't really understand how the systems work, I'm fully intending to forgo the VHLE if possible. I don't necessarily have any grudge against the league (even though my first time was pretty meh), I just see zero point to it whatsoever. Why should I care about playing in it? Why should the GMs care? Why should anyone? The whole point of it is to hold the stragglers for a bit before they make it to the VHL and to house the barely actives. Neither of which breeds a competitive environment.
 
Its easy to tell people to care but there aren't really any reasons to pay any attention. I don't have enough knowledge to give out quality ideas but I hope that some are in the works. Idk, fuck around and make the vhl/vhle a promotion league or make the vhle playoffs a double elim or march madness style. Something to make it interesting.

S1 - Founder's Cup
S15 - Ken Holland / Jack Reilly Trophy - first awarded in S15
 
* - VHLM teams were directly affiliated to the VHL (scroll to bottom of thread) until the end of S19 so sometimes VHL GMs covered both teams. The VHLM GM at the time always had to be part of the VHL organisation.
** - Information was particularly vague until around S10, and really not great until Fong became commissioner in S18.

Yeah I'm coming back, I aim to be moderately active from now until September. I don't remember when I stopped coming to the forum and the discord, I think it was around late 2022. I had a lot going on with school and hockey, and I couldn't fit anything else in. My life's gotten kinda crazy - I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in April, which was obviously a huge lifestyle change for me. Luckily I have a great team at my hospital and my family and friends have been awesome, so I got back on my feet and started playing hockey again about a week and a half after the diagnosis. The biggest change was my weight. Throughout early 2023, despite eating huge meals and building tons of muscle, I had trouble staying above 130 lbs. One of the symptoms that tipped me off about my diabetes was that the day before I went to the hospital, I was 118 lbs. After I started to get better, I skyrocketed to 145 lbs, and I'm closing in on 150 now, with 160 being the goal by the end of the summer. Just 2 weeks after my diagnosis, I went on a trip with my hockey team to Sweden and Finland, which was absolutely incredible. We got absolutely whacked by the local teams, but it was an unforgettable experience, and it made us want to live in Stockholm (that is still my plan). After I got back, I went to my first Junior A camp and was cut, but it was also a fantastic experience and gave me a sense of what I'm working toward. I'm looking forward to an eventful summer with my first job, relentless training, and back to having fun with the VHL.
 
Side note: After some deliberation where I considered recreating, I decided to stick with Cobalt Burns until he retires. I feel like I owe it to the teams that I went inactive on, and recreating feels like quitting. I do plan on testing free agency this offseason, and finding a team where Burns can flourish. My goal is to be a max earner for most of the summer. 
 
Cheers, and looking forward to interacting with all of you once again!
