@DMaximus Thank you as well for the amazing and quick talks. @Kuba-Fleury While I didn't get to see you in action here in Miami, you'll have many more opportunities as a starter in Philly, good luck! @Sportsboy57 Very excited to bring you onto the team, can't wait to work with you

YES you crazy mothafucka! I'm so happy for you @fonziGG <3333333

Unfortunate for Beav to step down entirely but obviously if he said his VHL experience was tarnished during his step-down speech of his commish duties, this only made sense to follow. Regardless @Beaviss hell of a run, I loved playing for Vancouver and getting us that cup, though we both wish we could've got more while I was there haha. As such, since I was not considered for the most recent opening, I would like to be considered if possible for this one @Beketov. Thank you for your consideration, and @Beaviss enjoy your free time my friend, well deserved.

From 'America's Finest' to 'The Beaches of Miami'
InstantRockstar posted a topic in VHL.com Articles
Way back when, San Diego was merely a thought in the minds of the league staff until it came to fruition. I was selected as the first ever GM for the San Diego Marlins in a market that could've gone 50/50. And while people hated on the logo... a lot, the team itself has a lot of rich history. San Diego made many great players, both current and already retired, and I had one of the best experiences ever being GM there. I met not only so many returnees that made the experience amazing, but a TON of first generation players that have now become staples in the league, some of them moving on to either become a GM themselves, or even make hall of fame players like my boy @Tate. One thing however always loomed over me, and that was my burning desire and passion to be a VHL GM, and so after 10 seasons, I had thought my time was here, failed attempts prior and a lot of personal development lead me to tell myself the time was now, or potentially never if I wasn't seen fit to GM at that time. Unfortunately I put all my eggs in one basket, stepped down from the team I had built from the ground up, and I did regret it after being rejected for 3 new GM positions. So I decided to say 'to hell with it', I missed GMing and so I decided to re-apply for the VHLM. Now I am in Miami and having a blast. It's got a new set of challenges, a new team around me, a new atmosphere, and I have loved every single moment of it thus far. I will still dream of being a VHL GM one day, hopefully they will see me as worthy when it is truly my time to shine, but until then, the VHLM remains my home, and I'm okay with that -
congrats on your decision @BladeMaiden unfortunate to not get to team up with you, but glad you made a decision you'll be happy with
-
@BladeMaiden no pressure but like... DA BEARZ! this would be awesome.

23 votes? Honestly I'm honored guys and gals. Thank you

Despite just getting Miami, I'd like to apply. Was not sure there would be an opening anytime soon until this tidal wave of resignations began haha. I hope this does not hurt my chance, as I think my goal of becoming a VHL GM has been apparent for some time, and I came back to the M just simply due to being rejected for the previous two openings and wanting to be a GM again. If you need my resume or questions, please inquire

A good one lost here congrats on the tenure.

Official Yukon GM Resignation
InstantRockstar replied to MexicanCow123's topic in VHLM Team Announcements
@MexicanCow123 you have certainly come a long way, and you were amazing to have as an AGM. You will always be the OG AGM and I am proud to see the accomplishments you made throughout the league. Very unfortunate that you had to make a rough decision because I know how much you love being a GM, and most can attest that Yukon has been what it has because of you and the great work from @fromtheinside too. Great combo. -
Can't say I seen this coming. Unfortunate to hear how your experience here has dwindled and everything. I'm surprised honestly I haven't burnt out myself but thankfully I have taken breaks here and there to avoid it from happening long term. Was a pleasure playing under you as GM, obviously idk what happens there, but in respect to this resignation, congratulations on the tenure. Really unfortunate to lose a good one.
-
I can respect the mindset, 100% I do kinda feel the same way. That being said my goal *was* to get into the VHL and GM there, however after both times of unfortunately missing out on the opportunities, I couldn't resist trying to get to come back and this was the perfect opportunity to go back in. I likely wouldn't have even stepped down if I thought there was 0 possibility of me moving up, but I got proven wrong.
-
only cause you asked so nicely lamb.
-
and you with Mexico! Don't crush me too bad.
-
I apply, my background is pretty well-known in the GM world and I have nothing better to do. Yeah. DM if needed.

Calgary Wrangler GM Announcement
InstantRockstar replied to Beaviss's topic in VHL Team Announcements
said it privately but congrats @Ricer13 -
I would like to apply for this job. I believe my knowledge of what happens under the VHL "hood" from day to day will give me the experience needed for this position. I understand where the fine line needs to be drawn for hard to have conversations and I've made a fine improvement myself in improving my own character and personality, etc. I know I'll have the time since I work from home and can easily monitor the chat/pings as needed. I have worked in management and now am my own business owner, basically since I was 17 I've been in some form or role of management within Retail/Business.

@Jubis unfortunate to see you step down, I feel like your moves as of recent were gonna make Calgary huge for a long time coming. Hopefully your successor can keep up the excellent work. Take care of yourself, coming from me who knows how hard life can be sometimes, personal ALWAYS comes over virtual >>> great GMing career.
