New week, new questions- answer these 6 questions in this thread to be eligible for 2 capped TPE this week. 1) The VHLM has officially announced expansion, with the new teams seeing action as early as next season! What are your thoughts on the teams they unveiled, or expansion as a whole? Pretty cool. I like the idea of expansion, as it opens up spots for more players. 2) If you were the GM for a new expansion team, what would be the first order of business? Build a solid team of young and active players or trade for a proven VHLM Star. 3) Four teams have now clinched, and two are fighting for the last available playoff spot. Who takes it, Saskatoon or Yukon? Saskatoon. They’ve consistently looked better than Yukon and deserve the last spot. 4) Which VHL team has the best logo/design to you? Why? Ottawa. The design is so clean and the color palette meshes well. 5) When you leave the VHLM to play in the VHL, what legacy do you think you'll leave behind? How will you be remembered for your time in the minors? I hope to have left a positive legacy of a great two-way forward who’s remembered for being both a good producer and a good locker room guy, 6) You're eligible for some free TPE if you recruit a friend and they end up sticking around; how would you pitch the VHL to an interested friend? I’d tell them how fun the portal is and how easy it is to update a player.

I figured it was a new week so I thought, why not ask my teammates some questions? 1. How do you feel about our chances this season? 2. Has your player been playing well? 3. Are you happy with your player’s season so far? 4. Fun fact about you that no one knows? 5. Best moment in the VHLM?

I never knew that! Thanks for pointing it out

Rumors coming out of the VHL office state that there is a chance that Iceland will be considered for an expansion team. Many fans are shocked by this news, and see it unfathomable that a country like Iceland, which doesn’t seem like a hockey country, may get an expansion team when countries like Sweden, Russia, and Austria, all of which are considered top tier hockey nations with solid national teams, do not have VHL teams. But when you think about it, this move may make sense. Currently, there are three players in the VHL or VHLM from Iceland: promising 17 year old right winger Arnor Sigurdsson of the Ottawa Lynx, 25 year old VHL free agent right winger Oskar Ingolfsson, and 25 year old Calgary Wranglers defenseman Johannes Vihjalmsson. Looking at these players, you may think: “Woah, these guys aren’t very good.”. However, Vihjalmsson is a fairly active defenseman, and Sigurdsson’s been claiming as much TPE as possible over the past couple days, when he declared for the VHLM and signed for the Lynx. Ingolfsson, however, is an inactive winger who also happens to be the oldest Icelander currently playing (well, not really, he’s a free agent). So now you’re thinking “Well, maybe Iceland isn’t that bad at this hockey thing.”. Now, here’s where we drop the bombshell. There’s an Icelandic player in the VHL Hall of Fame. What? Yes, Iceland boasts a player in the Victory Hockey League Hall of Fame. Well, who is this guy? His name is Grimm Jonsson. Jonsson was a 6’3” center from Akureyri who, in his best season, scored 132 points. He finished his career with a grand total of 807 points in 576 games, and won many awards during his illustrious career. In fact, Grimm is known as a legend with the New York Americans, having been the first VHL player EVER to hit 1000 TPE. And his mere presence helped inspire Icelanders to pick up the sport. “Grimm Jonsson was a legend,” said Sigurdsson. “He was my favorite VHL player ever, and someone I grew up emulating. I wanted to be him someday.” In fact, Jonsson is a huge supporter of VHL expansion into Iceland. “Expansion into Iceland would help get more kids in Iceland interested in hockey, which isn’t the first sport in Iceland. That’s football. If the VHL put enough money into the team as well, maybe the team could help train young Icelanders about hockey, and help them learn about the history of the sport.” Sigurdsson agrees. “Iceland doesn’t have a lot of top-notch hockey academies, and even though I love my country, I feel like I couldn’t fully develop my skills there. That’s why I went to Sweden. They have better facilities. A VHL team coming to Iceland could possibly bring those top coaches and better academies to Iceland, searching for the next Grimm Jonsson.”. According to those rumors, the team will be named the Iceland Gyrfalcons after the Icelandic national animal, and will split its home games between Akureyri, where they will play in the Grimm Jonsson Arena, and Reykjavik, where games will take place at Ice Rink Laugardalur. Icelandic fans are hoping that the team isn’t a rumor, and that they will bring pride to a country that might just become the next hockey power.

Arnor Sigurdsson: Icelandic Strongman Declares for VHLM Name: Arnor Sigurdsson Height: 6'4" Weight: 205 lbs Hometown: Reykjavik, Iceland Playing Style Tall, strong right winger with a good shot. Pros Physicality (Strength, Checking) - Sigurdsson is known as a wrecking ball of a player. During his one season with Skelleftea of the SHL, Sigurdsson delivered 70 hits in 52 SHL regular season games. Scouts attribute this to the size of this Icelandic winger, as he stands 6'4" and weighs 205 pounds. Sigurdsson doesn't shy away from throwing his weight around (as shown by his hit total), and isn't easily knocked off the puck. He's very useful as a power forward-type player, and can play at his best in most situations (unless his skating comes into play). Scouts see one weakness in his checks though: he can embarrass himself at times. Sigurdsson can go into a check early, miss, and fall flat on his face as his target skates gracefully by him. This is the one major part of his checking that needs fixing, and to his credit, he has worked on it, but it still needs to be curbed. Scoring (Shooting) - During his time playing in Iceland, Sigurdsson developed a deadly slap shot. His huge frame and strength allows him to throw everything into his slap shots, making them hard to save. Scouts have called his slapper "the hardest I've ever seen" and compared it to the shot of Al McInnis. However, scouts also note his accurate wrist shot. His goal-scoring prowess was noted in his first season in Sweden, as he scored 40 goals (out of 72 points) with Skelleftea's best junior team. There's a reason why Arnor has been touted as a great scorer, and goalies should fear his shot in the games to come. Cons Speed (Skating) - Sigurdsson's size is useful in most situations, but it fails him in his skating. While Sigurdsson can skate fluidly, he lacks speed, and cannot get to his top speed, which is slow, very well. Scouts have called his speed "absolutely horrendous. That's the one main thing the kid needs to work on.". And to his credit, Sigurdsson has been staying after practices, working on sprints to get his top speed up. But, compared to other players in his draft class like Andreas Sundell and Hunter Hearst Helmsley, he's very slow. His large body has cost him speed that is needed in the VHLM, and if he doesn't keep working on his speed, there's a huge chance that Sigurdsson will fail to reach his potential. Recklessness (Discipline) - While Arnor is a great checker, he checks with no discipline whatsoever. In fact, one of his teammates in Sweden nicknamed him "Mr. Boardman" due to the sheer amount of penalty minutes he received for boarding. In fact, he racked up 100 penalty minutes in his lone SHL season, which shows a clear lack of discipline. He needs to be taught how to properly check and avoid the penalty box. A leadership figure is key to his development. His penalty minutes dropped when he played on a line with veteran Joakim Lindstrom, who taught Sigurdsson how to avoid the box, but after he was demoted, Sigurdsson went back to his reckless ways. This problem creates scenarios where Sigurdsson spends less time on the ice, and if it gets too extreme, a healthy scratch may have to come in play.

1) The World Junior Championship is finally underway; who do you think wins it all and why? As a biased Icelander, I’d say Team Scandinavia. I believe in my fellow Norsemen to get the job done. 2) With VHLM playoffs right around the corner, where do you see your team ending up when its all said and done? From what I know, Ottawa has been pretty good so far, and we have a solid chance of winning the cup. I see us winning it. 3) How do you feel about your own personal performance thus far? Do you need to step it up, or stay consistent with what you have? I haven’t played a game yet, having signed for the Lynx yesterday. I want to step in and make a mark with the limited time I have in the regular season. 4) What team do you think will be the biggest surprise in the last portion of this season? Oslo. They’ve been competitive as of late and I can see them clinching a playoff spot. 5) Where do you see yourself at this point next season? What do you hope to have accomplished by then? Hopefully I’m still in the VHLM, learning how to get better and make the VHL proper. I hope to have scored at least 25 points, which I’d say is a reasonable goal. 6) What do you like most about the VHL? What keeps you around? I haven’t been here for very long, so I haven’t really gotten the full VHL experience. However, everyone’s been really friendly to me, and my GM and teammates have been willing to help me adjust to the new league. That’s what’s been keeping me here so far.

Iceland isn’t really a hockey nation. I can tell you that first hand. Us Icelanders are crazy about football. Cut an Icelander open and he’s either bleed the colors of his local team or blue, white, and red. We take football very seriously. Hell, the government even built domed pitches so we can play indoors during the harsh winters. Naturally, I took to footy first. I was born on February 24, 2001, in Reykjavik, to Sigurd Bjarnason and Maria Birkirsdottir. My father was a footballer, who’d played in England for Wolverhampton and Leeds before retiring in 2000 to manage his local team, Válur. And that’s where I got my start at football. You’d think that my dad would give me a lot of leeway due to me being the son of the first team’s manager. That wasn’t the case. He worked hard to get to the Prem, and he wanted me to do the same. It wore on me. After 7 years of playing for Válur’s youth team, at the age of 9, I informed my dad that I wanted to stop. He asked me why, and I told him that I’d found a new love: hockey. When I was 7, my mom had given me NHL 2K8 for the XBOX 360, and I fell in love with the game due to it. I asked my mom if I could get some equipment, and she got me some skates, a stick, and gloves. There aren’t many rinks in Iceland, but thankfully for us, there was a rink, Skautahöllin Laugardal, a couple blocks from where I lived. I would go skating there a couple days a week, working on my shot and passing the puck. My dad saw that I had talent when I took him to the rink to show him my skills, and he allowed me to stop football to take up hockey instead. I eventually caught the notice of Skelleftea in Sweden after impressing for my local youth team, Björninn, scoring 100 points (75 goals) in 50 games. After one game at the age of 14 where I scored a hat trick, one of Skelleftea’s coaches came up to my family. “Your son is very talented, Mr. Bjarnason,” I heard the coach say. “He can come play for us in Sweden. He’s ready for our top youth team, which offers way higher competition than the league in Iceland. If you move, we’ll offer housing for your family as well, so you don’t need to worry about buying a house.” My father agreed to it on the spot. On the ride home, he said, “Son, you’re going to Sweden.” I wasn’t sure how to react. I knew that Sweden had a great league, but I was going to miss my friends back in Reykjavik. “Alright, dad,” I replied. “Hopefully I’ll do well enough to make the main team.”. We moved to Sweden the next day, and I immediately began meeting my teammates and making my mark on the ice. When I turned 16, after my first season with Skelleftea’s best youth team (where I scored 72 points in 60 games), I was promoted to the first team. It was a huge honor, as this was a club that had produced players like Adam Larsson and Oskar Lindberg. My teammates included team legend Joakim Lindstrom (no relation to the current Hurricane) and former Sharks prospect Mantas Armalis. I performed fairly well in my season with Skelleftea. We made the playoffs, and I scored 40 points (27 goals) in the regular season, with 5 points in 14 playoff games. We lost to Vaxjo in the second round. After the playoffs, I learned about the VHL. After hearing about other Scandinavians who had succeeded in the league, I realized that the VHL was a better destination for me than the NHL was. As such, I decided to leave for the VHL after the season, with Ottawa just signing me up. I’m really excited to play for the Lynx and hopefully win a cup this season, as it would mean a lot to step into a team and start winning immediately. North American hockey is going to be a learning experience, but I’m really looking forward to playing for Ottawa and learning more about the game. 713 words
