    Calgary Wranglers press conference

    1. Give me your best Cowboy Joke!
      An old blind cowboy wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake... He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a shot of Jack Daniels. After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, "Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?" The bar immediately falls absolutely silent. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, Cowboy, I think it is only fair, given that you are blind, that you should know five things: The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat. The bouncer is a blonde girl with a 'Billy-Club'. I'm a 6-foot tall, 175-pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weight lifter. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler. Now, think about it seriously, Cowboy... Do you still wanna tell that blonde joke?" The blind cowboy thinks for a second, shakes his head and mutters, "No...not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times..."
    2. How do you think you are doing now that we are a few weeks in?
      Were doing good. Things are a little rough, but were hanging in there. 
    3. Favourite Holiday to celebrate and why?
      When I was little, Halloween. Nowadays, the answer is Christmas.... cause people still get me gifts even though I'm no longer a kid. It feels nice. 

       
    4. Tell me about the what you saw @cody73 Cody Smith doing on the Flight to Davos?
      Well, I am Cody Smith.... so.... 
    5. Team was split up into offense and defense and had a water balloon fight...  Who won and why?
      Team D won thanks to me.... we used a different kind of balloon then Team O... one that broke easier on contact. 
    6. Team was split up into offense and defense and had a water balloon fight...  Who was your first target and why?
      Jubis. You always gotta get the rookies and show em whose boss. 

    Start a VHLM Alumni Tournament

    So I'm giving it a no for two reasons: 

    1. There really are just too many useless tournaments, a point that's addressed here but pushed to the side unfairly. The league doesn't need more sims than it already has.
    2. I'm overall against glorifying the VHLM past your time spent there. If we really want to start talking about retention, I think the VHL is the side that needs to improve and become more interesting. You only spend one or two seasons in the VHLM, and the whole point of the site is to come up and have your career where it really counts. While the nostalgia is a nice thing for some people, I'm sure, I'd rather get people more interested in the part of their careers that takes up the most time, rather than clinging to a past that doesn't have much impact on a player's overall evaluation.

    At the end of the day, the VHLM exists to prepare you for the big leagues. You learn what the sim is like, how to submit tasks, how to build your player, etc. Once it's served its purpose, the focus should be the VHL. Adding something like this takes the focus/spectacle away from the main attraction of the site, I feel, which is something I'd definitely rather not do.


    1. Okay then. Make tourney's matter. Let players earn TPE on them for participating and then extra for how they finish. The fact is, this is basically bringing back the old sponsorship tourney format in a new form. 

    2. You mistreat the VHLM as if it doesn't matter, as if it's the AHL rather than being our league's version of the CHL. And truth be told, the juniors do matter. Some players become household names in junior and then never have success in the pros, and vice-versa. To say the 'M doesn't matter ignores a players true accomplishments, which I think should also factor in when it comes to VHL HOF nominations. Sure, it serves a purpose and it does it well, but that doesn't mean it doesn't matter cause it helps engage new members and helps forge friendships across the site.... and this encourages that, just like the WJC tourneys do. I agree that focusing on VHL retention is important, and this honestly addresses that in a format most are interested in.
