@cody73

Good luck in Calgary @cody73! Happy to have had you on my team this past season.

You want a big market with no major teams? How about Virginia?

Hello and welcome ladies and gentlemen to the first Players Awards Night for the Mississauga Hounds. These are the awards to the players voted by the players, I will be your host Peter Wilkinson, now without further delay lets get down to business.
 
Our first award is the Dream Line award here we will pick the top player of each position to make the best line on the ice. This is if everyone started at the same skill level and does not take current skill into consideration.
 
Firstly the Goalie of the Year is......
 
@Rayzor_7 RAYZ FUNK! 
 
Rayz started all 77 games the Hounds played this year and was a key part to the teams success, he was only pulled from the ice once and his replacement The Hound never saw a single start. This award was one of the easiest to give out but it doesn't make him any less deserving. Please everyone give it up for your Goalie FUNK!
 
Next we will look at the Defenceman of the Year
 
Our first winner was voted by all his teammates as one of the best defencemen and who could blame them. You all know him its....
 
@HulkHogan HULK HOGAN!
 
As our highest scoring defenceman and most assists on the team it is of no surprise that Hulk has earned his spot up here tonight. He was not only great in the offensive zone but a staple in the defensive zone also with GM Jerry Garcia keeping him out on the ice as long as he could every shift. The Hounds worked Hulk Hogan as much as they could and he never faltered. Please give it up for HULK HOGAN!
 
our defender joining Hogan was a late addition to the team but that didn't stop him achieving great things on the ice. Your second defencemen of the year is...
 
@Cran DANNY DEYEETO!
 
Do not let his small stature or his age fool you. DeYeeto is an absolute devil on the ice, if you have the puck near him watch out because you are going to get hit and stay hit. His presence really lifted the Hounds after being signed as a free agent mid way through the year. The only people he let down were the opposition and that was certainly not gently. Please every a round of applause for your second D-Man DANNY DEYEETO!!!
 
Now we can get onto the interesting people of the team the forwards first we will have a look at the Centre of the Year.
 
This was a close decision between two amazing centres that GM Garcia struggled to pick on who should be the top line centre. But your winner for this year is...
 
@No_Dangles DAN GLES!
 
Dan Gles was on the infamous 2nd line for the Hounds this year which was one of if not the strongest second line in the whole of the VHLM. He produced fantastic numbers with 96 points in the regular season and with 5 points in the post season, including a short handed goal. This man might seem quiet put he lets the scoreboard do the talking for him. Give it up for your centre of the year DAN GLES!
 
For the Right Winger of the year I am sure that this man needs no introduction you all love him it's...
 
@GlowyGoat  CALLUM MACELROY!!!
 
Topping the points table for the whole year in the VHLM with 107 points in the regular season MacElroy had an absolute blinder of a season. He was also apart of the infamous second line for the Hounds and he was the main man out there.
Wait a minute where is MacElroy has anyone seen him he hasn't come up to collect his award. Please can someone go find him.
Sorry about that where was I.. oh right. The lead goal scorer in the whole of the VHLM no wonder why he is the Right Winger of the year for the Mississauga Hounds. Please everyone give it up for CALLUM MACELROY!
 
Last but certainly not least we have the Left Winger of the Year. This man is famous all through Mississauga for his great play on the ice, he is no other than...
 
@cody73 CODY SMITH!
 
This amazing skater was leading the goal scoring in the whole league for the first part of the season and put up heaps of big games. Including a hat-trick in game five of the quarter finals in the playoffs. This man lead from the front wearing the C on his jersey, being an incredible face for the franchise. It is no wonder that he was the players choice of best left winger in the Hounds. Rumours have it that he might become a Defenceman in the future so this could have been his final season up front. He definitely made it one he will never forget. Everyone lets hear it for Cody Smith!
 
So here we have our line of the year can we give it up one last time for these incredible players!
 
Now we move on to our individual awards
 
The first award is our Players Player this is the MVP as voted by the players, the one they want on the ice with them but is also a great team mate.
 
The winner for this award is...
 
@cody73 CODY SMITH!
 
The captain of the team showed his leadership on and off the ice. Leading the team in scoring at the beginning of the season and leading the team in advice and assistance throughout the whole season. He is a player that you would want in any locker room and you can see him going far with his career. Best of Luck in the future Cody it was a pleasure to have you on the Hounds and leading from the front. Let me hear you scream for your captain Cody Smith!
 
Our next award is the player most likely to end up in the Hall of Fame
 
and to no ones surprise the winner is...
 
@HulkHogan HULK HOGAN!
 
This man is bigger than life and everyone knows him, it is no wonder that he was voted most likely to get up into the Hall of Fame. It's not just his skill on the ice but his huge personality. Plus have you seen the size of him I would hate to be the one that tells him that he isn't going in the Hall of Fame. So whether it is by skill, personality or intimidation Hulk Hogan will end up in the Hall of Fame, congratulations BROTHER!
 
Give it up again for Hulk Hogan!
 
Up next we have the award for best leadership, this is the player who you could imagine becoming a great GM in the future.
 
The winner is... our first choice for captain
 
@Rayzor_7 RAYZ FUNK!
 
Rayz Funk was elected captain by the Hounds at the beginning of the season but due to the rules was not allowed to wear the C on his jersey. To combat that Funk had a C painted on to his mask as he new who the real captain was. Funk is an absolute great leader and this can be confirmed as he was chosen to be the GM of the Minnesota Storm. We all wish him the best of luck in his future endeavours. Give it up for your goalie Rayz Funk.
 
Now that brings an end to today's ceremony of players awards, but wait we do have 3 special awards picked by a person who didn't watch a single Hounds game and knows nothing about any of the players. For some reason the management thought that these awards should be accepted also, so lets continue with this party.
 
First up we have an award for... Best fashion sense.
 
This award goes to...
 
@VisualDarkness ANDREAS SUNDELL!
 
Well I don't really have much information for these awards so come on out Sundell and collect your award. Wow he is wearing a pink and yellow striped suit that is... well that is out there. I guess he deserves this award.
 
The next award is for... Most clumsy player
 
This award goes to...
 
@DoktorFunk SCOTT GREENE!
 
Congratulations Greene, I don't know why you have been selected for this award but come up and collect it... just be careful on the stairs. Look everyone he made it all the way up without tripping, I don't know why this was given to you. Everyone give it up for Scott.... oh no he fell down the stairs, do we have any real Doctors in the building?
 
Anyway lets just move right along to our final award for the night.
 
The teams biggest sook, this is the player that whines about any injury they receive and complain to the refs the most and the winner is...
 
....WHAT REALLY??? The award went to @HulkHogan HULK HOGAN???
 
Well, I think that about wraps it up for tonight I am scared of what Hogan will do to me so good night all and see you next year.
 
Please Hulk no, I didn't have anything to do with the award I just hand them out... Oh No!!!
 
[1517 Words] Will claim for this week and the following two

As teams finish up the playoffs and start to get ready to draft certain players, other VHLM players are instead preparing for the jump to the VHL as they were drafted the previous season. Cody Smith, last years captain of the Mississauga Hounds, is one of these players, having been drafted by the Calgary Wranglers 42nd overall.... however, instead of playing LW like most would expect, rumours have been circulating he could instead be a key piece of Calgary's blue line. When asked to comment on this, Smith replied to the media: 
 
"I put the team ahead of my own goals and I've played defence before during my short stint in beer-hockey. Given that I'm slowly getting better as a skater, I think it makes sense... I'm strong defensively, I can lay the body, I have a solid slap shot.... and I know Calgary can find wingers in the next couple of drafts that could fulfil the role I'd play on the wing. It'd be an adjustment, but we've seen guys make the transition and play fine. I think I'd bring a edge to the Wranglers blue line, especially given the core is getting older. It really comes down to what the coaches want. If they want to be a winger, I'll play wing. If they want me to play defence, I'll play defence. It's simple as that." 

Smith makes some fair points. The winger is coming off an 87 point season for the Hounds, having scored 45 goals & added 42 helpers. He tallied up 172 hits & 28 blocked shots. The skill set is definitely there, as is his desire. This is a player whose had to overcome two mental disabilities, once of which affects his muscles. If he were to be a member of the Wranglers blue line, I think he'd do a good job and having him train in the off season to prepare for this alleged transition is a smart decision by the Wrangler coaches. It gives him time to work on his areas of weakness and make them strengths of his game, as well as the ability to be ahead of his rookie class in certain aspects. In addition, I think his main weapon, which happens to be his shot, would be a great thing to have from the point. His goal scoring might go down, but his efficiency would certainly go up, as would his teammates scoring numbers off of rebounds more than likely. I also think that spending time on the blue line would help sharpen his skating, which while it's gotten better, is still not as strong as you'd like it to be from a top winger. That being said, it really comes down as to how his coaches want to use him, as his skill set is very versatile and he could be an asset no matter where he plays. 

When asked if this move could be a ploy to make free agents stay or leave, Smith replied: 
 
"I don't know if anybody on the team is leaving  free agency or if a job will open up on the blue line. What I know is that I'm open to making this change if my coaches ask me to. I'm comfortable playing left wing. I'm comfy playing right wing. I'm comfy playing defence. I care about winning. That's what this boils down to for myself. I want to help my team win. I offered to play defence if we needed a blue liner. That's all. It's honestly not that big of a deal."

These two guys would be great. Both guys are ready for a GM role for sure

I applied for both Vegas jobs, so I might as well throw my name in here. I think I've proven to multiple VHLM GM's that I'm invested in this league and that I'd make for a good GM or AGM.

Exactly. Discord does nothing in the way of productivity, and can't go nearly as in-depth as a forum discussion. But--aside from being where I've gotten to know many teammates, players I've managed, and other members of the league in general, Discord was also where I had a great many aspects of the league explained to me, and it's where I actually became interested in the league. I likely wouldn't be here right now if last season's Discord locker room in Houston weren't as great as it was, and I certainly wouldn't be here if it didn't exist in the first place. Being able to ask questions and having them answered instantly, or within a few minutes, is far superior to displaying it on the forum, hoping someone happens to read my post, and getting an answer at some point in the future.

I stand by my comment. Discord's definitely better for engaging conversations, but the forum's great for stuff you miss and when you want to add in your 2 cents to a discussion, much like this thread.
