Make sure to check the New Player Guide section, I'm revamping them at the moment. They should be full of resources to help you get started. If you need any help getting started, there's a channel dedicated to helping newer members in the VHL Discord where veterans can answer every question you have or help you in any way you need. You could also check the newest VHLM Newsletter they are full of useful resources. Or feel free to send me a DM with any question you got.
We are right at the start of season 65. VHLM GMs will come in here trying to claim you for their team, but you can take your time before making your decisions. Try to talk a couple of GMs before making your decision.
I happen to be the GM of the Halifax 21st. I'd love to offer you a role on our 2nd or 3rd pairing, along with some special teams time, depending on your speciality
