  3. We spoke to Henry Eagles today about another Eagles joining the VHL " I am excited to see him play, we have been working with him almost in secret to get him up to VHL standards" Henry said "I definitely can't wait to see him on the ice and see what he can do in the VHL. In our training camps he has been solid, barely any flaws and you know when an Eagles joins the league that you're getting a Franchise caliber type of player" Hype has been slowly building around the youngster from his family but he has not yet played a game in the VHL. His first test will be finishing up the season in the VHLM where he is expected to join the Marlins who are currently lacking a keeper. While he might not get playoff hockey from the start by joining the Marlins, he will be able to join the league as a starter instead of playing a backup role. "Roger is definitely not a backup and needs to be starting games, once you see him play you will understand why" Henry continued " I just wish I would get to play against him when he joins the VHL but instead I will be watching him from the stands"
  4. With one Eagles on his last season (Henry) and leaving the VHL, another one enters to continue the Dynasty. This time Roger Eagles joins the VHL, a cousin to former all-star Greg Eagles, and a player that has been training under Greg over the last few seasons. While the competition at the goalie position will be tough, Roger believes he has what it takes to not only be a starter in the league but also one of the top goalies in the league. Scouting reports are suggesting this is one of the most talented Eagles to yet join the league, starting off hockey at a very early age and being surrounded by Greg, Tom and Henry has helped Roger grow into a very competitive player. We spoke to Roger on why he decided on the goalie position. " I just loved the position and thought it was time for an Eagles to be back in the net in the VHL" Roger said " I have been training to be a goalie since I was a child and yes I know im entering the league when there is an influx of goalies currently playing but that does not dissuade me from joining at this position. If anything it helps me be more motivated and more focused to earn that VHL starting spot. I think I will be spending some extra seasons in the juniors to help build on my game. I know no previous Eagles has done this but there is always a first for everything" Roger has not yet joined a VHLM team but rumors have it that he may end up joining San Diego this season as they currently do not have a starting goalie. If he does end up joining San Diego, he will be following the same path as Greg Eagles who also first played for the Marlines when he entered the league back in season 66. " I am excited to get started, I am excited to forge my own path and I am excited to continue the Eagles dynasty here in the VHL " Roger said "I will be working hard to ensure our name sake stays relevant in this league and will be working hard to become the first ever Eagles to try and grace that elusive hall of game" While Roger comes highly touted, not many people have seen him play. He has been hidden from the public eye and has not played many junior games, instead he was consistently training at Greg Eagles goalie camp. Any games that he did play in junior, there was a strict no videography or photography allowed. From people that saw him though, everyone has said that he looks like a much improved version of Greg Eagles at his prime. If that is the case then this young goalie will take the league by storm. The one caveat is that the VHL's scoring has been significantly going up this season as the forwards get better, will Roger, who has not played any professional hockey yet, be able to handle this uptick in goal scoring skill? It will be an interesting journey as we once again follow another Eagles from start to finish.

  6. Another name enters the VHL from the Eagles dynasty and Roger follows the original Eagles, Greg, in playing in the goalie position. Here is his scouting report as he begins his VHL career. Pros: Rebound Control: Roger has always had amazing rebound control even from a young age. He has carried this over to his professional play and is probably one of the top end goalies in his draft class for rebound control. The way he plays, he can put rebounds wherever he wants which makes it harder for the other team to get rebound goals. Hand Speed: This kid has a quick glove and you will find it very hard to beat him glove side. One second you think the puck is going in and the next you see a blur and the puck ends up in his glove. He has practiced and learned this from Greg Eagles. Note to shooters, if you want to do well against Roger, you need to avoid shooting glove side Reaction Time: This goes hand in hand with his great rebound control and hand speed, this kids reaction time is unbelievable for someone so young. If you didn't know he was a development player, you would think he is a veteran goalkeeper with how quickly he reacts to the action on the ice. Good luck trying to score a tipped shot on this guy! Cons: Skating: Rogers still has a lot to improve on the skating aspect of the game. This has always been his weak spot and is something he will be improving as his career grows in the league. He needs to get better at his side to side and backwards skating if he wants to become a franchise goalie in the future. Agility: This goes hand to hand with his skating, his agility is not at the best. Good goalies need to be agile and need to get from post to post and be able to change direction quick. Due to his height this has been tough for Roger but it is something he is currently working on with Greg Eagles who also had agility issues. We can't wait to see how the training goes and how his agility will improve. Size: Could be good, could be bad....but at the moment his size is a con. Roger is a tall and big goalie, similar to Andrei Vasilevskiy, while he covers a big portion of the net, this impedes his agility and skating. As he grows and earns experience, eventually size will become a pro to him as he learns to use it to his advantage.

  8. Henry has been quietly plugging away in his last season of the VHL and he has now matched the same amount of points he had last season but with 21 less games played. If he continues on this pace he may set new career highs for his career. While he has fallen out of the VHL race for top 10 in points and goals, he does sit 10th in assists. "I always thought of myself as a scorer but in this final season I decided to pass the puck around more and it has been working" Henry said "I am happy with the way this season has gone and I look forward to the potential of playoffs. We have a solid team and solid moves have been made to make this team competitive" Seattle, who weren't expected to make the playoffs before free agency, now sit in 2nd on the North American division and one of the teams making noise across the league with their exciting play.
  9. 1) Have you watched any PWHL games (Women's professional hockey)? If so what are your thoughts? 2) What VHL team do you think has made the best moves at the deadline to improve? 3) If a net gets torn, does it have more or fewer holes?
  10. With the current political climate and majority of companies temporarily or permanently closing down show in Russia. The VHL has followed suit and decided to move and rebrand the Moscow Menace. Revenue has been down and no one outside of Moscow wants to see the team play so the VHL has decided to move the team. While the Moscow fans might not be happy, there was no viable way to keep the team going in Russia as no one outside of Russia was willing to support the team any longer. “While the team was playing great and being manager great, it was still losing money and none of our sponsors wanted anything to do with it. We know it’s not the hockey teams fault but we have to follow suit with what everyone else out there is doing. Maybe in the future we will be able to return” A league representative was heard saying. There was lots of cities bidding for the potential move but only one city stood out which would not move the team too far and would still have enough support internally. That city is Vinius in Lithuania. It is in a suitable location to all the other VHL teams and has many ways that fans and other teams can reach the city. Wheter by Bus, Train or flight. Lithuania currently does not have a professional hockey sports team and this will put the city and country on the map in the field of Hockey. There was lots of excitement surrounding the rebrand as the team and VHL announced the teams official name. The team has also announced they will be rebranding from Moscow Menance to the Vinius White Storks. The white stork is the national animal of Lithuania and everyone involved this would be the best way to represent the team in the VHL. There was no logo announced yet but the team has said one will be available in the next few weeks. We can’t wait to see what the graphics team will come up with. The team will play at the Pramogu Arena which has a capacity of 4000 people until the team and city build a newer up to date arena that is up to the VHL standards. The VHL will help with 50% of the costs and the arena is expected to be finished in time for the S97 season. The first official game in Vinius colors will be the start of S94, as the league is allowing Moscow to finish off the season. We spoke to a few new fans in Lithuania about the move and here are some quotes. “I think this will be great for the city and the country. We are known for Basketball in the sports world but that’s about it, I think its time we show the world that we can also play hockey” “I always dreamed of watching professional hockey and never though a team would actually come here to Vinius. This is a great opportunity for us and I hope the team can stick around for the foreseeable future”
  11. Damn wasn't expecting that! Was a pleasure playing for you and Riga with Greg Eagles! Was definitely a fun time winning that cup for Riga
  12. 1) The total solar eclipse in happening April 8th in some parts of North America. Will you be getting glasses and looking at it or do you just not care? 2) Crazy conspiracy theorists are saying the eclipse will be the end of times! What is the craziest conspiracy that you have heard in your lifetime? 3) What one conspiracy do you believe might actually have some truth behind it?
  13. 1) Which VHL player has surprised you the most so far this season? (Cannot pick your own player!) 2) If money was no object, which city would you want to live in and why? 3) You find a book and begin to read it, only to discover that it is a story of your life. You get to the point that you are at now, do you turn the page knowing that you will not be able to change the events to come?

  16. Review: I enjoy media spots like this as I don't really follow the M that much and it's even more interesting through the eyes of a GM. The article was spot on detailing your draft picks and why you decided to choose that player. Was interesting to read about your deviation as well and that is always the interesting part when you get to be a GM, is those quick last minute decisions you have to make to make your team better. To make the article stand out more I would add picture or maybe some color but that's just a visual thing. The actual article was very well written! Best of luck this season as Mexico GM! Rating 9.5/10
  17. Henry Eagles had a 3 game Seattle debut to remember. The former 1st round pick had fans on their feet for his first 3 games as a bear by picking up 8 points, 6 of those goals, in his Seattle debut. He also managed to score a hat-trick in his second game. After the first set of VHL games, Henry leads the league in points and goals. "It's early and I know I won't be able to keep up this pace and probably won't finish at the top in points and goals but it was a great start for sure" Henry said " The hat-trick was also great, haven't had a lot of those in my career" Rumours has it that the GM did not tell the team the lineup or even had any set lines, players were asked to form their own lines and they just went with it. Nobody on the Bears have confirmed or denied this but regardless of what the situation was, the lines seemed to click. "I don't know where those rumours were formed, I mean we had our lines set, I just don't know if those were the intended lines or not but regardless I found instant chemistry with Severus Targaryen and we just played like we have been playing together for years. If these lines were not the right lines I just hope we can stay on the same line together." Henry continued " It was definitely a great start here in Seattle and hopefully we can keep on winning" This has been Henry's best start to as season in his career so far and the Bears fans can't get enough. Eagles jerseys have been flying off the shelf when he was signed and after this performance to start the season the Bears will be raking in the money in merchandising sales. " When you have a start like that, the fans will want to buy all your merchandise and right now Henry merchandise is just printing money " the Bears commercial director said " His contract has been paid off in the first week of the season, we hope he can continue playing like this for the rest of the season as ill be able to retire early if that's the case!" Before the free agency period the Bears were outsiders looking in at the playoffs but with what they have shown very early this season, they might be looking more like contenders. " I know the media likes to hype everything up but it has only been 3 games, there is still a lot of hockey to be played" Henry says " Anything can happen between now and the end of the season so let's not get ahead of ourselves. We need to keep focusing one game at a time and if we get into the playoffs then we can cross that bridge when we get there" In the end, winning the Eagles sweepstakes seems to be paying instant dividends for the Bears and might elevate the Bears back into playoff contenders.
  18. In just a few hours, Henry Eagles, will play his final season opener as he enters the final season of his VHL Career. He will be playing in a new city and dawning the colors of a new team as he begins the end of his career. Even in his last season, their are high expectations for the former 1st overall pick and age has not slowed him down. " I am still chasing that 100 point mark in my career and I guess I want something to showcase my efforts as well, maybe an individual trophy or so" Henry said " but of course the main goal is to get Seattle back in the playoffs and maybe upset a few teams in the playoffs. My role now is to help guide these youngsters in Seattle to help them achieve all their goals. It will be a fun final season and I can't wait to start" The Bears home opener has been sold out for weeks as excitement builds for Henry's Seattle debut. Will it be a special first game for the skilled forward or will it end with Eagles disappointing the Bears excited fans?
  19. 1 - Controversial but less regression, with such short careers per player, would reduce when regression kicks in. 2 - Not so much adding a job but I would include some sort of pay for Ast GM; even if its 1TPE. 3 - Probably Dark on Netflix, great series (3 seasons) and not too many people know about it. Q1: Were approaching the start of another season, which VHL, VHLM and VHLE do you think will surprise people the most? Q2: Have you set a seasonal goal for your player? If so what are your goals for the season? Q3: What would you do if you knew you'd go blind in three months? Is there something, in particular, you'd like to see?

  22. After a whirlwind Free agency, Henry Eagles has landed in Seattle and met his new team at the Bears training camp. He skated with his new team-mates as they start to build chemistry in what will be an interesting season and hopefully a playoff push for this Bears team. "It was great to get back on the ice and meet everyone, I was playing on different lines and getting used to some of the talented players here" Henry said in his first Seattle interview " I don't know fully where I will be playing yet but I am open to play anywhere. I let the GM know I am here to offer any assistance that I can and that even means potentially playing in a position I have never played for before" Eagles will be looking to end his career with a PPG career or higher. He currently sits at 576 games played with 565 points so he will have to have a pretty good final season if he is to reach his goal. "I think I can make it happen here while also gunning for a playoff spot and maybe even causing some upsets along the way, it will be an exciting final season that's for sure!"
  23. Will miss Malmo! Wishing you guys all the best, still a very solid team that will be dangerous this season!
