1. 50% isn’t even a passing grade in Saskatchewan post secondary, that’s the test lol. 2. 1+1=2, quick maths 3. I think it was a good trade. Soju had a great job holding down the fort. 4. I don’t take this seriously, I do a poor job writing media spots and VHL.Don articles. 5. Yes, don’t want to screw over a team in such a small league. 6. I mean if the meta wolves don’t have the asterisk then this group should if we win.

Player Spotlight – Chad Powers @Big_Dyl American born goaltender Chad Powers joined the VHL back on September 23, 2024, and was able to join the Halifax 21st roster as the team’s backup netminder, after the team drafted him sixteenth overall in the season ninety-six VHLM Dispersal Draft. With Jon Webber III ahead of Powers currently on the depth chart, Powers has only seen action in seventeen games this season. During those seventeen games so far in season ninety-six, Powers has put up a record of 7-9-1 along with a save percentage of .897 and a goals against average of 2.75. While the numbers don’t jump off the page when looking at them, Powers has been consistently approving behind the scenes in hopes of continuing his development day in and day out. Since joining the league back near the end of September Powers has been actively submitting point tasks and supplemental tasks each week and currently sits at 187 TPE. Powers 187 TPE is currently has him sitting as the eleventh best VHL draft eligible prospect as the league inches closer to the off-season. If Powers can continue on the earning path he is on at this point of his career, there is no telling what the future will hold for him in the VHL once he arrives for a very lucky club.

1. I think it was a good theme week, brought out a lot of different topics. 2. 7/10. Could be worse, but could be a lot better if we didn’t have 5 NA teams searching for a continental cup. 3. I think we will trade for a goalie from Warsaw. 4. not sure if it was written about but we need Anderson to come back to write about himself. 5. I assumed Trump would win and he did. 6. Ninefingers told me it was friendship and I believe him.

Ninefingers isn’t as bad as we pretend. 2nd on the team in points, 11th in the league in faceoff wins, 15th in the league for goals, 10th in the league in shooting percentage

VHL Spotlight - Pelayo Bolivar @SMYLS4 The six foot, two hundred pound Spanish born centerman had been a member of the VHL since joining the league back in September 23, 2024. Bolivar quickly joined the Halifax 21st VHLM club and has seen action for the east coast club in fifty-two games so far. In those fifty-two games played, Bolivar has put up ten goals and and sixteen assists. While the offensive numbers won’t pop off the charts at first glance, you have to remember that Bolivar is playing on a Halifax club that currently finds themselves in last place in the European Conference. Off the ice, Bolivar is showing how dedicated they are in their early VHL career. To date of writing his article, Bolivar has put up 178 TPE, which puts the young forward as the tenth best prospect available for this off-season VHL Entry Draft. Bolivar had been actively putting out point tasks since joining the league and in fact has a weekly podcast with a fellow draftee, Mikko Tuomala, called “All aboard”. We wish Bolivar all the best and hope VHL teams take notice of the clear work ethic displayed in the last month and a bit in the league.

The Three Peat In honor of the upcoming VHL trade deadline, the league announced the annual theme week that accompanies the trade deadline. The theme this year is “VHL Lore”, as the league is quickly coming upon its 100th anniversary. In response to this theme, I thought a quick look at one of the most hated teams in VHL, the season eighty to eighty-two Vancouver Wolves, also known as the ‘Meta team”. As many already know, the Vancouver Wolves were the second VHL franchise to win three straight Continental Cups however, the Wolves used 600 TPE players to lead them to the three championships. Those players were using basically a cheat code of max scoring, max or close to max defense and little to no passing to put up absurd offensive numbers. The commissioner team had to finally step in to fix the issue, when Beketov announced on March 5, 2022, that the league would be switching to a hybrid-based attribute system that would change the way players would update their players, making it much harder to max out certain STHS attributes. We’ll take a quick look at each years’ team to see how much offense they put up each season. Season Eighty: The Wolves won the Victory Cup in season eighty, putting up 118 points, winning fifty-seven of their seventy-two games. The team blew the other fifteen teams out of the water with 355 goals for, which was sixty-one more goals than the second-place team. During the playoffs, the Wolves played in sixteen playoff games on their way to their first continental cup of the three-peat, putting up sixty-three goals, while winning twelve of their sixteen games.

The Wolves put up even more goals for in season-eighty-one as the team put up 381 goals for. The one difference in season eight-one, was the offensive for many teams in the VHL seemed to be inflated, with six teams scoring more than 300 goals on the season. The Wolves had two players eclipse the sixty goals mark in season eighty-one, as Jerome Reinhart put up sixty-one and Henry Tucker put up sixty goals. In the playoffs, the Wolves played in eighteen games and put up an eye popping ninety-four goals in those playoffs. Jerome Reinhart continued his amazing season as he put up twenty-eight goals in the Wolves eighteen playoff games.

The team that season put up fifty-three goals, which was tied with the Los Angeles Stars for the most wins in the league that season. The Wolves had their worst goals for performance in the last season of their three-peat, putting up 336 goals for, which was only eleven goals more than second place London in goals for. In the playoffs, the Wolves only played in fourteen playoff games, winning twelve of those fourteen games. The team managed to score fifty-nine goals that post-season , with Tyler Reinhart leading the way with ten goals, which is a far cry from the twenty-eight goals that Jerome Reinhart put up in the season eighty-one post-season.

1. Michael Jackson was a very interesting human. 2. Logan Ninefingers. A man shows you he only has nincefingers, many people will turn and run the other way. 3. Monster Mash 4. I dressed up as a broke first time parent. Wore my regular everyday clothing so that's nice. 5. Give ninefingers a fake hand with 5 fingers and have him shake peoples hands as he introduces himself as ninefingers. 6. I would take one. I had to do that last year cause I had a 4 day old, people only took one and they were full sized chocolate bars. Plus you get so much candy why take more

Player Spotlight – Mikko Tuomala @flyersfan345 Twenty-year-old defenseman Mikko Tuomala joined the VHL earlier this month on October 6, 2024. The 6’2 Finnish born defenseman was quickly picked up off waivers by the Halifax 21st and joined the team for the clubs last twenty-four regular season games. Tuomala has had a decent start to his career in the VHLM as he has put up three goals and seven assists in those twenty-four games he has appeared in this season. Off the ice, Tuomala has been putting in work to quicky move up the draft board for this off-seasons Season Ninety-Seven VHLM Dispersal Draft. Currently Tuomala sits as the third best prospect TPE wise as we close into the half-way mark in the season, but also sits only two TPE behind the second-best prospect Pepe Silvia, in the draft. Update wise Tuomala has been working hard mostly collecting welfare however, he did claim a podcast for 6 TPE last week, which we love to see. Hopefully as Tuomala becomes more familiar and engaged in the league he can continue to pump out come 6 TPE point tasks to keep climbing the ladder even higher up until the draft day.

In Canada fighting in the streets gets you an award, no jail.

1. I am happier than previous years, but I think we can do more. 2. I have been happy with the start, but the last 10 games, I need to lead the team better. 3. There is a kids song that is "Are you Happy". I would hope I don't sing it around the lockerroom 4. It was a neat announcement, lot different than most VHL teams. I think a lot of our team could have been named assistant over me. 5. Call Ninefingers "Frodo" 6. I won't allow any Christmas decorations being put up prior to November 11th. Usually our decorations go up after December 1st.
