VHLM Dispersal Draft Outlook With the VHLM Season just a week or so away from seeing a new Founder Cup champion crowned, in this week’s article, we will take a way too early look ahead at what the VHLM Dispersal Draft may look like with the current eligible players. With eight of the ten VHLM franchises currently holding onto their own first round draft choice, the draft order may look a little different come draft day, but we will look at the picks based on current regular season standings. Ottawa Lynx: Ottawa has had a rough go of it recently in the VHLM, being at or near the bottom of the standings the last three VHLM seasons. This is one pick I could see moving prior to the VHLM draft, as Ottawa currently holds only six total picks in the draft, with only two of those picks coming in the first two rounds. Regardless if the pick is moved or not, we believe the consensus First Overall pick in the VHLM draft would currently be Phillip Rave. After joining the league after the Season Ninety VHLM Dispersal Draft, Rave signed to play for the San Diego Marlins, where he was able to play in all seventy-two games for the Marlins this past season. Rave was a point per game player for the Marlins this season, putting up thirty-three goals and forty-one assists, helping San Diego to a first-place finish in the VHLMs Western Conference. With Rave being well ahead in the TPE race, it’s a very high likelihood Rave will see his name forever on the poral as the First Overall Pick of the S91 VHLM Dispersal Draft. Houston Bulls: Houston is one of two VHLM franchises that have a second first round pick, Mississauga’s First Round pick, which they picked up in a trade with Saskatoon his past season. Currently Houston does not have any defenseman on their roster, which is the reason we believe they will jump at the chance to draft the top defenseman currently in the VHLM Dispersal Draft, which happens to be Vanellope von Schweetz. Von Schweetz was a trade deadline re-create arrival in the VHLM this season, where he signed with the Marlins. The Greenland native was able to play in twenty games with the Marlins after signing with the club, where he put up ten assists in those twenty-games. Von Schweetz and the Marlins are currently playing in the VHLM playoffs, where he has been able to show off more of his play, putting up three goals and seven assists in nine playoff games. If the Bulls in fact do go defense with a top two pick in the VHLM Dispersal Draft, they surely won’t be disappointed with von Schweetz. Halifax 21st: Halifax did manage to sneak into the playoffs in Season Ninety, as the eighth and final seed for the VHLM playoffs. Halifax took on the San Diego Marlins in the and were unfortunate swept in four games in the VHLM Quarter Finals. Halifax had a few maxed-out earners on the roster in Season Ninety, some of which are likely to move onto the VHLE, which will leave some areas of the roster to work on for Halifax General Manger. With most of those losses likely to come in their forward group, we can see the 21st tuning their attention that way in the draft and selecting American winger, Logan Ninefingers. Ninefingers was another trade deadline re-create that joined the VHLM, so he was only able to showcase his abilities in eighteen games with the Miami Marauders. In the eighteen games Ninefingers dressed for, couldn't really showcase what he could do, putting up three goals and three assists. With a strong agency and strong practice history, we believe teams would be more than willing to look past such a small sample size of Ninefingers low offensive numbers. Mexico City Kings: Next on the reverse regular season standings list is the Mexico City Kings. Mexico like Halifax snuck into the playoffs, where the lined up against the Mississauga Hounds. Mexico put up a valiant effort but was unable to knock off the Hounds, eventually losing in five games. Mexico also appears to have some players that will be graduating out of the VHLM but looks to bring back most of their roster outside possibly Justin Chen and Mina. With no top end centerman likely to return to Mexico in Season Ninety- One, out not so educated guess has us leaning Mexico picking up George Richmond with their First-Round pick. Richmond just finished up his season, playing the last nineteen games of the regular season and their six playoff games series with the Las Vegas Aces. Richmond really hit the ground running after joining the Aces club at the VHL trade deadline, putting up a point per game, with six goals and eleven assists. Richmond has been a consistent TPE earner since joining the league as a re-create, something the VHLM General Managers will likely take notice of, which may allow Richmond to go higher than Fourth Overall. Philadelphia Reapers: Philadelphia made their intentions clear early in the season, when they traded away Eno Velvson to Miami just thirteen games in the VHLM season. Philadelphia clawed and scratched their way to the playoffs after the trade that brought them in additional draft picks for the Season Ninety-One VHLM Dispersal Draft. Currently is looks as if the Reapers will return their two defenders that played on the team in Season Ninety, so we can see the Reapers looking towards the forwards come draft day. We believe the Reapers will select the French born forward Nico Belique. Belique put together good tape for the draft process in his seventy-two games played with the Miami Marauders, as the young forward put up twenty-one goals and forty-two assists in his first go around in the VHLM. Miami and Belique are currently fighting for their lives in the VHLM playoffs, and Belique is doing everything in his power to help the team move onto the next round, as he has put up eight points in the eleven playoffs games. The Reapers would be hard pressed to select a different player if Belique is on the board when they step up to the podium. Philadelphia Reapers (From Miami Marauders): Philadelphia may be lucky enough to have back-to-back draft choices right smack down in the middle VHLM Dispersal Draft. After dipping into the forward pool with their own draft choice, we believe Philadelphia will dip back into the pool and select forward Adi Dassler from Germany. Another trade deadline re-create, Dassler comes from a very reputable VHL Agency, something that may allow Dassler to jump ahead of other prospects in the draft. Dassler didn’t preform in the regular season like many including himself would have hoped, as he managed only one point in the fourteen games he played in San Diego. With an entire off-season or practice and improving ahead for the left-winger, we can’t foresee a VHLM General Manager passing up selecting Dassler if he’s still available when they select in the first round. Las Vegas Aces: Next on the list is the Las Vegas Aces, who are coming off what would be described as a less than expected playoff series against the Miami Marauders. After being bounced in the Quarter Finals in six games, the Aces likely switched their focus to the off-season and what they can do to take the next step. With their current goalie, Dalkr Vidarsson likely to move onto the VHLE next season, selecting his predecessor in Giorgiy Constanzov would be a giant step in the right direction. Although Constanzov doesn’t have much VHLM experience under his belt after joining the Miami Marauders during the VHL trade deadline, where he only saw action in five games, Contanzov is by far the bet goalie prospect in the VHLM Dispersal Draft. Constanzov is another prospect from the Mongoose agency, who’s lastest VHLer Jasmes Teekrique is about to retire after a point per game career with HC Davos Dynamo, so VHLM General Managers are well aware of the quality of player they would expect from this agency. The only real question remains, will Costanzov still be available at the back half of the First Round? Saskatoon Wild: When Saskatoon is called to the podium for the first time, the Wild will likely be looking at a roster that is quite depleted by graduating players into the VHLE. Seven of their current roster players sit at 199 TPE of higher, which is a major part of their roster that carried them to a 104-point season. Saskatoon was just bounced from the playoffs in their Semi-Finals match-up against the Mississauga Hounds and will be looking to add to their few returning players to take a shot once again at the Founders Cup. After a great regular season and deep playoff run, the only issue is you’ll find yourself near the bottom of the draft, but we still believe Saskatoon will get a quality player in sixteen-year-old forward Olumide Anderson. Anderson who stands at closer to seven feet than six feet, spent the season playing for the Halifax 21st. Although he wasn’t the highest TPA player on the roster in Halifax, Anderson played a key role for the team, putting up seventy-two points, including twenty-eight goals in the sixty-three games he played this past season. Anderson continued his point per game performance in the playoffs, as he led the way in assists and points for the 21st in their four playoff games with four assists and six points. With Anderson on board in Saskatoon, the Wild should have no problems putting the puck in the back of the net. Houston Bulls (From Saskatoon; From Mississauga Hounds): Houston is back on the clock after their trade with Saskatoon that saw Season Ninety-One VHL Entry Draft Eligible Joshua Schwarzer head over to Saskatoon for their run to the playoffs. After we predicted the Bulls going with a defenseman with the Second Overall pick, we believe the Bulls will now look to add to their forward core with another Greenland born player in this draft, Dietrich Reingaard. With 199 TPE earned so far since joining the VHLM just under two months ago, Reingaard could be a player that might see more than one season in the VHLM, which may intrigue the Bulls enough to select him for a longer turn around. Reingaard is another VHLM draft eligible player that played this last season with the San Diego Marlins, a team that was a very loaded roster with good depth. With all the roster players, which included 8 forwards, Reingaard didn’t see the ice-time that other prospects might have, but still put up a respectable twenty-eight points to go along with 132 hits in seventy-two games played. If Houston was to add the younger Reingaard to their roster through the draft, we don’t think they will be disappointed come seasons’ end. San Diego Marlins: Of course, the playoffs are yet to be decided, but the Marlins might be on their way to having the last draft pick in the First Round, as they currently hold a 3-2 led in the VHLM Semi-Finals against Miami. If they do go on to win and then take home the Founders Cup, they might not be holding onto this pick come draft time, as they may be heading into a retool after a very successful season. With a lot of depth pieces available in the draft on the defensive side of the rink, we believe the Marlins will take the chance to retool their defense with the selection of Vlad Von Carstein, the twenty-five-year-old defenseman from Germany. The last pick in our way to early mock draft was surprise; another trade deadline re-create. Carstein comes to the VHL via the Dom agency, whose previous player Igor Molotov is going to retire at the conclusion of the season after eight-year career split between Malmo and London. Hopefully Carstein can have the same impact in a short time with San Diego as Molotov did in his long VHL career. 2,021 Words (4 Weeks October 8, October 15, October 22 and October 29)

Miami Hopeful To Take Next Step As of the time of writing this VHL.com article, the Miami Marauders currently hold a 3-2 lead in their VHLM Quarter-Final match-up with the Las Vegas Aces. The most recent game, which was a 4-2 win for the Aces, aw Marauders goaltender David Slezak chased from the game after Vegas went up 4-1 with just under three minutes remaining in the second period. While Slezak didn’t have his best game in Game Five, let’s be honest without Slezak Miami might already be hitting the links at Miami Shores Country Club. So far in the five games Slezak and the Marauders played in, the European goalie has a 3-1-1 record, a .937 save percentage and 1.95 goals against average, to go along with one shutout. All these impressive numbers are even more impressive when you look at the total shots against in those five games, where Slezak sits in second place in the league with 174 shots against. If Miami hopes to take the next step in the playoffs including moving onto the second round against the offensive powerhouse, the San Diego Marlins, Miami will need Slezak to continue his stellar play for the next few weeks.

1. I am just happy to be on a playoff bound team. Who would want to come into the league for 10 games and then start the off-season immediately. Now that we are 5 games in, I am feeling a bit nervous with the recent loss. 2. When my player started he came in like a shot, but has recently settled down a bit in the last few games of the regular season and the last few playoff games. I can't wait to have more TPA to be a more productive all around player. 3. Amazing first VHLM games. If he keeps is up off the ice, it will surely work out on the ice. 4. Hopefully he eats Marlins, we we see the next round! 5. Roope Hintz. Gets overshadowed by Robertson and Benn. 6. I am in NFL fantasy league and that is it

VHLM League Leaders With just over a week to go in the VHLM regular season, the dust is starting to settle, but there are still multiple battles raging on in the VHLM scoring and points race. Today we’ll look at the current respective leaders in the points category. Grimgor Ironhide (117 Pts in 67 games): Ironhide has had an amazing first full season in the VHLM with the Mississauga Hounds. Ironhide quickly maxed out on TPA, where he currently sits at the league maximum 200 TPA. Ironhide has really put those 200 TPE to work in what will be his only full season in the VHLM. Ironhide currently leads the league in points by thirteen points, with Jeid Rohnson currently at second in the league with a very respectable 104 points. With only five games remaining in the regular season, it appears to be a long shot that anyone will catch Ironhide on his pursuit for the Ethan Osborne Trophy. Jeid Rohnson (104 Pts in 68 games): Rohnson has had an amazing season so far in the sixty-eight games he has played for the Halifax 21 VHLM franchise. Based on the last two seasons in the VHLM, normally a 104-point season would almost guarantee a first place finish in the VHLM points race. Unfortunately for Rohnson, in Season Ninety, his Halifax based team hasn’t been a top team in the league, which may also hold Rohnson from having even more points. Regardless if Rohnson over takes Ironhide with the remaining games, one thing for certain is Rohnson will be in the conversation for more than the Ethan Osborne Trophy come seasons end.

1. What's up, Marauders?! New week, new teammates! After having to drop a couple of players for inactivity, we've also acquired forward Logan Ninefingers @Scurvy for the remaining season and into playoffs. What are you looking forward to in your new teammate? A: Not only has Ninefingers been putting forward a great effort on the ice, he's been a very vocal part of the lockerroom since joining. I look forward to watching him grow into a star in the league. 2. We have a few superstars on the team on the leaderboards -- what could this mean come playoffs? A: Hopefully is means those superstars will step forward and lead the team. The team is pretty top heavy, but if the superstars carry the weight, it allows the depth players to play their roles, which will allow the whole team to gel. 3. What is your player currently working on in the practice facility? A: Just getting to the point of being a viable option to put on the ice. Making sure I'm not a liability once on the ice with poor skating and scoring. 4. What are your player's future aspirations as they progress in their career? A: I hope to be a consistent contributor on a VHL team for 7 to 8 seasons. 5. What's your favorite dinner dish? A: Meatloaf and Mac and cheese 6. Have you ever gone skiing before? A: Yes, lived in Canada my entire life, so a few times at least.

Riley Martin Right Winger 6’2 210 lbs. 18 Years Old Riley Martin isn’t the prototypical hockey player, specifically as he hails from the state of Mississippi. The state of Mississippi has only one Mississippi born player in NHL history. While the Victory Hockey League is a different breed than the NHL, Martin has an uphill battle ahead of him. With not much known about Martin prior to his arrival to the VHL, but a few scouts who have seen the youngster play in the Ottawa District Minor Hockey “B” League (OBMHL) with the Mississippi Thunder Kings had the following thigs to say about Martins play style. Pros: Skating: One thing Martin has been able to see the rewards of from his hard work is his skating ability. Martin put forth extra effect in perfecting his skating stride ensuring he is getting the most power out of his proper stride. Martin continues to work on increasing this stride range of motion and increasing his propulsive force, making sure he is not too tall while on the ice surface. Hard work off the ice continues daily for Martin to continuously improve his skating. Puck Handling: Martin also ties his puck/stick handling work into his skating work off the ice, which has helped him work those two abilities hand in hand. Martin has worked hard o his puck handling skills over the years, including ensuring his top hand on the stuck is doing most of the work while also keeping his hands and shoulders loose. With top notch skating abilities and puck handling skills, Martin should be able to put up close to a point per game. Cons: Discipline: Martin seems to lack the discipline that is required to play professional hockey. Martin plays much like you would expect an individual who is playing recreational hockey, running all over the ice surface looking to make an impact play. Martin also seems to lack the discipline that is required to stay out of the penalty box. Martin only played 66 games of regular season hockey with his previous teams but was able to put up 100 penalty minutes in those 66 games. Martin will need to keep his mind in the game to stay disciplined in his role, while also keeping his emotions in check to stay out of the penalty box. Experience: As previously stated, Martin only has 66 games of regular season competitive hockey under his belt. Martin will need all the games in the VHLM and VHLE to ensure he is ready for the next step in professional hockey. With so few games in a competitive stage, Martins’ lack of experience early on might be his biggest issue.

Early Life Riley Martin (born September 6th, 2005) is an American-born Canadian professional ice hockey right currently under contract to the Miami Marauders of the Victory Hockey League (VHL). Martin was born in Natchez Mississippi just a few months after his parents moved to the Mississippi town to work in the Natchez High School, where Martins father was starting a new role in the school as educator and football coach. Growing up in Mississippi, Martin was always found with his dad in the locker-room of the Natchez Bulldogs, which ironically would do Martin wonders when he moved into hockey. After spending countless hours in the locker room as an audience member, Martin joined the football team in Grade Nine when he graduated from Elementary School and began his High School career. It was on a team trip to Biloxi Mississippi in Grade 9 that Martin first laid eyes on a hockey game, after the football team went to see the Mississippi Sea Wolves in their first years back as a franchise in 2022. Later that week, Martin approached his father with his request to quit the football team and search for a hockey team to join. Playing Career At 15 years old and with no previous skating experience, Martin went looking for his next opportunity in sports, this time on an ice surface. Martin turned his attention to the Mississippi Thunder Kings hockey program In Ontario Canada, who runs an Under-10 up to Under-18 program. After signing up for the Open Tryouts with no expectations, Martin made it past rookie camp into the main camp with the Thunder Kings. After cracking the main roster after all the rookie and training camps, Martin started the season on the team’s fourth line, where the coaches thought Martin would be best fitted to start his career in hockey, while learning on the go. While his tenure with the U-14 Thunder Kings would only last one season, Martin accumulated 10 points in the 28 games he played in that season with the Mississippi Mills Ontario based hockey club. The following season, after much deliberation on what to do next, Martin returned to Mississippi Ontario this time to try out for the U-16 Thunder Kings. With higher expectations than the previous year in camp, it appeared the pressure got to Martin, as he did not make the main roster out of training camp. Martin returned to his hometown in Natchez to return to his family and continue with his education back at Natchez High School. Martin continued to keep in contact with the Thunder Kings coaching staff throughout the season, and with injuries mounting for the team, they asked Martin to return to Ontario to re-start his hockey career. When Martin returned to the Thunder Kings, there were only 10 games remaining, but Martin was determined to match his point total from 28 games last season, and he did just that. In the 10 games played with the Thunder Kings, Martin was able to put up 21 points in those 10 games, which was enough to make sure the teams’ coaches took notice. After the season ended, the team extended the opportunity for Martin to return the following season. At 17 years old, Martin returned to the Thunder Kings with the only expectation to make the team as a top six forward. With a year and a half of hockey under his belt, not only were Martins expectations higher, but the team and coaches alike also expected Martin to show better than he did the previous training camp. It seemed like being cut after last season’s training camp lit a fire under Martin, as he continued his strong play from his 16-year-old season into training camp and pre-season games. With his strong showing, Martin was told he would be making the main roster as the team moved into the regular season, Martin was also surprised by his teammates and coaches when he was announced as a member of the leadership team for the Thunder Kings, as Martin would be wearing the “A” on his sweater. It was an unexpected turn of events for Martin, just a year away from being cut the season prior. Martin paid management back for their vote of confidence in naming Martin a leader, with Martin putting up 49 points in the 28 games played. The Thunder Kings would also go onto to make the post-season where Martin would go onto put up another 10 points in the 12 playoff games that Martin and the Thunder Kings played in. After the conclusion of the season, Martin who was 17 years old was about to graduate from the Thunder Kings program, as Martin would be hitting 18 years of age prior to the start of the next season. Martin has now switched his focus to the next stage of his hopefully professional hockey career, as Martin has recently declared for the Season Ninety-Two VHL Entry Draft in the Victory Hockey League. Only time will tell if Martin can continue his upward progression this time in the VHL.

Martin Ready for VHLM Debut After coming to an agreement on a one year 1.5-million-dollar contract yesterday with the Miami Marauders late on September 18th, 2023, Riley is head to finally pull on his first professional hockey jersey. After playing in semi pro leagues around Mississippi the last few seasons, Martin couldn’t hold back his excitement when he first got to the Mississauga Hounds arena earlier today for the Marauders contest again Mississauga tonight in VHLM Game 284. Riley has been training hard this week looking forward to this opportunity and will be just two practice hours away from putting in a full weeks’ worth of practice and we are only on Tuesday in the week. So far early indications from practice today show that Riley will more than likely make his debut on the second line for the time being. The Marauders and Martin only have fifteen games remaining in the season, Martin will have to get to work immediately is he expects to have any impact In his upcoming short tenure with the Miami based VHLM franchise.

1) Who is your favourite to win the VHL Championship this season? - Hopefully LA can finally win one. Would be great for their fanbase to finally see that championship 2) Do you think the changes to the VHLE worked out ok? - The whole VHLE is quite a difference change for someone like me. I am not sure how it was run since its inception, but it seems to be working now. 3) Have you ever been in a hurricane? - Technically no, I was in a tropical storm in November 2022 in Florida. 1) What is one thing a new or returning member must do first in the VHL? 2) Who is the best VHLer in the past 5 seasons? 3) Have you ever been in a Blizzard

Martin Looking Forward to VHL Debut The self-described alien contactee, Riley Martin has shifted his focus from looking for Unidentified Flying Objects to focusing on carving out a role in the Victory Hockey League. No one would expect an individual born in Natchez Mississippi to gravitate towards hockey, but after stumbling upon a game featuring the Mississippi Sea Wolves of the Federal Prospects Hockey League, Riley was hooked. Of course, growing up in Natchez didn’t prove the same opportunities in hockey that others in America might have experienced in colder climate states, so Martin knew he had an uphill battle ahead of him. From that point forward Riley was fully engaged in everything hockey, including heading to YouTube to look up highlights from the past Mississippi Sea Wolves rosters. One player that caught the eye of Riley was Steffon Walby, who played the last three years of his professional career with the Sea Wolves from 2001 until 2004. Walby was a high scoring right winger in his time with the Sea Wolves, and Riley wanted to be just like Walby. Riley wanted to be a balanced high scoring winger that also saw value in setting up teammates for goals just as much as burying the puck in the net himself. That day Riley went to his parents and told them of his dreams to play Ice Hockey, something neither of his parents had any history with. Fast forward to September 2023, and Riley now has ten years of hockey under his belt and looks ready to take on the next opportunity. That opportunity comes in the form of the long running professional hockey league, the VHL. The VHL came to the attention of Riley and his family after running into an agency that is familiar with the VHL, the Smarch agency. After many failed attempts made by this agency to have a star player in the league, Riley might be the last chance for the agency to bring a player to the league that may make a difference. Riley is ready to hit the ice running, but with very little known about the Mississippi native, one must wonder if a team will take a chance for the rest of the year on the unknown winger. When the Natchez Democrat reached out to Martin on his arrival to the VHL, the community newspaper asked Martin his thoughts on which team caught his eye prior to declaring for the league. San Diego Marlins: The current leader in the Western Conference, the Marlins would be an obvious choice to join for most new players to the league. With only eight losses on the season, the Marlins look poised to make some noise if they continue their play into the post-season. With great weather and an amazing roster, the choice to join San Diego would be a smart one, unless you are looking to make more of a name for yourself, as the team is stocked full of top end talent. Riley made it clear when we talked to him that he would look at the Marlins if they were to approach Martin jumping on board for the playoff run. Martin also may look towards joining San Diego due to his familiarity with current General Manager Arce. Arce and the Smarch agency has spent a bit of time together over their VHL Careers, which may help Martin gravitate that way. Saskatoon Wild: Saskatoon takes the next spot in the Western Conference, currently holding onto second place behind the Marlins. Saskatoon at this time has quite a full roster, with ten forwards already holding positions on the roster. While Saskatoon is an attractive option due to the season they are currently having, the big roster might be enough to make Riley second guess is Saskatoon is the right spot to start his career in the league. Las Vegas Aces: Las Vegas is next in the Western Conference in the third spot. Vegas has put together a decent season and currently holds the third spot in the conference by quite a margin over the fourth place Mexico City Kings. Las Vegas is a roster that could use some help in the forward department with only one 200 TPA player currently on the roster in Season Eighty-Eight draftee journeyman VHLMer Quinndillus Whopper. Las Vegas was listed as a very interesting option when we discussed the next steps with Martin, as they will be heading to the playoffs and there is quite a bit of room for a motivated new player to make an impact immediately on the roster. Mexico City Kings: So far, the 90th Season in the VHL hasn’t really gone to plan, for the Mexico City Kings. Mexico currently sits in fourth place in the Western Conference, eight overall in the VHLM, which is the last playoff spot for the VHLM. With the two teams that are below them currently, not looking like they will catch Mexico City, the Kings might be another viable option for a player looking to make an impact on a roster that should be playoff bound. Mexico City also calls to Martin with his upbringing in a non-traditional hockey state. With only five players on the roster at forward, Martin might be able to jump right into a top six role if he so chooses to head on down to Mexico. Houston Bulls: The last team in the Western Conference, the Houston Bulls are the only team currently in the conference that are not playoff bound. While the Bulls appear to not be playoff bound, the roster is appealing from a standpoint that new players should be given every opportunity to help the Bulls roster immediately. Another strong factor that might pull Martin to the Bulls for the remainder of the season is the fact the teams General Manager is someone the Smarch agency has been around previously and it quite comfortable with the management team. Mississauga Hounds: Currently sitting in first place, the Mississauga Hounds have been tuning up to the playoffs this past week and are currently on a four-game winning streak. With a top end team, Mississauga might not have a place on their roster for Martin. Currently the team has four forwards at 200 TPA, including Season Ninety-One draftee, Grimgor Ironhide. With two full lines of forwards and a roster that has clearly gelled together in the first fifty-four games this season, adding a new body might not be in the best interest of either the team or player. Miami Marauders: Next up in the standings currently in second place in the Eastern Conference, Miami might be a playoff bound team that might need some extra forward help. Miami currently has two players at the 200 TPA threshold, but their third best player just under the 200 TPE threshold hasn’t been seen at practice for a few months. Another non-traditional hockey area, Miami’s roster needs and reminders of home for Martin, might be enough for him to give consideration to joining the Marauders if asked. Philadelphia Reapers: The Reapers are currently in a fight for playoff positioning in their own conference and in the overall VHLM standings. Philadelphia currently has forty-eight points on the season, which puts them currently in sixth place overall in the league, just five and six points up on seventh and eighth place respectively. The Reapers are in desperate need of help on offense, as the team only has four players currently listed as forwards, with only two of those players currently over 100 TPA. With not much competition on the roster, Martin could hopefully step in and assist the team in a big way. Halifax 21st: The most eastern point in the VHLM, the Halifax 21st are currently clinging to the second last playoff spot in the league. While Halifax hasn’t played as well as their fans and management alike would have hoped, the team still has quite a bit of star power on the roster, including season ninety-one draftee Theo Allard. Halifax has putting up points consistently this season, with 170 goals for, which is only 24 goals behind the best goals for in the league, which would indicate their offensive isn’t to blame for where Halifax currently finds themselves in the standings. With the team currently having the worst goals against in the league, adding another forward in Martin might not be the best interest for the team in case another defender comes up on waivers soon. Ottawa Lynx: Hockey in Ottawa hasn’t been a hot draw these past few seasons. With twenty-seven points on the season, Ottawa is on pace to miss the playoffs for the second time in three seasons. Season ninety hasn’t been kind to Ottawa, but that must be expected for most Lynx fans and management, as the team currently has just six skaters on the roster, including only four forwards, including journeyman Thijs Mooij currently the highest TPA forward on the roster. With Ottawa not expecting to make the post-season Riley doesn’t necessarily see himself heading to Ottawa for the rest of the regular season. 1,511 Words (3 Weeks September 18th, September 25th, October 2nd)

1. We actually win games, way more than I would have imagined. So that’s a big positive I would say. 2. I would say overall the biggest surprise is how little the first 20ish games seem to mean in a VHL season the last few years. Lots of teams that begin the season on a hot streak seem to end up 4th,5th and even 6th at the end of the year. 3. London’s pretty bumping on a weekend game night. 4. Rock 5. Spotify, I mean I can listen to 30 seconds ads every now and then but 9.99 for three month deals bring me back. 6. Annoying summer things die (mosquitoes, etc)
