1. With two seasons now under the belts in the VHL, what are your hopes for the next step for the Stars in the off-season? 2. 27-38-7 in the second season of existence isn't bad given the poor players you get in the VHL expansion draft, would a sub .500 season be a bust, next year? 3. With a likely top 5 pick in the upcoming VHL Entry Draft, which position is the biggest need for L.A? 4. What do you need to work on as a player as we enter the off-season? 5. What are your hopes for your player next season? 6. Thoughts on discord being axed for now?

1. Who's winning rookie of the year? Doug should but wont cause the VHL is biased. 2. With the season almost finished, who's your prediction for winning the cup? Mscow looks like a good bet right now as the close in on 100 points. 3. The VHLM is PACKED, do you think there will be an expansion in the minors? Hopefully not right away, we got to ensure we have the base to handle expansion 5-10 season, not just in the now. 4. With everyone once again getting stuck at home, how're you keeping busy? We are not really stuck at home here, but I keep busy going for walks after work. Lots of Dogs and dog crap to look at. 5. What game are you playing right now? Any you're excited for coming out soon? I play sports games, so I’m kinda of interested i the NHL Be a Pro after seeing a little about it. Game will likely still suck. 6. Any steals on prime day this year No deals just Christmas presents for everyone else

2 assists and 7 hits and a win, nice!

1. NHL FA is in full swing, anything that has surprised you thus far? I don’t what has surprised me, but I can tell you that I’m not surprised by the shit Jets moves. 2. With the TDL approaching, are you surprised to see any teams where they are in the standings? I am still surprised by Chicago, I don’t think they have the horses to be where they are. 3. Are you excited for the new NHL 21 BAP mode? (I've been playing it for a bit, it's actually pretty fun) I’m sure I would if I knew anything about this. 4. We've only been a team for a full season, but are you seeing any rivalries forming? I don’t see any rivals yet, we are not a threat to anyone so I cannot see anyone being a rival yet. 5. If Halloween parties were possible this year, what would you be going as? The ghost in Anderson 6. What's your favorite pre-game meal? Good old steak and potatoes

Dream Team When you bring this name up to most sports fans, the number one response you will likely get is the 1992 United States Men’s Olympic basketball team. Of course that roster consisted of legends like David Robinson, Michael Jordon, Karl Malone, Magic Johnson and the teams lowest point differential was against Puerto Rico, which was a thirty-eight-point victory for the United States. While that was a great roster with many great Hall of Famers on it, today we are going to dig deep into the VHL drafts and compile a list of our Victory Hockey League Dream team of players selected outside the first rounds of the VHL Entry Drafts prior to Season Twenty. Forwards: Right Winger: Terence Fong (Continental Cup Winner - S7, S10; Drafted Thirteenth Overall by Avangard in Season Five) Starting on right wing you will find Season Five VHL Draftee Terence Fong, who was drafted by the then Avangard Havoc, now HC Davos Dynamo. Fong enjoyed a six year VHL career from Season Five to his retirement at the end of Season Ten. Fong would play 434 games during that time, amassing 178 goals and 222 assists. With almost a point per game pace over his career and two Continental Cups in his career, one with Avangard in Season Seven, and the other with Riga in Season Ten, Fong was one of the better players of the first ten seasons of the VHL. Left Winger: Jardy Bunclewirth (Continental Cup Winner – S18, S19, S23; Drafted Eighteenth Overall by Calgary in Season Sixteen) Bunclewirth was quite a character during his time in the VHL, specifically in Calgary. Bunclewirth came to the Wranglers organization after being drafted by the franchise Eighteenth Overall in Season Sixteen, and little did they know at the time Calgary was drafted a future legend. Bunclewirth went on to win three championships with the Wranglers, including back to back wins in Season Eighteen and Nineteen. Bunclewirth played in 432 games in the VHL with the Wranglers, putting up 291 goals and 398 assists, all while on his drunken way to the Hall of Fame. Center: Alex McNeil (Continental Cup Winner – S4, S5; Drafted Thirtieth Overall by Helsinki in Season One) The only player on our dream team that saw the first VHL season ever, Alex McNeil was one of the many colorful characters that graced the league in its early conception. McNeil played in six VHL seasons after being drafted in the Season One VHL Dispersal Draft by the Helsinki Titans Thirtieth Overall. Like many players in the VHL early days, McNeil never put on a Titans jersey after they drafted him, after the Titans traded McNeil to the Toronto Legion shortly after the selection to Helsinki was announced by the VHL. McNeil would play for three VHL teams over his six VHL seasons, ending his career with the Avangard Havoc in Season Six, but not before he put up great offensive numbers with 238 goals and 396 assists in 428 VHL games. Defenseman: Defense: Markus Sedin (Continental Cup Winner – S9, S12, S13; Drafted Thirtieth Overall by Toronto in Season Seven) Markus Sedin was one of the best defenseman to ever grace the VHL. Sedin was drafted by the Toronto Legion in the Season Seven VHL Entry draft and became a mainstay on the Legions blue-line for many seasons to come. Sedin played in an era of the VHL that was purely built around offensive powerhouse teams, but Sedin brought his style of two-way defensive hockey to Toronto the minute he stepped floor on the Legion practice facility. Sedin still was also able to hold his own offensively as he posted 130 goals and 319 assist in his eight year VHL career. With three different Continental Cup wins with three different franchises, one can say that Sedin was a winner no matter where he laid his roots. Defense: Harvey Singh (Continental Cup Winner – S14, S16; Drafted Twenty-Third Overall by New York in Season Twelve) Harvey Singh is a very interesting VHL story. Singh was drafted by the New York Americans Twenty-Third Overall in the Season Twelve VHL Entry Draft. Singh spent two developmental years in the VHLM before finally making his first appearance in the VHL during Season Fourteen for the Americans. Singh played in only 288 games before announcing his retirement, but he still managed to win two Continental Cups in his three season VHL career. Singh was able to win a Cup in his rookie Season with the Americans in Season Fourteen, and was then able to win a championship as a forward with the one of the Americans biggest rival Riga Reign in Season Sixteen. During his 288 game VHL career, Singh put up 129 goals and 160 assists to end his career with a point per game pace. Goaltender: Goaltender: Aiden Shaw (Continental Cup Winner – S21; Drafted Tenth Overall by Toronto in Season Eighteen) With the nine most wins in VHL history, Aiden Shaw might be considered a steal considering he wasn’t drafted in the VHL Entry Draft First Round. Thankfully for Toronto Shaw would fall to the Legion at Tenth Overall, and that selection would do the franchise wonders for many future seasons. If there was any indication that Shaw was destined for great things before entering the VHL, all you would have to do is look to his one VHLM season with Brampton in Season Eighteen. Shaw posted a 65-5-0 record along with a .923 save percentage and 2.77 goals against average, an amazing stat line given the VHLMs history to have players consistently close in on the 200-point plateau in that era. Shaw entered the VHL in Season Nineteen and although he didn’t have immediate success posting on twenty-nine wins in his regular season, Shaw got his feet wet and positioned to start his HOF path. After seven successful seasons in Toronto that included one Continental Cup win, four Aidan Shaw wins (then Tretiak Trophy for top goaltender), one Howe Trophy(Playoff MVP) and a Hall of Fame induction in Season Twenty-Six, one would say Shaw would find himself in the best of all time conversation.

No Looking Back As the Victory Hockey League enters the second half of the Season Seventy-Four, we thought it would be fun to look back at some of the Season Seventy-Four draftees that now half some VHL time under their belts. For many of the clubs and draftees, their full potential has yet to blossom, but as you will see from the following list, some draftees have already hit their stride, while some are struggling to adjust to the professional level of hockey they are now experiencing. Aloe Dear (First Overall – Warsaw Predators): After a lot of speculation leading up to the draft on who would actually be taken in the top spot by Warsaw, the Predators selected Danish Native Aloe Dear. After a dominating season in the VHLM in Season Seventy-Three with the Houston Bulls, that saw Dear put up forty-six goals and forty-nine assists, many fans around the league wondered if Dear could continue the offensive output at the next level for a franchise in just their second year of existence. So far Dear has responded with a very enthusiastically yes. Dear has played in all thirty-seven games for Warsaw this season, putting up sixteen goals and thirteen assists in his first thirty-seven games. Although the twenty-nine points only sits him ninth in rookie scoring this season, Predator fans and management are extremely happy with the first year forwards progression so far. Christian Mingle (Second Overall- Chicago Phoenix): Mingle was a late comer to the league last season and missed being selected in the Season Seventy-Three VHLM Dispersal Draft, so when Chicago took the Israeli forward at number two, it was the first time being drafted for Mingle. Not many that follow the league picked Mingle to climb all the way to Second Overall in the Season Seventy-Four VHL Entry draft, but Chicago clearly saw potential and a very reputable agency that brought Mingle into the league as major upsides. Now with thirty-six games now under his belt for the Phoenix, Mingle hasn’t been able to get his footing quite underneath him just yet. Mingle currently sits tied for last place on Chicago’s roster with just six goals and eight assists in those thirty-six games. Thankfully for Mingle and the rest of the Phoenix roster, the franchise is already one win away from tying their eighteen-win season from their inaugural campaign, so Mingles performance is somewhat flying under the radar. Venus Thightrap (Third Overall – Vancouver Wolves): Thightrap was another top end prospects whose name was floating around the First Overall conversation leading up to draft day, but in the end Thightrap fell to Third Overall, right into a perfect situation. Thightrap was another member of the offensive powerhouse Season Seventy-Three Houston Bulls roster, where Thightrap put up eye-popping numbers, including fifty-two goals and seventy-three assists in seventy-two VHLM regular season games last season. Thightrap has continued that torrid offensive pace in the Wolves thirty-six games they played so far this season putting up eleven goals and twenty-three assists, numbers good enough to place Thightrap in sixth on the rookie scoring list. The perfect situation that we referred to earlier may have a lot to do with the high offensive production Thightrap is experiencing so early on, as Vancouver currently sits in the top spot in the North American Conference, which will help drive point totals up for most of the roster. No matter the reason that Thightrap is performing this season, I’m sure Wolves fans and management are wishing it to continue for this season and future seasons as well. Emi Rune (Fourth Overall – Vancouver Wolves): After picking up a superstar in the making with the selection of Thightrap Third Overall, the Wolves turned their attention to obtaining another superstar on the defense side of the ice. Emi Rune comes to the Wolves after spending just a little over a full-season with the Saskatoon Wild of the VHLM. After winning a Founders Cup with the Wild in Season Seventy-Two, the Wild brought back Rune with the Twenty-Four Overall pick in the Season Seventy-Three VHLM Dispersal Draft. Now with the body of work Rune has tallied up in the VHLM and through the first thirty-six games in the VHL this season, many have to wonder what those twenty-three selections before Rune looked like in the VHLM Dispersal Draft. Rune has started off in the VHL as strong as well, putting up three goals and twenty-four assists from the backend for the Wolves, which also ties Rune for second on the Wolves roster for defenseman scoring. Currently Rune sits just on the outside of top ten rookies in the VHL in points, but with a strong core around Rune and an amazing work ethic to match, Rune will likely show up on the leaderboard sooner than later. Dough Dimmadome (Fifth Overall – Los Angeles Stars): Dimmadome was the first goaltender to her their names called on draft night, although many didn’t expect a goalie to go in the top five, especially with not many clubs looking to shore up a netminder on draft night. While the selection of Dimmadome hasn’t paid off for the Stars as of yet in the standings, the fifty-year-old is standing on his head just to keep the Stars within striking distance each night. Currently after playing in thirty-five games for the Stars this season Dimmadome sits third in the league with a .918 save percentage. Dimmadome also finds himself second in the losses column for VHL goalies, but as clearly demonstrated by his .918 save percentage on 1328 shots, Dimmadome cannot be at fault for many of those nineteen losses. With what appears at this point to be the netminder of the future for the Stars roster, the club cannot turn to building a better roster in front of Dummadome to help him out. Onde Sandstrom (Sixth Overall – Vancouver Wolves): With their third selection in the first six choices in the VHL Entry Draft, the Wolves went back to the forward pool to help stock the cupboards. Vancouver ended up grabbing Swedish right-winger Onde Sandstorm, who was coming off a sixty-seven-point performance in Season Seventy-Three with the Las Vegas Aces of the VHLM. While Sandstorm hasn’t performed as well as the other Wolves draftees from the Season Seventy-Four VHL Entry Draft, his six goals and ten assists is not awful for a rookie straight out of the most recent draft. Sandstorm also brings a physical presence to the Wolves roster as well, with his seventy-four hits placing his tied for the fourth most hits on the Wolves roster. As Sandstorm closes in on 400 practice hours on his young career, Sandstorm and the Wolves are hoping for a little more output as the season winds down. Markus Schauer (Seventh Overall – New York Americans): The second defenseman off the board during the Season Seventy-Four VHL Entry Draft, Schauer and the Americans are not where they want to be at this point of the season. Schauer was selected by the Americans Seventh Overall after putting up an impressive twenty-four goals and eighty-five assists for the Houston Bulls last season in the VHLM. After putting up over one hundred points last season in the VHLM, the expectations were very high for Schauer, and those expectations hit the celling when the Americans came calling. Schauer joins a franchise that is looking to get back to their winning ways, as the team now enters their twenty-first consecutive VHL season without a championship. The Americans currently have only fifteen wins on the season, and Schauer is also experiencing an offensive power outage with eight goals and ten assists in his thirty-eight games played in his rookie season. When times are tough you need to look for the positives in what may feel like a black hole, and Schauer should be doing that with his shots blocked total. Schauers’ eight-five shots blocked currently lead the Americans and also places his ninth in the league in shots blocked. With very little time behind them, the good thing for Schauer and the Americans is, there is plenty of time moving forward to turn the ship around. John LeClair II (Eighth Overall- Prague Phantoms): Coming into the VHL draft, LeClair made it very clear to the VHL that he is very much like his namesake in the VHL, he is going to make you pay physically each and every shift. After being drafted by the San Diego Marlins, Ninth Overall in the Season Seventy-Three VHLM Dispersal Draft, LeClair was able to showcase his physical game, as the American power forward amassed 355 hits over seventy-two VHLM regular season games last year with the Marlins. LeClair was also able to show his offensive upside as well last season as he put up eighteen goals and sixteen assists as well in those seventy-two games. LeClair has continued that hitting pace through his first thirty-seven games with 153 hits throughout those games this season in the VHL, which is the seventh best total in the VHL as of writing this article. LeClair has chipped in slightly offensively too with his six goals and six assists, but if you ask LeClair, I’m sure he would be the first to admit he would certainly like more at the thirty-seven game mark. This won't be for this week with the announcement of the theme week while I was 1200 words into this. I will edit to post the dates in the near future. *For Weeks or Oct 19-25 Oct 26-Nov 1 Nov 2-8 Nov 9-15*
