A Brief History of @dylanjj37's VHLMers Part 1
 

 
I'm sure most of you know Dylan by now, he's definitely a character. Even if you don't know him, you've probably heard of his players. He has an interesting habit of creating career VHLMers. He's been doing this since S67 and we still don't know why. This week I thought we'd break down these players and talk about their woes, successes, and more! Without further ado, I bring to you:
 
Alex Armstrong
Alex was created during the 67th season of the VHLM. He was a defenseman and played for a total of four teams in his career. When he was first created he joined the Halifax 21st. He had a pretty brutal stat line of 23GP, 0G, 4A, and a meager 12 shots that season. Luckily, he was going to drastically improve the next season. Alex was drafted 61st overall in the S68 draft. He packed his bags and hopped on the first train to Mexico City. Alex played every game this season and racked up a solid 45 points. His intangibles were the best that they'd be in his career logging 153 hits and 159 shots blocked. For a defensive defenseman, he looked to be a great late round pick by Mexico. At the start of S69 (heh) Alex got a call that he had been traded to the Yukon Rush (rest in peace). Here he thought he could have an even better season. Well, he was wrong. The Rush were abysmal that year, barely squeaking into the playoffs. Once again, Alex's team was swept in the first round of the playoffs. Alex ended up scoring 58 points that year, but his intangibles had regressed to 106 hits and 142 shots blocked. After a tough year, it was rumored that Alex demanded a trade, and a trade he got. In the offseason Alex learned that he had been traded to the Minnesota Storm (also RIP). The storm were the top team in the VHLM that year, and helped young Alex get his first award. The Founders Cup! Alex was on point per game pace the entire season and ended up with 79 points to his name. While he was improving his offensive capabilities, he regressed even further with his intangibles, having only 79 hits and 95 shots blocked. Once again, it was rumored Alex wanted to go to a different contender and ended up being traded back to Yukon in the offseason. This was truly Alex's breakout year. In S71, Alex dominated all defensemen with 127 points. For his efforts, he was awarded the Ryan Sullivan Trophy. His intangibles also improved this season, but were still far behind that of S68. Although the Rush were a top team in the VHLM that season, and Alex put up Connor McDavid numbers, they ended up falling short in the playoffs. At this point our story of Alex Armstrong must end. He retired that offseason. He had a great career!
 
Rick Osman
Rick was immediately created after Alex had retired. In fact, they briefly played together in S71, where Rick played 18 games. Another defenseman, Rick originally signed with Mississauga and put up a whopping 9 points that year. Rick was in the season 72 draft and was taken 30th overall by Halifax. Rick would stay with Halifax for much of his career. In his draft year, S72, Rick had the best overall stats of his career. He put up 36 points with intangibles that could make a coach cry. He ended the season with 163 hits and 177 shots blocked. Unfortunately, it was all downhill from there. In S73, his stats had begun regressing HARD. I know +/- is a team stat, but Rick ended the season with a -63. To make matters worse, he regressed in his intangibles, only putting up 134 hits and 120 shots blocked. Weirdly enough, Rick didn't see much of an increase at all in offensive capability. He ended with only 37 points. This season was a tough year for Rick, but it would only get worse moving forward. Starting the final year of his rookie contract, it appears Rick was hit with a bus, because that's the only explanation for his play in S74. While Rick did have a career high of 65 points this season, he didn't really do any defending. I checked with a couple coaches and they all agreed that you need to be able to play defense if you're a defenseman. Rick ended the season with a meager 55 hits, and 73 shots blocked. He had cut his intangibles by 3/4 from his draft season. Despite Rick doing his best to drag the team down, Halifax ended up being the top team in the VHLM that year. In partial thanks to Rick, Halifax brutally lost in 7 games against Miami in the first round. They pulled what we call a Boston Bruins. After such a brutal playoff run by the best team in the league, Rick decided it would be best to re-sign with Halifax. However, in the plot twist of his career, Rick was dealt to Saskatoon at the trade deadline. This season was another sad year for Rick. He regressed heavily in points and did not improve much with his intangibles. He ended the season with 52 points, 76 hits, and 98 shots blocked. Saskatoon did make the playoffs that year, but once again lost in 7 games in the first round. After game 7 Rick was seen throwing his hockey gear in the trash and yelling "I quit". He retired that offseason. In six seasons, Rick was unable to win any awards, score many points, and he never made it past the first round of the playoffs. This is how the story of Rick "did nothing" Osman ends, not with a bang, but with a whimper.
 
That's the end of part one! In a couple weeks I will be releasing part two and cover the two most recent players Dylan has created, one of which is still active.

I am down to run it back!!

I am down to run it back!!

I am down to run it back!!

Gotta know when to fold em 🥲

1. Juan doesn't need the question since he won't be answering the presser if he believes tpe is a scam!
 
2. Scoring and more scoring... Who needs defense when they can help Ronald Johnson MacWallace III achieve his dreams of being the top goalscorer.
 
3. Probably will work out to be good for a rebuild going into next season.
 
4. Gonna be really tough now, we will need to see some improvements from every player.
 
5.  I see Mexico City winning it, they have have the deepest roster for sure.
 
6. I don't keep up with either rof those leagues. They are irrelevant since Ronald Johnson MacWallace III is not playing in them.

I will be number 1 in due time.

Note: Stats and Standings are updated as of Sunday, April 23rd.
 

 
Current Rank: 1
Record: 23 - 8 - 5
Last 10 Games: 9 - 1 - 0
Place in Standings: 1
Standout Player: Ross Glagau @Zetterberg 22 wins, 0.917 SV%, 2.42 GAA in 35 games played
 
The Mexico City Kings have been sitting on their thrones as the team to chase this season in the VHLM. After losing the Founder's Cup Finals prior in S87, the Kings haven't missed a stride since and look to punch their ticket back to the playoffs with ease this season. Mexico's power 3 of Justin Williams @JCV, Alex DeLuca @Deluca, and Noel Roux Jr @Da Trifecta all find themselves in the league's top 5 of either goals or assists. Mexico also has veteran Ross Glagau @Zetterberg in their final VHLM season returning between the pipes to shut everything down. This team is looking strong and dangerous, seemingly front runners of winning the Prime Minister's Cup for a second season in a row. What is in the way to stop them? The Mississauga Hounds who the Kings are currently 2-5-0 against. If Mexico can figure those Hounds out, it should be smooth sailing ahead.
 

 
Current Rank: 2
Record: 22 - 11 - 3
Last 10 Games: 5 - 4 - 1
Place in Standings: 2
Standout Player: Reginald the Dodo @Esso2264 15 goals, 34 assists, 49 points in 36 games played
 
With a pretty mediocre last 10 games played, the Mississauga Hounds still easily deserve to sit at number 2 in these rankings. Acting as Mexico's father this season, although Mississauga has been hovering just under Mexico City for the top of the standings, Mississauga has beaten the top seed in 5 of 7 matchups so far. The Hounds bring intense depth to the table with 7 rostered skaters achieving over 30 points in just 36 games played. Reginald the Dodo @Esso2264, Mclean Hoover II @McLean Hoover, and Robert Boldy @The Goblin all have surpassed 40 points, with Dodo and Hoover sitting in the league top 5 in points, Dodo also leads all defensemen in points. This team is stacked and will be a cup contender for sure. Does this team have an Achilles heel of their own? Of course they do! San Diego has bullied Mississauga in their 3 game regular season series so far, winning all 3 matchups. San Diego is 1 point shy of Mississauga and could be a problem for the Hounds down the stretch.
 

 
Current Rank: 3
Record: 22 - 12 - 2
Last 10 Games: 7 - 2 - 1 
Place in Standings: 3
Standout Player: Sjin @Mint 25 goals, 32 assists, 57 points in 36 games played
 
The Marlins are playing like the S86 Marlins again! This San Diego Marlins team is not one to overlook. With 25 goals, 32 assists and 57 points in 36 games played, Sjin @Mint has been dialed in and creating majority of San Diego's offense. When Sjin has their night's off though, league leader in Wins, SV%, and GAA Olivier Gauthier @fonziGG is there to mimic a literal wall in the crease. Gauthier has been a nightmare for goal scoring teams giving San Diego the least GA in the league with 89 goals against in 36 games played. San Diego is the last of these top 3 teams who I truly believe have the best chances of winning the Founder's Cup right now. San Diego has been struggling with Mexico this season though, so each one of these three teams has some figuring out to do to decide who takes it home.
 

 
Current Rank: 4
Record: 20 - 12 - 4
Last 10 Games: 5 - 5 - 0
Place in Standings: 4
Standout Player: Pope Francis @nurx 11 goals, 32 assists, 43 points in 36 games played
 
The Halifax 21st in my eyes are the most underrated team in the league. Pope Francis @nurx has been controlling the 21st’s blue line all season, ranking second in league defensemen points, leading in shots blocked, and third in hits. Francis has been the fuel that started this Halifax flame. Francis does not do it all though, while Francis works the point, Tullemore Dew @Spade18 has been creating most of Halifax’s offence this season while being second in the league in points. Halifax may not have the most capped players, but this team sure knows how to play together as a team and their record shows. Halifax is my favorite under the radar team heading into trade deadline and I am excited to see how @ShawnGlade plays his cards.
 

 
Current Rank: 5
Record: 19 - 15 - 2
Last 10 Games: 8 - 2 - 0
Place in Standings: 6
Standout Player: LeBen Aky @Ben_Reformed 18 goals, 25 assists, 43 points in 36 games played
 
The Philadelphia Reapers after a quiet start to S88 have recently turned the tables and won 8 of their last 10 games. This team is on the rise with arguably the best goalie duo in the league. Karl Herzlich @LastGoon007 is at the heart of the operation as Philly’s main starter for the beginning of S88, and recent pickup Jeffrey Blake @ElementStyx9 who could start for basically any other team in the league as backup, will split games with Herzlich down the stretch. Philadelphia’s offense is run by 4th season veteran LeBen Aky @Ben_Reformed, and after that the depth starts to fade away. Philadelphia’s biggest problem heading into these playoffs is their current quantity over quality of players. Behind the blue line they are set, but when you look at the forwards you see a lot of talented players who are just too underdeveloped right now. For a cup to come back to Philadelphia this season, that forward core either needs to shake up or wake up!
 

 
Current Rank: 6
Record: 18 - 13 - 5
Last 10 Games: 4 - 5 - 1
Place in Standings: 5
Standout Player: Nick Sansoe @Tipskid97 13 goals, 27 assists, 40 points in 36 games played
 
The Miami Marauders are slowly entering the “mid” category of this league. With an impressive start to the season, Miami’s on a bit of a bumpy road currently in their last 10 games. Nick Sansoe @Tipskid97 and Sergei Romanov @WithARevelYell have been leading the way for Miami with 40 points each on the season. This team just really lacks depth though! When you go down the list of goal scorers, in my eyes you spot only four for Miami. With AGM jose avocado @Bobo starting in net now for the Marauders, hopefully we can see some changes to recent results and an upcoming roar for Miami! The Marauders currently sit third last in goals for, only ahead of Saskatoon and Ottawa, so bringing in another forward who can score could be the missing puzzle piece to Miami's S88 story.
 

 
Current Rank: 7
Record: 17 - 16 - 3
Last 10 Games: 4 - 6 - 0
Place in Standings: 8
Standout Player: Viktor Jensen @Advantage 20 goals, 17 assists, 37 points in 36 games played
 
The Houston Bulls have been hovering around the middle of the pack throughout the entire first half of the season. Currently 8th in the standings, the Bulls are hanging on decently strong to a playoff spot, 7 points ahead of Saskatoon. Viktor Jensen @Advantage, Erik Andersson @Ace, and Devon Giguere @omniscius in net have been a few bright spots in Houston's mediocre season so far. Although the Bulls have seen a tough schedule, playing 19 out of 36 games against Mexico City, Mississauga, and San Diego who all sit top 3 to lead the league standings. With more teams around .500 in their future schedule, the Bulls could potentially climb the standings heading closer to the Trade Deadline. Until then, Houston needs to put in the work unless they want to see their rivals again in Mexico City in the first round of playoffs.
 

 
Current Rank: 8
Record: 16 - 13 - 7
Last 10 Games: 5 - 3 - 2
Place in Standings: 7
Standout Player: Ronald Johnson MacWallace II @RJMW  20 goals, 27 assists, 47 points in 36 games played
 
The Las Vegas Aces continue to figure out their season reaching the halfway point. The Aces enjoy a record above .500, but find themselves 7th in the league standings. Las Vegas relies on their scoring from 5 main skaters who all have surpassed 40 points already. MacWallace II @RJMW leads the way for Vegas with 47 points, followed close by stud defenseman Leo Lewkowicz @BeanSobie who sits top 3 in league points by defenseman. Vegas has just recently found a starting goaltender in Linden Moore @orbit who should provide some security in net each night. The Aces still have a good shot at being great and this should be decided very soon. Las Vegas hopes to build stronger in order to repeat their Founder's Cup successes not too many seasons ago.
 
 

 
Current Rank: 9
Record: 13 - 19 - 4
Last 10 Games: 0 - 7 - 3
Place in Standings: 9
Standout Player: Darko Alexander Malkovich @AColdCanadian 5 goals, 30 assists, 35 points in 36 games played
 
The most hated team by STHS this season award goes to… the Saskatoon Wild! The Saskatoon Wild recently came off an upsetting S87, which led them to a spectacular draft in S88. Saskatoon has built a tight core of talented skaters but only one has over a point per game so far this season. Their goaltending is the weak spot of this franchise and I believe that if Saskatoon can trade for a playoff ready goaltender then we will see them in a first round matchup. For this to happen multiple players need to step up. Tord Yvel @Trazan, 5th overall Wild draft pick under a point per game, Otis Boudreauz Jr @Otis Boudreaux Jr 21st overall Wild pick under a point per game… the list goes on, but as these players keep earning TPE, and Saskatoon’s depth starts to shape up, then this team will be ready to roll.
 

 
Current Rank: 10
Record: 10 - 24 - 2
Last 10 Games: 3 - 5 - 2
Place in Standings: 10
Standout Player: Harry Callahan @dstevensonjr 12 goals, 14 assists, 26 points in 36 games played
 
It is never fun being at the bottom of the barrel, and the reigning Founder's Cup Champions are feeling that pain right now. The Lynx are currently going through a rebuild season and hope to make a comeback in S89 with a loaded draft class upcoming. Ottawa has still seen some recent success though and have four players over 30 points in 36 games played. Lucky Mitts @Gmoneyman52 leads the team in goals with 14 and points with 35, and Michael Perk Lund @YourSweetBaboo has been finding their legs as the team's starter with 2 shutouts already this season. Ottawa has a bright future to come and can hopefully fight their way to a playoff spot this season.
