Holy, did I drop the ball there lmao

@K1NG LINUS lmaooooo saw it on the standings man, sorta true

Wednesday Night VHLM game between Saskatoon Wild and the Halifax 21st was a fierce battle. In the first period, the Saskatoon Wild’s Hayden Clarkson scored in the 14th minute, assisted by Anthony Amberback and Kip Baier. The second period however was very back and forth between the two teams, goals from Tormund Giantsbane, Rocky LaGarza and Nethila Dissanayake for the Wild whereas goals from Van Lagen and Gaudette to return. However the score was 4-2 and Halifax goalie, Thorvald Gunnarsson had 10 saves from 14 shots and was changed to Michael Johnson at the 4 minute mark for the second period. Michael Johnson came into the match and changed the game completely with 13 saves from 13 shots. Nacho from Halifax scored the lone goal in the third and while Halifax still lost this game, the change in goalie looked to have inspired the team on. Although it was not enough. Both teams are doing great, with Saskatoon leading the league with Philidelphia whereas Halifax is 5th.

You, you're going to be a star too

So he does

But does he have Bo's elite head shape?

The first time I had met Thranduil, which was a bout a week ago, was an incredibly motivating experience. On my past teams in the Burnaby Winter Club, I never had somebody point out the little intricacies to my game. I just knew that Thranduil will be the guy to push my game over the line after that interview. He had showed me the facilities here in Halifax and I was amazed. The gym, the recovery area and the theatre for game analysis was incredible! I originally had Boston College in mind due to the great goalies that come out of there, such as Cory Schneider and the young Thatcher Demko. Their facilities were amazing as well but nothing could touch Halifax. The small city, the fans outside the practice arena and the fact that I could stay in the country as well were all too hard to pass up. I just knew that this team was the one for me. The day had finally come for my first practice, I had missed most of the preseason due to the big decision I had to make but I’m so glad Thranduil didn’t rescind his offer. This day I had finally met Thorvald Gunnarsson, the starting goalie on the Halifax 21st team. He too, was a young goalie, and I could tell that he was ready to fight for his spot. He stopped everything in practice, literally quik as lightning. I mean he stands at 6’6” and is 225lbs. I was just 6’3” and weighed 210 lbs soaking wet. This does not deter me though. I know that my shot is there if I take it, if the opportunity arises. When I met Thorvald, he was competitive but friendly. We both knew what kind of situation we were in but we also understood that we would spend plenty of time together. We were quik to make friends and even though we’re in the predicament, I very much hope he gets drafted high in the VHL. He’s big, he’s smart and he can be a franchise goalie in the future. I also met with some of the other team members. The captain, Blake Gaudette, was an absolute help. See, he’s from the area and mentioned all the great areas to look for a home to rent. He also introduced me to many my other teammates. Nacho is an absolute gent and Blake had mentioned he has a wicked shot and gets back on the d a lot. I also spoke with Papa Gage who is our top defensemen. He was telling me what his expectations of me are during certain situations which was an experience of its own. His expectations alone were challenging, but I was up for the challenge. Another teammate that I had met was Acyd Burn, a left winger on the team who happens to also be a rookie just like me. We made good friends and went for lunch after everything was wrapped up from the video room. I genuinely believe he’s got future captain written all over him. He’s engaging, commanding yet you can easily talk to him. Here I am, in my hotel looking at RentFaster and Kijiji for places to rent for this season and I thought, what a great set of guys. These were just some of my teammates I’ve met this week. I can’t wait till I get to know the rest of my team.

I would love to apply for the editor position. It would be tonnes of fun to edit content so we can pump out quality articles daily.

Wawa we wa. Wonder what the second part of this trade is.

Thank you @Beaviss You're a dope dude. Go Canucks

Review: Good biography. I liked that you included photos so we could visualize his upbringing. I'd have liked to seen a little info at the top as a header so I could figure out what position he played, size and age and such. I think that could've brought more to your bio. Other than that, this was great and I look forward to your future work.

Review: Okay your sense of humour is beyond anything I've seen. This is one of the funniest biographies I've ever read, period. This bio needed some more picture of Zoidberg, thats it. It needed no further changes. PS, you spelled premiere wrong here I'm literally grasping at straws though. Great job.

Review: Thank you for the disclaimer at the top, I don't happen to watch GoT (just because I don't want to be super addicted pls no hate comments <3) but it was incredibly creative and well thought-out. I definitely enjoyed reading this one and it made me laugh at times. 10/10 would read again.

Review: This is a great biography. Granted I didn't get a feel for who he is as a person, although you did great at highlighting his overall stats during his upbringing. Also I liked the fact that you provided a word counter! Certainly helpful. Otherwise this was good on the eyes and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

Name: Michael Johnson Age: 18 Position: G Height: 75 Inches Weight: 210 lbs. Birthplace: Vancouver, Canada Michael Johnson is a massive goalie from the big city of Vancouver, Canada. Michael is born to his father, James, and to his mother, Mary. Michael played high school hockey and was also apart of Burnaby Winter Club where he won many accolades as a young goaltender. Michael is an only child. Michael came from an incredibly athletic family with members of his family playing in different professional sports. Mary played ringette on a national level and represented Canada in the World Ringette Championships in the past. James played as a forward on his college hockey team, SFU Hockey (Simon Fraser University), in Division 1 NCAA. James is a full-time teacher and Mary is a lawyer. Uncles of Johnson have found themselves on professional soccer, basketball and lacrosse teams in the past. Early Childhood: Michael first laced up when he was 2 years old, skating on his local pond. He made friends with his long-time best friend, Luke. They both started playing together, Luke played RW and Michael played goalie. Michael’s father, James, was the coach of their local team. Luke and Michael climbed the ladder together and became the talk of the town. They were both the prodigies. At 10 years old, they both were playing U-14. They surprised everyone in the league by being league leaders in their respective positions. Luke was starting to get scouted by WHL teams. Michael on the other hand was not due to his size, they weren’t sure he would translate on that level. Teens: At age 13, Michael started to struggle academically since he was eating, breathing, and sleeping hockey. He looked upto Roberto Luongo and wanted to be just like him in the pros. He was dreaming of one day hearing, “GRRRREEEAAATTT SAAVEE JOOOHHHNSSSON” on the recording of one of his games. Michael just wanted to make his family proud. With that, he got obsessed with the idea of the VHL. At this point, James & Mary were starting to get worried since education was a major importance in the Johnson family. They wanted Michael to have a back up plan in life, incase hockey does not work out in any way. Around this time, Michael started to act out in school. He couldn’t believe his parents wouldn’t support his dreams. Meanwhile, Luke had accepted to join a WHL team in Seattle, his best friend was leaving him and he had no idea what to do. This created a dark period in the family. At age 16, Michael had been arrested numerous times for vandalism, battery and drug possession. WHL teams stopped watching him less and less and it definitely affected him as his game started to get worse and worse. James decided enough was enough and decided to air things out with Michael. They completely hashed it out and Michael wasn’t super happy about the outcome but started to understand his parents side of the picture. His Winter Club coach also had a sit down and explained that they’re making him the back-up goalie for the upcoming season. Michael was shattered but realized that this was his doing, no matter the circumstances to lead up to it. Michael worked hard in the gym the next morning, realizing his potential. He made a vow that very day to out train everyone he knows. He quit the drugs and focused his anger for when he was on the ice. This is when the tide turned for Michael, he took back his starting spot and put up a .921 SV% and 2.28 GAA with 5 shutouts. At age 17, he was shocked the league with an MVP performance. His stats included a .938 SV% and 2.18 GAA with a record breaking 9 shutouts. Michael’s resurgence was sending waves around the league. NCAA division 1 teams were sending scouts to try and tie him up in the college scene. Michael was seriously considering taking the college route to get a degree in accounting, since education was very important but this also kept his VHL dreams alive. That was until the VHLM team, the Halifax 21st came in with an offer of their own. At this point, Michael had a major decision to make. Does he continue to further his education by going through the college route or does he take the jump straight into the VHLM? Michael had plenty of conversations with his parents and with Luke, who was struggling on the Seattle Thunderbirds but had picked up the A. Luke had presented the idea that he could potentially become a franchise keeper if the 21st came straight for him, that there was a lot of belief in his ability to go straight to the VHLM. His parents had of course, believed that college was the way to go. Especially since he had offers from Michigan and Boston College, which are great colleges to go to. Michael had made a trip out to Boston College. He found the college campus incredible especially the campus lifestyle. He had a tour of the facilities he’d be using day in and day out and absolutely fell in love. He thought to himself, Cory Schneider and Thatcher Demko are great examples of goalies at the highest level and that he found some major motivation. Michael then made a trip out to Michigan and didn’t really find it too interesting. He was very intrigued by Boston College’s offer of a starting role which Michigan didn’t offer. Halifax was the last place to go, to see the type of life he could live. He met up with Thranduil and conducted his visit. Thranduil offered him a backup role at the 21st but had shown him these incredible facilities. He was amazed, but thought, backup? Thranduil had made it clear that his every intention was to nurture him into the star goalie he can become. This was what the other offers didn’t have, that direct vision from the GM himself. James and Mary were very impressed by the presentation that was given and gave their blessings to Michael. Michael has taken up this opportunity, and intends to shock the world. Now in his first season, he knows he has full faith from his staff and teammates and intends to build upon that.

1. What are you most exited for this season? To start the season! I'm excited for my first season in the VHL 2. Who do you think will lead the team in points this season? I think it'll be Gaudette since he was drafted the highest. 3. What goals do you have for the start of the season? Raise some TPE and get a few starts under my belt. 4. What skills do you think will help you this season the most? Rebound Control. Helps if you swallow up the puck a lot. 5. Which team member do you have the most chemistry with so far? Haaaa, I'm not sure yet. I'm gunna have to say Saelven since we're the weirdo goalies. 6. How do you think the team management could make your jobs as players easier? Not sure yet, I think the team management is great so far.

Chase is no longer on Halifax btw.

In

Michael Johnson is ready to push for a starting spot this season on the Halifax 21st. Reports out of his camp have been suggesting that he’s been meeting with goalie coach, Ian Clark, in regards of the new season. When speaking to him, he didn’t budge on the fact that his focus is on getting as many W’s this season. Sounds like he’s very focused for a long season ahead with the Halifax 21st and intends to do his part. He also added the increased focus his team has put on him since joining the VHLM.
