Review: What is not to like about this graphic. Fun and uplifting. In the spirit of Christmas, you did a fine job. 10/10

Review: I like the design concept. I am not crazy about the font but that is a design choice and I can see that it has some connection with the overall look. Lightning looks like an afterthought but it does work. Good work. 7.5/10

1. Did you do anything social for New Years Eve? I played Cold War most of the night. 2. Personally I'm not one to make resolutions. Are you? What are they (if you're willing to share)? I don't make resolutions as I tend to forget about them the next day. 3. Toronto's finish in the lottery tournament doesn't give us any additional chance to win a higher pick, but we've still got two top seven picks regardless... what are your thoughts about that? We will be fine. The cream floats to the top in the VHL. A later pick could be better than the first. 4. This off-season has felt long and tiring for me... what about yourself? Same, let's get this going already. 5. What are some of the things you look forward to in S76? Of course I want to be a top five forward but team wins are the most important and I think we will see more success next season. 6. Final question: What was the first meal you ate in 2021? (Mine was a bunch of breakfast Pogo's) Egg McMuffin

Well we did it. We all made it through what could be the worst year in modern history. Let's hope for a much better year ahead. This is a great time to work on some skills, stay active in the locker room and try to be a good influence on others. Not that any of that will happen, but it's the thought that counts right? It really is exciting as the playoffs wind down. So much happens in the off season. I am looking forward to the draft. I hope we can land that special player. Special meaning actively improving his skills. We already have a great group of players that are eager to succeed. I think this next season we will see a couple have breakout seasons. I can't wait to get back on the ice. Merrick was surrounded by some really talented players that will only get better. There will be some inter squad competition for sure. Bragging rights matter. Hope everyone got the toys they wanted. Stay safe wherever you are.

Fun times with the Bears. Much respect for Bana and the team.

Well the season ended and we are on the outside looking in. Toronto had a very good season in every aspect except winning. The players are working hard to become better and the future is even more brighter. We knew going into this season it was a development year. The team played several impressive games with standout performances from many on the team. It was a learning season and we now know what we need to succeed in the future. Our team is dedicated to being a top contender in the seasons upcoming. We had several players in the top ten in many categories. That is a good indication that we are on the right path. I think this time, Toronto will have a solid foundation to sustain success for many seasons. From our rookies to our veteran players, everyone is pushing hard to become better. Lead by a GM that has the skill and knowledge to make the right moves. While it is never a good feeling to miss the playoffs, we are proud of the team and what we have done during the season. Next season should be interesting.

Review: It's big. Logo could use a tad of blurr to match the render. Contrast is fairly bland but looks like it how you wanted it. Not bad. Happy New Years. 7/10

Review: Looks like a solid design. It's way too large but other than that it stays within your concept. A bit more render detail would help this though that could be how you wanted it. Good effort. 7/10

1. How was your Christmas? Very good. Stayed home and enjoyed the peace and quiet. 2. Do you have any plans between now and New Years? Stay home and enjoy the peace and quiet. 3. What did you get? Socks, underwear and a tie. 4. What are you looking forward too in 2021? A Covid free world. 5. VHL related now... but what do you think of Toronto's season? We came together and did played an honest game. 6. On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your players performance in 75? Merrick exceeded all expectations for the season, thanks to his linemates.

Review: Impressive sig. Simple background but it works. The effects over the render seem a little disconnected from the background but as a whole, it works. Great placement of your render and text. Not easy to pull off centered renders but this looks well balanced. Great job. 8.5/10

Review: One thing about reviewing, you can't just look at someone's graphic and compare it to what you like but what the member is aiming for. With this thought process, I think this graphic is very cool and retro. Font/text, render, colors all work within this design and I could not make any suggestions to change it. Well done, I like where you went with this. 8.5/10 @Mrpenguin30

This week I am going to focus on my player and team. John Merrick has been playing really well all season long. I credit that to having excellent team mates and a GM that is doing what he can for the future of the team. Merrick has been near the top of the league in points and with a lot of luck in the final games, could actually be the top scorer. Building off a solid season last year, Merrick continues to improve in the areas needed to be a good center. Looking at the team, we have tons of talent. We have some defensemen that will be solid in the near future and the forwards, well, we are in the top group in offense so that part of the team is running like a well oiled machine. I see nothing but good things for Toronto. Great team spirit and the desire to succeed. Even though we are missing the big show this season, as of now we are positive in or goals for and against. This highlights the effort our youth has been putting in to make themselves and the team a true championship contender in the upcoming seasons. Good to be in Toronto. I would easily pick this team if I were a rookie wanting to play and be a part of something special. Safe holidays to all.

1. We currently sit 2nd last in the VHL, however 9 points ahead of LAS. Can they catch us in the standings? No, you guys are firmly in that place. 2. Have you looked at the S76 draft class? Who goes 1st Overall? I haven't looked but I hear it is kind of deep. 3. Who is the most underrated player on NYA? I would say most of the team has been underrated. Good players here. 4. There were only 2 trades at the trade deadline this past monday. How can GM's be incentivized to make more deadline deals? Only deal when it fits in with the overall plan. 5. Do you have a favourite video game currently? Black Desert Online 6. Do you prefer giving gifts or receiving them? I like it both ways.

Thank you. Stay safe everyone.

This won't be about how my player is doing or how Toronto is working for the future. This short article is about helping others in the real world. Reaching out to those that might have issues with drugs or depression or both. Whatever the problem is, show that person that there is someone that does care about them and their well being. Everyone has problems, that's how life works, but some are getting pushed to the edge and will keep heading in that direction. If there is a small chance you can comfort someone, please do it. Life in today's world is really fucked up for some. It is hard to help when you are locked up like an animal. I urge you to think hard about anyone that is fighting a demon. You could be that one person that saves a life. The holidays are a mixed bag of emotions. A lot of Christmas cheer and everyone adjusting to a different way to be safe and still have a satisfying experience. Some people find it the worst time of the year as it will conjure up bad memories or events. Those are the ones that need that extra love this time of the year. While I enjoy playing in this league a lot, while I do my tasks each week and make a graphic, I am taking more time to reach out to old friends and family that might not be having the greatest of times. Last Saturday my nephew took his life. He was a confused young man but had a huge heart. I wish I would have been more involved with him as I knew he had a few issues he was dealing with. I hope the best for everyone. Please be safe and try to have a connection with those that need it. Safe and happy holiday....Steve.

Review: This graphic has good balance. I like the text placement though not sure about the font. I can't tell if this is a cutout or effects over an image. The pixel line effect seems too strong and the splatter effect doesn't add anything other than colors that don't work well with the rest of the palette. This sounds like I dislike this graphic, I don't. I think a few tweaks and better effect choices would have made this stellar. 7/10 @Hylands

Review: You made a very eye friendly sig that has all the elements needed. Format looks good, background is interesting but not dominate. Text is subjective but looks fine to me. I would say the only thing I would have liked to see is the render's face have a bit more pop/detail. Overall, very well done. 8.5/10 @Jubo07

1. If you are a charitable individual... what type of charities do you donate/contribute towards? I really like "Toys for Tots" program and have been involved with them for years. 2. What has been your favorite game this season? Pick any of the games that we won and that would be it. 3. If you could change one thing about the VHL what would it be? Replace the sim engine. To what? I have no idea. 4. I can see some of you playing Cyberpunk 2077... are you enjoying it? I can't get past the character creation screen. Should my player have big boobs and a dick or not. 5. What are your favorite games at the moment? Shit game Cold War is still on my playlist. Black Desert Online is an addiction. Forza Horizon 4 out of habit. 6. If the entire locker room played an Among Us (or similar game) who do you think would be the best liar and why? Would have to be...Jaxx.

Happy Holidays to all.

Review: Good formatting. Render looks clean, maybe a bit over processed. Background is simple yet works with your design. I love the font for the first name, not so much for the last name. Overall, great job. 8/10
