Review: Nice graphic. I love the rivalry themed graphics and you did a great job setting the stage. I think the effects are simple but it makes you focus on the theme of the graphic, which is the point. Great job.

Review: Very good looking graphic. Looks like something you would see after a draft on a poster. Great job with the font/text. Everything seems to fit well together. Great effort.

Review: I love these. Nice job with the colors and design in general. I think you nailed it with the team logo and colors. Great effort. Affinity Photo can also do that............

Review: That is the biggest puck I have ever seen. Good looking graphic no matter what sport it is. Nice background and I really like the text. Good job.

Review: Looks like a fun project. Given the content that you had to display, I can't complain too much about this graphic. Not bad, good content, text is a little on the plain side but good effort.

Review: I wish more people would make jerseys. I really like what you did, it looks really good. Very simple but dramatic jersey. Great job.

Review: Looks like a color burst. You really love that blue I can tell. Nice job on the logo and I like the text. Maybe a background effect would have worked. It looks good.

Week ending 8/24 How do you feel about not making the playoffs? Will you be on the team next season, as far as you know? Are you going to work on skills this off season or take a vacation? What would you like to see changed on the team? Did you play in the WJC? If so, did you have fun? The locker room has been a bit dull. Is there a way to make players talk a bit more? Who do you think will win the cup? Do you have a favorite player or some player you wanted to emulate? Are you excited about having a few rookies on the roster next season? How long do you think it will take for us to become an actual contender?

With the playoffs just around the corner, players are getting ramped up to reach for the cup. Some teams that didn't make the playoffs are going to have to work hard in the off season to become better players for the up coming season. This will be my first season in the VHL and our team didn't make the cut. We have a lot of talent but still need to recruit more and build ourselves into a contender. With the proper drafting and FA pickup, we could be back in the playoffs in a couple of seasons. So the future is bright even though this season was over at the beginning. Moving forward will take a bit of commitment from each player to do his/her part in becoming the best player they can. Not every player has the intestinal fortitude to do this and that is just a character issue that has plagued many teams. Choosing the right players will be critical in the next couple of drafts. I look forward to a being on a good team that is being built. You have to have confidence in your leadership that they know what they are doing. I am fully committed to being a part of this rebuild and plan on making my mark in this league when we are full of commited talent. Good luck to all my friends that will continue into the playoffs. I hope to compete with you guys at some point.

The C should have always stayed with Brown. I like it.

Review: This is a cool looking sig. I like what you did with the player and the small version looks good. Your text looks really nice. Great effort, keep up the good work.

Review: Once you get past the Foreskin, you get to the meat of the sig. Good effort, looks effective and well done. Good job.

Review: Sweet sig. I can only dream to make a graphic on this level. Very nice presentation. Great job.

Review: Nice and bright. I love the color blend. Great logo placement and player cutout. Effects look great as well. I really like the overall look of your graphic. Great effort.

Review: Great action graphic. Good effects and looks like you can do a good job with cutting out players. My only negative comment would be the size and lack of text. If this is your sig, then it should be much smaller and have your players name. It doesn't look like a sig but I see you have it mounted as such. Great effort, good skills.

Review: I am not a fan of B/W sigs but this one seems to do a good job of rendering the player and effects. I think the formatting is off a bit but other than that I think it looks good. Good effort.

Review: Keep up the great work. Next try some text and background effects. Just learn as you go and don't worry about being perfect. That will come after you make a few hundred graphics. Good effort.

Review: A very likable graphic. It really captures the player and his personality. As a team mate, he is a fun loving guy. I like the color choice and everything seems to mix well. Good job.

With the addition of two teams, the VHL will be very competitive in the next few seasons. With this growth, the amount of rookies that will get to play should increase by a large number, which is good. I am all for growth when the time is right. I believe this is a great time to expand the league and promote more players into higher positions. There has to be a brighter light at the end of the tunnel and I think that light just got kicked on the high setting. As far as where these teams will be really doesn't interest me as much as the fact that there will be two more teams. They can be in any country or state and that is fine by me. I am not sure how the draft will work as this is the first expansion I have been through. I would imagine a player or two would be taken from each team if it were like any other expansion. I am sure there will be the proper system in place for a seamless transition. The two new GM's will do great. Both are well liked and I believe they will put in the effort to make their respective teams succeed. Plans will be made and rosters filled. It is a great time to be in the VHL.
