1. What inspired your player's name? It's a mix of my in real life nick name and tribute to my player's beautiful mane. 2. What's been your favorite part of the league so far? Pretty much that I don't have to stress to do finish stuff. I can play and be competitive, but I might never become a top player. That's ok with me. 3. What's been your least favorite part of the league so far? The tasks to get TPE every week. It's hard to find subjects to write about when you are not to involved in the league. 4. Do you have any questions about the league that you would like answered? Will you ever add other tasks? Like making up trivia questions about irl stuff or other things. 5. For our S67 players, do you plan on going up to the VHL, or staying down? For our S68 players, or S67 players going back into the VHLM draft, which team do you think will pick you up? Which team do you hope will pick you up? I'm at 87 TPE so I will definitely stay. I hope for a late pick so I won't disappoint, lol. 6. The VHL currently offers a bit of bonus TPE for being involved in our affiliates, the SBA (basketball league) and the EFL (American football league). Have you heard about this? If you have, have you considered joining those leagues? If you came here from either league, how does the VHL compare to the others? I wish there was a soccer league because I don't know enough about basket or american football so actually enjoy it I think.

I'm a shoot from the hip guy so Discord all the way for me.

As one of Houston Bull’s fresh waiver claims Mulleto had a lot of pressure on him. Given first pairing minutes directly from the start can make an old alcoholic’s mind race, but thanks to a professional welcome from the organization and a GM that believes in him, Mulleto has started to do so himself. 4 assists and -1 in 5 games may not sound like much, but Mulleto has never been a point per game player. Is that about to change? The new found faith in himself has made Banko Mulleto work much harder in practice and the gym. When he arrived at the Bulls training facility he looked a bit out of shape (he was shaped like a pear to be honest), but all those squats and dieting has done wonders to his fruit formed vessel. He already has 19 hits in 5 games which more than you can expect from someone with his strength. Hopefully his hours in the gym makes his hits hurt the opponents even more. If Banko Mulleto stays on the first line the future looks bright for both the Houston Bulls and himself. He could be on of this season’s best waiver pickups.

Accepted! Glad to be onboard this promising team. I had an unofficial offer from Minnesota Storm, but it never got realized by their GM. So during that time Bulls gave me a generous offer of first time minutes that I couldn't say no to. I understand if Minnesota is pissed, but business is business.

Name: Banko “Minor Magic” Mulleto Age: 31 Hometown: Oxelösund, Sweden Position: Defenseman Height: 75 in. Weight: 216 lbs Banko Mulleto is making a comeback in hockey after a 3 year hiatus. Mr Mulleto retired a few years ago after the birth of his daughter Bank-Oh-La-La. Hockey didn’t generate enough money to be able to afford the cost of a child nor the accelerating drinking problem of Banko. He had a successful time in his hometown hockey team “The Oxelösund Sirens”, but his drinking and lack of motivation stopped him from any real success in the high tier leagues of Sweden. Now sober and more motivated than ever Banko is trying his best to succeed in the minor leagues of the VHL. His age might be a problem, but his playing style has never been dependent on his physical skills. And how can you not succeed with that beautiful curly mullet? PROS Defensive awareness: “Minor Magic” was never a point per game player or a big threat in the offensive zone. He lacked some of the confidence to really be creative. However whenever Banko Mulleto was on the ice you knew the other team would have a hard time scoring because of Banko’s elite positioning in the defensive zone. Passing: Thanks to Banko’s postioning and eye for the game he rarely loses the puck and can pass himself out of the worst situations. Loyalty: He never left his hometown team even when they were degraded in 2012. He stayed with them for over 8 years. Rumors about offers from other (better) teams were heard, but Banko stayed. Was it entirely out of loyalty or did he just not dare to chase his dream of being a professional hockey player? Locker room leader: He was greatly appreciated in his old team. He was great at making the players around him feel better and play better. His hair: All the B vitamins from drinking beer has done wonders to his hair. Hair looks like prime Jagr material. CONS Lack of confidence: It’s hard to say how good Mulleto is/were. Sometimes he could be brilliant, sometimes he looked drunk (which in hindsight probably was true). Who knows what years of mindfulness exercises has done to his mind? Is he a new man? Will he live up to his potential? A bit chubby: Too be honest, Banko isn’t as fit as he could be. A few more squats might change this. Mediocre shot: Banko is never going to be a powerplay quarterback. His shot is precise, but lacks the power to be a real threat from the blue line. Summary A man with great potential. Had great success despite personal issues in the low tier leagues of Sweden. Does this aging man have enough time to live up to his potential? What is his ceiling? He understands the game like few others, but will his body be able to handle the physical action? If he can find his confidence, work on his crappy shot and get fit the sky is the limit to this Swedish gem.

The sole reason why I joined Minnesota Storms. Thought he played with them. I wish you the best in your retirement, Mr Butthole.

Can't say no to an offer like that! Sign me up. Just tell me where to put my pen (and how to do it).
