Nothing But Hits Up His Sleeves Tommy Sleeves: The VHL’s Next Great Pugilist When Tommy Sleeves @dasboot was picked by Helsinki 23rd overall in the S90 Draft, the Titans’ fourth of six players selected in that draft including 1st overall defenseman YaBoi Oven @Doomsday, few would have guessed that seven seasons later, Sleeves would be the only player left from that draft still on the Titans’ roster. Now, partially through S97, Sleeves has cemented himself as one of the toughest and most physical players ever to touch blades on VHL ice. He is already a record-holder and by the end, he may become the greatest pugilist ever. Since starting his career in S91, no one has garnered more penalty minutes (1656 - through 30 games this season) or hits (2052) and he’s led the VHL in PIM the last three seasons. Last season, Sleeves set the record for penalty minutes in a season by a defenseman with 336, the second-highest single-season total ever, smashing Noah Lefevre’s mark of 313 set in S11. He’s also the only player to reach 288 penalty minutes or more (a 4 PIM per game average) three times in a career. After finishing S96 in 10th all-time in career PIM, he’s accumulated 116 in 30 games in S97 putting him in 7th (passing Ove Dyrdahl) and is on pace to break Peter Payne’s 82-season-old all-time record of 1858 by season’s end! He also doles out the hits more than almost any defenseman in VHL history. As mentioned above, no player, let alone defenseman, has posted more hits since the start of his career. He currently sits 41st all-time and at his current rate, he could reach the Top-20 by the end of the season. Last season, he led all players with 411 hits, which was the third-highest total ever by a blueliner (just behind Edwin Encarnacion’s 414 and Nick Fisher’s 413) and the highest total since Druss Deathwalker had 413 in S82. He is the fifth player in VHL history to record two seasons over 400 or more hits and the only defenseman to do it. But he’s not just a thug on the ice – he can also play his position. He led the VHL in blocked shots last season with 272, the second-highest total in a decade and was nominated for the Jake Wylde Trophy as the league’s best defensive defenseman. In fact, he’s the 28th player in VHL history to reach 1000 hits, 1000 PIM, and 1000 blocked shots and he was the quickest to do it (only six seasons). With one more year left to play after this, what else could Tommy Sleeves accomplish? All-time defenseman hits leader? Top-10 in hits all-time? Top-10 in blocked shots? Top-5? Helsinki’s all-time leader in games played? Or maybe top of the list is to help the Titans get to the playoffs one more time in his career? Only he knows, but the possibilities are vast. One thing is for certain: Tommy Sleeves is one of the greatest tough guys in the history of the VHL. He is also a beloved Helsinki legend. However the rest of his hockey career plays out, fans will remember Tommy Sleeves. And the skaters he crunched will probably remember him longer.

Review: Game 105 - HFX 8 MIS 3

S97 Game 105 Mississauga 3 Halifax 8 The high-scoring Halifax 21st kept pace with the top teams in the league with a huge offensive showing against the Hounds and are in third place overall. After trading goals three times, Inker Belle @WildfireMicro broke the tie at 5:38 in the 2nd period to make it 4-3 and Halifax poured on the gas after that scoring four more unanswered goals in the third and outshooting Mississauga 20-9 in the final frame. Halifax’s dominant duo of Pelayo Bolivar @SMYLS4 and Belle remain 1-2 in league scoring as they both scored twice and Belle added two assists and Bolivar added one. Ty Duke @TheDuke also had a four-point night with 1-3-4. Cysteine @Bea, Hater Tottingham @Trunkxolotl, and Petr Novak @LastGoon007 (his first of the season) also scored for Halifax. Goalie Chad Powers @Big_Dyl was sharp stopping 28 of 31 shots. The Hounds were led by Davin VanHousen @David VanHousen and Kurt Bachmann @Blutch who each posted a goal and an assist. Jay Sikes @JaySmacksss also scored and despite being under siege in the third period, whiteknight @shaun1979 valiantly turned aside 31 of 39 shots. Special teams were special for both teams as each scored short-handed and Mississauga scored once on the power play and Halifax scored three times.

1. It's weird not seeing the Reapers and Hounds near the top of their conference but looking at the rosters, the Reapers don't have much talent right now and the Hounds could be doing better if not for their goalie situation. 2. Offense - specifically from the forwards. Pure and simple. We've now been shut out two of the last four games. Four of the team's top five scorers are defensemen. 3. Onyekachukwu Chidieber Oluwaseun has been keeping us near the top with a decent goal differential as they try to backstop the lowest-scoring team in the M. 4. November 1st - Egg Nog Day 5. FF Toadly 6. We're in Vegas, right? With all the casinos we should... go streaking down the strip!

After the Las Vegas Aces were shutout for the first time this season by the San Diego Marlins in a 1-0 OTL, defenseman Albin Aldgard went on a six-game point streak to help the Aces to a 1-1-4 record in that stretch. He recorded one point in each of those six games posting a goal and five assists for six points. While the streak (the second-longest in the league at the time) was officially broken in a 3-2 shootout win against Philadelphia, Aldgard converted on his shoot out chance to win the game for Las Vegas. He posted another assist in the next game to help the Aces beat San Diego 3-2. Despite being held to one assist in the next four games, Aldgard currently leads the Aces in scoring with 12 points in 18 games including pacing the team with 10 assists and 26 blocked shots. With four of the team’s top five scorers being defensemen, the Las Vegas forwards will need to increase their offensive output to help the team keep pace at the top of the Western Conference.

1. Watching Onyekachukwu Chidieber Oluwaseun stop the puck. He'll give us a chance to win every night. 2. Hopefully we can stay in a playoff spot but we've got to score more. 3. We're very good defensively and in goal which should be strong enough to get us to the playoffs but we need more scoring. 4. I don't necessarily have a favorite brand but I would say Earl Grey is my favorite style. 5. Fried salmon, risotto, salad with some ice cream for dessert. 6. Uh, don't really have one.

Thanks! There was one player I was worried about and didn't want to be disqualified for being over the dollar amount.

1. No I didn't! I'm not on Reddit much, but I'll check it out. 2. Unfortunately, I couldn't participate as much as I would like to, but it's always a good event for a good cause. 3. Current jersey numbers, season high single game perfomances? 4. I don't know A&W? 5. Wow. Extra arm. (Hopefully do more stuff) Shirts would be difficult though 6. My family always watches a short animated film called The First Noel. Narrated by Andy Griffith.

Need to change the title of the form. Also, so the TPE shown in the Builder is law? Even if the player may be higher now?

Merry Christmas!!

Almost Christmas!!
