Geneva was the harbinger...

1. I was really happy to be able to contribute as much as I did. 8 points in 16 games was a nice start. 2. I think he handled his first season like a veteran. Obviously the team is in a great spot and he's been communicative and encouraging. Great job! 3. Keep working hard because the Reapers are going to be a tough out. 4. So many great performances and great players that were vital to their team's success. Going off the wall a bit, but I don't thing Mexico gets in the playoffs with the league's 4th worst offense without Chazz Michael Michaels in net. 5. None yet! 6. Gotta go with Switzerland. Top of the bucket list!

Welcome (back?) @acp! Great player name!

Great!! Looking forward to it!

If this is still open for @Victor... 1. How old were you when you created your first spreadsheet? 2. Who do you consider the best spreadsheet power user in the VHL? 3. What about keeping VHL history gives you the most joy? 4. Of your 5 Hall of Famers, which one is your favorite? Which player would you want to have a mulligan on? 5. What are some of your favorite Cup-winning moments? 6. Do you have any funny stories/interactions from when you were a Grader? 7. Do you do any other stats related hobbies IRL?

1. I came just after TDL but the Hounds are on a roll so that must mean we did alright! 2. If we keep rolling like we have been, we're only 10 points away with 12 games remaining so anything is possible. Beating Vegas definitely helped. 3. Again I haven't been around much this season but we're tied with the Reapers for 1st in the EU and the Hounds have always had fierce rivalry with Philly. 4. I'm not a huge Gatorade fan so maybe that Triple X Vitamin Water? That's tasty. Or Pepsi, if I can sneak it past the trainers... 5. I'm modeling my player largely of off Quinn Hughes. Smaller but speedy and great offensively and defensively. I'm hoping he'll be more of a shooter than Quinn. 6. Depends on if the goal would matter... No I probably would. Might write that into my next contract...

The Mississauga Hounds went sniffing for some defensive help in the race for the European Conference’s 1st seed against the Philadelphia Reapers and found it with a couple of players who recent declared for the S97 VHL Draft. First they signed diminutive Swedish-born blueliner Albin Aldgard @animal74 who finished his first pro year in the SHL after a successful junior career. Aldgard has been compared by some scouts as the Swedish Quinn Hughes. Next the Hounds signed towering 6’ 8” defenseman Ron World Peace Jr @stevo from Germany. These reinforcements should greatly bolster Mississauga’s back end and provide some relief for Kurt Bachmann @Blutch and Slava Kovalenko @OblivionWalker and hopefully have them more rested for the stretch drive and most likely the playoffs. Early results have been positive as the Hounds have won all four games with Aldgard in the lineup (RWRJ played in the last two) and are riding a seven-game win streak.

The Jokinen family tree continues!

I was waiting for the Marvel players to make an appearance...

I can only hope!

Sorry, to clarify, we can recreate on the Monday or the Tuesday?

Great job and thanks for the nice career review!

My boy! From bottom-feeder in the VHLE (with me) to having your number retired! Way to keep going and have fun doing it. A richly deserved honor!

Congrats, @kirbithan. Obviously well deserved. You killed it, what else can be said! Great playing against you!

Thank you, everyone! Like a true retiree, I'm on vacation so I just saw this, haha. It was an honor and pleasure to play with and against all of you. The Cup in S91 is definitely the highlight of Castle's career but all the teammates I played with made the journey worth it.

If you're bleeding that many colors, you'll probably be dead soon...

Let's go boys!!

Thanks for keeping this going @N0HBDY! And for all the free TPE!!

I come across lots of potential trivia questions when researching for VSN historical articles, haha.

Thanks for everything @Alex! Congrats @Pifferfish, you'll do great!

It was an extremely enjoyable career. Thanks everyone!

You take it. I'm done earning now, haha.

Congrats Moscow! You were the better team. @Spartan good job building this roster!
