1. Liv Slater for having a great year on the back end.
 
2. Dalkr Vidarsson Despite not having a winning record he put up good individual numbers.
 
3.  My pick is Logan Ninefingers 32 goals and over 60 points as a rookie is a great start to a career.
 
4. I would guess Liv Slater she had a great year.
 
5. Best defenseman for sure.
 
6. More growth from all the players.

1. Liv Slater for sure 
 
2. Kaleeb for sure.   He worked his ass off in net.   
 
3. Guntis.   Played a heavy game with little fanfare.   
 
4. Liv Slater
 
5. Jake Wylde
 
6. need players to keep
earning and we will be unstoppable 

1. Liv Slater. Another great year from the blueline.
 
2. The fans, for showing up in another non-playoff year. 
 
3. Ninefingers. Lead the team in rookie points after a slower start. Really took off in the second half of the season.
 
4. Ninefingers. Lots of GWG goals and multi point nights. 
 
5. Jake Wylde Trophy. 
 
6. I mean we better make the playoffs with the current roster and hopefully off-season pick ups that should be coming our way. It would be a major disappointment to miss the playoffs next year

1. Liv Slater, put up another huge year in all categories and was our best player. 
 
2. Would have to say our goalie Vidarsson, faced a ton of rubber, kept us in a lot of games and didn't always get the most help in front of him. 
 
3. Logan Ninefingers would be my pick, got hot and ended with a lot of points and tons of hits. Absolute beast. 
 
4. Assuming this is players with the most appearances in the 3 stars, I would say Slater, Ninefingers and Martin. 
 
5. MVP for sure and top dman, then probably some others as well
 
6. We need our young D to continue to improve in the defensive zone and maybe add a couple high end forwards, then stick with it for longer before becoming sellers. 

I'm sneaking in for the press conference!
 
1. I'm going to go with Liv Slater. They were a very solid defenseman and led the team in points, plus almost dropped 30 goals.
2. I think the unsung hero for the Wolves was Dalkr Vidarsson. He didn't have too much help, but still found a way to put up a .913 and a 3.08. 
3. I'm going with Logan Ninefingers. They had 63 points in 72 games played, including a 30 goal season in their rookie season, which is very impressive.
4. I'll go with Liv Slater. I think they were the best player on the team and deserve the award.
5. I'm going to say the Jake Wylde Trophy.
6. I think just continue to build on the young core and supplement the pieces. If they do that, they could make it into the playoffs.
 
Thanks!

@VHLM GM

Rookie card for Malmo’s back-up goalie, who had an unreal rookie season in the VHL @LastGoon007 💯🔥

@Velevra

I have been a member of the VHL since February of 2019. I have played 29 seasons as a player, with three full careers behind me, and spent (I think) 14 or so as a GM. That's 43-ish seasons in total.
 
Before today, I could have said that I have never won a championship on any level of the VHL. Not as a GM, not as a player, not at all in general. I don't even think I've won stuff like the World Cup and WJC. But I can't say that anymore--thanks in large part to the management team of @Dadam30 and @dstevensonjr, Lazlo Holmes and the Saskatoon Wild are your S93 Founders' Cup Champions.
 
It's a bit fitting that my first championship came in the M. I think my VHLM tenure as a GM was much more special than my VHL one, and some of my most exciting Cup chases on both the player and GM end have come in the minors. But I'll still have to point out that I've never won a championship in the VHL. Could Holmes be the one to break the curse, and might GMs be less hesitant to pick him now that he's shaken off said curse on some level so far? We'll have to find out when the draft comes up. 

@Velevra

Another week closer to being done and a week closer to my player being active again.  Tough not making playoffs as it truly makes the suffering of the off-season feel much much worse.  I have been paying attention to the playoffs and it has been exciting in all three leagues. Its times like this I wish I could muster a decent graphic but here we are.  So, this week’s Around the League I will talk some playoff madness, stats, and some random stuff.
 
 PLAYOFF POINT LEADERS
Rummaging through some stats today I see that Wann Kerr @VattghernCZis leading the league in points with 20.  Even more impressive is he has done it in 9 games.  London is built to score in bunches and will be a huge challenge for either Seattle or DC in the finals. 
 
London has 4 players in the top 10 in scoring with Kerr, Leonard Triller, Lloyd Braum, and Sjin. Seattle has two in top 10 and has played two more games, and DC has none in top 10 but have The Frenchman, Henry Tucker, and Mark Calaway and they have shown that when hot, they are nearly unstoppable. 
 
Prediction:  Seattle vs London
Cup Champ:   London in 6
 
VHLE News:
A similar look in on the VHLE we see Antonia Bucantini @CowboyinAmerica from Oslo leading the playoff scoring with 15 points in just 8 games. The #1 overall pick in the league last year is trying to lead Oslo to a Renaissance Cup against Vasteras Iron Eagles but are currently down 2 games to 1.  Defenses have tried to contain her but she is almost a 2 point per game average.  In Vasteras, the other Italian superstar, Gianfranco Del Rocco @Victor has been stifled these playoffs with 1 goal 5 assist 6pts and a -8 overall.  The regular season 35 goal scorer has appeared handcuffed this playoff and the Iron Eagles still hold the series lead over Oslo.  If Gianfranco can get hot it will be tough for Oslo to contend but right now the Oslo defense is gearing up to keep old GDR off the scoresheet. 
 
This is going to be a tight series and I predict Oslo GM @dlamb to make some key decisions and bring Oslo a much-deserved Cup. 
 
Prediction:  Oslo in 7.  
 
Some Random VHL Related Thoughts:
So, I have been in the league since November 22, 2021 and while that seems like a long time I have really only started my second player’s VHL career.  My first player, Brian Payne taught me a lot about how to build a player and just the amount of work (and fun) it takes to make that player good in a league of great. 
 
While I still am confused about much of the league and still consider myself a bit of a noob about the league and definitely a noob computer literacy wise, I ALMOST saw myself put in for the AGM position in Miami, under @Ricer13.    I am not sure I am ready (or qualified) for that position, or any position really other than good earning player, and that’s ok.   Sometimes getting involved in the management side interests me since I am active on discord and always want to help this league that has been a source of fun for me for so long.  Then, there are other times when I hear or see people chat about shit I have no clue about such as trades, salary cap, future earnings and planning, and scouting actives and I feel lost as hell. 
 
I am sure this statement echoes many in the league’s feelings.  The urge to give back with the balance of time.  Can I keep an elite player and devote the needed time to mentor new players and be a fixture in several locker rooms?  
 
Anyway, I just wanted to share this and hopefully it generates some advice and/or ideas.   Have a great weekend everyone!
