This should have been done before now but alas I forgot, no other reason really
 
Obviously it has been a bit so you've all cetainly seen that @hedgehog337 has (finally) decided to step down from the GM position of the Riga Reign after quite the long tenure. This leaves us with another GM vacancy that needs filling it. As always the league would like to thank Hedge for his substantial time behind the bench in Riga.
 
If you are interested in the opening, please post in this thread. Please do not contact the Commissioners outside of this thread, we will reach out to the chosen candidate privately.
 
***Please refrain from making comments regarding any candidates and their "worthiness" of being hired for this job, positive or negative. Any comment that is not an application will be removed to maintain a clean list of actual candidates, and (I hate that this actually needs to be said, but...) any member bashing will not be tolerated.***

As we have finished season 93, I am going to shift gears from my seasonal theme for my media spots and delve into something else. I will more than likely pick up a new theme for season 94, but right now I haven’t given much thought to what that will be. 
 
In the meantime, I want to spend some time discussing some random thoughts that may or may not be interesting to others. 
 
Slider Bars in STHS – So we made some adjustments to the slider bars in STHS, and we were told that it should have a small impact on the scoring in the league. Looking at the leaderboard we saw about a 15% increase in the top player scoring. I'm not sure how this compares to the outcome that was expected but it seems significant to me. It will be interesting to see if these changes are altered and if they get implemented into the other leagues. Have we just created a new era for stat comparison, Welcome to the Post-Slider era everyone. 
 
Jesse Teno- I acknowledge that I am not the first to make comment on this and I don’t expect to be the last, however it is worthwhile to acknowledge that the career of Jesse Teno is in my opinion Hall of Fame caliber. Having played alongside and experienced them in the locker room, Aimkin (Jesse Teno) is a fantastic addition to this league and deserves recognition. 
Skip the VHLE – Well we have 2 players that have recreated and built fast enough that they may be over 400TPE prior to their draft (VHL, VHLE) meaning they could skip playing in the VHLE altogether. I don’t think either of them plan to do this but it is interesting to see that it is a viable option for those who are a maximum earner. The impacts on the ability to do a nine-season career open farther with the ability to skip either the VHLM or the VHLE depending on how you earn. 
 
Fantasy Zone – Okay I am going to say it and I am not sure anyone can provide a logical argument, but this season's fantasy zone was a bust. The process just didn’t pan out. I think we may need to rethink how this gets done over the next season.  
 
Offseason – we are now entering the offseason, the VHL finals are competed. It is official. So, what does that really mean? For the most part nothing. No games to look at but still the same activity. Earn TPE, build your player, get ready for what comes next. As we approach the end of offseason we will get predictions, supercoach, VHFL to change up the usual pattern but even these won’t cause a significant alteration. 
 
Well, there you have it folks, the random thoughts that go through my mind outside of the ramblings of a GM. Hope that you found them amusing, thought provoking, or mildly entertaining. If you were just bored by my thoughts, so be it. Keep up the great work this offseason, looking forward to reading others random thoughts.

Answer 3 for 1 TPE, Answer 6 for 2 TPE 
 
1. Rough start for us but we will bounce back, and with that, the first question is: Where do you think we will finish in the Regular season?
2. Were you happy with the Captain selection?
3. Who do you think will finish with the most points on our team?
4. Were you happy to be Drafted to the Brigade?
5. Who do you think will win it all?
6. What is your favorite pre-game warmup?

just another filler article to practice my writing skills.. this time i talk about my reintroduction to the forum.
it's been a little different this time around for me with so many new names in the fray and a rusty mentality but i'm thrilled to be back in a league where i can take my time while earning, come up with a fun build and not be super serious while i connect with other hockey fans like myself who oddly share the same passion for simulation hockey. if it's a remix on an EA sports dream, roleplaying as a real athlete or trying to learn more about the ins and outs of the hockey world it's always a treat to see what people come up with in their respective weekly articles or graphics submissions. in the end, as time picks up and passes by it's a unique experience that can even help you learn a few things about yourself.. a true passionate fan or not. 
 
going back to the start of my article i mentioned things being different, it's nothing major because i'm geared for this stuff but tasks like checking in each day to keep up with the league and expanding my mind to be creative definitely stands out, i struggle with my attention span when reading large texts my eyes often skip lines and i think faster than i type so a lot of times it can be overwhelming, that being said i like the challenge and should only get better in time. right now i'm in a matrix trying to figure out the discord invitation error.. like it's a test from the fabled hockey gods i talked about years ago 😂 
looking forward to the infinity and beyond of what could be a two actual year career, little things like seeing how my character plays with skating and puckhandling during the junior showcase tournament is just a start to the adventure and i'm soaking up everything i can, making sure i blend in with the crowd and do it right this time keeps creeping into my mind increasing my awareness.. it's something i never really cared to do in the past but has helped dwindle my screen time and anxiety when waiting for a response in real-time, instead, i used that real time to stay fresh for my next encounter with a wild vhler 🤪 
 
..i know baby steps is the way to go, involving myself with others is how it flow, had a dream of a top-shelf celly woah, time to build up a resume and let my attributes grow.. adding a little uniqueness to the JST show!

1. i've been taking my time, checking into various content and envisioning my player on the ice, very happy to be back. a positive for me would be being able to socialise even if it's a few interactions, the road is long but it's a start. a negative would be darn Discord letting me join the SBA but not here. i really prepared myself to help out my jst team however i could.. it's my first tournament officially and i actually want to join/stay in the channel this time 🙃
 
2. team brigade. it may not be a team with historical indexes being in the jst but our team has some names i know so it should be easy to integrate myself within the group. favorite part has to be ice-time.. plenty of room for me on the wing as of right now 😉 
 
3. to best fit the vhlm another team in canada would be smart, instead of adding it takeaway an american team. for the mascot definitley a snowy owl! call the team the North Pole nocturnal!! 🦉 
 
4. because i didn't read through every question and have no performance to draw back on looking towards the future with my attributes now and what may come.. i hope to support my teammates and be consistent, fight hard to keep the puck and keep it far away from the net minder 🔮 
 
5. honestly I wanna be part of a team that wants and needs my soon to be hall of fame talents, right now since starting over none are on my radar but that bana person is pretty engaging, maybe Seattle could be a destination for me down the road 👀 
 
6. going to Sweden will always be my dream vacation, it's far away, has luscious deep forests, landscapes and there's boasts plenty of hockey fans willing to help direct me to the nearest arena.. 💅 it!

With the VHLM playoffs ending and the Saskatoon Wild being named the Founder's Cup Champions, I'd like to present you with some visualizers for the player's stats throughout the playoffs. Even though the Wild were the champions, many of the stats were not led by a player on that team. Check it out!

Great series Ottawa!

Glad to have you back in action. 

hello wonderful members from all walks of life! for the people that don't know me - hope you are having a great time, to the ones that do - hello again and thanks for staying active and awesome.. 🙂
i know it's been a long time since i made a post on here but I feel like this article is needed to help move forward and shed light on any lingering thoughts, so without making it awkward and using too many what could be useless words for some.. sorry for my bad attitude, nasty comments and selfish decisions among other things i may not have noticed. if that isn't good enough.. please turn it into competitiveness and take it out on me during a game, i'm not here to make anybody feel a certain way and at the end of the day i just want to hype situations, have fun and check in at the right times rather than all the time. there's probably more that could be said but my brain is starting to overlap and i wanted it to be natural, prove it by my actions in the long run by being a good member i know i can be
annnnyway going into this new experience i'm going to do things totally different, starting out fresh like i just jumped on the boat hoping i can help a crew float, taking it one step at a time along the way, according to what the players manuals say. ok that's enough rhyming i'm excited to see what happens, don't mind me i'm only here to tap in and applaud others by clapping.. 
saving a few words for the action in the backend *board noises* 😎

@ShawnGlade you did nothing for Ottawa and went inactive, also you called Minion my boyfriend when he wasn't even in our LR to cause shit, dil was right out you and I'm an idiot for inviting you back, another blunder of mine.. At least I can be honest, can you nerd?

Chicago has built an amazing squad from where they were the past few seasons and even in those seasons the Phoenix was conpetitive. Honestly looking scary with how many different weapons can be utilized in the line up! Another solid write, right to the point!!
