  1. Yeah i do actually, considering i make sigs ans i am in this thing. And if you wanna find something funny, the guy talking about positive feedback is the one losing his shit on here. Think before you talk, cause it sounds like you contradicting yourself if you dont like it, leave. Pretty simple. Cause i def dont want feedback the way you giving it
  2. Am i the only one that doesnt care who made the sig and who didnt? Idk, i judge talent when i do these submissions I guess there might be some sort of popularity contest but i dont think im getting any considering i just joined and never did this but gonna admit, this childish behaviour from everyone makes it a little more enjoyable. Gotta love when people complain about a tournament in a game that means absolutely nothing. Feels good to know i have some sort of impact on peopls lives
  3. KASPARS CLAUDE Age: 22 Height: 6’2” Weight: 215lbs in season form. Offseason: more like 230lbs with all that pasta he eats Birthplace: Cosenza, Calabria, Italy Position: Listed as a LW, but plays all Forward positions Shoots: Right Born in a city and country that really does not have a lot of hockey in its blood, Kaspars had to learn hockey the unorthodox way. He was determined, working out in his farm land and wherever he could, he had his eyes set on the prize of being a successful hockey player. With an education and sports career able to be acquired by playing hockey overseas, he decided to go and play hockey in the NCAA with the Boston University, where he met Jack Eichel and had a friend to push him along and develop as a hockey player. Played mostly as a forward, Kaspars has developed a well rounded skill set of goal-scoring abilities and also some two way capabilities. With an open mind, Kaspars knew that he was willing to do whatever it took to become a professional, so he has played every forward position of Left Winger, Right Winger and Center. PROS: Scoring: A natural goal scorer, he tends to have a shoot-first mentality rather than a pass-first. Developed in college, Jack Eichel was the one that would set up Kaspars a lot more so he had to make sure that he was able to put the puck in the back of the net. It’s the main aspect of Kaspars Claude’s game that stands out. Two-Way: All 3 zones are places that Kaspars Claude is effective in. He knows where to position himself in the offensive zone to score a goal; he knows how to be effective in the transition throughout the neutral zone. And most importantly, he can protect his own net at the point or even on the Penalty Kill. He is not a liability when he is on the ice. Size: Everyone says that you cannot teach size, and Kaspars Claude has that. Listed at 6’2” and with a weight of 215lbs, you can feel his presence on the ice. He plays more of a Power Forward role rather than a sniper, and he is not afraid to throw the body. The corners are a place you can typically see Kaspars battling and also coming out of with the puck. CONS: Speed: Well, this kind of goes hand in hand with Size. Being such a big body, he does look a little lanky on the ice and is missing the ability to bolster from one zone to the other. He is not quik on his feet but he is powerful on them. More of a Locomotive on the ice, he needs some time and space to pick up speed. Once that coal starts burning, move out of the way because it will take some time for Kaspars to stop. Unless he uses your body. Passing: He has the ability to pass, but he is a very selfish player on the ice. More of a “catch-and-shoot” style player, like they would say in basketball, Kaspars makes sure he is effective when he has the puck on his stick. He will release it towards the net and won’t look up to see his other options he has on the ice. If he could realize the amount of talent and added productivity he could have by sharing the puck, Kaspars would be a lot better off. Temper: That Calabrese blood is in him alright. He has a very short temper and sometimes the wires tend to touch. He sees black and that’s when it gets bad for him and for his team. You will find him in the box, and he will be most likely smashing his stick against the glass. He has to leave his ego at home and realize that hockey is a stressful sport. Sometimes it does not go his way, and Kaspars does not seem to handle that right now.

  7. It all started back in the homeland of Italy, in one of the major cities in the province of Calabria. Kaspars Claude is son of a farmer and a stay at home mom. He was raised by both of them and the rest of his family in a city called Cosenza. She, in her past life, was a professional figure skater and is how Kaspars Claude learnt how to skate and gained interest into ice hockey. During the winters, they would tear down their corn field and just create a huge ice rink. No boards, no ending to the beautiful pond that they created on their land. Kaspars would spend his days and nights there, and especially since he was taken care of mainly by his mother who stayed at home and didn’t work, he had a lot more free time on his hands to enjoy the great outdoors. After about 8 years of just getting taught hockey during his classes of Physical Education, the family decided to enroll Kaspars into hockey in their town. Unfortunately, they did not have enough money to pay for the registration so Kaspars father decided to sell his microwave to meet the quota. But let us rewind the clock a little and take a deeper dive into the life of Kaspars Claude. Cosenza scenery Elementary School In school, Kaspars was a terrible student. He was a very misbehaved student and would only pay attention to a few people, and that was his family. When it came time to get good grades, he would either be able to focus or just give it to his mother for her to do on her spare time. He had his brother that would look after him in the corridors and also had a couple cousins. Hockey seemed like a family sport to them, and when it was time for gym class, the Claude family and relatives would team up against the other Italian families and have friendly competitions. The school was thinking of growing the sport so they needed a rink, and that is where the Claude family came into play. The school would ask them to use their empty corn field in the winter to make a rink and use it for gym class. The Claude family, with very low budget, would allow the school full use but would make sure that the school would provide Kaspars with equipment. Household with Italians An Italian household is a fun one and a dangerous one at the same time. As kids, we are thought to live by 2 moral codes, and that is to respect everyone and to make sure that family is first. And that is how Kaspars would become. He would become a family man of some sorts and he would always have the utmost respect for his peers around him. Even though he was a misbehaving student in class, he was never disrespectful to his classmates or his teachers. He just generally disliked school and knew that sports would be way out of the city, or it would be to become a farmer like his father. Even though it aint much, it is honest work. But Kaspars wanted better and so did their family. They saw something in him, they saw his passion for hockey and knew that if he would have friends around him to push him and to play along with him, he would go places that the Claude family has not. Kaspars father would use his physically demanding job at home to make Kaspars train. He did not have enough money to send him away to camps or to the gym for physical activity, so he used the world he lived in. A couple of tools during the summer, picking at the corn and building cardio would help Kaspars develop some sort of base as an athlete. The cardio that a farmer develops and the core strength needed for the long days is something that you can only develop in the field, and never in a gym. The equipment and constantly holding heavy materials in your hands would develop muscles and the strength needed to be powerful on his hockey stick. When Kaspars would complain, he would get 2 different types of treatment. Either he would be told to do some counts around the corn field, which in turn meant he would have to do laps around the property. Or, his parents would use their tools around them to make sure he had the discipline needed in the competitive business of hockey. Whether it would be slippers in his own house or suicides ordered by the coach, players or kids would have to obey and go through some pain. Kaspars was built like an obedient man that knows his brothers and family need protection, blood or his hockey team. North America, the goal that Kaspars Claude had his eyes set on College Kaspars made a decision to travel to America when he was about 20 years old. He needed the exposure and he wanted a better education. He always realized that North America had better opportunity for someone like him and he would be able to use his hockey as a getaway, even if he never made it professionally. It was time for Kaspars to use his actual smarts and to become a man, and leave the house. So, he travelled all the way to Boston and received a scholarship with Boston University where he would become friends with a man named Jack Eichel. They would become roommates and the only thing they did not agree on was their passion for education. Jack knew he was a talented hockey player, and he dreamed of playing in the NHL. But Kaspars, Kaspars knew that he might not make it there and would need a degree just in case, something to fall back on. After working through those deadly days and nights in the farm, he had enough smarts to make it somewhere in the office or as a business man. The friendship these two had off the ice created a bond on the ice that was unbreakable. Together, Jack and Kaspars would lead Boston University to the Beanpot Final and would ultimately win the trophy against Harvard. Kaspars Claude would lead the team in points that season but was all the help of Jack. Kaspars was a pure scorer at the time and Jack was the all around player. Unfortunately, Kaspars would not see his friend get selected by the Buffalo Sabres in the NHL because Kaspars was receiving his Bachelor in Marketing that he put his heart into receiving. To this day, the degree and the trophy would be Kaspars biggest achievements and he hopes to receive more in the future of his hockey degree.

  9. By Disco, I mean Minnesota. It sure as hell seems like a storm from recent reports. Many, and I mean Many reporters have mentioned it recently that the Minnesota Storm are starting to panic. After starting the season with a 13 game winning streak, the Minnesota Storm lost their first game of the season against the Ottawa Lynx. Not so long after that one, exactly 5 games later, the Yukon Rush surprised the VHLM with a victory against the Storm, giving the Rush their 10th win of the season, which is also about the amount of losses that they have this season aswell. This is what Kaspars Claude had to say about the reports. "Yeah, it is true. We are starting to panic. But there is a difference between the Storm and most teams. We do not take it personally. We panic, we get mad at eachother, and then its back to being buddies again. We all have the same goal in mind, and that is winning games and advancing to the playoffs in good form with a good team bonding. Right now, we just gotta take a little step back. Some losses are good for the team morale. It shows us that we are not invincible. We have to show up every game and play the style of hockey we know how to. We have a deep roster and so do other teams, so what makes us different than them? Not much really. The only difference is the talent we have as a group compared to other teams." Kaspars seemed to be very unbothered from the whole situation and is also known to be a competitive individual. With an italian attitude in his blood, I would not be surprised if Kaspars had to lose his marbles a bit on the guys. The Storm look to bounce back from the couple losses they had in the next couple of games. Facing the top half of the standings the next couple of games, these will be some interesting games for the league to watch. Grab your popcorn and your jack and cokes, enjoy the show and buy your tickets. Come and support your Storm

    Is that a blockbuster I see? New York stocking up those draft picks though wow
  11. 1) Minnesota got their first taste of defeat, losing to Ottawa 4-2. What are your thoughts on that game? The better team that day deserved to win. When you go up against a talented team, you gotta give it your all. I feel like we got a little too comfortable with our streak and took them lightly. Was a wake up call to us, showing us that their are good teams in the league. 2) Minnesota is leading the league with the least Goals Against. What do you think about the team’s defensive performance? Clearly we are a team built from the back to the front. The defenseman and goaltender do their job and it makes it easier for the forwards. 3) Minnesota’s GM, Rayzor, has continued to make trades recently acquiring Alex, Kaspars Claude, Kefka Palazzo, and Tormund Giantsbane. Do you like these trades? I like this trade a lot. I had chosen to go to Mexico City and its a good way to see that other GMs were interested in me. To be apart of this deep roster is an honor and I will continue to get better to try and help out the team as much as I can. 4) Has it been easy to integrate the new teammates to the team (if you’re a new teammate, has it been easy to integrate with the team)? Yeah I can not complain. I do not think I have any enemies and I am pretty active. Still getting to know everyone but we get along in the LockerRoom. 5) Minnesota’s top 4 defenseman are all in the top 6 of total points for all defenseman in the VHLM. How important is their scoring to the team’s overall performance? It is always easier to be a good team when everyone is contributing. But it just shows us how talented we are on the back end. We all realize the strength of our d core. 6) Goalie Justin Cole leads the league with 7 shutouts. Why do you think the Storm already have so many shutouts? Because Justin is talented and we all make it our mission to help him out as kuch as possible. We try to keep the puck in the offesnive zone and we do what we can to get him those shutouts. Whatever it is, we block shots and we stay disciplined.
  12. these are always so hard to do, especially since most teams playing against eachother are so close in the standings
  13. Nice! Ive always wondered what happened to some of the guys that were here back in the day. Always hoped that they were going down the right path so Im glad to hear hes doing well I know he was in Graphic Design school when I used to chat with him but then it got so busy so he had to slowly slowly step away from the league. So all that hard work payed off
  14. About time my guy wakes up great team win right here
