New Boys Club
When you are in a league with a history as rich as the Victory Hockey League, there will always be differences between members. Old members might have an attitude and feel more deserving of things (and therefore like to push through their opinion), while newer member might feel ignored or powerless when looking upon a wall that seems impossible to crack.
In order to fight the establishment a new boys club was created. The name relates to the name the Board of Governers received recently (“The Old Boys Club”) despite them recently having added players like Romanes and Jaladolar who both are still considered new members.
However since the creation of this New Boys Club rumors are being spread that their club has no right of existence. Why you may ask? It’s not because the old guys don’t want to give them their piece of pleasure, it’s not because certain teams were being excluded to their comments on a podcast series and it’s not because they think their opinions are being ignored. It’s a far more important fact.
In order to have a legitimate club, you need to have a clubhouse. When asking Jaime Hill about it she mentioned that a clubhouse was nonexistent. This fact means the creation of their new boys club is void. It was a great plan, but without a clubhouse, the club will be deemed nonexistent.

New York Guns For Victory Cup Record
The New York Americans have had a run of nearly unprecedented success since Season 14 when they won their first Continental Cup. No team in the history of the VHL has captured four straight Victory Cups, but Season 41 may just be the year this happens. The Americans have reloaded after losing surefire first ballot Hall of Famer Odin Tordahl to forced retirement. The beloved forward was a fixture of New York's success over the past four seasons as he was clearly the most dominant player in the league over that span. The Americans quickly acted to pick up the best overall player o nthe trade market this off-season, acquiring defenseman Matt Bentley from the Quebec City Meute. The move is a notable switch toward a more defensive style of play for the Americans as they call up two extremely impressive rookies in Jody Three Moons and Kristopher Klose. Time will tell if this generation of Americans will stand out as one of the VHL's most successful dynasties.
