KRICE'S S71 VHLM DRAFT RANKINS: TOP 5 Hello everyone, welcome to my top 5 draft rankings for the upcoming VHLM draft. I am going to rank my top five prospects and give a breakdown of each player and why I feel they deserve to be in that position. This is only my opinion and in no way shape or form does that make it right but I appreciate you taking the time to read it anyways. So with my first pick in the upcoming draft I would choose.... #1 - @Zyrok - 180 TPE Zyrok I have slotted in the number 1 position in this draft. The reason being is because he is a defenseman. Everyone is in dire need for a top defenseman and with the abundance of wingers in this league, I think the need for defenseman give Zyrok12 the edge. Zyrok has 180 TPE which isn't to far off the number one ranked Proto who currently sits at 195 TPE. He is a smooth skating offensive defenseman who split the last season between the Yukon Rush and Ottawa Lynx where he went to the Founder Cup finals where he ended up losing to the Minnesota Storm. When given top line minutes in the Yukon Zyrok was producing points at an alarming rate being that he was given top pairing minutes. When he made the move over to Ottawa he played less minutes and that's where we saw his point production drop off. Whomever takes Zyrok in this upcoming draft is going to be happy they did because this number 1 defenseman is going to be lighting up the scoreboard in season 71. #2 - @Proto - 190 TPE Second on my list is Proto. Proto is coming off of a championship winning season with the Minnesota Storm. He was picked up as a waiver signing and contributed significantly as a supporting role player on a deep Minnesota team. This goal scoring winger is going to be getting a promotion this season as he will surely be playing top line minutes and ripping up this league before making the jump to the VHL. Proto had a modest 38 points in 66 regular season games but where he shined the most was in the post season. He racked up 18 points in 14 games during their championship run. I am sure the trait of stepping up when the games count the most is one that will get any GM excited to pick this player. #3 - @McWolf - 170 TPE Third on my list is center SS Hornet. Centres are a vital piece of any team and SS Hornet has to be the best one available in this draft. He came into the league as a waiver signing late into the season but came in and dominated for Houston. He played 22 games and in those 22 games he scored 22 points including 6 goals. He made is impact right away for the Houston Bulls but when the playoffs came around he fizzled out a bit only scoring 3 points during their 8 games. Houston wasn't as deep as some of the other top VHLM teams so I wouldn't let SS Hornets stats in the playoffs scare you from taking a chance on this future elite centre. He is sure to step into the lineup next season and be the number 1 guy for the team that drafts him. #4 - @Pengu - 167 TPE Next on my list I have another centreman. Pengu centered the top line on the Halifax 21sts for the majority of the season. The 21sts were not a competitor this season but that gave ample opportunity for Pengu to rack up the points. In his first season as a waiver signing Pengu scored 62 points in 54 games played. He only scored 10 goals in that time but his 154 shots shows encouraging signs that his goal total will improve as long as he keeps shooting the puck. Another positive for the team who takes Pengu is that he is apparently a great locker room presence. If Halifax had the opportunity to move up and draft him I know they would in a heart beat as he left quite the impression on the team. # 5 - @Zetterberg - 149 TPE This last pick to round out the top 5 was a tough one for me to make. The reason I went with Ray Sheilds is because there is an abundance of wingers in this draft and in this league. Ray plays center and in my opinion you can not have to many of those. Ray played 57 games last season between Yukon and Houston. He went from playing first lines minutes and racking up points in the Yukon to playing a more shutdown role in Houston and his point totals reflect that. He had only 26 points those 57 games but was a +12 showing off the defensive side of his game. The team that drafts Ray will be getting a two way center that will contribute on both ends of the ice and can slot in on any teams top line for the next season or two. Honorable Mentions I wanted to take a second to mention others who could have easily slotted into the top 5. Robin Winter @Sonnet is an excellent goal scoring winger who I feel deserves a little spotlight. The only knock I have is that there is an abundance of wingers otherwise Robin is going to be an elite winger in the near future. Another player I wanted to mention is winger Valtteri Vaakanainen @Jubo07 and defenseman Randy Marsh @oilmandan who are going to be studs in the near future as well. Well that wraps up my S71 VHLM Top Five Draft Rankings. I hope this gave you some insight on each player and why I think they deserve to be in the top 5. Again this is my opinion and I welcome you to comment below telling me who you think your top 5 would be! Thanks for tuning in! WORD COUNT: 1000 WORDS

Yukon Rush Press Conference week ending March 22 2020 1. The VHLM Draft is on Monday, March 16. The Rush have the 2nd and 5th overall picks, who should they take and why? 2. The top two prospects in the VHLM are Proto and Zyrok, Who will be taken first overall? 3. The Rush have made many trades lately that signifies they want to win now. Do you have faith in this management group to bring a title to the Yukon? 4. A philosophy I like about the VHLM is that it isn't just about winning titles but more so about the new players joining the league and wanting them to have fun. Do you agree with this player comes first mentality? or do you think winning championships at this level is more important? Get to know you questions of the week! 5. Covid-19 is shutting the world down including sports, schools, etc. What do you plan on doing with this downtime? 6. What are your thoughts on people losing their minds and buying all the toilet paper? and what about the people trying to create financial gain off this by selling toilet paper for more than what their worth on buy and sell sites? (I think its ridiculous and very scumbaggish)

I am putting my name in the ring to apply for this GM position. I have gained a lot of experience in my first season as an Assistant GM. My GM has taught me so much in such a short period of time. My speciality is player retention, I focused a lot during this first season on building relationships and keeping players around even though we were on a losing team. Activity in the LR is a big deal for me and I would create a fun and active atmosphere in the Houston LR. I have been involved in the draft process and advised in trades that Yukon has made over the last season. To add to this I also was a GM in the most recent World Junior Championships. So I have experience creating lines and am familiar with how the process works. Thank you for taking the time, and Good luck to All those who apply!

Welcome back to the 2nd edition of my VHLM Player Highlights. I will be shining a spotlight on VHLM players that don’t see enough attention. This week I am turning my attention to @Spaz Jared Spaz. Spaz is a well rounded scoring winger who just finished his tenure with the Philadelphia Reapers. The Reapers were swept in the first round by the Houston Bulls and now Jared will be looking to make the move up to Helsinki in the VHL next season! He spent two seasons in the VHLM between three teams. He signed as a waiver with Mississauga and the was moved to the Yukon in S69. He was then drafted by Philadelphia where he had a break out season scoring 77 points in 72 games. Of those points he showed off his ability to score goals with 41. Where Jared shines however is off the ice. He is a popular member in any locker room that he has been a part of and his training off the ice is second to none! It was a short career in the VHLM but if Jared Spaz continues to work hard and remain active I have no doubt he is going to be a key piece for Helsinki if they end up becoming a serious contender. Thanks for tuning in this week. Next weeks player Highlights will be announced at a later date! Word Count: 232

Yukon Rush Press Conference week ending on March 15 2020 1. We have made it to the VHL and VHLM finals. In the VHLM it’ll be the Minnesota Storm vs. Ottawa Lynx. Who do you predict wins and in how many games? 2. The VHL will have the Calgary Wranglers vs. Moscow Menace. The series is tied 1-1 after the first sim. Who will win this series and in how many games? 3. The offseason can be a long period of time for teams who don’t make the playoffs or are eliminated early. Do you have any suggestions on what the league could do to keep players engaged during this down time? 4. The Rush have 14 picks for the upcoming draft including the 2nd overall pick. Who should they take with that pick? Or should they look at moving down in the draft to acquire more picks? Get to know you questions of the week! 5. On Tuesday I am going to see The Glorious Sons in concert for the third time, in May I’m going to see Jimmy Eat World for the first time! Do you like going to concerts or have you ever been to one? Who have you seen in concert or who would you like to see? 6. What is/was your favourite subject in school and why? Which one did like the least?
