It was part of bad filler that I was gonna tie in with the biography which I still haven't even got even around to.

1. How has the league and our Saskatoon locker room worked for you so far? Any changes you would like to see?
 While we are not certainly getting the results what everyone would want to see our guys are still in high spirits and wanting for more.

2. Why did you choose the position you currently play?
Just happened. I would be happy to play in any position really.

3. If you were approached by a sponsor, which brand would you be happy to make an ad for?
Something that I actually used and believed in. There are couple companies I can think of but maybe it's wise not to say them here.

4. As of posting this we have 5 games under our belt, do you think we're performing over or under expectations and on track for the weeks to come?
I think we can do better still, we have a great team and hopefully we can show it during the following weeks.

5. 72 games from now, if eligible and not already drafted, which team in the VHL would you hope you are drafted by? If drafted, are you happy with who picked you?
As a Finn I guess Titans would be the place for me, even though I doubt I would get any playtime there. 

6. In Saskatoon, who will score the most points this season?
Telker most likely.

Review:
 
The rookie profiles in the last week are seirously something else, and this one's a welcome addition.
 
For the basics:
 
Picture, vitals, pros, cons, summary, and conclusion are all up to snuff. Word count has been met. 
 
Content wise, I love it except for maybe this line:
 
which kind of sabotages the spirit of these types of characters. Regardless, great profile.

Welcome to Saskatoon and to the first press conference in a long time, and the start of a brand new season!

1. With the season about to start, which teams do you think will do the best in VHLM for this season?
 
 Hounds and Halifax both seem like quite strong teams so I wouldn't be surprised if either of them would end up winning this year.

2. If you had to say what you like best with, Saskatoon - this little town - what would it be?
 
Life here is very similar to my hometown in Finland which I enjoy very much.
 
3. What song would you like our fans to sing after a home-ice win?
 
Born to be wild? I honestly don't know.

4. Some fans have been vocal about a logo change for the team, if you changed it, what would you want it to depict?
 
A howling coyote would look fierce for sure!

5. What are your personal expectations in S69?
 
Hopefully I can become a first line winger for the team.

6. What kind of a teammate do you envision yourself to be at the end of this season?
 
Someone the team can depend on.

Hi Everybody!
@Members
 
As has been teased all off-season long, there will be a few changes to league operations, ranging from scheduling, to transactions, to point task changes, to another change that many have been asking for for quite some time. Without adding too much fluff, I’ll get right into the changes that are coming, as there are quite a few.
 
1.      League Divisions
As was announced with the unveiling of the expansion franchises, the league will be moving to divisions for the first time. As the league has always been wont to do, we are taking advantage of these divisions to pay homage to some of our history. In the past, we have named awards after players, and builders alike, and that trend continues with our four new divisions, named after past commissioners who have made great contributions to the league.
 

 
2.      Schedule
With 12 teams, the league is facing another first in its history, as we move towards a weighted schedule. Teams will face competition from their own conference for 42 games (minimum 8 per opponent), while playing 30 against the opposite conference (5 per opponent).
 
3.      Conditional Trades
Effective immediately, teams may now add conditions to trades, so long as they do not circumvent any other rules regarding player movement, including, but not limited to: Traded Draft Pick restrictions or Violating the integrity of the league.
 
o   Any, and all, conditions must be explicitly stated at the time a trade occurs, and agreed upon by both parties. Once a condition is agreed upon, make sure to tag a commissioner, who will add a condition tag to the thread, to be followed up on upon completion of the condition(s).
o   All conditions must convert prior to the conclusion of the following off-season.
o   Any draft pick that is part of a condition may be traded in a separate trade, so long as the receiving team understands that there are conditions attached to that pick
§  i.e. If Helsinki makes a trade with Davos, guaranteeing the higher of two 1st round picks held, then trades the other 1st round pick to Toronto. Toronto would receive the lower of the two picks, while Davos receives the higher.
o   The League Office holds the right to veto any conditional trade it feels circumvents league rules.
 
4.      VHLM TPE Cap
With the rise in TPE around the league the past few changes, you may have noticed that it is now more difficult for rookies to make an impact, especially if they are coming in just above the current VHLM TPE Cap. With that in mind, the Board of Governors has approved a raise of the VHLM TPE Cap from 200 TPE to 250 TPE, effective in Season 69.
 
5.      VHLM Achievement Tracker 
One other change the BOG has decided upon, is that Season 67 will be the final season that VHLM Players collect the Achievement Tracker. Instead, it will now be replaced with the VHLM Graduation Bonus of 20 Uncapped TPE. All players, starting with S69 Prospects, will be eligible for this bonus, as soon as they earn 251 TPE.
 
6.      Multi-Claim Podcasts
Something that has been brought up recently has been the legality of claiming podcasts over multiple weeks. As with Media Spots, Podcasts can run much longer than the required minimum, and there is also the possibility of having multiple members participate in a podcast. With that in mind, the BOG has created new rules regarding the length of podcasts, and for how many weeks each participant may claim them. The following chart displays how long a podcast must be to claim multiple weeks and/or claim as a group.
 

 
This means that members may now claim up to 4 weeks per podcast, while group podcasts have a set of guidelines for claims as well. Podcasts may not be claimed for more than 4 weeks. Podcasts with more than 4 people cannot be claimed by a 5th (or more) member.
 
7.      Re-Roll Change
While the league has always allowed position switches mid-season, re-rolls have been relegated strictly to the off-season. After much debate, the BOG has decided to allow in-season TPA re-rolls, beginning this season. The only caveat to this change is that re-rolls may not be purchased during the same season as a position switch, though purchasing both in the same off-season will still be allowed. Additionally, while it has never been allowed, a formal rule will now be put in place restricting TPA Re-Rolls between the Trade Deadline and the date of Depreciation.
 
8.      Lottery Changes
Yes, something many have voiced an opinion on. The league has heard your complaints, and strived to find a solution that better works for everyone, which we believe we have found. Effective immediately, the league’s lottery format will be receiving an improvement for the better. The prizes will remain the same, but the “tickets” will be seeing a drastic change.
 
Lottery entries will now be based on Capped TPE earned each week, which will be calculated every Tuesday, while the draw will take place Wednesday or Thursday of each week. Each Capped TPE will be worth 1 entry to the lottery, with a maximum of 12 entries per member.
 
The monthly draw will be calculated on the 5th of every month, taking into account each week that ended in the previous month, allowing those who missed the weekly draws a chance to take part in the monthly draw. Entries will be capped at 12 per member, per week that is in the draw (will vary from 48-60 depending on the month).
 
There will still be two draws, one for VHL Players, and one for VHLM Players. Should a member have two active players, playing in both leagues, they will only qualify for the VHL draw.
 
9.      Test Simming
Finally, we will end with another topic that has seen some hot debate, of late. As the current Update Scale has been discussed as being too light, the League has greenlit a test that will run during Season 68. Higgins will be simming, in conjunction with the VHL schedule, using a harsher scale that the league would like to test. He will be using live updates, just as the regular sim does, and converting them to the harsher scale. Depending on the success of this test, it is possible this new scale will be put into place starting in Season 69.

No one knows why they made this of a 4th round pick, but everyone knows it has no value.

Review: 
 
I think you’ve done a good job with the render on this one. It’s clear, the focal point stands out well.  The background is a bit plain but at the same time it doesn’t take anything away from the render so good work.

It has value to me. 

Always got my players back. 

Awesome that coffee stain lol. Well made!

noooooooooooooo, that coffee stain def gonna lower the value of the card. ?
