Ricky’s Agent: Ever since the LaFleur brothers moved to Beverly Hills, they have become friends with quite a few celebrities and superstars. It’s been a treat seeing so many iconic individuals show up to the games and other team events for the LA Stars. Ricky’s Agent: For theme week, I got a special guest for you all! He’s here to give his take on who he thinks the toughest guy or gal is in the VHL! He’s been in movies, played for sports teams before, and of course has tons of in-ring success; I present to you-- THEEEEE RO-- **The boys watching on a TV monitor backstage** Bubbles: Jesus Murphy!! Ricky!! Look!! It’s The F***ing Rock!!! Ricky: Yeah I toadasoe that I met this Rocker guy before. Weren’t you paying attention? Bubbles: Ricky, that’s not a “Rocker guy” that’s The f***ing People’s Champion!!! Ricky: The who’s champion? Bubbles: Oh my f***!!! Ricky!! He’s the most electrifying man in sports entertainment! Ricky-- how did you- Ricky: Shhhh, Bubs, I think he’s about to say something. **The Rock holds up a microphone and stares into the camera** The Rock: Everyone is taking their own take on this season’s theme week, mentioning tough guys and gals from around the league. You know what I have to say about that? The Rock: A lot of people have been focusing on the on-ice aspects of being an enforcer, but sometimes there are particularly imposing individuals who have a presence behind the scenes. That strike fear into the hearts of all. The Rock: Enter 1 of the toughest nuts to ever come out of Sunnyvale Trailer park: The Green Bastard. We say he’s from Sunnyvale Trailerpark but he claims that he’s “from parts unknown”. Truly, this is the wrestling alter ego of none other than Bubbles LaFleur. The Rock: There have been stories of The Green Bastard showing up to practices in the VHLM after the San Diego Marlins would have a bad loss. This wasn’t very often so not many took note, and everyone on that team understood that Bubbles was a kind-hearted and level headed soul- but as the Green Bastard? He was 1 terrifying S.O.B. The Rock: Allegedly, this mean Green sunuva b**** Bastard, power-bombed a fellow teammate through a table just outside of the team’s arena. Mysteriously this happened after said sumbi*** hurled insults at Bubbles and supposedly he replied; “You f***in’ want one?!” Sounds familiar.. **video plays on the jumbo-tron** The Rock: ..And magically this big green a** hole appeared afterwards to beat the holy ever living out him. If that’s not enough, then I happen to have his brother Ricky here! Let’s ask him who he thinks was the toughest player in the game is right now. **Ricky and Bubbles enter** The Rock: So what do you think, Rick? Who’s the tough S.O.B. in the VHL? Ricky: I’m not to sure on how to answer that to beat Frank. I mean--if the Green Bastard was around, then I’m pretty sure he would take down anyone in the entire VeHelLers! I do respect Bubbles forto being a man and doing his responsibles as an A** Captain-- Bubbles: Ricky it’s Assistant Captain, not A** Captain. Ricky: Not now, Bubs, I’m answering the Rockies champ’s question to who I think the toughest person in the VeHelLer is. The Rock: **raises his eyebrow and looks at Ricky** Ricky: Look, my answer is simple. It’s The Green Bastard, alright? I just wish everyone could see him let his anger out more on the ice, and show peoples that he is deserving to be called the toughest guy in the league! The Rock: Thanks Ricky. So in conclusion. We can all thank our almighty L.A. Stars for keeping Bubbles’ alter-ego in check so far this season. The Rock: Only time will tell if we see The Green Bastard show himself once again to layeth the smacketh down- on all of your candy asses~ The Rock: ..if you SMELLLLLLLLL!!!!! what THE ROCK!!! IS. COOKING!!! **mic drop** (Happy April Fools buddy!! @AJW) (666 words)

Hello VHL fans and enjoyers of all kinds! Ricky’s agent here again- reporting to you all from Beverly Hills where the Trailer Park boys have decided to call their 2nd home. Ricky @DarkSpyro and Bubbles @AJW have good connections with the icon himself, Snoop Dogg, and ended up purchasing some property near his LA mansion. Apparently Snoop and Ricky had a “smoke-off” after 1 of the games, where allegedly Ricky smoked Snoop under the table. The LaFleur brothers have been very dynamic and electric for the LA Stars on the ice, and for their culture too. It feels as if nothing will cool Bubbles off his heater, as he has been red-hot for the Stars so far! Bubbles has been having an incredible rookie season performance thus far for sure, but he has also been fantastic with the fans and media. Reports claim he is their favourite player to talk to during and outside of press conferences. Ricky has been called to action for more games than expected and all in 1 big rush of 10 straight games while Stars franchise goaltender, Roger Eagles @Greg_Di, recovered and eventually came back to the crease stronger than ever! When we asked Ricky how he felt playing behind Eagles on the bench and on the ice, he had this to say; Ricky: “Roger-Roger has gontobe the bestest f***ing-fantacular goalie in the league! It sucked a** when he got hurt because I was forn to be his back-up and I was looking forwards to gettin’ learnt by him. I’m glad he’s back because now I get more time to smoke more dope on the bench and get laser-eye focused on how to be as gooder as Roger-Roger between the hash pipes.” It’s fair to say Ricky holds the team’s starting goaltender in high regard, and has become comfortable with his role on the Stars organization. I would even say he has helped the team greatly when called upon, giving the LA Stars the benefit of 2 great goalies to rely on for the foreseeable future. (343 words)

Yes it’s true- both Bubbles @AJW and Ricky @DarkSpyro have both been called up to the big leagues this season and continue to show they are key players for any team. Both have exceeded expectations for their rookie seasons so far in these first 20 games of the season with impressive showings thus far- albeit for different reasons. Bubbles LaFleur has exploded right out the gate and leads the LA Stars in points as a rookie defensemen, with an astounding 23 points (1st on LA) coming from 7 goals (tied for 3rd on LA) and 16 assists (1st on LA) in these first 20 games played. He’s definitely stepping up as the team’s Star player and as he is currently 2nd among all rookies in the VHL for points. Bubbles has truly injected hope into his LA Stars teammates with his play on the ice and with his leadership off it, making him an invaluable asset to this team right from game 1 of the season. Ricky is a different story as he was determined to be the obvious backup goaltender to all-star goaltender, Roger Eagles @Greg_Di, so the expectations on Ricky were very low entering his rookie season. This all changed nearing the end of the off-season when star goaltender Roger Eagles faced a very scary injury, in which he took the reminder of the off-season to recover. The management for the LA Stars was not comfortable in testing their rookie backup yet, nor did Roger want Ricky to be fed to the wolves, so Eagles toughed out his injury and started the season- despite not being fully healed yet. Game 5 of the season: Roger Eagles gets run over by a NY Americans forward nearing the half way mark of the 2nd period, and if forced to leave the game with an undisclosed injury. This also meant Ricky was about to be dragged into his first appearance for the LA Stars, and he played his heart out. 20/20 saves in 32 minutes of play, Ricky stood on his head to finish that game- not allowing a single goal by him (even if that game ended up a 5-1 loss). Fortunately for the Stars, Roger Eagles was able to come back very strong the following games, so we wouldn’t see Ricky come back until 3 games later when Eagles desperately needed to rest his injured body. Eagles currently sits with a 0.905 save % and a 3.49 GAA in his first 10 games played, while dawning a 4-6-0 record which is extremely out of character for this elite level goaltender. These numbers only hammer home the point that Eagles has been battling injuries all season long. After Ricky’s performance, the Stars decided it was best to start with him and give Roger some much needed time to recover. Ricky has since started in the past 10 games and has been playing phenomenally until the team’s star goaltender returns, resulting in the crease becoming split 50/50 in the first 20 games so far. He currently has an impressive 0.924 save % and 2.17 GAA over the last 10 games and has been holding down the fort fairly well with a 5-5-0 record. This is very fortunately as it allows Roger Eagles time to recover and return to his healthy self with less urgency, but with this much time off already we should see his return to the line-up very soon. It’s more than fair to say that both of the LaFleur brothers have been exceeding expectations, and have both been stepping up for the team in their own ways. This could be the start to a very bright and hopeful chapter for the LA Stars. 616 words (forgot I claimed welfare this week oh well lol)

Answers 1. A hockey team, probably in the OHL. 2. Ricky would 100% be cocky but I can see him being humble 1% of the time. 3. Team effort. All the way! Questions 1. What is your VHL/M player mostly known for around the league? 2. If you could name the arena your VHL/M team plays at, what would you call it? 3. If you could create your VHL/M team’s mascot, what mascot suit would they be wearing and what would their name be?

Getting back to the article as a whole, it was another great read @LucyXpher! You do multiple thankless jobs which is never easy..

Answers 1. Yeah I’m curious to see how some players perform when paired with other starts from other NHL teams. 2. Vancouver for VHL, San Diego for VHLM. 3. I didn’t make 1, I have a few goals I’ve already made for myself prior to the New Year. Questions 1. Now that the season is over, did your player perform during the regular season and did they meet your expectations? 2. Which trade in the NHL has surprised you the most so far? 3. Who are you cheering for in the 4 Nations face-off? (team and at least 1 player)
