Malmo Nighthawks Captain, Ash Sparks (#39), earns his 5th shutout of the season and 175th career win as a Nighthawk- in tonight’s game against the HC Davos Dynamo (final score: 7-0 for Malmo). ️

Answers: 1. I’d say we are near the top! If we aren’t the best EU team, then we are at least in the top 3 for sure. 2. I knew that LA was going to take a bit of a step back, but I really didn’t predict such a big downfall after the run they had last season. 3. I’m excited to see us go deep in the playoffs- hopefully even win the Continental Cup! 4. I’m going with the games we won last night. Sparks had back to back shutouts in games that we got out-shot, 1 of said games being a 49 save shutty in a 1-0 W! 6. As someone who has played all consoles at some point in time.. PC has been really really good but I do miss some things that only Xbox had to offer. PS is still nice as well, but I have to give it to PC for it’s superiority. 7. I like the branding for a lot of teams in the VHL and in the M! Over the years my tastes have changed, but I think I’ve always seen Malmo and Prague as some of the best designs. Also, both teams have such nice jerseys and colour palettes!

YES!! I love the jerseys and logo!! You definitely nailed it for this theme week @LucyXpher Great work!!

Thank you bro!!

The Malmo Nighthawks are a franchise with a deep history of having some of the best goaltenders to ever play in the VHL. Said history contains legends like Michael Johnson and even the Hall of Famer, Artem Tretiak, alongside many other very talented and successful goaltenders throughout the ages. One day I’d like to maybe take a deep dive into everyone’s history, but first I’d like to celebrate the fact that Ash Sparks has become #2 in All-time Wins for Nighthawks goalies. I’d personally say the major categories for goalies to covet within their respective team’s record books are the following; 1) Total W/L/OTL record, emphasis on the amount of Wins and how quickly it took said goalie to accumulate them. 2) Save % and GAA, typically not really looked at until you reach the games played threshold. Lastly 3) Total amount of Shutouts, which may be the most coveted of all. Ash Sparks currently sits 4th in Games Played (283 GP), closing in on Boris Tzesar (289 GP), and Michael Johnson (324 GP), but the all-time leader Artem Tretiak (409 GP) may be just out of reach. Ash Sparks sits 2nd all-time in shutouts with 20 so far, and still has time to catch the leader, Michael Johnson, who has 26 shutouts to his name. Now finally this- after last night’s Wins against D.C. and London, Ash Sparks has become the 2nd all-time leader in Wins with an impressive career record of 160-90-30 so far. He passed Michael Johnson (159-129-31) and once again like Sparks has done many times before, was the fastest to reach this milestone compared to all the Nighthawks goaltenders before him. It may be safe to say that Tretiak’s 409 games played in a Nighthawks’ jersey, and their W/L/OTL record of 222-151-27 may stand the test of time, but I would certainly like to believe that the legacy Ash Sparks has created will be a very tough close 2nd for a long time. Ash Sparks may even be looked back upon as 1 of the greater goaltenders that the Nighthawks has ever seen. (348 words)

Most of the work on this was done for last season’s graphic, but I did have to add and edit a few things due to roster changes. Home Away GO NIGHTHAWKS!! ️

Facts☝ and thanks so much dude!

Malmo Nighthawks reveal alternate “Blackout” Jersey for S93. (signed by team Captain, Ash Sparks) GO NIGHTHAWKS!! -️

I doubt it but it’s all good

At least you keep getting picked to be on the team @animal74 and have been stellar every single time! This was Ash Sparks’ last chance to play for his country or in this tournament at all, and he didn’t get selected by anyone (and he was certainly 1 of the top goalies this season ) so be grateful cuz it could have been a lot worse lol
