Alex Bridges IV was recently interviewed on the Houston Bulls, and his future with the team next season. We asked Bridges IV where he saw himself on the team next season, and he stated that he was planning on being their first line right winger due to the fact that Cash Carti, his current teammate who fills that void will be heading to the VHL. We also asked Bridges IV on how he felt about his upcoming season and how his stat line was going to look. Bridges answered saying he planned to be over a PPG for the upcoming season and wanted to be the voice and face of the team very soon. This would mean doubling his point production in a big jump from last season. Bridges IV has been known to be a man of his word though, so I wouldn't quite count it out. Finally we asked Bridges IV on what he meant as being the voice of the team, and what that may entail. Bridges IV stated that the locker room was quite dull this season, and he felt that he was really one of the only people that was consistently active and pursuing an active locker room for most of the season. He told us he hopes that will change next season - as he will continue to be a voice in the locker room, and hopes others will join in with him. Word Count 238

At the start of the season, or at least around it, I set five main goals I wanted to see my player hit or surpass in order for me to consider this a successful season. I haven't been religiously following these goals, so I wanted to look back and see how I did. I know there's at least one or two that I haven't hit yet because they haven't came up yet, so I'll just analyze those and give the chances of them happening. Starting off, playing in the WJC tournament for Team Europe. Obviously this hasn't happened yet, so I cant really confirm or deny if I did make the roster or not. I can analyze where I rank amongst European right wingers though, and assume if I am going to make it or not. Here are players that I assume are going to be taken over me for my position: Luc Moreau, CJ Daniels, and Filip Zinek. These are not just right wingers, because Filip Zinek is a left winger. This means there is a 50% chance I get taken for RW, and 75% chance I get taken for LW. Overall, pretty good odds to surpass this goal i'd say. Even if I don't make it for Europe, I sure as hell will for world. Secondly, I wanted to achieve the goal of having a solid stat line of .35 points per game in this upcoming season. My season definitely started off slow, and I was hovering around the .35 mark until almost the midway point of the season. There was a stretch of 5-6 games where I had like 8 points though, which definitely helped my case. My player finished with 38 points in 76 games, which means we had .5 points per game exactly! So far, its looking like were two for two on our goals, and Alex is crushing any expectations or precedents his Dad set for him. Next up, I wanted to be ranked top 8 in S98 prospects. At the time I was sitting at #12 and this was definitely considered a challenge. I also stated that I'd be even more content if I made it to the top seven and secured myself as a high pick for the upcoming VHL draft. Regardless, im currently placed at the seven spot. Believe it or not, after this update I submit, im only going to be around 3 TPE off the 6 spot too. I definitely passed this goal, which was a tough one. So far were looking at three for three! Fourth, we have making playoffs and then, win at least one series. I played for the Houston Bulls this season. Although we fell short of the cup that I was personally expecting to go on a run for, we fell short and couldn't quite get it done. We did indeed make the playoffs, and ended up beating the Ottawa Lynx round one by a series score of 4-1, before falling to the Halifax 21st shortly after, 4-2. Overall, I succeeded at what I set myself to do, even though I'm not truly content with how it ended. And finally were here, the fifth and final goal I set for my player: start next season at 265 TPE or higher. Now I know this season isn't over so I can't confirm if I do hit this, but I can once again, guess. I currently write this on a Sunday at 9 am and will be writing my VHL.com article after this to cap me out for the week. This means that by tomorrow, I'll be sitting at 251 TPE. With training camp coming out in the next week or so, by the end of next week I'm guessing ill sit at ~275 TPE. Regardless, I'll hit 265 TPE next week with or without training camp, so we go five for five. Overall, Bridges IV has definitely exceeded my expectations for the season, and I'm proud of myself for being able to come back to the league after being absent for so long and make such a solid player, definitely my best.

why not run it back? im in!

1. No, I was hoping for both teams to lose and at the end of the game the commissioner quits his job because the league was poorly ran this season officiating wise. 2. Hopefully all, but ultimately whatever moves us on is what im aiming for. 3. The Buffalo Sabres, theyre a constant underdog. Really terrible. I dont even know. 4. My player has no money, im dirt poor. #homeless #paymejacob. 5. You know it - Alex Bridges III and Alex Bridges! He comes from a long line of JRs. 6. Get this - spork. The perfect mix of both. Huge, massive, greatly long.

Welcome back everyone, here we go with series three of the burning bridges series! I don't mean to be self centered with this one, but these articles are mainly things that interest ME, and that I share and do research on for people that also may be interested. I do try and keep it equal, but im going to do a recap on the S98 class - also known as the upcoming VHL draft class. Sorry if this doesn't interest you, I'm glad if it does though. I also won't be claiming this one for TPE, so im gonna do what I want with it lol. Anyways, here's how im thinking of doing it. First off, rank the top 15 players by TPE. Then, rank the top 7 forwards by points. Lastly, I will rank the top 5 defenseman based on overall play, and top 2 goalies off the same things as well. Starting off, the top 15 players, by TPE. 1. Tony Bob (G) - 300 TPE 2. Cardinal Copia (RW) - 288 TPE 3. Gingy (C) - 259 TPE 4. Agustin Martinez (RW) - 249 TPE 5. Zak Trokker (LW) - 249 TPE 6. Peter Venkman (D) - 234 TPE 7. Alex Bridges IV (RW) - 233 TPE 8. Tina Hughes (D) - 225 TPE 9. Sidney Sheppard (C) - 222 TPE 10. Bazooka Joe (D) - 187 TPE 11. Ryan Mantzz (RW) - 185 TPE 12. MacGregor Walcott (LW) - 154 TPE 13. Lorenzo Mancini (LW) - 151 TPE 14. Remain Six Meters Back From Me (D) - 149 TPE 15. Jakub Kovar (LW) - 137 TPE - Next up, we have the top 7 forwards, based on points. 1. Agustin Martinez - 56 PTS 2. Gingy - 53 PTS 3. Sidney Sheppard - 40 PTS 4. Alex Bridges IV - 38 PTS 5. Fortnite Moneygang - 37 PTS 6. Jakub Kovar - 36 PTS 7. MacGregor Walcott - 32 PTS - Second to last, we haveeeee... top 5 defenseman, based on overall play. 1. Bazooka Joe - 50 PTS, 204 HITS, 137 SB 2. Maximillion Pegasus - 34 PTS, 126 HITS, 107 SB 3. Remain Six Meters Back From Me - 26 PTS, 123 HITS, 108 SB 4. Peter Venkman - 35 PTS, 57 HITS, 123 SB 5. Tina Hughes - 25 PTS, 110 HITS, 46 SB - Finally, we have the top 2 goalies, also based on overall play. 1. Tony Bob - 91.9% SV, 33 WINS, 7 SO, 2.1 GAA 2. Kim Chi - 90.3% SV, 8 WINS, 2 SO, 1.77 GAA - The Collection Series 1 - Point Leaders Series 2 - Leading Defenseman in Points

So far, Alex Bridges IV has only spoke with one VHL team about the upcoming draft. He has publicly voiced his concern and is worried hes gonna fall in the draft again. Bridges IV was selected in the 3rd round of the VHLM entry draft, he currently ranked higher then everyone else selected in the 3rd round (except for one - will beat him out this upcoming week) TPE wise. He is also ranked higher then 50% of the players selected in the 2nd round - and 30% of the 1st round players! He had no idea on why he fell so far, but he wanted to prove it was a mistake. He is currently ranked #6 TPE wise in the S98 draft class, which leaves him with the following teams in his pick range (picks 4-8) ((im just predicting picks)) (((and the odds they pick me))): 4. Helsinki Titans [] (9%) 5. Prague Phantoms [] (14%) 6. DC Dragons [] (12%) 7. New York Americans [] (19%) 8. New York Americans [] (17%) (Based off team need and quality at position, as well as how far they'd be reaching - just a guess). Word Count: 186

1. Clearly wasnt me lol. Wins a win regardless - big dubs. 2. Im looking forward to Valentines day, I enjoyed all the days off in January though. 3. The feeling of relief after doing something is always better then the feeling of guilt when you dont do it. 4. I enjoy the Joe Rogan podcast, good convo gets brought up often, especially with an interesting guest. 5. Why not split em? See who wants it more in playoffs and just ride the hot hand! 6. Well we beat the Lynx 4-1, and San Diego is down 3-2 to Las Vegas, so I cant complain about where were at right now.

In a recent interview, Houston Bulls winger, Alex Bridges IV stated, "Yea its a great feeling, finally getting out there and showing the league what I can do," the star winger is currently on a tear - with 6 points in his last 5 games, "... I guess you could say the uh, the point gods have blessed me recently." Bridges IV started his season off slow, putting up around .4 PPG for the first 50 or so games of the season, but for the last 5-10 hes been close to 1 PPG all the sudden. It seems Bridges IV has finally caught his place in the league and is ready for big things next season with Houston. Most fans are wondering if he can continue to carry this streak into playoffs, just being right around the corner - or if his luck will run out before then. Let's hope Bridges IV can help his team make a deep playoff run and be a cornerstone to that run, if it does happen. Word Count 171

1. Just got to work straight after school and lacrosse, hoping to see the girlfriend and go out for dinner after. We'll see what happens, easy night hopefully. 2. I think anything is possible when you put your mind to it, and that should apply the other way as well. Nothing is possible if you dont put your mind to it. With that being said, I think the hell of a lot of motivation wins here. 3. It is not New Zealand, it would be Italy haha. Its just beautiful down there and most of my ancestors migrated from the area, so id like to see what they were working with. Ask 3 1. Whats your favorite season of the year, why? 2. Would you rather eat 100 cookies with no milk, or 20 shots of hot sauce with no milk? 3. Whats your favorite meal your parent/guardian ever made for you as a kid? Is it still your favorite?
