  1. did i make it in TIME ?? YAYA
  2. Its official and its been almost a week now and Spence King has made the out of the blue surprise promotion to the Legendary Vancouver Wolves of the VHL moving up to the Pros from his AGM Position with the red hot Philadelphia Reapers VHLM organization. King had been with the Reapers since S71 when being given the AGM position by @dmaximus when there was never a job posting, nor did Dmax make any indication he was looking for an AGM. King had approached Dmax personally one morning, actually it was shortly after I had earned the opportunity as a 1st Gen user to GM team Asia, the underdog team of the tournament going on to be 1st in the round robin and taking home Silver. This experience proved to me what I have to offer in a front office position and confident in my abilities and what I bring to the table on the front office team. Therefore, I approached Dmax about the possibility of being his AGM. Dmax after lots of careful thought and consideration made it public and official that I Mr. King will be the new Philly AGM. Dmax stated there was no way he couldn’t give Mr. King the job, the effort and dedication he puts into his work in like no other and I can’t be happier to have him as a partner as he has a very bright future ahead of him. Now, 4 seasons later and making it very public my intentions of being the GM of the next VHLM team/ Expansion Team and when Beaviss … the Beaviss makes a call to your GM asking for permission to talk I can’t explain the honor. “Leaving Philadelphia was not something I wanted to do, I love the roster we have and the locker room truly is the best in the league, and the fans , WOW. However , with the surge in ne user and overload of VHLM players its inevitable a new VHLM team will come and this is the next stepping stone towards getting that GM Job working at the pro level with a LEGEND. The ultimate goal hasn’t changed .. and don’t worry Reaper Fam I'm not selling my condo ;). @DMaximus @Beaviss, @KaleebtheMightyCredit for Graphic

  5. Vancouver Wolves S75 Forward Group After capturing the S74 Continental Cup, the Vancouver Wolves had to say farewell after raising the trophy to two key pieces on this very young Wolves roster with 9/13 Roster players being drafted S72 or later. A career Wolf retiring with 432 career Games played along with 50+ Playoff Games during his 5 years in the pros, capping it all off with his best hockey his last two seasons and his Victory lap season was one for the history books Brock Louth S74 Playoff MVP (Daisuke Kanou Trophy) Winner. After losing their biggest offensive cornerstone the Wolves opted to keep investing in the future parting ways with another player who had only knew the Wolves Jersey in his 7 year professional career one of the very few still left from his draft class the legendary veteran Jeff Downey S73’s Top offensive defenseman in the VHL ( Alexander Valiq Trophy) a two time 100 Pt scoring Defenseman coming off of three straight 20 goal seasons including a career high 32 in S73. The Wolves moved Jeff to the windy city in a trade going to the Chicago Phoenix in exchange for a S77 3rd and S76 4th. The S74 Continental Cup Champion Vancouver Wolves were really carried by these two players offensively and relied upon heavily each night as main scoring options, with Louth and Downey being the teams top two for Pts by a fair margin. Especially Louth having points on well over 50% it felt like all goals during the final series against Helsinki. These changes lead for lots of opportunity and a major gap in scoring left open to be filled. The Wolves have a locker room full of pieces that are more than capable of filling that void, the only question is , who will it be ? Get to know your S75 Vancouver Wolves Forwards (S72) Andrew Su (4th VHL Season) User: @Da_Berr | TPE: 760 (0 Banked) C | 6' 0" | 190 lb. | Age: 16 | Canadian VHL Drafted: 13th Overall (S72) | VHLM Drafted: 25th Overall (S71) -Coming off of an history book season scoring 100 pts the wolves look to Su as their Current and Future first line Center. Strong two way scoring, more offensive as of late, always a max earner and continuing to grow as on of the leagues top players. (S72) Gregg Stallion (3rd VHL Season) User: @SweatyBeaver | TPE: 623 (5 Banked) RW | 6' 0" | 180 lb. | Age: 20 | German VHL Drafted: 15th Overall (S72) | VHLM Drafted: 20th Overall (S72) Gregg Stallion going into only his third VHL season ironically one of the older players on the roster. Finishing S74 scoring 30 goals for the 1st time in his career as a sophomore was quite impressive. this is a Pure Sniper already with 700 career shots, extremely loyal, max earner, funny guy in the LR. Stallion will be on the first line Winger for a long time (S73) Kevin King (Sophomore) User: @IamMOOSE | TPE: 579 (5 Banked) C | 6' 1" | 187 lb. | Age: 25 | U.S.A VHL Drafted: 19th Overall (S73) | VHLM Drafted: 4th Overall (S73) Kevin King the once highly touted VHLM prospect earning at an incredible rate in S73 only to later go on and slide way down and Vancouver got a steal in a future 1st line big two-way scorer. The previous 4th Ovr VHLM pick and Kevin is finding is way into the pros and finding his role as a depth scorer in Vancouver. King is your perfect 2nd line center to bring balanced scoring to your team , he does it all, all considering being such a young player the potential as a first line center is there too. (S74) Onde Sandstrom (Sophomore) User: @fonziGG | TPE: 510 (7 Banked) RW | 6' 8" | 240 lb. | Age: 25 | Sweden VHL Drafted: 6th Overall (S74) | VHLM Drafted: 8th Overall (S73) Onde Sandstrom is one of the scariest and toughest players to come through the VHL and most of all the country gentle country Sweden Itself. Sandstrom standing at 6’8” and weighing over 240lbs this big strong skating winger really knows how to throw a hit, his ability to always come out of the corner with the puck during battles provides major advantages creating scoring opportunities out of nothing. Sandstrom the 6th Ovr Pick in S74 and 4th Forward selected as well as the 3rd Vancouver Wolf to be selected in those top 6 picks. Sandstrom would be a no doubt 1st line Powerforward winger on any other VHL team, going into what is just his sophomore season as a pro playing minutes split between 1st and 2nd line on the wing with such great young forward talent in Van City future 1st line Power Forward Winger. (S74) Venus Thightrap (Sophomore) User: @BladeMaiden| TPE: 528 (25 Banked) C | 5' 9" | 140 lb. | Age: 21 | Denmark VHL Drafted: 3rd Overall (S74) | VHLM Drafted: 13th Overall (S73) The pint sized exotic Danish superstar the wolves had one of the most stacked draft picks in S74 with pick 3 picks through the first 6 ! Respectively 3rd , 4th and 6th. With their 1st choice in the S74 draft none other than Miss Thightrap. Venus is truly a franchise changing potential player. Compared to Sidney Crosby and Connor McDavid except 140 lbs lol. Venus is currently playing on a line with two Offense first minded players, Thightrap has taken it upon herself in her sophomore season to focus more on her two-way game playing on the wing with Su and Stallion, Venus just makes the players around her better and showing signs of incredible growth. (S73) Jesper Norberg (Sophomore) User: @jpsd | TPE: 497 (7 Banked) RW | 5' 10" | 175 lb. | Age: 25 | Sweden | VHL Drafted: 20th Overall (S73) | VHLM Drafted: 11th Overall (S73) Norberg is a future shoe in every year to be nominated for most gentlemanly player, his transitioning to the pros from the M with no problem. After putting in the work in practice and proving his size and style of play is still effective, not the most aggressive, but effective. @Beaviss was able to snag @jspd early in the 2nd securing a long time loyal and dependable franchise winger. Jesper Norberg came into Vancouver with an incredible rookie season scoring 27 Goals, 41 Assists for 68 Pts in 72 GP and a whopping 306 shots on net! Norberg is your perfectly built career depth scoring with consistency. Due School holding Jesper’s development back slightly the S73 WJHC Gold Medalist and most recently S74 Continental Cup Champion Norberg is poised to be a Wolf for life already established 2nd line winger , maybe the best depth scoring option in the league and Vancouvers lucky to have a user like this Norbergs dedication and consistency and priceless. (S74) Riley Couture (Rookie) User: @Riley_Couture | TPE: 417 (42 Banked) C | 5' 7" | 145 lb. | Age: 23 | Great Britain | VHL Drafted: 19th Overall (S74) | VHLM Drafted: 29th Overall (S73) Riley Couture is the type of player when youre watching a game , everyone is saying “who is that”? Couture is a player the VSN Scouts were talking about since stepping on the ice for the first time playing for SSK in S73. Couture was instantly slotted as a top 10 pick in both drafts and maintained that position for up to the draft. The Wolves and Im pretty sure Riley as well coudlnt have been happier on draft day when they were able to use their high 2nd round pick to secure Coutures rights. After last seasons strong success and proven commitment and dedication to winning Couture was name AGM in HFX as well as playing on the 21st’s top line with VHLM Legend Michael Hall @Hops , carrying Halifax to an out of this world 64-7-1 record only to lose in a game 7 in the Round one of the playoffs.

Without further a due here the official announcement I am proud to partner with these amazing users and future Hall of Famers; WELCOME !!!

What were your immediate thoughts when contacted by Elsby Agency ? Groovy Dude: “I was pumped! I've seen some Player Agencies start to pop up, with Tallinder and Dil doing their thing with some pretty big name clients. I didn't think I'd ever crack into those because I'm not as much of a personality as I used to be since I've dialed back my discord use. Turns out the on-ice performance more than makes up for it!” Q. After receiving the news and contemplating, what is it about Elsby and his agency that lead you to choose to sign with them? Groovy Dude: “As a first gen, it's important to have a reputable agent to show me the ropes and protect me from all the bad influences that come with fame and fortune. Selsby (as his friends call him, and now we're officially friends) is a stand up dude with a solid track record. In the world of big shots and big egos, this guy thrives in the shadows. AGMs don't have many rights, and so it takes a real dedicated soul to toil behind the face of a franchise. Like his work with DMax, Elsby's going to get used to Groovy Dood taking the potlight while Elsby does all the heavy lifting.” Q. Lets start to get to know more about you personally, what have been your three biggest moments so far in your VHL experience? Groovy Dude: “Big moments eh? My VHLM draft experience was definitely one of them. I got taken hostage by the Minnesota Storm one pick before I was going to go home to Miami. Rattling. A solid agent then would've saved me from the cold, cold winters up there. Oh yeah I guess going first overall in the VHL was a big deal too. I was ranked 5 or 6 by Central Scouting, and leapfrogged some really really good players to go first. Tyler Walker and Micah Adrienne may have been higher-touted prospects, and in a redraft DLamb and JPines might go higher, but the decision to take me 1OA was the right one then, it's the right decision now, and it'll be the right decision when the history books are written. How about my VHL debut too eh? First career goal, first career shot. I've got that puck on the mantle for suuure. And, S75 is my big coming out party. I had a... many? game goal streak to start the season. I like scoring goals, so S75 has been a lot of fun. I'm sure your team of statisticians can fill in the gaps in my memory.” (S74) Jacob Carson User: jacobcarson877 | TPE: 264 (14 Banked) G | 6' 6" | 215 lb. | Age: 18 | | VHL Drafted : 62nd Overall (S74) | VHLM Drafted : 46th Overall (S74) SK SZ AG RB SC HS RT PC PS EX LD TPA 40 70 65 75 75 75 75 35 35 35 35 250 Season GP W L OTL SV% GAA SO GA SA MP 75 (PHI) 17 13 3 1 0.891 2.75 1 46 423 1004 74 (PHI) 72 28 37 7 0.884 2.99 7 214 1852 4288 73 (LVA) 6 2 0 0 0.869 2.93 0 11 84 225 Totals 95 43 40 8 0.885 2.95 8 271 2359 5517 Q. What were your immediate thoughts when contacted by Elsby Agency ? Jacob Carson: “When I was first contacted by Elsby's Agency of Excellence, I was a little surprised. I had often flown under the radar and I'm not usually one to be contacted by Agencies. I was obviously both curious and honoured as well, as it started to dawn on me that having an Agent means I'm really in the big leagues now. Q. After receiving the news and contemplating, what is it about Elsby and his agency that lead you to choose to sign with them? Jacob Carson: “”For anyone, when looking for an Agent, or really anyone to represent you to the world, it has to be someone who knows you, and who you trust to accurately put you out into the world. There aren't many people that I would allow to represent me like this, and of course the first person to contact me about this, is one of those people. Who better to represent me than a member of management for the team that... raised me essentially. Coming into Philly they were determined to turn me into a star and hopefully with their help, and my new-found Agent, (who just happens to fall in to both groups) we can it happen!” Q. Lets start to get to know more about you personally, what have been your three biggest moments so far in your VHL experience? Jacob Carson: “Being a first generation VHL-er I really get to appreciate each moment because every day is something new. Obviously there are definitely some standout memories, one in particular (or I guess two, but they're basically the same memory), is my Draft Weekend. Being drafted to Philly and Calgary were both a super great experience and I'm super excited for both franchises and their plans for me. I was also blessed with the opportunity to represent Canada on the world stage at the World Juniors and even though we weren't the most dominant team, it was pretty special to just put the maple leaf on my chest. The last one that really stands out for me is right around now actually. My first dominant run in the VHLM and getting the chance to join Elsby's Agency of Excellence! I'm super excited to see where I, the team, and the Agency go in the future.” (S73) Victor Grachev User: KaleebtheMighty | TPE: 474 (2 Banked) D | 6' 3" | 211 lb. | Age: 16 | | VHL Drafted: 24th Overall (S73) | VHLM Drafted: 7th Overall (S73) CK FG DI SK ST PH FO PA SC DF PS EX LD TPA 70 40 40 83 73 80 40 80 81 96 42 45 49 472 Q. What were your immediate thoughts when contacted by Elsby Agency? Victor Grachev: I immediately knew that I could be joining an organization run by a very great person in the league. This would also give me a chance to be represented in a better way, ensuring that I maintain a level of excellence in the VHL. Q. What is it about Elsby and his agency that made you choose to sign with them? Victor Grachev : They are involved with numerous players and teams across the league as well as contributing in all facets of league involvement. It’s a way for me to be included in a group that highlights great players and focuses on their contributions to the league. Q. What have been your three biggest moments so far in your VHL experience? Victor Grachev : I’d say number 1, being drafted in the VHL. That was a great experience. Number 2, was being named to the VHL S75 rookie team. I had a great season and was glad to get some recognition for it. And finally was having a great VHLM season with the Miami Marauders in S74. It was a great group of guys and we all had a fun time playing together. (S73) Patrik Laine User: PatrikLaine | TPE: 570 (5 Banked)RW | 6' 5" | 205 lb. | Age: 18 | | VHL Drafted: 9th Overall (S73) | VHLM Drafted: 53rd Overall (S73) CK FG DI SK ST PH FO PA SC DF PS EX LD TPA 45 40 40 90 50 90 40 75 99 90 45 48 45 565 Both Star Snipers and up and coming offensive dynamos Addison Mclaren & Patrik Laine kept it short and sweet in his interview regarding joining Elsbys Agency; I thought it would be a blast to be represented. I’m good friends with Elsby in Helsinki, very good friends. Motivated me to join the agency but also some self interest. My most memorable moment so far in my career would Probably my first goal, the run to the finals and getting draft!-Patrik Laine (S75) Addison Mclaren User: tcookie25 | TPE: 295 (45 Banked)LW | 5' 7" | 155 lb. | Age: 19 | | VHL Drafted: 8th Overall (S75) | VHLM Drafted: 9th Overall (S75) CK FG DI SK ST PH FO PA SC DF PS EX LD TPA 70 40 40 75 40 70 40 40 84 84 40 40 40 250 1) When getting the offer total honest, I wasn't too sure what it was all about at first but it's always an honour to be recognized for your performance and the work you're putting in, so it was cool to have a startup agency reach out! Elsby's involved with my VHLM team in Philly and he's a good dude, has a lot of energy and is good at hyping everyone up, so you know he's going to have a good group to be a part of. The most memorable moment of my career so far would have to be signing with my first team, being drafted #8 overall to Riga (and especially to be drafted there with my buddy from Miami, Cabe McJake), and obviously #1 has to be the Founders Cup win and championship in Miami last season @BladeMaiden @PatrikLaine @MMFLEX @KaleebtheMighty @CrazyCaityCat @RomanesEuntDomus @tcookie25 @jacobcarson877Credit to at @Zetterberg for the logo @bigAL @ZP16 @Patrik Tallinder Sorry Every member of the team that this announcement was so delayed , i couldnt resist making it public however , we have TONS more player interviews and lots of information covering ALL there is to know about the players listed above, Look forward to an updated version with the rest of the clients responses posted , the surprise Job offer from Beaviss took up a little bit of my time you all
  8. PHI (VHLM) -----------> VAN (VHL) Well this has been a crazy week for sure, and by crazy I mean unexpected. On the start of the week I was posting a review of our most recent draft and the future of the Philladelphia Reapers as a powerhouse franchise for seasons to come with amazing recruitment and drafting and never for a second imagined the possibility that I would be looking for a new condo just outside Vancouver today. This honestly was the hardest decision I have ever had to make. When @Beaviss calls, and has offering you a job, I don’t think there's anyone in the VHL that would say no. Having not applied for the VAN position and NO intention of leaving Philly until I get that next expansion team .This was honestly so out of the blue and really took me by surprise a few days before giving beavis my final answer to the job offer. Philadelphia has been my home since I first joined the VHLM as a player in S71 and leaving this amazing group of players Dmax and I have worked so hard to put together and I KNOW are taking home the Founders cup this year! I can actually believe all of your success my Reapers im so looking forward to watching you all grow into professionals and and don’t worry I will still be in the Reapers Discord regularly I each and every one of you and pray that there's and asterisk on the S75 Founders cup beside @DMaximus after the Reapers win the CUP. "Leaving Philadelphia was the hardest decision i have had to make since joining the VHL community , there are so many users ive met along thee way that have helped me and hope that i have helped them and Philly will always be a part of my heart and dont ever doubt a return to Philly one day ... Thanks to all the Roster players and Fans , Dmax especially for allowing me to take this amazing opportunty to grow towards my goal of becoming the next VHLM GM #OnceAReaperAlwaysAReaper"- Quoted Elsby on the Local Philadelphia Channel 8 News.
  9. just curious Lol idk where to find the data but what percentage of leagues have Elsby ? @Jubo07Vaak is on cant believe how many people passed on this HOF SNIPER
  10. Philadelphia Reapers S74 Press Conference #3 For week ending DEC 6 Were going with a new style of PC, This idea came from @BladeMaiden There are more than 6 options for questions , ANSWER SIX, for your full 2 TPE , however feel free to answer as many as you would like Answer ANY 6 for 2 TPE! 1) The hottest topic that’s been common throughout the VHL community, everyone talking “Who is going to be taking home the Founders Cup”. Lots of LRs in the Pros say the Reapers other say theres NO WAY, what would you say to the doubters? 2) The Reapers have decided to hand out a team MVP, that will be passed on by each user in the LR after the daily sims, what should the team use as “MVP Trophy”? a Cape ? a bloody Scythe ? a Wrestling Belt ? Give us ideas ? 3)How often do you check the VHLM Standings? 4) The Reapers went on a impressive 11 game winning streak including a win putting up a 10 piece, what has caused the recent surge in success on ice ? 5) This weeks power ranking had the Mexico jumping above us for the #1 spot after their 5-3 win last week along there 9 game winning streak. What is it going to take to beat MEX and prove we can consistently? 6) Its pretty much mid way through the season, most of you will be in Philly for another season , while other graduate, the majority will be returning reapers tell us your favorite part of living in Philadelphia? 7) The reapers are 2nd in league PP% and PK% by just a hair and pretty much tied with 1st. What are the reapers doing differently this season to keep these numbers so high? 8 ) In 29 game this season we’ve scored 140 goals already! With 9 players nearing a point per game what has been the secret to the reapers onslaught and balanced scoring throughout the whole roster.

  12. S75 Philadelphia Reapers Draft Review (Data as of 2020-11-24) The Reapers had a very busy S74 Offseason, after a surge of midseason recruits and an unfortunate ending to S74 the Reapers look towards an S75 VHLM Draft the Reapers and Dmax have been waiting for and preparing for since S73 in accumulating picks throughout the past 3 seasons making some little moves here and there as well as one major move in particular a trade with the team that would go on to be S73 Founders Cup champions sending them their playoff MVP and our team Captain for a massive haul of picks including a 1st and two 2nds as well as 2 other picks. With another small trade prior to the Minnesota deal @DMaximus was just starting his build towards a HUGE S75 season. Weve been talking Dmax and myself Spence King AGM in Philly, since my first season and we made those blockbuster and biggest trades in the VHLM since ive been here bringing in Adam Syreck, Big Chungus, @MikeDefenz Mann and RDM adding to our star studded squad with John Poremba, Bud Knight and @Big BobBob Helminen. Dmax taught me a lot and those trades were something he was very hesitant to do as it is somewhat irregular in the M to make a move like that . In the end we didn’t win that founders cup, and we were left going into the S73 draft with no picks in the first 4 rounds and only two picks in Total. This is where the rebuild began when drafting MAJOR STEAL and now team captain for the 3rd season in a row and just recently cemented his name in the top 10 Philadelphia Reapers career points. After the draft during the offseason Dmax was approached with a deal by Minnesota he could not refuse, after losing our top 6 players to graduating to the Pros the deal on Jul 14 2020 sending Founders Cup MVP to be Jer Lefebvre in exchange for an abundance of picks in S75 ;). The s73 Season was TOUGH for the Reapers, a lot of losses, the team NEVER stopped working , despite only having 2 “active” players , those two continued to develop and along the way the reapers were oh so lucky to sign another key piece to the rebuild and resurgence in Philadelphia was the waiver signing that would go on to be our unanimous top pick in offensive dynamo and LR legend Carson Walkers. ***Trade Thread*** *HFX / PHI - Jul 12, 2020 S73: Halifax Acquires: S74 PHI 3rd Philadelphia Acquires: S75 PHI 3rd S75 PHI 4th *PHI / MIN - Jul 14, 2020 S73: Minnesota Acquires: Jer Lefebvre, Turner McHugh Ziarie Anigbogu S75 PHI 4th Philadelphia Acquires: S74 OTT 2nd, S75 LVA 1st, S75 MEX 2nd, S75 MEX 3rd, S75 MEX 4th” *MIA / PHI - Sep 13, 2020 S74: Miami Acquires: -S74 OTT 2nd Philadelphia Acquires: -S74 YUK 4th (*Shawn Andrei Zyuzin) S75 (241 TPE) Graduated to Pros (Playing for London) after being drafted 22nd Ovr S75. 72 GP 11G, 31 A, 42 PTS, 233 HIT, 100 SB with the Philadelphia Reapers -S74 MIN 4th (*Jacob Carson) S75 (258 TPE) Philadelphia Reapers Starting Goalie 76 GP, 32 W, 37 L, 7 OTL, 2.94 GAA, 8.91 SV% with the Philadelphia Reapers -S76 MIA 4th *LVA / PHI - Oct 12, 2020 S74: Las Vegas Acquires: Breeze Ladrian S75 SSK 7th Philadelphia Acquires: S75 HOU 5th Philadelphia Reapers S75 VHLM Dispersal Draft Picks Round 1: (3) 4th ,7th , 9th Round 2: (2) 14th, 16th, Round 3: (2) 26th, 36th Round 4: 38th Round 5: (2) 52nd, 55th The Returning Players!! 3rd Season as Captain - (RW) Darius Marimoto (3rd Season with Reapers) - Drafted by PHI 5th Round S73 3rdSeason as Assistant Captain – (RW) Carson Walkers (3rd Season with Reapers) - Drafted by PHI 2nd round S74 Starting Goaltender – (G) Jacob Carson (2nd Season with Reapers) – Drafted by PHI 4th round S74 (S75) RW Thomas King (2nd Season with Reapers) – Drafted by PHI 5th round S74 S75 Reapers Draft Class !! 1st Round 4th Ovr: (S75) Jolly Greene Giant (D)TPE: 289 (39 Banked) | 6' 8" | 250 lb. | Age: 16 1st Round 7th Ovr: (S75) Robert Bouchard (C) TPE: 234 (0 Banked) | 5' 11" | 195 lb. | Age: 16 TRADE ALERT **PHI / HOU - Nov 08, 2020 S75 VHLM Draft Night:** Houston Acquires: S75 LVA 5th S75 PHI 3rd S77 PHI 2nd Philadelphia Acquires: S75 MIS 1st [9th OA] (Addison McLaren) *(With the player the we planned on taking was available to us at #7, and taking into consideration we somehow managed to get the top player in the draft at #4, the guy we've been watching very closely is still sitting there on the boards, before you know it Dmax hung up the phone and made the deal official with Houston picking up the Reapers THIRD 1st round pick allowing the reapers to bring in another Founders cup champion and teammate of our most recent pick, wow, just wow!)

This pick was a major gamble by Dmax considering on draft day JGG already has 244 TPE meaning a player averaging well over 13 TPE weekly must only earn 6 TPE until season cut-off, which pretty much the whole VHL community thought, however DMaximus knew exactly what he was doing and after Miami officially selected McJake Dmax had already starting dialing Jolly himself. This phone call ending with Dmax swiftly and confidently making the official. Dmax clearly hit the nail right on the head! The season is already ¼ in the books and on opening night roster suiting up for the Philadelphia Reapers is the recent 2nd Ovr Pick in the S75 VHL Draft Mr. Jolly Greene Giant. This pick was a HUGE instant rebuild for the reapers blue line not to mention a capped player to build around and parther. Phenomenal Pick 1st Round 7th Ovr: (S75) Robert Bouchard (C) On Draft Night TPE: 174 // CURRENT TPE: 234 (0 Banked) 5' 11" | 195 lb. | Age: 16 With the Reapers having 5 returning players, including two high scoring veteran wingers in Marimoto and Walkers as well as Sniper Thomas King. The pick was obvious with Center being such an important position the Reapers didn’t hesitate to select the strong two way face off man coming off a great rookie season in Minessotta proving to be one of the drafts top forward prospects showing off incredible IQ up and down the ice, the puck just follows Bouchard around the rink. Bouchard’s scoring abilities are still untapped and the sky really is the limit for this young centerman. 1st Round 9th Ovr: (S75) Addison Mclaren (LW) On Draft Night TPE: 211 // CURRENT TPE: 281 (31 Banked) 5' 7" | 155 lb. | Age: 19 After seeing teams following the trend in going with the Defence in the 1st and an offboard pick after the JGG was off the picked and SSK going with the youth taking top ranked S76 Forward, leaving potentially the best pro player in the draft available. There’s no other player that works as hard as Addison. He is an energizer bunny out there every shift and if he’s on the ice you know it because you just got wrecked or he just scored. This young mans skill level and strength for his size are like nothing on this earth. Cannot wait to see what McLaren sophomore season has to bring coming onto a Reapers squad already shaping up to be an All star team. 2nd Round 14th Ovr: (S75) Isau DaMoose (C) On Draft Night TPE: 152 // CURRENT | TPE: 217 (0 Banked) | 6' 1" | 178 lb. | Age: 16 The Reapers are torn between two great centerman, at the end of the day the Reapers were more than happy to see that there guy was left on the board at 14. Isau Damoose has been one of the most consistent players with growth since joining the M and his potential is way up there too , Isau was a player Philly had been watching play very carefully. Dmaximus most recently appointed team scout Darius Marimoto had this to say about Damoose “Great scoring and defense, good skating with equally good strength. Knows how to pass and put the puck in the net. Great defensive forward. He reminds me of Ryan O'Reilly.” 2nd Round 16th Ovr: (S76) Tom Eagles (D) On Draft Night TPE: 148 // CURRENT TPE: 188 (2 Banked) | 6' 6" | 230 lb. | Age: 18 Mr.King said he couldn’t be happier to have the opportunity to draft Tom, I cant imagine being happier in a real world with the outcome of this draft and the players on our board falling into our laps. Mr. Eagles was a player I knew we must have after seeing him play one shift. This tower of a young man does it all, and hockey is raging through his blood. Relative of the Recently retired and future HOF Goalie Greg Eagles. Tom is going to be a top 5 pick in the S76 VHL draft we couldn’t be luckier to have him on our roster. Tom fits right in with the reapers rebuild in this draft now sitting with a Starting goalie, a full top 6 Forwards and a true twin towers these two 1st line D and 1st round VHL talent in Giant and Eagles. 3rd Round 26th Ovr: (S75) Bob Tristan (D) | On Draft Night TPE: 140 // CURRENT TPE: 184 (0 Banked) | 6' 2" | 190 lb. | Age: 19 Dmax raced to the stage to make this pick official in great excitement with the quality of D starting to dwindle down as the draft progresses with such a small crop of elite D we knew there was NO WAY he would still be there at our next pick 36, Furthermore the Reapers couldn’t be happier to announce the 26th Ovr pick in returning Reaper from S74 Bob Tristan. Bob is a very highly respected teammate and one of the best guys in the LR , always keeping the team pumped and his energy is irreplaceable. Bringing back Bob only cements the Reapers rebuild status and at this point are starting to look scary with a beast forward group and now snagging an elite 1st line D in Bob. After his amazing rookie season leading the Philadelphia blueline putting up 5 goals and 11 assists in 30 games with the reapers after being a midseason waiver signing. Bob’s sophomore season can only go up , the consistent progression since joining the league has been on par with superb, this is a future VHL 1st line D and more than likely future VHL captain during his career. 3rd Round 36th Ovr: (S76) Robin Galante Nilsson (D) | On Draft Night TPE:81 // CURRENT TPE: 136 (0 Banked) | 6' 3" | 210 lb. | Age: 16 | This was a picked that shocked a lot of the VHLM and VHL community. Immediately when looking at the draft board and seeing an 81 TPE player being selected over what was available would have your head scratching. However again Dmax does it AGAIN, this man has spent hours with scouts searching the earth for the best hockey prospects , minds and people to bring into the Philly organization and that defines Nilsson to a T. Nilsson had 0 VHLM experience going into the draft and due to his low TPE wasn’t on many GMs draft boards and not one single mock draft. However Dmax knew Robin had been hinting at a VHLM return after many years of absence and playing in the SHL. Not only a week after but Galante Nilsson is the leader in the VHL community for TPE in week ending 22. Since the start of the season Nilsson has earned pretty much EVERY TPE capped or uncapped possible and working SO hard. His on ice results prove it, while leading the M in Assists at one point and continuing to play at a point per game , Nilsson along with his teammate and great D partner Tom Eagles, The S76 Draft is going be highlighted by Philly baby 4th Round 38th Ovr (S75) Pekko Viitanen (LW) | On Draft Night TPE:142 // CURRENT TPE: 183 (1 Banked) | 6' 1" | 180 lb. | Age: 20 | After a trio of Defence pick the reapers select LW out of Finland who had a good rookie campaign putting up 7 goals and 7 assists for 14 points in his first 32 games in Minnesota along with another one of our earlier picks Mr.Robert Bouchard. Pekko has a consistent earnings of atleast 8 TPE a week, at this point in the draft we decided to look for the most reliable users that we believe are dedicated to the program and have the ambition and drive to continue to succeed at the next level and during our player interviews Pekko was someone Dmax couldn’t pass up. 5th Round 52nd Ovr: (S75) Kjell Nilsson (C) | On Draft Night TPE:121 // CURRENT TPE: 164 (4 Banked) | 6' 0" | 189 lb. | Age: 18 The S75 Drafts are the longest and biggest draft classes in possibly history and WITHOUT A DOUBT recent years by a land slide almost doubling in players picked from the season prior going from a 7 round draft with 84 picks to a 12 round 144 pick draft. VHLM and VHL GMs also know that in previous years a 5th rounder is pretty much a gamble in prior draft years, by the time you hit round 5 its all 1st gen users or very inconsistent earners or just learning the ropes still before coming legendary making almost every pick a gamble. This year…. Not the case 3 picks into the 5th round and over a dozen players with 110+TPE all potential 1st liners, the draft continues to go our way and another guy we had on our board going much earlier is there again, A positional need and the top player at that position by a longshot left on the board 5th Round 55th Ovr: (S76) Caitlyn Catowize (RW)| On Draft Night TPE:83 // CURRENT TPE: 142 (0 Banked) | 6' 0" | 185 lb. | Age: 18 Caitlyn Catowize was a player the Reapers scout Marimoto was very high on , after her pre draft interview, Marimoto couldn’t stop raving about Catowizes teamwork and effort towards growth. Very quickly Caitlin was a player Dmax knew he wanted. CC has put up incredible TPE development and an amazing team player. Another S76 Draft eligible pick building the reapers future with a 1st gen user earning like a vet. 6th Round 64th Ovr: (S75) Blim Blam McFluble (LW) | On Draft Night TPE:138 // CURRENT TPE: 170 (0 Banked) | 5' 10" | 170 lb. | Age: 21 Reapers decided to go with roster needs and BPA with this pick, with the team currently sitting with a very strong top 6 Forward core invested in SC. Blim Blam is the perfect complimentary player to so many of our recent draft picks just like Caitlin will provide. Mr. Mcfuble has slightly more experience and proven since his 1st VHLM shift he hits like no other and you really need to know when hes on the ice. We knew this was not a player we wanted to play against, so having Mcfuble on our team couldn’t make us happier having one of the toughest guys in the league in our room especially being able to snag him in the 6th round. 7th Round 78th Ovr: (S76) Jivere Zolnek (C) | On Draft Night TPE:73 // CURRENT TPE: 128 (0 Banked)| 6' 3" | 213 lb. | Age: 21 “This might be my favorite pick of the draft, I have NO CLUE how the other GMs let this user slide so low” Said Mr.King . Jivere Zolnek is our 2nd waiver signing from the S73 season that will be returning to philly for S74. This user is familiar with the reapers and we cant express our excitement that a player of this quality is still on the board. It was an easy pick Jivere is going to be a top 10 pick in the S76 VHL draft and already getting looks from teams as there future franchise center in the pros. Zolneks potential is sky high and the Fans of Philly are in for a wild ride as long as Jivere is still here. 7th round 79th Ovr: (S76) Sportsboy57 (D) | On Draft Night TPE:59 // CURRENT TPE: 71 (0 Banked) | 6' 6" | 195 lb. | Age: 19 This pick marks our 13th pick in this seasons Dispersal draft, more picks than in the S74 and S73 drafts combined. Reapers now have 13 Forwards 5 Defence and their #1 Goalie secured as they decide to go with another highly touted prospect with 0 games of VHLM experience other than a recent Junior Review. The Reapers selected the six foot six 19 year old from Maine. Sportsboy will be playing a smaller role considering going to such a stacked team, however no role is a small role, everyone is key to a championship roster and we see the championship effort here and this is a defence we want as a Reaper for awhile the potential and effort we see in this defenceman is the reason hes a Reaper. If Sportsboy follows the track that we see, this is going to be a D every VHL GM is looking to draft high in the S76. 8th Round 88th Ovr: (S75) Jackson Wilson (LW) | On Draft Night TPE:110 // CURRENT TPE:138 (0 Banked) 6' 1" | 198 lb. | Age: 18 Jackson Wilson will be our 3rd draft pick coming over from Minnesota. So there will forsure be some familiar faces for this 1st gen user. Jackson had a strong rookie showing with Minnesota putting up 2 hits a game along the way. Coming into Philly Wilson S74 season is going to have much less time on the ice coming to this stacked offensive squad compared to the empty roster hes coming from. However Jackson has skills and intangibles those top picks and “star” players don’t have. This young man can fight and he has made it vocal hes all in it to win it , regargless of the role assigned Wilson is a true team player, his junior days he explained learning how to play a role and that’s exactly the type of player the reapers need at this pick. Wilson looks like such an amazing fit with this incredible S75 VHLM Reapers Draft Class. 9th Round 100th Ovr: (S75) Dommy Hasek* (Released Post Draft) On Draft Night TPE:89 // CURRENT TPE: 89 (0 Banked)| 6' 3" | 190 lb. | Age: 22 I don’t know the whole story here , however Dommy Hasek has since gone inactive post draft and the reapers have parted ways with Hasek post training camp after no one saw him on the ice, it seemed inevitable and there we have it Hasek was drafted by the Reapers then shortly after drafted by the Seattle Bears into the Pros with just 12 games of VHLM experience. After the draft like I said Hasek has been nowhere to be seen or heard from, the Reapers have released his rights now a VHLM FA, however Seattle has held onto his rights I can only assume this is in hope of a return. 10th Round 112th Ovr: (S76) Alex Zverina (D)| | On Draft Night TPE:50 // CURRENT TPE: 69 (0 Banked) | 6' 3" | 190 lb. | Age: 16 At this point its really not even a surprise anymore, with a major wildcard of a draft board left, and so many uncertainties with the VHLM draft in the later round. However Dmax is always on point and a step ahead of everyone. Zverina was truly a needle in the haystack a user that has just joined and 0 VHLM experience. With the Reapers having a full 4 forward lines of 12+ forwards and 6 (maybe 5 due to uncertainty) taking a D was the obvious choice. Zverina a solid stay at home defenceman and an S76 Draft date means hes going to be in Philly for awhile, fans this is deffintely a player to keep your eyes on and you wont be forgetting this name for a few years
  13. Amazing work on the Jersey ! The program you used looks great ! i have looked into jersey makers similar myself and never found anything this good. The Logo placement is perfect and the colours pop just right, The VHL logo on the collar is a SWEET touch , we are the Helsinki Titans* btw though The overall graphic is phenomenal and i personally wish i had the skill and talent myself to create and work with jersey ideas like this ! Great replica Grade: 9.5/10

After being drafted by Helsinki in S72 I really didn’t see myself nor do I think Jubo or anyone would have believed I would crack the S73 opening night roster only a season later. During my rookie season I was fortunate enough to learn and quickly what it takes to succeed at the pro level in the VHL and I cant say enough about Helsinki’s LR , the Vets are AMAZING and always make the whole team feel important , having played the opportunity to play on a roster during my first 179 games with a handful of legends with serious years of VHL experience to teach me everything and everything from players like Ben Hafkey, Erik Draven, Sam Ross , Jim Bob, Erik Summers, Seabass Perrin as well as Tony Bolonee. Throughout my first two seasons we have managed to have two extremely strong playoff runs winning consecutive European Cup Championship sweeps and two finals appearance giving me the most possible EX a player can earn both seasons since going pro and very proud of the 35 games played along with 9 goals 24 assists and 32 points nearing about a game during the playoffs along with 2 GWG from the point including a 2OT series clincher. So after S73 as a Rookie I was the clear 3rd D on the HSK depth chart behind 3 and 4 year older Summers and Bolonee with over 100 TPE more than myself. Going into S74 and a solid rookie campaign. Leading the team in Shots Blocked as a rookie with 119, following that with 2nd on the team in goals by D with 14 Goals.

This set me back another rung on the depth chart after what I thought was earned my way above Tony as he ages and it would be myself behind star Summers, and 3rd Tony with Oh Sens coming in as a rookie after his strong training camp, however this wasn’t the case and the stars aligned and everything happened for a reason and cant say how grateful I am to have played with Seabass. Now its S75 Elsby sits on the top 10 VHL Leaderboard for SB at #5 and in one less game played just 5 SBs behind the league leader. during the Helsinki Pre Season depth chart reveal I was listed as the Top defender… Spencer Elsby is also the 11th highest TPA Defence throughout the entire VHL.

  15. Philadelphia, PA – Philadelphia Reapers Head Coach/GM @DMaximus& Assistant GM Spence King announced today that DARIUS MARIMOTO @dariusmarimotoman has been named the longest tenured captain in Reapers franchise history*(Not all Data available) continuing to wear the C for his THIRD season in Philly . Along with returning for his 3rd season in Philly before going pro vet and top Reapers draft pick in S74 a MAJOR…MAJOR part of our leadership group and has been since stepping in the locker room, CARSON WALKERS @Cwalker, last week the Reapers roster held a vote in regards to who they believe have been and are consistently contributing to the discord LR and being great role models for all team members. The results of the poll were VERY tight with a FIVE way tie, obviously leaving our front office with some tough decisions to make in regards to who will be our on ice leadership group in S75, without further a due after very long and hard-fought consideration, JACOB CARSON @jacobcarson877, and ADDISON MCLAREN @tcookie25 will each serve as alternate captains. "Since I arrived in Philadelphia four seasons ago, we have been blessed with a tremendous amount of leadership on our roster," said King. "Darius has grown up within that environment and evolved into someone who not only plays his best hockey when it matters the most, but who also leads by example off the ice. He knows what it takes to win and his performance in our recent playoff runs reflects that. Most importantly, Darius has the respect of his teammates and we're extremely proud to name him as the Longest tenured captain of the Philadelphia Reapers." “As an organization we are excited to finalize our leadership group today and feel that all four players, led by Marimoto, as well as guys like Robert Bouchard, Bob Tristan Robin Galante Nilsson and so many more all truly exemplify and understand what it is expected of a Reaper” stated Assistant GM Spence King. "We have a great blend of talent and experience amongst these three players who will work amongst Darius as alternate captains," said King. "Two of these players are previous captains in the minors for 3 seasons now and we feel this group is a reflection of our team's identity and their leadership will be counted on both on the ice and in the community. Our team poll speaks for itself our locker rook is loaded with leaders even our S76 Rookies are verging the role of captain and will more than soon be wearing letters themselves" Marimoto- is in his third season with the Reapers after being selected by the club nearing the end of the 5th round during the S73 VHLM Dispersal draft. The eighteen year old native of the country of Japan is one of five Reapers scoring at a pace over a point per game and Darius is averaging +1 assists each GP. Last season the 6.01, 205-lb winger was named to the S74 Team Asia Roster for the WJHC. Last year he notched a 74 point campaign, putting up back to back 30 goal seasons. “It feels great. Being the captain of such a talented and promising team is something you dream of. This dream became reality for me. I can’t wait to see how the season plays out, and hopefully playoffs. Let’s go Reapers.” said Marimoto. Walkers- is also entering his 3rd season with the Reapers. Two Season ago the veteran sniper was selected in the 2n Round of the S74 VHL Entry Draft by the Malmo NightHawks. In 155 career regular season VHLM games played, the USA native has 52 goals and 69 assists in his career to-date. Doubling his single season "I’m honored that DMax and Spence continue to place their trust in to help lead the team to playoffs. I’m also excited to help Darius lead the team."- Quoted Carson Walkers Jacob Carson- a giant in between the pipes, a native of Location Uknown (Canada), is in his second season with the Reapers.
