Hmm

Excited to see another player agency! Amazing job on the article as well

Another week of sims has come and passed and the ever-changing landscape of the VHLM continues to take shape. This week the battle for M supremacy heated up even more as Mexico City and Philly both continued winning at torrid paces. We also saw Halifax regain some of their S74 form as they had themselves a solid week, while over in the Western Conference, Yukon experienced some struggles and now find themselves clinging on to the last playoff spot. It was another eventful week of sims, so without further ado, let's start breaking it down!
 

Last Week: 2  |  This Week: 1  
Almost half the season in the books and finally there is heir to the Power Rankings throne! The Kings are truly amongst VHLM royalty this season, currently boasting a pristine 23-4-3 record which is good for first in the entire league, edging out the Reapers by a mere 2 points. This two point discrepancy is not the reason I put them over Philly though. These teams are awfully close in mostly every aspect you can think of, but the reason I gave Mexico the edge this week is because they actually beat Philly head-to-head this week by a score of 5-3. I would even go as far to say that the Kings and the Reapers are 1A and 1B but for the sake of fairness crowning a clear winner, I gave it to Mexico this week.  Offensively @jhatty8RJ Thatcher and @youloser1337Justin Lose are the teams one-two punch providing 17 and 16 goals respectively. The team continues to get solid offensive support from their second line also, and longtime VHLM journeyman defenseman @LefLopKing Kruul sits amidst the top 5 d-man scoring. With 7 of their players sitting at the 200+ TPE mark (and another 3 knocking on the door), the Kings are poised to make a solid run for the Founders Cup this season. They are unquestionably the best team in the Eastern Conference and this week, they are #1 on our list!
 

Last Week: 1 |  This Week: 2  
For the first time all season, the Reapers find themselves looking up in the Power Rankings! Like I mentioned while recapping the Kings, this could easily be flip-flopped as both these top 2 teams are total powerhouses in their own right. While I may go as far to say the Kings are a more complete team overall, the Reapers are right there with them and I think they pack more of a punch with their top end talent also.  The top line for Philly continues to reap offensive benefits as the top line of McLaren, Bouchard and Marimoto are ALL in the top 5 for scoring right now. At this point, there seems to be no stopping that line. What's even crazier is some of the supporting cast that's been developing in Philly this season also! @EynhallowIsau DaMoose has been a top TPE earner the past few weeks and it's starting to show! DaMoose just surpassed his point total last season with his 28th point of the year. Last year it took him 52 games to get 27 points, so you can see the progress this player has made. Also many people may overlook @CrazyCaityCatCaitlyn Catowize since the numbers aren't jumping off the page at you. This prospect is playing a depth role because she's on a LOADED Philly squad, but make no mistake, this will be a player to watch heading into the VHL Entry Draft and VHLM Dispersal Draft next season! And rounding things out is the rock-steady @Greg_DiTom Eagles.  This S76 recreate is developing at a rapid pace and it proving to be the D-man Philly needed him to be this season. 
 

Last Week: 6 | This Week: 3 
The biggest jump up in the Power Rankings this week belongs to the San Diego Marlins. The Marlins enjoyed a red-hot week of sims and have went 7-2-1 in their last 10 games, including a victory over the powerhouse Philadelphia Reapers.  While @ProutCowboy Prout and @fromtheinsideScotty Kaberle continue to go 1-2 in defensemen scoring leaguewide, @Jonessee27Nero Endrizzi and @TateRed Lite have carried the core of forwards on the team with 38 and 40 points a piece. GM @InstantRockstar identified the teams lack of scoring depth yesterday and went out and acquired @Nepto Maksim Yakolevsky from Ottawa. This marks the second consecutive week Maksim has been traded but this could prove to be a massive addition for the Marlins. San Diego fans are hoping that by bringing in Yakolevsky, the team can finally spark some offense on their second line. Getting some production from their offensive depth could really put the Marlins over the edge and maybe even push them in "contender" status. The have elite scoring. They have a defensive core that is second to none, and goalie @MSO94 Michael Olson has started to show some signs of improvement after a slow start to his season, posting 2 shutouts in the past 7 days. 
 

Last Week: 5 | This Week: 4 
Moving up for the second consecutive week is the Saskatoon Wild. Going 5-4-1 in their past 10, the Wild are starting to find their form. Florent Vericel and Steve Eso continue to lead the way up front but @coochimanVivek Weiner and @dshervill"Big Daddy" Braxton Hunter  continue you to develop nicely in their sophomore seasons. Meanwhile back on D, to nobodies surprise,  rookie prospect @Acydburn Battre Sandstrom has really started to make his mark on the club. He has been the Wild's better D-man thus far, leading in points as well as plus/minus. Among the returning blue-liners @yevtySilas LaFriend seems to have regained some of that rookie desire he had from last season, posting 31 TPE over the past two weeks and eclipsing the 200 TPE milestone. On the flipside though,  @GeckoeyGeckoGabriel Johnson has in my eyes been a disappointment this season. Last season Johnson was the cornerstone of the Wild's blueline and yours truly was lucky enough to play alongside him in my rookie season. Johnson was the player I strived to be like. He was in a prime position to cap his player in Season 75 and completely dominate all year.  While he has 23 points which is not at all bad, he could have been that piece to put the Wild over the top this season. If he took some time away from Summoner's Rift and hit the gym for some training, he could still be a huge player wherever he plays. Luckily, the Wild are getting lots of contributions elsewhere to make up for it. In net, @DragonFire420 continues to improve weekly.
 

Last Week: 4 | This Week: 5 
Another week, another spot lower in the rankings for @SpartanSpraytan and his Las Vegas Aces. The past week has not been great for the Aces. The club managed to go 5-5 in their past 10, with one of their losses coming at the hands of the lowly Ottawa Lynx (yikes). On top of the humiliating loss, they ALMOST lost a second contest to Ottawa, and they also dropped a contest to the Mississauga Hounds. Of their past 10 games, 6 games were against bottom tier teams in the league, so going 5-5 is really not much of an accomplishment. Despite all this, I still do believe Las Vegas is one of the better teams in our league. As mentioned in previous weeks of the Power Rankings, the top 4 defensemen for the Aces is unrivaled in the VHLM. Offensively @SimmerDown99Connor Sim has emerged as Vegas' trump card this year. Having just passed the 200 TPE mark, Sim has led the way with 19 goals for the Aces. Vegas is really going to need him to keep up his breakout season if they want to remain in the mix for the Founders Cup. Perhaps the Aces management will be looking to acquire a forward before the deadline to help bolster their offense?  Despite only putting up 18 points, sophomore @NordinKelly Power has also developed nicely this season as a dependable girinder type forward. Along with his 18 points, Power has amassed an amazing 111 hits already this year, along with 44 PIMS. Opponents know they can expect a rough night at the office when they roll into Vegas for a game against the Aces.
 

Last Week: 3 | This Week: 6 
Our biggest fall in the Power Rankings this week goes to the reigning, defending champions- the Miami Marauders. First off, I will take part of the blame for Miami's plummet to the 6 spot. I put them at 3 last week, and maybe that was an oversight on my behalf. But regardless of whether I had them at 3 or 4 last week,  they have certainly experiences a little bit of struggle over the past week.  While they did go 6-4 in their previous 10 games, many of those games were against weaker Eastern Conference opponents. The offensive has been sporadic as of late for Miami. Six of their last 10 games, the Marauders have only mustered 3 or less goals. And while they did post a couple of 7-spots in that 10 game stretch, it does seem as though Miami has hit a bit of a speedbump on their road to a title defense.  After coming out of the gate absolutely white-hot, the tandem of @RedSusCabe McJake and @Jayrad28Ryan Ryker have really slowed down as of late. Ryker especially comes as a surprised. As a forward I had pegged to have a monster year, the young right-winger has dipped below the point per game mark and it's also worth noting he just claimed welfare for the first week of December. At one point Ryker had been a top earner so I was surpised he claimed welfare, especially since he is so close to being capped out for the season. Another thing that Miami might be lacking is some real depth at the center position. This is no surprise as many teams in the M this season are short on good centremen.  The Marauders also could use some depth on defense as the TPE dips off pretty hard after @chiknChicken Wing and @Martin BradacMartin Master (both of whom are having decent campaigns). But if there is one thing that I- and the rest of the VHLM community knows- it's not to ever count out @Ricer13GM Ricer and his team. There's still plenty of time left to rectify some of their issues and all things considered, they are still a very formidable opponent. They also have the advantage of playing in the East, so they should be lock for a playoff spot.
 

Last Week: 8 This Week: 7
Up one spot this week to number 7 is the Halifax 21st, ran by noted uprising-thwarter @Dil. Despite the man's hate for AGM's everywhere, he does a pretty good job of fielding a competitive club in the VHLM. As the saying goes, you're only as good as your best player, and that is especially true for this club.  @DolantDolant Ferititta continues his dominance of the minor leagues with 49 points in 30 games, which is just one off the pace for tops in the league (currently held by @tcookie25 Addison McLaren).  While the 21st have some decent support pieces,  I feel the Boatgang is in the same boat as the Marauders. Not alot of talent up the middle. Though their top man in between the dots is @StamkosFanEmpty with a respectable 180 TPE, he isn't putting much effort into developing his player, and after him there isn't much too speak of on the depth chart unfortunately. I guess the real question is will Dil be a buyer or seller at the trade deadline. Does he try to play the Miami role and maybe sneak into the playoffs as a low seed and make a run? If so he will need to add a piece or two at the deadline. On the flipside, Fertitta could fetch a high price as a rental player for a contender and Halifax could stand to replenish the cupboards a bit and refocus on next season. It should be interesting to see which way Halifax goes, because at this point it literally could go either way. Only time will tell. 
 

Last Week: 7 | This Week: 8 
 
In a week that saw the Rush go 5-5, they fall yet another spot to 8. Their 5-5 stint is sort of a microcosm of their season thus far. A team that has potential to do well, yet is mired in mediocrity. When you really boil it down, Yukon is one of a few teams who are victim to the uber-competitive Western Conference. Even last place Houston is on a three game win streak and there are literally no easy games within those 6 teams. While it is great for parody in the league, Yukon execs are pulling their hair out trying to figure out how to come out ahead in this juggernaut conference. Both player acquired via trade this season have yielded positive results for Yukon. @Jake Sumner has potted 17 goals and 30 points, meanwhile just a week into his Yukon stint, center @TenZiKevin Sterk has posted 17 points (5G, 12A) in just 13 games. Meanwhile team captain @GreenGatoVick Fairchild continues to show why he wears the "C" as not only does he lead the team with 35 points (11G, 24A) but he also has been a max earner every week since joining the Rush. Meanwhile back on the blueline, @GoliathusTee Pee E II continues to lead the team as their top defenseman, however, young rookie prospect Kristof Welch has came onto the VHLM scene like a bat out of hell, already at 129TPE in his first few weeks in the league.  While only putting up 7 points in 20 games, don't be deceived, by my estimation this blue-chip rookie is going to have an incredible career and is already the talk of the S75 drafts. On the last line of defense, goaltender @Kloxified continues to develop in preparation for his callup to Chicago next season. He is having a stellar season and the Rush will need him at his best if they plan on doing anything in the playoffs this season.
 

Last Week: 10 | This Week: 9  
We've made it all the way to number 9, and Houston is the first team to hold at their original position from last week. That just goes to show how close things are this season with so many teams jockeying for position amongst the standings, and Houston really is not an exception to that either.  Although they didn't get out of the 9 hole this week, Houston rides a 3 game winning streak going into the end of the week, with the last of those 3 wins coming against the #1 ranked Mexico City Kings. They also just barely were edged out by the Kings at the start of the week. This is yet another example of just how tight things are this year. Left winger @domg5 Dominic Gobeil continues to impress in his second year campaign, tallying 18 goals and 18 assists for 36 points, which leads all Bulls players. Fellow winger @WebberjJon Webber is also having himself a solid season. Perhaps he should share some of his secret training tips to brother @WebberPPaul, as John is 11 points ahead in the Battle of Brothers Webb.  There is still plenty of time for this Houston team to keep developing. This team is almost exclusively made up of sophomores, so it's essential that the Bulls' players are working hard to earn as much as they can. If the whole team commits, its very possible for Houston to secure themselves a spot in the playoffs this season. And even looking forward, it seems like many of the players will be eligible to come back next season. Perhaps the Bulls are looking towards season 76 to be a dominant team, in which case one could speculate if Gobeil is moved before the deadline as he will mostly be going pro next season. Regardless, Houston is definitely an interesting team worth keeping tabs on. 
 

Last Week: 11 | This Week: 10 
Flip-flopping with the Storm this week and coming in at number 10 is the Mississauga Hounds. Sadly, 10th is the highest I think the Hounds will end up being on this list the rest of the way.  Having posted an 11-17-1 record thus far, it's clear that the focus for the Hounds needs to be on the future. That being said, there are a pair of draft eligible wingers on this team that are most definitely worth keeping an eye on.  Finnish left winger@JollineEeli Rantanen has come strong out of the gate having already accumulated 125 TPE in just over 2 weeks! Seemingly inspired by Finnish countryman the Finnish Flash,  Rantanen has focused mainly on speed and scoring so far in their development. It's definitely paying dividends as Eeli has 38 points in just 29 games. Not to be outdone, teammate @SljppersErin Esurance has also come into the VHLM guns ablazing, earning 127 TPE in roughly the same timeframe as their teammate. Double E has opted for a more balanced build but has still has produced at more than a point-per-game pace (15G, 14A in 27 games).  Esurance has also jumped to the top of the TPE leaderboard this week in the early going, already posting a very impressive 35 TPE. These two are prime candidates to be high first round picks come draft time in the offseason.  While the S76 draft class may not be as robust as last season, there is surely no shortage in quality players to choose from, that's unquestionable.  Hopefully these two left-wingers keep doing what they're doing! Great job guys! As for the Hounds, look for them to potentially be sellers before the trade deadline and recoup some assets heading into the draft.
 

Last Week: 10 | This Week: 11 
Swapping places with the Hounds this week, Minnesota comes in at 11. While the season started on a somewhat high-note for the Storm, they have since went off the rails and seemingly are at the point of no return.  While they have done a decent job at signing some rookies off waivers, none of them have been notable earners like the aforementioned rookies on Mississauga. Are the Storm unlucky or perhaps there needs to be better leadership amongst the team to help get the young guys going. I'm not in the locker room, so it's hard for me to say. Of all the players on the roster, last week none of them did a 6 point media task and only 4 of them amassed 10 TPE or more. Not being a competitive team might happen from time to time, but it's truly unfortunate when a whole roster of players IN THE MINORS (where it's the best time to develop) are hardly doing the bare minimum.  Do better Minnesota.
 

Last Week: 12 | This Week: 12 
Well, Ottawa won another game, so that's good right? We all know this season is a write-off, but unlike the Storm, there are a few positives this week for the Lynx. Aside from beating the Hounds 4-3 over the weekend, they also got another point against a strong Las Vegas team, just barely losing in a shootout. Ottawa slowly is building their roster up also, this week signing another defenseman, which brings them to a total of 2! All kidding aside, I am excited about a recent waiver pickup Ottawa made. Left winger @IHateBobNuttingPhillip Stein has been in the league for less than 2 weeks, but he will surely be cracking triple digits TPE this week, which in turn will allow him to gain his First Gen Bonus. Getting over 110 TPE in under 3 weeks is great progress. He has contributed some quality content and is on pace to be a high end pick in next season's draft. Keep up the great work Phil. 
 
Another week of Power Rankings in the books. This week saw a whole lot of movement and turbulence in the rankings. As we've said numerous times over the past few weeks, this season is insanely close and it really is anybody's ball game this year. I'd consider Mexico City and Philadelphia the clear-cut top two, but after that, spots 3-10 are wide open for the taking. We are closing in on the half way point in the season and there are definitely more questions than answers. I imagine come trade deadline we could see some movement from teams trying to get themselves over the hump and legitimize their championship chances. Until next week, keep earning that TPE and keep improving! Cheers!

Q. 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.”

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.”

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.

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

Goodevening Ladies and Gentlemen , My name is Spence Elsby and I am the Founder and CFO of Elsby’s Agency of Excellence. This Agency will be run by my brother Cam who will be documenting a roster of players that we have carefully chosen and look forward to providing our clients with extra publicity and increasing their overall experience here in the VHL. This idea came from my personal agent at Raven Skill Academy, I thought I could provide a similar amazing experience to more of the vhl community <3. The goal of this agency is to provide a more realistic experience in attempt to engage more users together, will be doing articles providing updates on all players whether hot or cold and tracking their individual TPE earnings and exactly how the users are getting there. We are more than proud to have S76 Draft Eligible clients who we will also be commenting on their draft status as well as a mix of VHL Pros and VHLM Rookies. This article is truly just an introduction to our clients and a SMALL taste of what’s to come and who we will be focusing on. The Roster is not finalized*. Without further a due here the official announcement I am proud to partner with these amazing users and future Hall of Famers;

Q. 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.”

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.”

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.

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.

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

Goodevening Ladies and Gentlemen , My name is Spence Elsby and I am the Founder and CFO of Elsby’s Agency of Excellence. This Agency will be run by my brother Cam who will be documenting a roster of players that we have carefully chosen and look forward to providing our clients with extra publicity and increasing their overall experience here in the VHL. This idea came from my personal agent at Raven Skill Academy, I thought I could provide a similar amazing experience to more of the vhl community <3. The goal of this agency is to provide a more realistic experience in attempt to engage more users together, will be doing articles providing updates on all players whether hot or cold and tracking their individual TPE earnings and exactly how the users are getting there. We are more than proud to have S76 Draft Eligible clients who we will also be commenting on their draft status as well as a mix of VHL Pros and VHLM Rookies. This article is truly just an introduction to our clients and a SMALL taste of what’s to come and who we will be focusing on. The Roster is not finalized*. Without further a due here the official announcement I am proud to partner with these amazing users and future Hall of Famers;

Q. 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.”

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.”

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 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.

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

Goodevening Ladies and Gentlemen , My name is Spence Elsby and I am the Founder and CFO of Elsby’s Agency of Excellence. This Agency will be run by my brother Cam who will be documenting a roster of players that we have carefully chosen and look forward to providing our clients with extra publicity and increasing their overall experience here in the VHL. This idea came from my personal agent at Raven Skill Academy, I thought I could provide a similar amazing experience to more of the vhl community <3. The goal of this agency is to provide a more realistic experience in attempt to engage more users together, will be doing articles providing updates on all players whether hot or cold and tracking their individual TPE earnings and exactly how the users are getting there. We are more than proud to have S76 Draft Eligible clients who we will also be commenting on their draft status as well as a mix of VHL Pros and VHLM Rookies. This article is truly just an introduction to our clients and a SMALL taste of what’s to come and who we will be focusing on. The Roster is not finalized*. Without further a due here the official announcement I am proud to partner with these amazing users and future Hall of Famers;

Q. 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.”

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.”

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.

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

Goodevening Ladies and Gentlemen , My name is Spence Elsby and I am the Founder and CFO of Elsby’s Agency of Excellence. This Agency will be run by my brother Cam who will be documenting a roster of players that we have carefully chosen and look forward to providing our clients with extra publicity and increasing their overall experience here in the VHL. This idea came from my personal agent at Raven Skill Academy, I thought I could provide a similar amazing experience to more of the vhl community <3. The goal of this agency is to provide a more realistic experience in attempt to engage more users together, will be doing articles providing updates on all players whether hot or cold and tracking their individual TPE earnings and exactly how the users are getting there. We are more than proud to have S76 Draft Eligible clients who we will also be commenting on their draft status as well as a mix of VHL Pros and VHLM Rookies. This article is truly just an introduction to our clients and a SMALL taste of what’s to come and who we will be focusing on. The Roster is not finalized*. Without further a due here the official announcement I am proud to partner with these amazing users and future Hall of Famers;

Q. 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.”

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.”

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.

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

Goodevening Ladies and Gentlemen , My name is Spence Elsby and I am the Founder and CFO of Elsby’s Agency of Excellence. This Agency will be run by my brother Cam who will be documenting a roster of players that we have carefully chosen and look forward to providing our clients with extra publicity and increasing their overall experience here in the VHL. This idea came from my personal agent at Raven Skill Academy, I thought I could provide a similar amazing experience to more of the vhl community <3. The goal of this agency is to provide a more realistic experience in attempt to engage more users together, will be doing articles providing updates on all players whether hot or cold and tracking their individual TPE earnings and exactly how the users are getting there. We are more than proud to have S76 Draft Eligible clients who we will also be commenting on their draft status as well as a mix of VHL Pros and VHLM Rookies. This article is truly just an introduction to our clients and a SMALL taste of what’s to come and who we will be focusing on. The Roster is not finalized*. Without further a due here the official announcement I am proud to partner with these amazing users and future Hall of Famers;

Q. 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.”

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.”

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.”

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.

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

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

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 

Very nicely written as it provided some great insight to the teams past and information that lead into the draft this season. Also interesting to see all the players selected and the thought process behind select each of the players. Great read and look forward to more.

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.

imagine working with beaviss

Hello All,

The Vancouver Wolves would like to announce we have changed Assistant General Manager's. We would like to thank @Emifor all her hard work when it comes to the draft and keeping the locker room buzzing and doing pressers weekly! That being said we are also excited to announce our newest Assistant General Manager hiring!

The Vancouver Wolves have hired @Spence King to become the new Assistant General Manager. I had some interviews with other potential candidates but Spence was the right fit. His in-depth knowledge of scouting and eagerness to learn the role was a massive plus. I'm excited to get to work with Spence and to lead the Wolves to a possible back to back!
 
 

 
Beaviss
-Vancouver Wolves General Manager

 

We already talked about this a bit but congrats @Spence King! I know you’ll  do great in Vancouver.

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?
 
I don't mind people having doubts, we have to prove our worth every day on the ice, just because we had a ton of picks in the draft and our GMs used them wisely doesn't mean that we'll be gifted anything.
 
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 ? 
 
A cape sounds about right... With the addition that it can't be washed at all until the end of the season so the longer the year goes on, the more people will feel like the actual Reaper is coming for them when putting it on.
 
3)How often do you check the VHLM Standings?
 
Not that often to be completely honest. I'm looking from game to game and the only Standings that really matter are the ones at the end of the season.
 
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?
 
We can't get complacent after the good start we had because as Mexico's recent run has shown us, things can change very quickly and if you take your foot off the gas for only one second, a new challenger will already be there hungry to take the reigns from you.
 
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?
 
A lot of teams have one strong special teams unit, especially on the Powerplay, and then another one that basically only comes on the ice when the top-guys need a breather. We on the other hand have enough quality and depth to run two equally strong units which makes things a lot harder for our opponents.
 
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.
 
Quality, depth and a willingness to work hard day in and day out.

1 - Nothing is a given. Mexico and San Diego are playing great and there are a bunch of other teams that have good rosters that are constantly improving, so the gap between the best teams and the other playoff teams is going to keep shrinking. All I know is we have a great group here and we're going to work hard and give it our best in the playoffs, you won't catch us being complacent.
 
2 - A scythe seems like a cool, thematic idea, I'd go with that.
 
3 - I check the standings, league leaders, etc. every day. I like to know what's going on in the league.
 
4 - We've got a really good, deep team and we bring it every night. We've got a lot of secondary scoring; if someone or a line has an off night there's always someone there to step up. But as far as our recent play goes, I'm a little disappointed with the results over our last 4 games particularly the loss to Mexico and that will leave a sour taste in my mouth until we get a chance to avenge it.
 
5 - Unfortunately we just didn't bring our best in a game against a team that we need to do that to have a chance. They are just as good as us, so we've got to be sharp and do all the little things right when we play them. I think we'll do better next time out.
 
8 - We've got a lot of good players and it has translated into a lot of scoring depth. There are players like Catowize and Zolnek and Viitanen that would absolutely be playing bigger minutes on other teams and they have an advantage over the bottom six that other teams are able to throw out there so no matter what line we have on the ice, we have players that can be dangerous.
