Congratulations on the appointments. 

We're still new to the post-Landry era, and he was basically just perennial captain, so this was a weirder one. The votes came in, and 1 and 2 were fairly clear, but there was a 3 way tie for 3rd, which to be fair just shows the team has a wider range of support which is always welcome. After no tiebreaking vote came about, I made the executive decision on the final A. I also certainly back the voters' preferences on the other two as well. 
 
Captain: @Domg5 Dominic Gobeil
1st A: @Acydburn Battre Sandstrom
2nd A (the one I tiebroke): @Gaikoku-hito Robert Bouchard

Throwing my name in the hat ! I would love the opportunity ! 

Applying !! 🎩

i would be honored !!! 

Well done. I love this inside look of a player's mind and what they are thinking. Could've been a break in the formatting instead of one giant paragraph but not a huge deal. This definitely gets us thinking about what the player might do and where he is going next season as well as the stress and pressure being put on him. I enjoy articles that are through the eyes of a player and this one is well done and tells us something we wouldn't know otherwise. Stats are something we can all see but thoughts, well I am not a mind reader.
 
9/10

I'd like to start off this article by quickly shouting out the fans in Istanbul. They have been absolutely awesome throughout the start of the season. Although we don't sit top of the league right now, I am confident we can turn it around. The fans will be a huge part of it. As someone who is close to getting past the TPE area for the VHLE. I am still thinking about how long I really want to stay here. I had a rough season in the VHL with Helsinki last year, but I am off to a good start with 9 points in 6 games, 3 of those games being wins. I think there is two ways to look at this. You can either look at it as a league or just player development. I I love Istanbul, but playing in the VHL is a huge opportunity and once next season comes around, there is no doubt in my mind that I will be off to the VHL once again. As an offensive minded player, playing in the pre draft tournament and putting up the numbers I did made me realize that I can use this as an opportunity to get my game right this season before heading back. But there's also the fact that I absolutely love playing in Istanbul. The fans are great and the city is great but who knows what the VHLE holds in store. In my final VHLM year with Minnesota, I had my best season ever., putting up 83 points in 72 games en route to a Founder's Cup final appearance. Halfway through that season is when I realized that I was ready to move up. I feel like that's a similar situation to what I am in right now. I love where I'm at but I want to be under the brightest lights in the VHL. Don't get me wrong, I will cherish my time in the VHLE no matter how long I stay here. I know that as one of the higher TPE guys on the team, I feel like I am under some pressure to perform well. Have I ever felt this pressure before? No. It's completely new to me. How can I handle it? I don't know. As a fairly new member, how I can handle the pressure that I think I have, that I think will be the biggest challenge for me. I have to do my best to tune out all outside noise and just focus on my game. I know I can score a ton of points and I know I am a really good player. I just can't let myself get overwhelmed.
 
In conclusion, I have some fears going in to this season but I know the fans here in Istanbul have got my back, as well as the guys in the locker room. I will be one and done in the VHLE, so I have to make the one season I have here count. I hope I will.
 
Heavems out.

Its LeFlamantGoat!  Grats man!

the best stories happen on interim time

You made me think my record was safe you fucker

963 days May 11th, 2016 - Present (Dec 30/18)
  Gonna get that 1,000 days of GM this season.     

Way to give me a bloody heart attack seeing that title in my unread posts haha

Result: 870 days
It is 870 days from the start date to the end date, but not including the end date
Or 2 years, 4 months, 17 days excluding the end date
 
 
 
 
 
AND COUNTING! Geeze time flies.. doesn't feel that long..

congrats banadick. be great to play under your reign again. 

Congrats and good luck going forward.

Wanted you to have the shot. As a former 7+ season Bears player, hope you take advantage 

Mike has decided to step down as Seattle Bears GM. His service is appreciated.
 
Banackock, a member who has achieved much success in the world of VHLM GM'ing, will be taking over effective immediately. In line with recent GM transitions such as Davos, Seattle will be forced to use their S49 1st (7th Overall) on his player, Sven Wolf. 
 
Thank you for your time and please direct any and all questions/concerns/criticisms to someone who isn't me. You are, however, permitted to direct compliments at me.

2nd Overall pick: Nils Godlander [RW] @Moon_50
 
To be honest, Moon is one of the most active guys in the VHL right now.
Good at getting TPE, Playing it smart, this guy has got it down!
One of the most greatest pick in the draft.
 
12th Overall pick: Biggie Cheese [D] @a_Ferk
 
Ferk. Need I say more?

19th Overall pick: Cameron Elsby [D] @Spence King
 
Very active guy, works for the VSN, you know this guy is going to get tons of TPE.
One point under a point per game this season with the Bulls.
Already a career high.
 
22nd Overall pick: James glove dropper [LW] @Jamomayo
 
I know this guy can get points and TPE. Very much points and TPE.
This guy with 30 points in 11 games. Wow. That is a lot.
 
25th Overall pick: Mike Hroch [G] @Jabs
 
This is a pick where we just wait and see how it goes. That's all.
Also he has no losses so yeah that's pretty grea-
All jokes aside, he needs to find other ways of getting TPE other that welfare and PF.
 
34th Overall pick: Adeline Delle Donne [C] @Dtayl
 
This guy, mate, this guy! With only 79 TPE, he pushes through and gets over 1 point per game.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥10/10 
This looks like something i would open from the upper deck card series. The idea and background flow great and the logo swap is extremely impressive as i know myself jsut how hard that it is ! this is a clean "hockey card" Looking forward to seeing what you have to come next ! this is awesome ! 
 

My vhl experience so far
 
    So just like most of you I am new here and I have never done anything like this before and let me tell you this I love it so far it has actually been way above my expectations from the people to the actually league I am having so much fun and I’m trying to be active as possible and build the best player I can. 
 
So what I have experienced so far I came into league not expecting much and I joined the houstan bulls as a mid season waiver pick up and they were in a middle of a rebuild and my time in houstan were not what I was expecting it sucked losing right of the bat and I did ask for a trade I do regret this but I was just new and I didn’t really know what to do. I got traded to Miami and I dare say it saved my time here as they really showed me how to do things and to get me noticed I won the founders cup with Miami in my first season and it got me noticed enough to join the royals in the junior showcase and ever since I joined the royals I have been the most active collecting as much tpe as I possible can and having people help me create my player as best as I can thanks to moon and matty and minion as they helped me out so much and same with bek they helped me and they kept me here cause If it wasn’t for them I probally would of quite.
 
Since they started helping me I got drafted back to houstan and I plan on staying I want to help them be great and I also draft to London in the vhl we’re I can’t wait to play once my time has come and I hope for many more season in the vhl and to see what else is to come thanks for everybody who read this. This whole league is great from the players to the mangers and to the people who make it all happen thank you for making such a great experience for us all.

Review- In my opinion is that this turned out really good everything works out so well and that it actually looks like something you would see on TSN. Now there isn’t much wrong with this except I notice one little thing and that is the black background and your logos stand out a lot other than that it’s really good I’m giving it a 9.5 out of 10
