Yeah, toggling the bold option here did absolutely nothing. For some reason, it decided to treat my copying and pasting as posting images. New update sux!

@Will Here is @McWolf's article. Formatting was a bitch copying it over from Word, did the best I could there.

Position: D Birthplace: London, England Height: 6'2" Weight: 199 lbs Jersey Number: 49 Drafted: S33 Round 1, Pick 2 (New York) Username: McWolf Joseph McWolf can only be described as the epitome of consistency. Despite no Continental Cup wins, McWolf put together a career of success and strong play everywhere he went. In just his second season, he was named the top defenseman in the league – a feat not easily accomplished. His style of play was magnificent to watch, as he was a defensemen who simply did it all. A physical defender with elite passing and athleticism, Joseph McWolf is sure to have inspired a generation of defensemen who try to mimic his two-way prowess. Career Stats Regular Season 576GP / 114G / 433A / 547P / +5 / 1259 SHT / 1243 PIM / 1887 HIT / 1130 SB / 20 GWG / 75 PPG Postseason 37GP / 5G / 19A / 24P / -5 / 87 SHT / 88 PIM / 131 HIT / 68 SB / 0 GWG / 4 PPG Career Awards (S63) Founder’s Cup (OTT) (S64) Sterling Labatte Trophy (Top Defenseman) (NYA) (S67) Alexander Valiq Trophy (Top Offensive Defenseman) (RIG) (S67) Sterling Labatte Trophy (Top Defenseman) (RIG) S62 Ottawa Regular Season 72GP / 8G / 27A / 35P / +18 / 52 SHT / 107 PIM / 238 HIT / 75 SB / 2 GWG Postseason 9GP / 0G / 4A / 4P / +8 / 4 SHT / 16 PIM / 30 HIT / 17 SB / 0 GWG In his lone VHLM season, Joseph McWolf took the opportunity of being on a stacked Ottawa squad to focus heavily on his defensive skillset. Paired alongside more offensively-minded defensemen such as Lando Baxter and Ryan Kastelic, McWolf was content to leave the point scoring to the other skaters on the team as he racked up the hits and provided stout defensive play for the Lynx. McWolf’s defensive contributions helped lead the team in the playoffs, where they downed the Aces in 5 games, and proceeded to sweep Halifax in the finals, finishing his first season with a prestigious award – the Founder’s Cup. S63 New York Regular Season 72GP / 6G / 58A / 64P / -25 / 98 SHT / 126 PIM / 257 HIT / 196 SB / 0 GWG McWolf’s defensive play caught the eye of the New York Americans who traded up from 3rd overall to 2nd overall, while also giving away the 10th overall pick for the chance to pick McWolf. The cost was steep, as the two picks given to Helsinki in exchange for the 2nd overall pick turned into Julian Borwinn – a first-ballot Hall of Famer, and Alexander Pepper, a goalie with over 300 career wins. Both players remained in Helsinki for their entire careers and played a key role in Helsinki’s 4 championship appearances in a row from S64-S67. However, the gamble for McWolf paid off, as he immediately displayed a penchant for being more involved offensively, generating 64 points on top of a 257 hit season along with 196 shots blocked. Despite the contributions from McWolf and fellow stars Scott Shawinganen and Roctrion King, New York missed the playoffs. S64 New York Regular Season 72GP / 18G / 62A / 80P / -7 / 216 SHT / 122 PIM / 205 HIT / 189 SB / 3 GWG In Season 64, McWolf and New York continued to take steps forward. Joseph McWolf peaked offensively in just his second season in the league, posting 80 points to lead the team in points after a rookie season where he displayed a glimpse of more than just being a defensive defenseman. Along with the points, the defensive stats continued to flow, as McWolf posted yet another 200 hit season, and another 189 blocked shots. McWolf’s performance this season earned him his first Labatte Trophy, but New York missed the playoffs yet again, only able to earn 26 wins and 58 points. S65 New York Regular Season 72GP / 10G / 55A / 65P / +4 / 139 SHT / 136 PIM / 224 HIT / 143 SB / 2 GWG Postseason 2GP / 0G / 0A / 0P / +1 / 2 SHT / 2 PIM / 10 HIT / 7 SB / 0 GWG With the addition of star Left Winger Leph Twinger, and the re-emergance of forwards Dan Wilinsky and Vaydar Odinson, Joseph McWolf went back to his stout defensive ways. The defensive team captain put up 65 points, 224 hits, and 143 blocked shots while playing the most minutes on the team. The team’s performance led by the ever-consistent McWolf snuck past Davos in the standings to finally reach the playoffs in McWolf’s 3rd season with the team. However, New York was promptly swept by Helsinki in the first round, and McWolf’s brief playoff experience was over. S66 New York Regular Season 72GP / 12G / 51A / 63P / -8 / 147 SHT / 140 PIM / 250 HIT / 146 SB / 2 GWG Postseason 6GP / 2G / 2A / 4P / -4 / 11 SHT / 16 PIM / 24 HIT / 10 SB / 0 GWG McWolf’s final season with New York displayed the same level of consistent play seen in his past 3 seasons, with yet another 60+ point season, accompanied with 250 hits and 146 blocked shots. Leaving the scoring to Leph Twinger and Dan Wilinsky, McWolf focused on protecting his goalie and laying down his brand of physical play. His leadership and consistency led New York back to the playoffs, this time where they were eliminated in 6 games by Vancouver in the first round. With the lack of playoff success, McWolf waived his No-Trade Clause, and he began the next chapter of his career with Riga. S67 Riga Regular Season 72GP / 27G / 50A / 77P / +9 / 197 SHT / 219 PIM / 239 HIT / 118 SB / 6 GWG Postseason 12GP / 0G / 6A / 6P / 0 / 34 SHT / 34 PIM / 44 HIT / 25 SB / 0 GWG A new era began for McWolf here in Riga, where he experienced a mild career resurgence. Of course, McWolf has long been the epitome of consistency, so the performance really wasn’t too surprising. A career season all-around, with his new high in goals and 2nd highest points total, and one of his stronger defensive performances as well, with 238 hits and 118 blocked shots. Looking back on this team, there were stars or future stars all over this roster. McWolf took on a lead role on a team that featured Apollo Hackett and Lincoln Tate on defense, and Ryan Kastelic and Hunter Hearst Helmsley on offense. For him to explode offensively on this team is quite a feat, one that earned him the Valiq and Labatte trophies. However, the strong season fizzled out in the postseason, where Riga overcame Moscow in round 1, but fell to Helsinki in 6 games in the second round. S68 Riga Regular Season 72GP / 15G / 52A / 67P / +21 / 177 SHT / 162 PIM / 224 HIT / 101 SB / 2 GWG Postseason 11GP / 1G / 7A / 8P / +5 / 28 SHT / 22 PIM / 37 HIT / 17 SB / 0 GWG Riga’s time to win the cup was now, and they made a move this season to acquire Rauno Palo to boost their already formidable offense. As expected, McWolf took a slight step back offensively, while seeing Hackett and Tate developing quickly, but was able to maintain his consistent all-around play for one of the cup favorites. The goals didn’t come as easily, but McWolf added assists from his S67 season, and sharply cut down on his penalty minutes. Another strong season from the London native wasn’t enough to overcome Malmo, as they exited the playoffs in the second round for the second straight season. S69 Malmo Regular Season 72GP / 11G / 50A / 61P / +4 / 123 SHT / 154 PIM / 231 HIT / 110 SB / 2 GWG Postseason 6GP / 2G / 4A / 6P / -7 / 12 SHT / 14 PIM / 16 HIT / 9 SB / 0 GWG If you can’t beat them, join them right? McWolf flashed even more of his trademark consistency in Malmo, while still fighting for the chance to finish his career with just one cup win. Surprisingly, Malmo struggled offensively, which gave McWolf the chance to step up and be the team’s scoring leader with 61 points. Almost more importantly, McWolf was in place to guide future stars Jerry Garcia and Condor Adrienne, both of whom had displayed some flashes of the style McWolf used to play with. Despite the point per game pace in the playoffs, and putting his team on the back through the regular season, McWolf and Malmo made an early exit from the playoffs at the hands of Riga – the very team McWolf had just been on a season ago. S70 New York Regular Season 72GP / 15G / 55A / 70P / +7 / 162 SHT / 184 PIM / 257 HIT / 127 SB / 3 GWG And then, there was one. One final season for McWolf to make a push for a ring. Another extremely strong season from McWolf, despite his age, led New York and their very young core to a strong 36-28-8 record. McWolf had his third strongest point total in his final with 70 points in 72 games, carrying a young roster featuring future stars Lance Flowers, Keven Foreskin, Owen Nolan, and Boris the Forest. Despite his age, McWolf kept up his physical style of play with 257, and continued to block shots to protect his goalie. However, the Americans barely missed out on the playoffs, by just 1 point, and McWolf would announce his retirement shortly after.

Welcome back!

Beyond grateful for this, and truly appreciative for the Vegas players who are probably behind this. Best of luck to the other nominees, every one of you provided fantastic contributions to the league

I can usually do evenings Friday-Sunday, if it's Monday, it'd have to be before 8:30 or after 9:30

Either way, it was nice having you around in LVA and Moscow during my brief time in sim leagues so far, not counting the other leagues you've been a part of with me. Hopefully there's some enjoyment to be found in the actual games portion of the league so you stick around a bit more.

hurts my eyes, prime candidate to be denied

Best of luck in the future my guy. Let's see how the draft starts to play out. Would love to be able to bring you back home!

the correct answer is a bagel shop in NJ ?

Las Vegas AGM Announcement As most of you know, I have been on the hunt for a new AGM to replace @twists, who is stepping down. Twists was an integral part of this past season's Aces squad, helping to bring together first-gens and recreates alike to create and foster a team that has grown in leaps and bounds. His advice and assistance took a rebuilding Aces squad into contention, by being hands on with members and assisting users with their development. It's unusual to see this many active first-gens on one squad, and Twists was a big part of that occurring. I'm sad to see him go, but I know he'll be back in an AGM or GM position in the future. With that being said, I'm proud to announce that I've hired a new AGM to take over from Twists and to be a huge part of a team. There were many qualified candidates, and I enjoyed reading folks' responses. I know that @Z16, @inflastud, @Crstats23, @PatrikLaine, and @Blazzer will receive their opportunities in due time. I highly recommend any of these individuals to other GMs. However, the prime candidate in my eyes, is someone who is available, knowledgeable, passionate, and ready to take the step into the managerial aspect of sim league hockey. I'm thrilled to announce @JigglyGumballs as the new AGM for the Las Vegas Aces! Let's have a fantastic S74. I'm really looking forward to working closely with him!
