Where are they now?  The season 81 team of the San Diego Marlins had some major young talent leading up to the draft.  While they didn’t make it to the finals that year, many on that team are guaranteed to be future VHL stars.  
 
Let’s start in goal.  That season the Marlins had two great goaltenders.  
 
Dusty Wilson- @dustywilson22The dust bin was a more than reliable back up that went 44th overall in the VHL draft.  While earning backup minutes he was a steady and reliable hand when between the pipes. He is currently with the Cologne Express learning from goaltending stud Anime Protagonist.  We expect in no time Wilson will be a go to leader in the VHL.
 
Bubbles Utonium- @fishy When God created goaltenders he had Utonium in mind.  Drafted 2nd overall in the VHL by the D.C Dragons we expect he will be a household name in just a few short years. This dude is a stud and stops pucks.  Currently with a struggling Vasteras Iron Eagles team he is getting top minutes and earning TPE like a beast.  
 
DEFENSE
 
Nikita Eklund- A passing machine he led the Marlin’s dcore with 75 assists.  Currently in the E for Cologne he has gone a little quiet but lookout when his game is going.  He’s deadly.  
 
Maxwell Mathias- What can you say bad about this Dman?  NOTHING. @Underclass_HeroDrafted 15th overall by Warsaw he’s currently tearing up the E for Geneva. A defensive shut down artist and offensively gifted he is probably the defenseman all new defensemen should model their game after.  
 
Tavish Degroot –  Like Mathias, Degroot @roryis potentially another hall of famer.  Plays an offensive game with a heavy dose of GRIT!  With 220 hits and 162 PIMs for the Marlins he makes opposing forwards pay for coming near him.  A potential #1 overall draft status he fell to the New York Americans at #20.  Making the jump directly to the show has not stunted his ability.  He is currently scoring and smashing people in New York.
 
Brian Payne- A VHLM rookie last year he started slow trying to adjust to better competition.  Under the leadership of his management team and a strong defensive core mentoring him his game grew a ton. He plays a heavy game and enjoys stopping pucks and hitting his opposition.  Drafted 26th overall by Warsaw he is currently in the E for the Bratislava Watchman. Playing alongside former VHLM rival, Bo Johansson @Shindigs look for great things in the future for this bruising Dman.
 
 
FORWARDS:
 
Johnny Xavier-  Xavier was a constant on the scoresheet for the Marlins in S81. A power play genius and pure offensive talent.  He was drafted in 81 by Helsinki he is currently scoring like crazy in the E for Cologne. 
The Board Game Clue on Skates- Arguably the best name in Hockey all time.  Right next to Ogie Oglethorpe. This dude is a STUD! Pure offensive scorer and amazing teammate.  He was a scoring machine for the Marlins with 32 goals.  Drafted 4th overall by Chicago in the VHL.  He is currently in the E for the Geneva Rush where he is over a point a game.  It will be exciting to see him grow into a hall of fame forward in the VHL for sure.

Christopher Young- Another gifted scorer that tallied 39 goals for the Marlins in S81.  A definite Lady Bing candidate too as he only had 12 PIMS on a team that was known for their mean streak.  Drafted by LA in the VHL he is currently playing for the Vasteras Iron Eagles where he has 12 goals in 18 games for them.  
 
 
While there are many more players on the Marlins that could be listed here, I will be end here. The Marlins were a solid, active, and fun team to be a part of and it showed on the ice.  While they didn’t win a championship, they formed a bond and created players who want the VHL to be a competitive and fun place to play.   We look forward to seeing these former teammates battle it out.

Appreciate the opportunity with the Storm, @Underclass_Hero!

Happy to move to Cologne, @BarzalGoat!

Thanks to @Underclass_Herofor the trade discussions as always.
 
@Lainewelcome aboard

Time for a review:
I like the font which you made the text inside of the picture in because it looks agressive such as the name of the player. I also like the fact that the player has a shadow on him implying that there is something in front of him which is making the shadow. The third thing which I liked in the picture was the golden background which is identical to the jersey of the player. One thing which I didn’t like however was the S being hidden behind the player. Other than that, it’s a great article. 9/10

Kai also means Shell, Sea and recovery in Japanese depending on how it is written. The Keeper of the Keys tag refers to the Earth.

So what LRs are you guys in that are dead? I just went through all the E LRs and neither of you are in there. So how would you know if an LR is active or not if you're not there? I see posts and conversations everyday in each one of them. I will 100% always stick up for the E GMS who are doing their job and doing what they're supposed to be doing.
 
All I've seen are these assumptions that it's the E's fault that members are leaving. Members left way before the E and will continue to leave regardless of what the GMs are doing/not doing. The point where most members leave are between 100 (higher now actually with the TPE granted if you sign up after the season) and about 300. Which is exactly where the E is. The point where a player leaves the site shifted from just graduating to the VHL to graduating to the E. The E was created to accommodate the members who just didn't have a spot in the VHL. When the E was created the numbers supported it as such, the numbers supported moving 2 teams from the M to the E. Now the numbers show that we don't have enough members in the VHL, suddenly that's the E's fault? No, because the majority of the members in the E wouldn't have been on teams in the VHL before the creation of the E.
 
VHL GMs are as much to blame as M or E GMs. No one talks about how VHL GMs are inactive, mismanagement of assets or blatantly skirt the rules. We're not sitting here calling out VHL GMs when their players go IA from lack of engagement, don't say that's not the job of a VHL GM because it absolutely is. So lets not ASSUME that the E GMS aren't doing their job.

Group Complete

1. Man, I just, like, see us all in this, like universe, man.
 
2. James Teekirque
 
3. The demons that dwell inside me.
 
4. The Hounds and Davos. Screw any team that isn't mine!
 
5. Not sure yet, still getting to know the room.
 
6. Yeah, it's not gonna be fun. Not that part.

1. Entering this season where do you see yourself? 
The Board Game Clue On Skates cannot see itself anywhere at any time, it was made without eyes to see nor the brain to think. 
2. Who is your favorite player in the VHL? 
The Board Game Clue On Skates rests on it's chair, facing motionlessly in your direction after your question, perhaps smugly insinuating that The Board Game Clue On Skates favourite player is, perhaps controversially, The Board Game Clue On Skates.
3. Who is someone you're looking forward to playing against this season? 
There is no response from The Board Game Clue On Skates, but maybe that's because The Board Game Clue On Skates does not play favourites? In it's cardboard shell, everyone is set to become a victim just like Mr. Boddy
4.  Which team other than Oslo would you like to see succeed? 
The Board Game Clue On Skates utters no words, but instead watches on. A subtle hint maybe that the Watchmen are among its other favourite teams? Who knows.
5.  Who would you say is the leader of this Oslo squad?
Maybe it is not the motivational leader of the Oslo Storm, but The Board Game Clue On Skates ahead of you is without doubt the sales leader on the team, having been sold over 150 million times according to the Internet.
6.  With it being announced that Oslo has to use their back up goalie for 40 games this season -- Do you see this ultimately hindering the squad?
The Board Game Clue On Skates is speechless! Granted, this is not a surprise, but in this instant I think it would be justified. Can one truly be a backup if it plays more than their starter? At that point, who is the backup?!?!

So today I learned that you can make REALLY long titles on the forums. I also learned that Clue Glue™ is even more versatile than we thought!

Does Your Beard Even Lift, Bro?
