Here is a discord link for those tagged! Join us in making this WJC one to remember! 

@Members Yes, you read that right, Trivia!
 
@Squidward0 has put his talents to use and has written trivia onto the portal; don’t go looking mind you, it’s not live just yet. This will allow users to not only to claim trivia immediately upon getting the answers correct (straight on the portal) but also alleviate a lot of the trivia head issues (we’ll still have someone running it, to be hired) AND allow the questions to be randomized from a pool per user so no more sharing 1 person’s answers across the whole league.
 
That last point does bring up an issue though: We need questions! @Victor had a bit of a stockpile of unused questions but we need more. By our estimate the question pool will need to grow by at least 20 questions per season to stay large enough so we need your help. We’ll get a more formal process going once the portal trivia is set up and running (hopefully for next season) but for now we just need things quickly so here’s how this is going to go down:
 
Everyone who wishes to submit a question (or questions) can do so by PMing me the question as well as 4 multiple choice answers (noting the correct one). You can do this for up to 3 questions. Questions should be as usable as possible for many seasons so please try to avoid using things that are too seasonally specific (For example who was last season’s HoF class).
 
We will take as many of these as are valid (ideally all of them) and put them into the question pool. When they all go in I’ll make a claim list with how many questions were used from everyone and for every question you submit that goes to the pool (again, max of 3 please) you will be given 1 uncapped TPE. I will lock this thread once we have put the questions in and are no longer accepting submissions in this manner.
 
Please make sure questions are sent only via forum PM and make sure the subject line reads “Portal Trivia Submission”

Welcome to the S81 Edition of the World Junior Championship!
 
      First off,  want to thank everyone who applied for the General Managers. We appreciate the time and effort that goes into applying and going through the interview process. No matter the experience everyone is taken into serious consideration and between myself, @rjfrymanand @Squidward2 we feel we have selected an amazing group of members to manage our Nation's teams. For those who did not get a position please do not let this discourage you, there are only so many spots and too many really great applicants which always makes this decision difficult. With all of that being said we would like to congratulate the following:
 
🇨🇦Team Canada🇨🇦
 
 

🇺🇸Team USA🇺🇸
 
 
 
Team Europe
 
 
 
🌏Team Asia🌏
 
 
 
🗺️Team World🗺️
 
 

Gratz Underclass!

As I wake up this morning with a coffee in my hand, I can't believe it. I'm so excited to get the chance to work hands on with Oslo, and can't wait to leave my mark on the 'E.' 
 
Thank you all for this opportunity. And to @dlamb for taking a chance on me to be his aGM in Warsaw. I'll always be a Pred at heart. 
 
Once again, thank you all. 
 
It's time to get down to business. 
 

I'll say this for anyone interested in being a GM/aGM that working with @dlamb was probably the best choice I ever made since returning to the VHL. 
 
I've learned a great deal from him, and I can safely say that working with him is probably one of the best ways to prepare for that next step in the league! I'd highly recommend users apply for this!

bump, my AGM is leaving me

Red Wolves, I'm utterly devastated with an overtime loss in game 7. It stinks. But sometimes that's the way things go. We clawed back from elimination to force an even series and gave it our all. And while our season doesn't end like we would want it, we did end the season as the best team in the VHLE. And I'm thrilled that we were able to come back from last season where we finished in last place. I'm proud of what this team accomplished this season. Each of you meant something to the team, and it was awesome to see you all band together and hype up the team when the going got tough.

If you're returning next season, we've got some more big things planned. To those moving up to the VHL or retiring, it was both an honor and a privilege to have GMed you this season. I got to meet a lot of great members in the community and I can't wait to see how your players do in the future. Spaz and I will both be watching.

Red Wolves, while our season now may be over, you solidified yourselves as the best Red Wolves team in our history. I have a feeling that some of our stats will stand for a long time. You all deserve recognition for your achievements. I will remember this team for a long time. The S81 Istanbul Red Wolves. The best team in the E. Once again, thank you all for supporting the team and being involved. Congrats on a great season, good luck in your future endeavors, and know this...

Members of the Red Wolves pack are never forgotten. The pack plays together, the pack fights together, and the pack stands together.

Swiss Central Gazzette (Marcel's stats/Daniel's stats)
 
Things came to a dramatic end for Marcel's Hounds as they lost their game against the Marlins, while Daniel's Red Wolves forced Rome to a game 7 showdown. Kindly find our summaries of the matches as per below.
 
Mississauga lost their game 6-5 after having looked like the certain winner after a 4-1 first period. Ivanovitch in power play, Lamb, Hextall and Janser were established a seemingly comfortable lead before the first intermission. Marcel's goal was a beautiful slapshot from the high slot after a D-to-D play with Teekirque, who received the puck from Lamb. The second period was lost 1-0, which was not ideal, yet the chances of taking this win home were still intact. And then the fateful third period happened, which ruined it all. San Diego was on the board early, but Janser with an attempt from the blue line in a one man advantage, steered the Hounds back on course. What followed then can only be described as the Ontarians going into headless chicken mode, as in the last fifteen minutes, they squandered a very winnable two goal lead away. Mathias with a power play goal sealed the deal for the Marlins and sent the Hounds into early summer camp. The three stars were Mathias (3g/0a), Janser (2g/0a) and Xavier (1g/2a). Arpa (.829) as well as Utonium (.833) resembled more sieves than netminders and neither impressed any of the numerous scouts in the ranks. The Hounds' power play was above average (2/7) the box play (4/6) not so much, yet not catastrophic. The game was lost when the Hounds did not follow up in the second with an other goal or two to break the Marlins' morale for good, but instead through passive play and in an attempt to hold on to the deceiving three goal lead, gave the Californian a second wind, which they used to their advantage.
Marcel was reported with 2g, 0a, +0 and 4sb
 
Daniel's Red Wolves won in a hard fought contest 6-5. The Gladiators won the first period 2-1. Hogan kept his colours in the race with his even strength goal half-way through the period. The second period was a feast for the crowd (though not for the coaches), which witnessed a six goal period with the score being 4-2 for Istanbul. Li, Bonaparte in power play, Wilson and Hogan on a one man advantage scored for the Wolves. Daniel set a mark after Rome's second goal in said period. Kman lost the draw against Rike and Janser played the man instead of the puck, which the refs did not appreciate and sent him to the sin bin with a minor for Roughing.The last period ended in a 1-1 tie. Power with his first goal in these playoffs secured the win for the Redshirts, when Marner served a minor for High Sticking. Li (1g/2a), Hogan (2g/1a) and Power (1g/1a) were named three stars of the night. Also in this game, the goaltending was anything but all-star worthy with Menace (.865) having a slight edge over Spinelli (.842). Istanbul's special teams were very efficient on power play (3/6) and a tad too lackadaisical in the penalty kill (5/7).
Daniel had 0g, 0a, -1, 2 PIM (Roughing, no effect on the score) and 2 hits to his name.
 
The Jansers playoff stats are as follows (Marcel's are final, therefore we compare it with last season's (in black)):
Marcel: 6gp (5gp), 5g (0g), 3a (1a), 8pts (1pt), +1 (-2), 2 PIM (2 PIM), 3 hits (3 hits), 16sb (7sb), 0gwg (0gwg), 2ppg (0ppg), 0shg (0shg)
Daniel: 6gp, 0g, 0a, 0pts, -2, 14 PIM, 7 hits, 2sb, 0gwg, 0ppg, 0shg
 
Since Marcel's season is now over, let's have a look at some of his figures for his playoff run:
 
Production: What giant's step the young Swiss has made in regards of playoff production! At the time this article is written, Marcel ranks fifth in playoff goals, sixth in points for defensemen and eighth in the league for power play goals . Despite having focused on his defensive play as well as discipline, Marcel took a quantum leap in the offensive category. Eight points in six games would not be shabby for a forward let alone a defensive-first defenseman. 
 
Bodywork: Marcel had no need to unleash big hits as he anticipated plays before they happened and was rarely out of position. This combined with his cool, prevented him mostly from visits in the sin bin. One minor in six games for a player in his position and his amount of minutes played in the playoffs is nothing short of remarkable. He blocked more than double the shots than in last years playoffs as well and is second only to Kovalchuk in that category.
 
All in all, we think the bitter end in the series cannot be pinned on Janser. Some voices (chief amongst them himself) are disappointed about his performance, which we think does not do him justice. Vasteras will be looking forward to welcome him in their locker room, as they had only four able defencemen this last season and only star defender Jockesson can match the Rotkreuz native's defensive play.
 
We will revert with updates as soon as same are available.

Challenge. Accepted. 

Challenge. Accepted. 

@JB123 Honored I was able to be a part of your last squad in San Diego. 
 
Some tough shoes to fill. That's for sure! 

Challenge. Accepted. 

@JB123 has told @diamond_ace and I some time ago that he intended to step down from his role as San Diego's GM at the end of this season. We'd like to formally thank him for all the hard work he did for the team and the league in his time here. Good luck in your future projects, JB! While his season isn't done yet, with the Marlins moving on to the semi-finals, we decided to open the applications now, to give us a bit more time to find an adequate replacement for him. That, and the VHL Commissioners have yet to announce who's taking over Davos, so who knows, we might have another opening soon.
 
Please apply directly in this thread if you are interested in the position.

I'll apply. I could use a warmup before the real deal lol.
