Mexico City Kings Press Conference We're in a playoff spot edition! 1. Things are starting to shape up, and we're comfortably in a playoff spot. Did you see this coming at the start of the season? 2. How much do you think the stellar play of our goalie, Markus Emerson Jr, has factored in to where we are in the standings? 3. Now that a good chunk of the season is done, have you changed your goals for the season? 4. What do we need to be a real cup contender this season? 5. How do you feel about your performance thus far? 6. Where is your ideal vacation spot? (assuming no covid related stuff is going on)

ESPN.SE - We are 24 games into the VHL season, and patterns are starting to emerge around the league. One in particular we are going to focus on, is the stellar play of the Malmo Nighthawks. It's come as somewhat of a surprise, but as of right now the Nighthawks are sitting just behind Riga in the European Conference in 2nd place, just four points back of top spot. Of course, much of the success that Malmo has enjoyed has come off the back of the MVP caliber performances of Condor Adrienne, who leads the team with 45 points. But that's not to say he's doing it all alone, last year's Rookie of the Year Chris Hylands is having a tremendous start to the campaign and has chipped in with 35 points, with 16 of them being goals. We asked him a couple questions about his play, and the team's chances going forward."I'm thrilled with my play so far. I'm getting points and helping the team as much as I can every shift. And of course I've got more points than that Pines character over in LA, which just adds a little sweetness on top." It's tough to say whether Malmo will be able to keep up this level of play as the season goes on, but the Nighthawks are confident in their abilities to perform at their best when it counts. "I think we've got a great shot at possibly taking the Conference this year. We have some extremely young and hungry players who are just doing their all to make sure this team succeeds, it's really great to see." Those are strong words from sophomore Chris Hylands, but his confidence isn't out of place. The Nighthawks have put themselves in a great position with this early season form and will be looking to turn that into playoff success come the end of the season.

Glad to have you join the team! I'll be sending over a contract for you to accept, as well as invite you to the team Locker Room!

Welcome to the league, @kevinscix! I’m Hylands, GM of the Mexico City Kings and we can offer you minutes on our Top Pairing. We literally only have 1 defenceman so you’ll be getting maximum minutes. While we likely aren’t a playoff contender this year, we’ve had a good start to the season and are looking to build the roster and could use a defenceman exactly like yourself! We have a great locker room, filled with lots of familiar faces from the SBA and we can definitely help you learn the league.

Made one that we can use more than once or twice a season ?

Hey @Ash Glover, welcome to the league! I'm Hylands, GM of the Mexico City Kings and we would love to add you to our growing core of players. We currently only have 1 defenceman, so you will be getting the maximum amount of minutes, meaning top pairing as well as special teams. While we probably won't be competing for the Cup this season, with some great waiver signings like yourself, we can turn this team into a competitive one. Mexico City has a great locker room, with fun and easy going teammates that will make your experience just that much more enjoyable. Feel free to wait out your signing for a bit, as many other teams will be offering you spots. Whatever you end up choosing, I wish you luck in your VHL career!

Hey @linsangeles, welcome back with your new player! I'm the GM of the Mexico City Kings and I can offer you Top 6 minutes this season! We have just a few wingers as of yet so you will slot in perfectly on our 1st line. We aren't set to contend for a cup this season, but if you want a fun locker room experience and a place to maximize your ice time, then Mexico City is where you want to be!

Hey @Brrbisbrr, glad to see you back with another player! We have a pretty bare bones squad here in Mexico City this season, and we can offer you Top 6 minutes as of right now! We are unlikely to be competing for a cup this season, but if you want to pad your stats on a mediocre team with an excellent locker room, then this is the place to come. Just quote this message and say "acepto ?" to become royalty!

I'll apply! I'm online pretty frequently throughout the week and can definitely do the required job.
