  1. Teekirque to Sing Anthems Jan 11, 2022 After recent diplomatic discussions revealed that James Teekirque, currently on loan to the Mississauga Hounds from the UFHD, has had some success in a second career as a musician, the VHLM brass have invited him to feature as anthem singer for a game in the finals. Teekirque, who is originally from earth, but not this earth, (Or maybe the future? It's not especially clear) says he is familiar with both the Canadian and American national anthems and is prepared to perform either. "Although earth, well, my earth, has long since moved past the petty tribalistic squabbling of nation-states, it is an honor to be included in this tradition," Teekirque's press release stated. Teekirque Panned as Anthem "Singer" Jan 12, 2022 The performance of human-alien visitor James Teekirque as last night's national anthem singer has become the object of great derision. Teekirque took a very unconventional approach to the anthems, choosing to perform both American and Canadian national anthems as spoken word, rather than singing in the normal sense of the word. "Frankly, it's insulting that he thought this would be acceptable," commented one GM. "Damnit Jim, you're a defenseman, not an anthem singer!" Tweeted UFHD Head Trainer "Sticks" McCoy. UFHD Alternate, Mr Puck, noted, "A logical course of action would have been to listen to his album, first."
  2. 1. I give us 30%. Hard to come back when there's no room for error, but we had their number this season. 2. It's not very fair, but in an elimination situation, I would scale down the ice time for waivers. 3. Put the puck on net. 4. This has been my best current LR. You guys are doing a great job. 5. Oh, I think you know. 6. Don't fix what ain't broken.
  3. 1. Same thing I do every season, Pinky: try to take over the world. 2. Silently go back to the locker room and give my coach a firm handshake. 3. I'll probably go in the late second round. 4. James Teekirque is never naughty! 5. First they came for the multis and I said, "Good, screw multis." 6. Very pleased, so far.
  4. 1. I told my son that the simmers were robots, so thanks for ruining the magic for that little boy. 2. My whole family was looking forward to seeing the Christmas simming results over dinner. I hope you're happy.
  5. THE FINAL POST
  6. 1. I tend to oppose trading high draft picks. 2. I hardly think of my next week, let alone player. 3. I'm just taking the season as it comes. 4. Right now? Puck handling. Now gimme gimme gimme! 5. Second in the conference. 6. The Bucs.
  7. 11 kind of looks like two adjacent posts.
  8. One post, please
  9. It's your birthday. Happy birthday.

  11. FILE PHOTO James Teekirque was admitted to Starfleet Academy in 2252. Shortly after his admission, coach Pike invited him to join the Academy hockey team, the Ensigns. The Ensigns were coming off of three consecutive first-round playoff defeats at the hands of the Romulan team, the Disruptors. Though Teekirque had next to no experience playing hockey at a competitive level, Pike predicted that his athleticism, leadership and competitive nature would be valuable assets nonetheless, and Teekirque would quickly pick up the game. Using an obscure injury exemption rule, dating before the introduction of medical devices, such as dermal regenerators and osteopathic stimulators, Teekirque was declared a "Red Shirt" for his first year, and unable participate in games, but able to practice and learn hockey at a competitive level, while preserving his eligibility. The Ensigns would fall to the Klingon team, the Bat'leths, in the opening round of the playoffs. The off-season was intense. Teekirque made extensive use of holographic simulations to practice in-game scenarios. Legendarily, he defeated the Kobayashi Maru scenario, wherein two defensemen are given five minute majors and ejected, leaving the team to kill a five minute five on three power play. There was some controversy around this, as Teekirque clandestinely modified the simulation to ensure his victory. Teekirque burst into the scene like a crustacean in heat, his redshirt freshman year. Controversially, Pike named the rookie an Alternate Captain. Teekirque responded by leading all Ensign defensemen in points and winning rookie of the year. The Ensigns shocked the first-place Cardassian Guls, taking them down in five games before losing a hard-fought seven game series to none other than the Romulans, in the semi-finals. The 2254 season Teekirque led the Ensigns in scoring as they finished first in the league for the first time in two decades. Teekirque took home the Cochrane Memorial Trophy for best defensemen. Then, it was on to business. The first round of the playoffs saw Teekirque on the ice for zero goals against as the Ensigns finally got the monkey off their back and defeated the Romulans in six games. The semi finals saw them defeat the Cardassians in a controversial finish, where a fifth Cardassians goal would have tied the game. Ensigns fans declared at the sound of the final buzzer "there are four goals!" In the finals, the Ensigns faced the Klingons. It was a series that would make Kahless smile, for six games. Before the seventh, a rogue fan, sworn to hatred of the Ensigns, exposed Teekirque's defensive partner and best friend, Spuck, to radioactive skates, rendering him unable to play. Teekirque was a man possessed on the ice, racking up two goals, an assist and eight shots as the Ensigns steamrolled the Bat'leths 6-2. Following this performance, and much to Coach Pike's chagrin, Teekirque was recruited into the UFHD, which would eventually lead him to first contact with the VHL.

  13. 1. Bruce Springsteen 2. My favorite dogs are other people's dogs. 3. The Miami Mariachis: 4. To get points and goals for my player. 5. We're having a great season. If like to see us play better in games against contenders. 6. Probably the Moonwalk.
  14. One art please
  15. 1. I think it's good for us. It helps keep the new players active and puts us ahead, making other teams that might play Miami later less likely to try improve at the deadline. 2. No, I think it's not great, especially for Miami's players to get beaten up so many games in a row. It's tough, though, STHS just makes a schedule like that sometimes. 3. Religious holidays have long since been forgotten in The Federation. 4. I didn't realize we had one. 5. Keep winning, keep the LR active and positive. 6. Very.
  16. 1. It's like they say: if the car's got gas, the horse can't pass. 2. I will be stealing it from small children. 3. My player doesn't believe in no-win scenarios. 4. Very. 5. USA 6. Evgeni Malkin
