Retired Numbers came up in gen chat, started looking and saw this subforum and nothing has been updated in years. Unless I'm missing something and there's an updated one somewhere, it would be nice to see at a glance every team's retired numbers https://vhlforum.com/forum/123-retired-numbers/

Welcome to the VHL, @lioneatingsnail! My name is dlamb, GM of the Ottawa Lynx, and we would like to offer you a contract. We can offer you 4th-line Minutes, but of course that can change as you grow your player. We pride ourselves on maintaining a friendly and active locker room! Me and my AGM JB123 are both very active and willing to help with any questions you may have, you just have to ask! Ottawa has a long history of developing top-tier talent, and you can be the next! Just quote this post and say #FEEDtheLYNX to join the Lynx! Have fun and best of luck, dlamb

2-0, WE DEMAND AN UPDATED FORUM EMOJI

Berlin - Paris is the correct vote. / HYPE

Haha, yeah I guess that makes sense too I was just thinking of an alternate colour and while looking at Stockholm's wikipedia page I saw the flag/crest. The whole point of the colour change in my mind was just to differentiate it from the Q logo.

I've been kind of obsessed with potential franchises for the new VHLE, and one frontrunner for a team is Stockholm, with their S41-S57 Vikings being rumored as a lock to make their return. Everyone is raving about their logo, however I think there is a few problems with the main one, as seen below: 1. It's a modernized Baie-Comeau Drakkar (QMJHL) logo Obviously, it is just a logo with the same theme, I get that. But even down to the colour scheme, I can't get it out of my head that it is the same thing, but modern. I suggest changing the main colour to BLUE, instead of red, as an homage to the flag of Stockholm (seen below), which gives it local flair, and sets it completely apart from any other hockey logo I can think of. 2. Text If you look at every NHL logo, hell, every major sports logo, the majority, if not all logos, do not use text that isn't incorporated into the logo itself. The VHL has seemed to be removing these kinds of logos slowly but surely, which is awesome, so why not continue the trend with Stockholm? I think text is done here better than some logos we have, I just like the ones that speak for themselves without text. TLDR: Blue-ify Stockholm pls (now that I'm looking its kinda shit without text, definitely needs text or something to fill the space at the bottom) Please voice your opinions, I want to see what people think. Also, the alt logo is pretty sick, but it's meh as a main crest.

Yeah, I like the sound of that. Anti french-sentiment around here or what?!!?

Double whammy, oh well. The whole point was saying pls dont add 2 Swedish, 2 Russian, and 1 Finnish team pls

The recent announcement of the VHL: Europe has got me excited for the concept of new (and old) cities getting official teams in the VHL universe. I am a sucker for history, but also I would like to see the best representation of Europe as a whole in the Victory Hockey League Cinematic Universe. Here is a chart of countries by registered hockey players: Now, obviously, the VHL doesn't really need hockey players, nor population, leading to some "fun" cities getting teams (Davos), but I think it's still noteworthy. Looking at the chart, as it applies to the VHLE, France, Germany, Slovakia, Norway, and Hungary are the top 5 countries by registered skaters in Europe that do not have representation on this site. While I do think a one or two Swedish teams are going to make it into the new league, I would like to see at least half, or 3 teams, in countries that do not have a team currently. In my opinion, those should be: Germany (Cologne, Berlin, or Hamburg) France (Nice, Marseilles, or Rouen) and for a fun one, I'd like to see Hungary (Budapest being the only plausible option imo) The other 3, I'd like to see as revived franchises from VHL past. Vasteras, Stockholm, and Bratislava. Obviously I didn't put a ton of thought into it, but nonetheless I am super excited to see what teams and cities make the cut. If my wishes were granted, we would add 4 new countries into the league, which I think should be the bare minimum for the VHLE, seeing that it is representing Europe solely. (270-ish words)

1. We've recovered from losing our first two games to sit at 9-2-0, topping the league and once again holding the league's best goal differential. Was there any doubt in your mind we'd recover after the rough first sim? Absolutely no doubt. I'm not sure why, but there seems to be outside doubters on us, but in our room, no, not at all. 2. Chris Reynolds has been on a tear in recent games, leading the team in goals and the league in GWGs while Aloe Dear and Dakota Lamb sit top 3 in the league in assists, and top 10 in the league in points. Whose performance have you been most impressed with on the team thus far? Reynolds 100%. He's always been a great player, but I'm glad he's come out of the gate on absolute fire this season. He absolutely deserves it. Lamb and Dear doing their usual things 3. Which line would you say has been the driving force for the team thus far? I don't think I can give a definitive answer, we have such a well-rounded team, everyone contributes. 4. What are your thoughts on the recently-announced VHLE? I like the idea, but will have to see it in action before I can make a decision on how I really feel. I'm always excited for new teams, though. 5. What is your favorite animal? It's in the name 6. Which real-life sport do you think has the most interesting offseason? The most interesting? Probably the NFL. So much movement, from players to coaches to drafts, and all of those things have a huge impact on the upcoming season.

@Domg5 we donezo

Such a shame we couldn't finish off that S73 Miami season with a championship. Still, a very respectable career for a player from Japan! #OhSens4Eva

Stick to your weight class next time @oilmandan

Time for the a Memorial Cup-esque tournament - winners of the VHLM, VHLE, and VHL plus a host team battle for the ultimate championship.

SEASON 78 OTTAWA LYNX CAPTAINCY ANNOUNCEMENT With my first official announcement as GM, I am proud to announce the 3 players that will be representing the Ottawa Lynx's leadership group for Season 78. Leading a new era of Lynx hockey, these 3 players have been very active and embodies what it means to be a member of the Ottawa Lynx. C - Bogdan Trunov @qripll Oh Captain, My Captain. Trunov has been one of the most vocal in the locker room, never shying away from how he feels. I am confident and excited about his ability to lead this team on and off the ice, and it only makes sense as the current longest tenured Lynx to be awarded the C. A - AJ Williams @ajwllmsn Although very new to the team as a waiver-signing, Williams' impact has been felt strongly and immediately. Whether it be pumping up the team or creating awesome Lynx graphics, Williams has a bright future with both the Lynx and in the league as a whole, and he is very deserving of the A this season. A - Jacob Rask @BostonBruinsFan1806 The last line of defense, our starting netminder, Jacob Rask, is a true class act. Very humble, but is not shy when it comes to stopping the puck. Despite having deep roots in Yukon, he has made the quick transition to become our go-to guy, thus being awarded with an A stitched on his jersey. For the purposes of the sim, as you can not have a goalie as captain, Shane Lazeski @Shane Laz will be given the 2nd A. Congratulations everyone! #FEEDtheLYNX

F - Dakota Lamb @RedSus

My boyyyyy @osens I expect @ajwllmsn to rocket up the ranks sooner rather than later. You have been warned #OTT2GUD
