in honour of the man stepping down as agm, @osens ❤️ 

1. What do you want for Christmas this year? “Nothing” is not an acceptable answer.
I want something that I wouldn't know I would need and it would surprise me well.
2. Do you think your player has a shot at the Hall of Fame or no?
I don't think so.  
3. Who is your favorite GM that isn’t Nyko?
I have to go with my D.C bud Eno.
4. Do you think we’ll overtake Moscow for 1st or will we have to win it all as the 2 seed?
I don't care, we winning it all anyways.
5. Why do you like or not like Christamastime?
I don't like it more, because I want summer and I love summer.
6. Do you think 2022 will be any better than 2021 or will it be as bad or worse?
I think it will be better.

1. We actually win games, way more than I would have imagined. So that’s a big positive I would say. 
 
2. I would say overall the biggest surprise is how little the first 20ish games seem to mean in a VHL season the last few years. Lots of teams that begin the season on a hot streak seem to end up 4th,5th and even 6th at the end of the year.
 
3. London’s pretty bumping on a weekend game night.
 
4. Rock
 
5. Spotify, I mean I can listen to 30 seconds ads every now and then but 9.99 for three month deals bring me back.
 
6. Annoying summer things die (mosquitoes, etc) 

Omi Aberg's first season in the big league has started quickly and he has already played his first 36 games with Vancouver Wolves and they have been up and down. For the team, though this start to the season has been brilliant - first place in the North American conference and it seems like they haven't missed a stride. Wolves are trying to go back to back with championships and Aberg with his play in helping the team succeed. 

Omi Aberg this year was a really interesting prospect, he was the first-round pick, but he comes from a record-breaking season, where he was the first MVP of the newly created VHLE league. He was expected to be one of the points leaders of rookies, but knowing that he will be a big part of the contender, it is not surprising, that he is not getting those points that much. He is in 6th place in rookie points and the rookie with the most points is his Stockholm Vikings teammate Zach Kisslinger II, with who he has had quite a lot of history together. They were both tearing up VHLE together and were the cornerstones of regular season champions - Stockholm Vikings. 
 
In Vancouver, his role has dramatically changed compared to his days in Stockholm, where he was the leading offensive force, but here there are the Reinhart brothers, who are responsible for getting the puck in the net. Aberg is a typical two-way forward in Vancouver, where he tries to be in as many places as possible at the same time. He is a pretty important piece to the Wolves game because he is trying to keep the opponents from scoring and then running back to offense and trying to score on the other side of the rink. And he is being a pretty good player in his role right now. He has +12 plus-minus and 38 points in 36 games. Although he may not have as many points as other rookies, he is making his play stand on both sides of the ice. He has also earned coaches' trust with his hard work on ice to play him on the power play and there he has scored 2 goals too. As Aberg revealed, the coach also encouraged him to shoot more and it has shown in his game, where he is scoring a lot of goals. 
 
Omi Aberg has started his season well, but expectations were much bigger, but that doesn't change that Aberg had to transform his way of play, and also there are much bigger offensive forces in the team compared to other rookie teams and that could be the reason why the point total is quite a bit lower compared to the best rookies. But in the end leading in points won't mean too much if he is able to win the championship together with his new team and right now Vancouver Wolves are in a great spot to finish the season as the best team in the VHL!

1. Which Wolves player do you think is performing the best this season?
Aloe Dear, no surprises there.
2. What's your biggest fear?
Not being able to wake up someday.
3. What is the worst restaurant food you ever had and why?
I don't go to much restaurants, so nothing really comes in mind.
4. Who's your favorite actor?
If I have to say one, I would say Robert Downey Jr.
5. Do you like spicy food or not so spicy food?
I hate spicy food, so not so spicy food!
6. If you had to go to jail for committing a crime, what would it be?
For fraud, so I could feel like how it is to be rich for some time.

1. What is your biggest regret in life?
When I was younger, I didn't play any sports. I feel like I missed out of a lot of fun.
2. Do you think Vanny can repeat as champs?
Hell yes, I am here now!
3. Do you think that Tyler Reinhart shoulda won MVP?
I don't know, haven't really looked into it.
4. Have you ever played any sports and if so which are you best at.
Well, looks like I see the future. Like I said, sadly nope.
5. Do you think we're better off with the VHLE or should we have just stuck with VHLM -> VHL?
I enjoyed VHLE so I would say yes for VHLE!
6. What's your favorite type of pet?
I am boring but I love cats and dogs. Personally, I have cat right now, but I love dogs equally as much as cats.

Today marked the first day for the training camp of VHL champions - Vancouver Wolves. The team has had few changes but one of the biggest - their first-round pick Omi Aberg has joined the team.

Omi Aberg comes off a record-breaking season together with Stockholm Vikings, where Omi had the most points in the league in the regular season and helped push the team to first place in the regular season. He is also a former VHLM champion and will be trying to get a big role in the Vancouver Wolves team. Aberg was one of the hardest workers on ice and stayed on the ice after the team training to work on his game a bit more, as reporters have said. Omi knows that it will be harder to show the same numbers as in VHL because the competition is much harder, but his goal this season is really simple - work hard and be useful for the team.

1. With our season ending, what was your favourite memory this past season? 
Starting the season slow and then we proved everyone wrong and ended the season as the best team in the regular season.
2. What is your final opinion on the E after playing here for a season?
It's pretty cool, another stop in the road to VHL and I enjoyed it a lot.
3. What is one thing you learned about your player this season?
That even if I don't train the hardest, I can be the best (at least in points).
4. If you could change one thing about your players performance in the playoffs, what would it be and why? 
I wanted to bring the scoring that I did in the regular season, if it would have happened, I think the result would have been different.
5. if you do decide to make another player after your current player retires, will you try to skip the E, or will you play here again willingly? 
100% gonna play VHLE. I don't understand why would anyone want to skip VHLE.
6. How are you doing?
I am fine, thanks for asking. How about you?

Awesome read, it was easy to understand what you wanted to say  and the paragraphs were really understandable and title lets me quickly understand what it will be about. I guess it bugs me a little that 1 title is red and other 2 are in green, but these type of things just annoys me. I like to see others breakdown trades and it's interesting to read what other people, especially players, thinks about this trade and what it can do for the team. I liked how you added something from yourself in every paragraph.
 
9.5/10

1.      We are currently tied 3-3 and force a game seven, what do you think we need to do to take the win tonight?
We should have went out with more force and energy, but sadly we weren't in the right mindset.
2.      If we go all the way and win the cup, what would it mean to you to become the first team to win in the vhle?
If we would have done it, I would have won VHLM and VHLE championships already. Sadly it's impossible now, because I am leaving VHLE next season.
3.      With it being the playoffs, does your player focus a bit more on hockey?
Yeah, Aberg spends 24/7 of his life in playoffs with hockey, he watches videos with hockey tactics and he just tries to train as much as he can.
4.      If we get eliminated what does your offseason look like?
My offseason involves having talks with Vancouver, because it's time for me to come up to the big league.
5.      Where would you go to eat to celebrate a big win?
Somewhere where there are tasty sushi.
6.      What is your favourite colour?
Probably some of the autumn colours.

1. We have won the series against Chicago! What can you tell us about our next opponent - Vancouver Wolves?
They're gonna beat us.
Sucks to be from the future where things didn't go so well.
 
2.  Lester Green has stepped up in playoffs, having most points in the team. Who needs to step up in the next series to win over Wolves?
Again, we're doomed unfortunately as I come from the future.
 
3. 5 of the 7 games in the 1st round with Chicago ended with 1 goal difference. Do you think it's a good thing we are keeping it close or bad that we can't pull away or get it done?
The latter. Vancouver was clearly superior to Chicago throughout the season - slump or otherwise, bad-natured response or otherwise - and that was obvious during the playoffs, too.
 
4. What kind of special power would you like?
None. "Special power" means "probably going to get caught up in some weird government project," so let me stay as mundane as possible.
 
5. Which celebrity would you like to spend your vacation together with and why?
Emilia Clarke seems like the kind of person who would be great to hang out with, but wouldn't want to do anything crazy extravagant. Let's go with her.
 
6. Which Guinness record would you be able to break?
I like as little publicity as possible, so let's say "the fewest world records broken by a single individual," which is tied about 7 billion ways with 0.

Omi Aberg together with Stockholm Vikings is out of the playoffs.

Last season Omi Aberg in his 2nd VHLM season won the championship together with Miami Marauders after getting traded from Houston Bulls. It was his 2nd VHLM season and he was able to win it. Now he was drafted by Stockholm Vikings and was a part of the historic first season in VHLE. Expectations for the playoffs were big after Vikings being first in the league in the regular season and Omi Aberg having the most points in the league, but sadly Vikings came up short in the first round against Vasteras Iron Eagles in 7 games.
 
If Aberg would have won the VHLE championship, he would have had a chance to be the first player in the whole VHL to be a champion of VHLE, VHLM, and VHL, but now he won't be able to contend for the VHLE championship, because he has outgrown the league and next goal for Aberg is VHL!

Lol come on. How is a movie poster about hockey any different than a hockey poster. It's neither anyways, it's a graphic lol. 

1. I'll probably just use my free time to take a few extra shots of alcohol and drinking beer more than usual as I don't have to practice the next day for awhile : )
2. Without Mr. Dood, we'll be losing a huge catalyst in our forward group and team overall, as he in my eyes is Captain Dragon, so I think we'll be far worse than now.
3. Hardest challenge for us is consistently, as I think that has been the thing that bites us in the ass more than anything, as sometimes we are unbeatable and sometimes we are lacking goal support more than anything.
4. I'm really good at being awkward at the best of times possible, and usually the one that gets the most drunk at parties.
5. Best thing? I'd probably go to things like Christmas and opening up my stockings and getting my favourite candies and shampoo as weird as that sounds, as that was my favourite thing on Christmas.
6. I'd go for Kristof Nagy, as I'd probably not use my actual last name and play up the Hungarian stuff a bit more.

1. We have finished the season in 3rd NA Conference place. We won't have to play in 1st round. What will you be doing in the free time?
Sleeping. I need sleep. SO badly.
 
2. Dragons had 3rd most goals scored in the league, where do you think D.C will rank next season, when Dood will be retired?
I'm uh... a little concerned that the team will look very different next season. So let's say 9th?
 
3. What will be the hardest challenge to overcome in playoffs?
Getting through the first series. Take it one at a time - if we screw up the first series there's no second one.
 
4.  What is something you are really good at?
Staying up for really long times per day and working lots of hours, I guess.
 
5. What is the best thing you can remember from your childhood?
Weirdly, taking advanced classes in school. I focused a lot on being challenged academically.
 
6. If you had to choose different name for this league, what would it be?
Nerd Digital Hockey League (NDHL).

1. We have finished the season in 3rd NA Conference place. We won't have to play in 1st round. What will you be doing in the free time?
 
What free time? I'm busy doing prep work for game 3 of the Conference Playoffs. 
 
2. Dragons had 3rd most goals scored in the league, where do you think D.C will rank next season, when Dood will be retired?
 
They won't lose a beat. Dood was a great player but there will be one or two players that can step up and contribute more next season.
 
3. What will be the hardest challenge to overcome in playoffs?
 
Any game against Malmo. I hear those guys have ice running through their veins!
 
4.  What is something you are really good at?
 
Possibly answering other teams press conferences when the lazy Nighthawks front office hasn't done it yet.
 
5. What is the best thing you can remember from your childhood?
 
All of it prior to turning 21 and officially becoming an adult. Don't waste the prime years of your life kids!
 
6. If you had to choose different name for this league, what would it be?
 
FHSSL - Fake Hockey Superstar Simulation League

1. We have secured first place in the league and we are the first team ever to do so we in the E, was this your expectation?
We didn't start the season that well, so my expectations were not that high, but I am happy that we did it.
2. Did you meet any individual goals this season?
Well, I had the most points in the league so I guess I did.
3. What do you think contributed to our regular season success?
Our awesome teamplay, we really felt eachother on the ice.
4. Do you think you’re making the jump up to the VHL after this season? Are you excited to do so?
It will be fun, this road has been longer then other players but I am happy to finally make it.
5. Who is your favourite hockey player of all time?
I don't have really one favourite, but I really like Radulov, something about his playstyle and his missing teeth.
6. Did anything change with your players training now that we are near the first ever VHLE playoffs?
Just worked twice as hard as usual.

Omi Aberg has recently gotten an award for being a person of the year, sportsman of the year, and a few more awards in his home country. He has acquired these awards for like 5 years, mostly because there are not a lot of sportsmen in Islands, and the word "hockey" is not even understood, but Aberg with his great play in VHLM and VHLE has earned his title in his own country and when someone sees surname Aberg, they know that this man works hard and he doesn't give up. Next for Aberg is getting some awards in VHLE and hopefully winning the VHLE championship too. It will be a fun season end for Omi and after that off to VHL - Vancouver Wolves are waiting eagerly there. His road to the VHL has been longer than most of the other players, because of the newly created VHLE league, but because of this, he has been able to grow more and be a better hockey player.
 

Omi Aberg this season has had a record-breaking season, because as a part of the Stockholm Vikings team he got 121 points in 72 games and had the most points in the league, and will go down in history as the first league's points leader. Together with Zach Kisslinger II teared the league up, Kisslinger got 111 points and Aberg 121.  Aberg also picked up 48 goals, which put him as tied 1st place in goals in the league, and even on assists, Omi Aberg finished the regular season with 73 assists and 3rd most assists in the league. Aberg has been really consistent and led the team together with Kisslinger to the VHLE playoffs as the 1st seed. Aberg can be very proud of his game and his teammates because Stockholm will go down in the league's history.

But right now regular season is no longer in the heads of Stockholm Vikings players. They got bigger fish in mind - the VHLE playoffs and they are already underway. In the first round Stockholm Vikings are facing off against Vasteras Iron Eagles, another historic team in the whole VHL, but after dominant regular season it was expected that these series would be a walk in the park for Vikings, but after leading the series 2-0, Iron Eagles have found some kind of power and have climbed and fought back to tie the series up. Now the next game is going to be really important for both of the teams because the team that wins the next game is going to have a mental boost going into game 6 and it wouldn't be surprising to see if these teams go all the way to 7 games. One thing that has been pretty disappointing in the playoffs is how Aberg plays because his scoring is way down from his regular-season numbers. It's still good, but it's not comparable to the regular season where he had record-breaking numbers, mostly because it's the first season and all records are made from the start.  But there shouldn't be a reason to worry about it, these last 2 games were not the best for Stockholm Vikings leaders Aberg and Kisslinger but now they will be really motivated. Aberg already won the VHLM championship and if he will win the VHLE championship too, the only championship to win for the old youngster from Islands will be the big one VHL championship.
 
Omi Aberg has a chance to go down in history and his dream may end in the first round of the playoffs, but one thing is for sure - Aberg won't stop until he has won this championship and is going to be the hardest working player on the rink, just like he did when he played in Miami - he didn't give up and fought and fought until he won the championship and was able to get crowned as champion. One thing that motivates Omi Aberg is being the best, he wants to be better than his teammates, enemies, and other players. He will not stop until he is the best.
