I mean if you guys have a reason we should allow this I would love to hear it but as it stands you aren’t really supposed to trade back a player within 2 seasons. Especially where this also involves a GM player which also needs special approval.

We’ve known for a little bit that Toronto was going to need a new GM going into S97 after @Moon decided that his tenure of the franchise was at an end; what we didn’t know or expect was quite how much support was going to be behind one specific member. Now obviously we could ignore that support but boy the riots don’t seem worth it and I feel pretty darn confident the team shall be in good hands with its new GM at the helm so let’s officially welcome that new GM: @dstevensonjr Malmo is a bit of a different story, not because we think their pick for GM is a bad one or anything, just because it came as a bit more of a surprise when @KaleebtheMighty decided to step away. The timeline may have been a bit tighter but the candidate, we feel, is no less of a perfect choice. So, with that said, I’m sorry you never brought a cup to Halifax @LucyXpher but we’re dragging you up to the big league! No spoiler tags as we would normally have in here because they don’t work right on mobile but still, congrats to our to new GM’s and sorry to the @VHLM Commissioner team that now needs another GM this off season.

We did the SickKids foundation 2 years ago.

We did them last year. Great cause but probably good to spread it around a bit.

Hello @Members! Why does December keep sneaking up on me! I was supposed to be on top of this more this year! Anyway, the holiday season is nearly upon us which for the VHL means our annual charity drive! For those who haven’t been around, a quick recap: Every December in addition to Christmas festivities we hold a charity donation drive to help out communities beyond our own. This will be our sixth year doing the charity drive (which can I just say, holy shit, we've one this 6 years now?!?) with previous drives donating thousands to the Make a Wish Foundation, Food Banks of Canada / Feed America, the Red Cross, SickKids Foundation / St. Jude's, and Doctor's Without Borders. Now we could probably pick a charity ourselves but sometimes we don't make the best decisions, just look at the theme weeks, so we're asking for help! As always you’ll be able to donate to any charity you wish and have it count but the league matching donation and any donated through us will go to the charity that’s chosen. In an ideal world that charity fits a couple of criteria so if you can try to keep them in mind for your suggestions that would be great: Should be something that accepts PayPal donations since all league funds run through that. Should be something with a wide reach and ideally international or at least having Canadian / American equivalents we can split donations between. Nothing political or divisive. So let’s see what you can come up with! Feel free to also discuss your favourites in here if someone suggests something you feel strong about but try to keep it as on topic as possible. Here’s to the start of another VHL holiday season!

Pretty much. If anyone has any qualms with or preferences for either position let us know but we’ll basically pick from the same pool I imagine. Given the close timing of it all @KaleebtheMighty has said he’ll be willing to help with the transition.

I took it from @Spartan ’s lottery post without realizing that it was last season’s haha. It’s just whatever 5% less is for you and 1% extra is for everyone else.

Victory Cup curse

I do so hate doing these.... but alas rules are rules and London it appears missed one of their backup starts this season. If they were a playoff team we would have dealt with this already but since there are not we need to handle it in other ways. Therefore the @Commissioner team has decided to dock London's Lottery odds by 5%, evenly distributing 1% extra to each of the other 5 teams. This means the lottery odds for this season are: 1. Prague Phantoms - 26.0% 2. D.C. Dragons - 21.0% 3. London United - 12.5% 4. Los Angeles Stars - 16.0% 5. Helsinki Titans - 13.5% 6. New York Americans - 11.0% That is... horrible looking, but effective at least. As you can see they are still listed 3rd, this is because the usual rules still apply about not dropping more than 1 position so the latest London can get is still 4th, simply their odds at 1st overall have been reduced. Let's try and do better next season @Baby Boomer okay? Also throwing a tag at @Spartan since it'll affect the lotto

As you have surely seen by now @Moon has decided to step down as GM of the Toronto Legion. The league of course thanks Moon for his time at the helm of one of our oldest franchises but that of course leaves us with a vacancy. If you are interested in the opening, please post in this thread. Please do not contact the Commissioners outside of this thread, we will reach out to the chosen candidate privately. ***Please refrain from making comments regarding any candidates and their "worthiness" of being hired for this job, positive or negative. Any comment that is not an application will be removed to maintain a clean list of actual candidates, and (I hate that this actually needs to be said, but...) any member bashing will not be tolerated.***

The end of Calaway Congrats Davos, go crush Moscow okay?
