Updates? Also I imagine sims take awhile. I meant specifically. Talk to me like I’m a child in this case because I’m not in the league so I have no clue what their “junior system” is.

I’m curious about what these may be in your opinion.

I give it a month. Not to sound harsh but simming on games like that makes for things being massively manual and a huge pain in the ass. It’s the main reason so many old leagues died. @JeffD certainly remembers the old ESHL days of trying to deal with EA sims.

Welcome to the VHL, Leksans! We're happy to have you. You should have received a PM with some more detailed information, but to get started quickly you will want to head over to the "How to Create a Player" topic. That topic will offer you detailed information about how to use the VHL Portal to create your player and get you started. We also highly recommend joining the VHL Discord where there is a channel dedicated to helping new members with any questions that they may have about the league or improving their player. Once your player is made VHLM General Managers will be in touch with you about joining their teams. In the meantime, please feel free to ask any questions you have here or in your create-a-player thread. We're happy to have you in the community and we hope you stick around!

I don’t know if I’d say they are a big success because of that. A few people may prefer it but there’s no way the people that do are a majority or avoiding other leagues because of it. Honestly the SHL has had some lucrative recruiting deals and cater to a younger audience, it has worked well for them. Combine that with the fact that the original SHL was the OG Sim Hockey League and thus they locked down a name that implies they are the only option and you have what you see. From personal experience I’ll take our quality of members over their quantity but that’s subjective and as @TheFlash said it’s not EVERYONE that’s toxic as hell; that’s just been my limited experience with them.

FWIW I don’t like the SHL but I don’t much care for the fact that 75% of our activity has shifted to discord either.

I spent ages cleaning the SHL forum up when i helped them move from IF to Jcink, probably a solid week of making sure everything was set up perfectly. Within a week they had completely destroyed it and turned the forums and sub forums into an impossible to navigate clusterfuck. That’s why I dislike them haha

1. That sounds exactly like the SHL, I guess they’ve still never grown up over there. 2. Is there a lot of CHL crossover? I don’t even recognize the name?

Again though, it’s just confusing. Makes it seem like they are playing again? Idk, to each their own. I’d just rather see new names for this than past HoFers.

Personally I think having their names on such trash players kinda tarnishes it a bit but I also made mine as HoFers who sold out their last names to corporations so what do a I know haha

Using actual past names might be a tad confusing...

I mean you do but the birthday has always been a big giveaway, we aren’t planning on changing that.

A season takes roughly 2 months which makes a career a year and a half on average. A big celebration like this 1-2 times per career is acceptable.

Decided to pick my names in fitting fashion to the anniversary by basing them off former HoFers of the league who decided to take too much advertising money. Therefore I present to you: Skaters: Sterling Coors Matt Bentley Goalie: Maxim Disney Also while not required I’d like to give my yearly obligatory speech. The VHL has grown a lot since I joined exactly 12 years ago. There have been many times over the years when I expected it would close its doors; both times the forum had to be moved and prior to this huge boom in members being the most prominent ones. Every year that passes I’m more and more amazed by the ability of our members to make the league thrive, both in enjoyment and in sheer volume. This league has always been about the community for me and I’m thankful to see the community thriving once again. Here’s to one of our best years ever and I look forward to many more to come. Now enjoy your free gifts in exchange for a tiny amount of posting you greedy vultures P. S my usual addition as well, those who’s pay covers a PT can claim the doubles week as part of their regular pay, just add 6 TPE via other.

This is the Pepper we know and love.

From the original S31 expansion until 2 seasons ago there was a team in Quebec. The Vancouver Wolves were originally the Quebec City Meute but we relocated the team.

You’re being generous.

What do the top 4 all have in common: a lack of my goalies (aside from Davos drafting Holik which isn’t mentioned). Yeah, that checks out.

Oh fuck right off.

My first player carried my real name.

I’m pretty sure I set it as MIS to start? MCK is on me. In any case, I assume this just means if we want MEX and MIS I just need to adjust them on the portal and in the sim @Will?

Just set the guys you want in your lines (or put CPU’s there and let me know which is which) and scratch the releases.

Games are simmed and uploaded but the poster isn't working for me right now. If someone wants to go through and manually post the games you can. Otherwise we can wait for @Will to fix things. You can check the scores still though, the games are there.
