  1. My sources are telling me that NYA are looking to get another S41 second round pick.
  2. As we approach the trade deadline, the next crop of VHLM leaders is taking form. A number of current league leaders are preparing for the big leagues and will ultimately pass the 175 TPE threshold for staying in the VHLM. With them gone, the void will be filled with active and ambitious young guns stepping up. I have identified current Season 41 prospects that are likely to get close to the 175 TPE threshold, but are unlikely to break it before Season 41 begins. I have used a top secret algorithm to project these players' TPEs at the beginning of Season 41. Ranked by position and TPE, I introduce you to the future VHLM ones to watch. Centers Rift Pajodcast: Current TPE 117 Projected TPE 173 AIM-11: Current TPE 101 Projected TPE 170 Gifford Shock: Current TPE 102 Projected TPE 156 Raphael Pettyfer: Current TPE 82 Projected TPE 136 Til Baumann: Current TPE 77 Projected TPE 126 Right Wingers Mario De Rossi: Current TPE 81 Projected TPE 158 Markus Muller: Current TPE 84 Projected TPE 146 Yannik Zug: Current TPE 74 Projected TPE 140 Kyle Kingma: Current TPE 49 Projected TPE 116 Dirk Firkley: Current TPE 33 Projected TPE 76 Left Wingers Maris Ziedins: Current TPE 55 Projected TPE 106 Valentin Taneyev: Current TPE 51 Projected TPE 96 Defensemen Teuvo Ruutu: Current TPE 109 Projected 173 Jakub Rhinehart: Current TPE 86 Projected TPE 169 Jakob Ackerman: Current TPE 95 Projected TPE 156 Borje Samuelsson: Current TPE 97 Projected TPE 154 Nicklas Karlsson: Current TPE 56 Projected TPE 133 Brandon Homes: Current TPE 66 Projected TPE 124 Jack Harkness: Current TPE 51 Projected TPE 80 Goalies Fedir Okranitz: Current TPE 75 Projected TPE 126 David Blind: Current TPE 23 Projected TPE 46 Analysis As you can see, the Season 41 in the VHLM is shaping up to be a goal scorer's dream. Sure, there are to be well-qualified defensemen working hard in their own end, but the dearth of skilled goaltender prospects is going to be a problem for a lot of teams. If Minot can retain their dynamic defensive duo of Rhinehart and Muller, teams may have a tough time getting to the net. Bratislava should be able to maintain a highly potent offense with Pettyfer, Shock and De Rossi. The Bern Royals will need to make some good off-season moves if they are to compete next year. While they look to retain Karlsson, many of the supporting roles are not likely to improve and they do not have the rights to Kyle Kingma for next season unless they make a move for him at the draft. Turku is likely to retain the title of VHLM bottom dweller due to their severe lack of talent on all fronts. Time will tell 462 words

  4. 5. Moscow Red Wolves Red Red from the Moscow Red Wolves is not your typical mascot. He's actually quite a jolly fellow. While most mascots will hand out high fives at will, Red will only do so once you answer a riddle that he poses to you. He's kind of a dick. Needless to say, Red is perhaps the most bland mascot in the entire VHLM. But he looks cool doing it. 4. Turku Outlaws The Turk The Turk is actually an ancient Turku warrior that really has nothing to do with the team. The Turkus were a barbarian tribe in Finland during the Roman Empire era, and were known for their elaborate disguises. As the legend goes, the Turkus fought back Roman invaders by covering themselves in shrubbery and giant clam shells. The Turk rushes onto the ice and hollers "Gluubeerama bluubeerama rajii rajii" and then does back flips back off the ice. The Turk is just a strange Finnish cultural thing, but I like him! 3. Bern Royals Bernie Bernie is the Royals' main attraction, well, after Jody 3 Moons of course! Outfitted in regalia worn by King Louis XVI, Bernie is the cat's pajamas. At every home game, Bernie knights one special fan to be the Sentry-on-Guard. The Sentry gets to drop a ceremonial puck and wear a funny looking sash. Did I mention that Bernie's crown includes the Ruby of the Empire which was Queen Victoria's most prized possession? Bernie has bling and is very distinguished. 2. Bratislava Watchmen Brutus IX of Bratislava Brataslava's Brutus IX is a majestic Slovakian Pit Bull Terrier who comes from a long lineage of Watchmen guard dogs. Brutus IX's great great great grandfather protected Slovakian soldiers from madness by fetching hockey sticks out of the Black Forest during the Great War. The student section at the Watchmen's arena is known as the "Dog Pound", but people don't bark. Instead they scowl at the opponents and drool and do all the fun things a Slovak Pit Bull does. It is often understood that opposing teams have about five minutes to leave the rink if they beat the Watchmen. Good thing for the league is that the Watchmen rarely lose. Brutus IX doesn't do much nowadays but he continues to inspire fans by his outreach work at local hospitals. Brutus IX has sired three sons who are all vying to become the next "Pes Na Starosti". 1. Oslo Storm Knut the Great Knut the Great electrifies the Oslo faithful with his high pressured antics. Knut whips Storm players into a feeding frenzy in which they devour their opponents. Not really, but you get the picture. Knut is just a big hunk of man and is in my opinion, the best mascot in the VLHM. ~475 words

  6. I'll do it. I've got a big boy job without big boy responsibilities.
  7. Kyle Kingma #8 Draft Season: S41 Age: 17 Ht: 6'3" Wt:250 Lbs Shoots R POB: Mansfield, Ohio Amateur Club: USNTDP U18 VHLM Club: Bern Royals Background Kyle is a big American power forward who steamrolls down the ice with a vengeance. Born in Mansfield, Ohio, Kyle is often regarded as the top player in Ohio hockey history and often times played at higher age levels due to his skill. Kyle attended the prestigious Shattuck-St. Mary's hockey program prior to joining the US National Team Development Program. Kyle won two national titles at SSM and scored 78 goals for 145 points his senior year. He captained Team USA twice at the World Juniors and won a silver and bronze. Kyle was claimed in Season 40 by the Bern Royals and is eligible for the Season 41 VHLM Dispersal Draft and the VHL Entry Draft. Playing Style and Abilities Kyle is a prototypical power forward resembling Rick Nash and former NHL great Peter Forsberg. At 6'3, 250lbs, Kyle garners a lot of attention from his opponent's defense which often times will open up passing lanes resulting in favorable scoring chances for his teammates. Kyle has an innate ability to slow the game down and use it to his advantage. When he chooses to attack the net by himself, he is often able to overpower and create scoring opportunities. Kyle has very soft hands and a great shot. While he is still a newbie to the VHLM, he picks up the game quick and rarely makes mental errors. Kyle's training regimen is superb and he is expected to gain a lot of experience this year and be a top prospect in next season's drafts. Kyle's measured IQ is 139 and he scored a perfect score of 50 on the Wonderlic Test. There are many upsides to Kyle's game including his size and shooting abilities, but some scouts have expressed concerns about his defensive game. Kyle is sometimes reluctant to follow the back check deep into his zone and tends to play the defenders too high. This is a learning curve that he has yet to account for. Kyle also needs to work on streamlining his physique so that he can improve his acceleration ("giddy up"). Outlook Kyle is projected to score about 25 goals and 20 assists in the remaining 40 games of the VHLM season and could earn between 80-100 TPE before the season is up. As many draft picks are selected based solely off of TPE alone, Kyle is projected to be selected between 10th and 15th overall. Scouts have already been chattering about his dedication to improvement and some have openly stated that some teams have him going in the top five due to his commitment for continuous improvement. Kyle is projected to exceed 175 during his rookie season (drafted) in the VHLM and will likely compete for a league scoring title.

  8. Any thought on when this might be graded? I'd like to add the TPE before the update
  9. Am I eligible to be drafted for both the VHLM and VHL in the same season, or do I need to play one full VHLM season first (after being drafted)?
  10. First career points (goal and assist)! In the first period after being in the sin bin for four minutes all in the first period
  11. I'm pretty new but im a quick learner and can be very responsive as I have a desk job with seniority
  12. Has anyone ever thought about putting the league champs (VHL and VHML) in the banner for the season after they win?
  13. COLUMBUS, OH Season 41 VHLM prospect Kyle Kingma was claimed by the Bern Royals today after a scramble of offers by other teams. Bern beat out Minot, Yukon, and Ottawa for Kingma's pre-Dispersal Draft season. Royals GM jaladolar said of Kingma, "he'll need some work, but we appreciated his determination and made every effort to get him on our team." Kingma, a 6'3", 250lb American power forward joins the Royals early enough in the season to have a strong impact. The Royals are holding their own in the league, but expect Kingma to contribute on the wings and when needed, center. Kingma was at the rink this morning when he heard that he was now a Bern Royal. "Its exciting", he said, "I've never been to Switzerland, but I've always wanted to visit the CERN supercollider!" When asked what kind of impact he thinks he'll have on the Royals, Kingma said "my goal is to listen to my coaches and fulfill my role as a power forward." Kingma's size makes him tough to defend. He has the ability to control the pace of play with his puck-handling skills and soft hands. Amateur scouts have likened his style to Rick Nash and Peter Forsberg. A scout who wishes to remain anonymous has said that "while Kingma is still pretty green, he has excelled at every level of hockey and I don't think it will take him long to find a niche in the VHLM." Season 40 started out great for the Royals with a seven game win streak. The Royals are scoring on average 4.33 goals per game (third in the league), but are looking for some consistency on the backend. When asked, Kingma stated "I think a good defense is the best offense, with that being said, I feel that my two-way game is pretty strong and that I can bang some bodies on the back check." Kingma said he is excited to play alongside what he calls the best centerman in the VHLM, Jody 3 Moons. "I hope I can we can get into some interesting two-on-one situations and just own the league!". When asked about the addition of Kingma to the Royals, Moons said "who?". Kingma is working with Swiss customs to get his workers visa and is still looking for a place to stay. "Its been pretty all of a sudden, you know?", he said, "but there are some pretty affordable hostels in Bern and I'm looking forward to the experience." Kingma was asked how he thought the year would play out and where he'd rank himself in the Season 41 Dispersal Draft, "well, I have a lot to prove you know, but I'm lucky to be able to play a pretty decent amount this season and show scouts that I am worthy of a high draft ranking." 471 words
