Excellent article! Very good read! A picture, a title, very good spacing, sentence structure, paragraphing, and usage of sub-headings. Very good use of font size, Bold and Underlining in article to give readers an easier read. Perhaps could have included each player's TPA at time of being drafted to help strength each players' case and review. Perhaps could have extended each draftee's review a bit further by emphasizing why so and so was chosen as opposed to so and so who was available at that time (although not including this in the thought process is also very reasonable as that's a lot of private business and also a lot more work ) Great use of your draft picks, getting players to fill multiple positions. Love that your final pick was 69! Best of luck in S83! 10/10

Excellent read! Very well written article (in the literal sense as well). Love the newspaper dating included in the article (although did we skip ahead into the future with Sunday April 10? or perhaps you're looking at it as a Monday Morning Newspaper ) Good spacing, sentence structure, and usage of Bold to distinguish the player's words. I feel you on the championship winning dream! Although shouldn't it be the Quintuple Crown (VHLM, VHLE, VHL, WJC Gold, WC Gold)? It's anyone's game this season, best of luck in your championship dreams! 10/10

We are near the end of the offseason, heading toward the start of S83 and the VHL season just around the corner. We found time to talk to a top prospect and S83 rookie, AirRig GoodBrandSun @Rhynex Entertainment. AirRig GoodBrandSun was recently drafted 5th Overall by the Calgary Wranglers in the S83 VHL draft. Reporter: Hello AirRig! It's good to see you again! Congratulations on being selected into the VHL by Calgary! What are your thoughts on being selected by Calgary and going 5th Overall in the S83 VHL draft? AG: Hello. Thank you! I am ecstatic to play for Calgary! GM Ricer @Ricer13 has a ton of knowledge and experience in the VHL that I could draw upon and seemed to really want me in Calgary, so I feel it's a great fit! They needed a defenseman and I play defense. Can't get much better than that! Reporter: You've been signed and called up straightaway from the ghetto. How do you feel you'll help Calgary in the upcoming season? What have you been doing to help your transition to the VHL? AG: I will do my part and play defense. Defense first is going to be the policy for the upcoming season! Just got to give it a 110% every game and be a sponge. Be a very absorbent sponge. It's going to be a great learning experience. I've bought a new thinking cap for the new season. Should be a good season! Reporter: A new thinking cap, now that's a new one! Best of luck in the coming season S83! Look forward to your conquest in the VHL! [word count 270]

SITR: Rhynex Entertainment S83 Preview Interview Host: Thank you for tuning into VHL Network, Stick In The Rink! We come to you live at the Sunrise Studios here in Manhattan, New York. We are within the off-season between S82 and S83, and we are experiencing a multitude of changes and a grand transformation to the leagues as we know them. Tonight, we have a special guest coming in to discuss about the current off season, the changes to the hockey leagues, and the thoughts toward what the changes mean and how the changes may shape the VHL. We have a former VHLer and the former VHL New York Americans star, Rhynex Entertainment @Rhynex Entertainment! Rhynex Entertainment was a former VHLer who played his entire career with the New York Americans and finished as one of the all time best to wear the Americans' jersey. Please welcome Rhynex Entertainment! (camera focuses on the audience showing a standing ovation, round of applause, and cheering. Rhynex Entertainment walks out from the backstage) Welcome Rhynex! Thanks for finding time to come in today! Rhynex Entertainment: Thank you for having me! It is good to be back on the show! (Rhynex Entertainment shakes hands with the Host) Host: This is your first extensive interview since your retirement from the VHL! How are you enjoying your retirement? What are you doing currently away from the game? Rhynex Entertainment: Yes, thank you! Retirement has been an unusual calm. Enjoying life away from the game of hockey but you can't really stay away for too long, when hockey is part of your DNA! Not very impressed with Team Canada and their efforts at the World Cup this year, but that Team Canada Junior Team on the other hand, now they were a good team! And of course, I cannot forget to congratulate my hometown team, the Vancouver Wolves, for winning their third start VHL Championship and the Victory and Continental Cups. And a congratulations to my good friend, Thadius Sales @thadthrasher, for his second Cup and Goaltending awards! But they (Vancouver Wolves) might struggle a bit this coming season in S83. Although Brandt Fuhr @Tate is a good pick up at the S83 draft, whom should lessen the blow of losing good ole Thads (Thadius Sales) to retirement. Host: (laughs) Well, sounds like you've been following the league and the games after your retirement! What are your thoughts on the recent S83 VHL entry draft? Any surprises? Who do you feel have the best chance to become the Rookie of the Year for S83? Rhynex Entertainment: (Chuckles) Not really. Only the ending results. I wouldn't say I was really following the league. Vancouver trading for the 2nd Overall Pick was the first surprise. A reasonable trade, given the circumstance, but a surprise never the least. The HC Davos Dynamo picking Siyan Yasilievich @badcolethetitan was also a surprise, although multiple mock drafts somehow predicted this result. You usually take the BPA in a draft that sees the league make a total rebranding, but as long as they (HC Davos) believes in their pick, that's all that matters. I haven't really studied the prospect list too thoroughly, so I can't really make any more comments, but definitely only time will tell how these newbies would pan out in the end. Hmm, and as for the Rookie of the Year for S83? Well, you might not be asking the correct person here, given I didn't even get a vote for Rookie of the Year in my year (laughs; a few boos could be heard from the audience, a reminiscent of the tragic New York Americans S76). Has a goalie won Rookie of the Year? Brandt Fuhr could be a good candidate. Host: Alright. Well at least you must have heard of there being some changes to the leagues. What are your thoughts on the changes and how do you feel these changes would change the VHL? Rhynex Entertainment: The changes by the Commission are quite intriguing to be honest. The VHL had become quite an offensive scoring league near the end of my tenure. I mean even an old man like myself had such an amazing season in S81, and that was during the twilight of my career! With the changes being implicated by the league, I feel the game should and would become more defensive. The old basis of scoring would eventually return as players get used to the new format, but most likely it won't be as extensive as when I played. Times are changing and in a better direction. Players, coaches, GMs will have to adapt to the new age! We won't really know what the leagues would look like until we get the games going, and we'll probably need a few seasons before we could have a sense of the direction the league is heading, but I believe it's a good thing. Can't have a league full of offensive players inflating scoring stats and terrorizing goaltenders. Let's patiently watch the coming few seasons and come back to this question at that later date. For now, S83 is going to be a good season to wait and see. Now, for those betters and gamblers out there, I wouldn't bet your life savings on who would win what awards in this upcoming S83. The familiar names of old might not be the same names of old. They might look the same, smell the same, even sound the same (except maybe a little bit older), but they are certainly not the same players as you may have remembered and have experienced watching in the past few years. (a few audible gasps could be heard from the audience) Host: You heard the man. Betters beware! The leagues are changing, things may not appear the same. It's a mirage! Since you spoke of the changes, who do you feel would win the Victory Cup in S83? How about the Season Player awards? Rhynex Entertainment: It's hard to say! It could be anyone's game this coming season. S83 is going to be a fun season to watch. Vancouver won't be the super power that no team could really beat in a best of 7. GMs and their teams are all just rushing and filling up their rosters so it's still too early to see who has the definite edge in the upcoming season. As for player awards, that's also a good question. We don't really know how each player would perform which the new "rules" being instated. Like I said, betters should be careful with their betting. Let's just watch and see how things develop. Host: Good stuff! We are running out of time, are there any departing words for the fans out there? Rhynex Entertainment: It's good to see all of you here in New York City! Enjoy the upcoming S83! It's going to be one blast of a season! (Cheers being to erupt from the audience as people begin to rise on their feet) Host: There you have it! Rhynex Entertainment! (Host stands up to once again shake hands with Rhynex Entertainment as the camera pans out toward the audience and fades to commercials) [Word count 1194] [Claims for Weeks ending 2022-04-10 and 2022-04-17]

1. Trades are always nice when you're the return 2. nothing yet, 10 tpa 3. draft hype is always there 4. salt is more important 5. only if I'm the one fooling people 6. the bouncy wire thing or the season?

Very good article and very good read! Very good use of spacing and sentence structure along with Team logos for easy recognition! Perhaps could have bolded each player drafted along with the team as that would make it an even easier distinction to see. Good analysis of each team's situation and possible choice for each team for the draft, but could have added a bit more information for further detailed analysis on each team's situation. For example, for your emphasis on "Chicago only have three forwards on the roster", you could name the 3 forwards and their positions and explain why Scotty would be the best choice to mesh with those 3 roster forwards. Putting name to paper is sometimes very useful for articles like these. I'm flattered for the high phrase and draft position! Happy that you feel I deserve the top dman spot for this draft. Cheers! 8.5/10

With the S83 VHL entry draft just around the corner, we found time to talk to a top prospect and eligible draftee, AirRig GoodBrandSun @Rhynex Entertainment. AirRig GoodBrandSun is ranked as one of the top eligible draftees in the upcoming S83 VHL draft. As a recent World Junior Championship Gold Medalist, mock draft predicts a top 5 selection for AirRig GoodBrandSun. Reporter: Hello AirRig! It's good to see you again! Congratulations on winning the Gold Medal at the WJC for Canada. What are your thoughts on the tournament? AG: Hello. Thank you! It was a tremendous experience gaining tournament. We had a very good team and it ended up with a shiny bling around my neck! I thank my teammates and coaching staff as well as @Shindigs for the selection. Couldn't get myself this gold thing without their help! Reporter: The VHL draft is just right around the corner, what are your thoughts on your preparation for S83? AG: There are a lot of good players in this draft. I have a lot to work on in my game. S83 is going to be good. It's anyone's game for the ROTY in S83! Reporter: Best of luck at the draft! Look forward to seeing you in the VHL next season. [word count 210]

Prospect Scouting Report Name: AirRig GoodBrandSun Nationality: Canadian Position: Defense Height: 6'5'' Weight: 220 lbs Age: 24 Selected 6th Overall by the Houston Bulls in S82 VHLM Entry Draft, AirRig GoodBrandSun is your prototype big game player and shutdown defenseman. Ever since joining the VHLM in S81 for half season and the playoffs, AirRig GoodBrandSun has shown to be an outstanding big game player; scoring in important games and competing in two VHLM Championship Finals in two VHLM seasons. As a big 6'5'' defenseman, AirRig plays to his physical strength. Known for his massive body checks and ability to clear the front of the net. With a top 5 in body checks in S82, AirRig brings an extra emphasis on grit and toughness. Offensively, AirRigh GoodBrandSun is an unmovable force when parked in front of the net, a major net front presence on the power play. AirRig also has an excellent view of the ice and is an excellent passer, finishing top 10 in assists in S82. AirRig finished 3rd in scoring for a defenseman in S82, while still being an incredible physical force in both body checks and shot blocking. With his excellent defensive play, AirRig was also chosen to play for a stacked Team Canada at the WJC, in both S81 and S82, and winning Gold for Canada as a steady stay at home defender. With an excellent work ethic and leadership capabilities, AirRig processes the qualities that any team would want and need when building for winning championships. Pros Defensive Awareness: One of the best defensive players in the VHLM. Knows where to be and what to do in any defensive situations. A key piece to a perfect penalty kill. AirRig GoodBrandSun has shown to already have a top tier VHL level defensive awareness (DF stat was 85 before hybrid reset). AirRig GoodBrandSun also has an excellent defensive ability to stick check opposing players and clearing the net on defensive plays. Physicality: Excellent body checker and strength. Hard to push off the puck and push out of the way. A massive net front presence and someone not many people dares to face off against in a fight. Cons Skating: While AirRig GoodBrandSun is a smooth skater, mobility is still a problem for big defenders, and is something AirRig needs to improve on. Do not have high end speed, acceleration, or lateral movement. Will need to work on mobility to be effective at the VHL level, or may end up becoming only an excellent pylon defender Discipline: With extra size comes extra responsibilities. As mobility is an issue, add in the comfort of producing massive hits and stick work, taking penalties becomes an additional side-effect. AirRig tends to take untimely penalties, including the infamous Delay of Game penalty in Game 7 of the VHLM Finals, on a play where he got tripped. [Word Count 474]

With the completion of the VHLM Season 82 playoffs, we found time to have a short chat with the Houston Bulls star defender AirRig GoodBrandSun @Rhynex Entertainment, whom just been selected to play for Team Canada in the upcoming World Juniors Championship! Reporter: Hello AirRig! It's good to see you again! It is unfortunate that your series with the Saskatoon Wild did not go as planned. What are your thoughts on the series? Season 82 in particular? AG: Hello. Yes, Saskatoon was an incredible team. They stormed back down 3 - 1, and we blew it. Game seven was not a fine moment either. We had a good season, but a loss is a loss. And now it's back to back losses in the Finals. Reporter: What are your plans for the off season? Are you ready for the VHL? AG: Well I'll be representing Team Canada for a second straight year, so that's pretty awesome! I didn't get to play much the first time around, hopefully I'll get a chance to prove myself more this time around. Will definitely help my game in preparation of the VHL. Reporter: Awesome! Best of Luck at the Worlds! [word count 197]

S82 VHLM Playoffs Featured Game - VHLM Finals Game Seven Welcome back to Featured Games Recap. We are finally at the end of Season 82. Our featured game is the final game of the VHLM Season 82. We have a match between the visiting Saskatoon Wild versus the home team, Houston Bulls, in Game Seven of the VHLM Season 82 Playoffs Finals. The everlasting Season 82 has finally come down to this single game. A winner take all, championship game in Houston, Texas. The winner runs away with the Founder's Cup and the loser goes off into the off season pondering what could have been, and what a waste of a season is was. Finals. Game Seven. Where heroes and legends are born. First Period. The puck is dropped and we are underway, and the Houston Bulls are down 1 - 0. Brian Kowalski @Wheaties opened the scoring for the Saskatoon Wild 0:33 into the game with his 12th of the playoffs. Just like that the Wild are up to an early lead. They've always said that the first couple minutes and last couple minutes of each period is always the most deadliest minutes of a hockey game. And thus, Dens Oden @Snussu goes off for Tripping 0:54, a minor penalty to the Saskatoon Wild. The Houston Bulls tried mightily to tie up the game on the power play to no avail. And back the other way, 2 - 0, Goal by Napolean Dynamite @thadthrasher, his 4th of the post season at 5:57, and to make things worse Joey Coaster @FANTEIGE goes off for Delay of Game, 6:13, giving Saskatoon a power play and a chance to go up 3 - 0. The Bulls makes a much needed penalty kill, and Goal! 3 -0, second goal of the game by Cheesy (if you know the reference, nice ) -erm I mean Napolean Dynamite. Just 8:14 into the first period and Houston Bulls goaltender Ali Des Aves @ViprVipe has been pulled from the most important game of the season. 3 goals on 4 shots and the Saskatoon Wild are up 3 - 0 in the dangerous home ice of the Houston Bulls. Daniel McGleis @lukechezzwoo is in the game for the Bulls. It is now up to Daniel (McGleis) to shut the door and give the Bulls a chance to stage a comeback! Jack Quill @GoldGear88 wins the face-off versus Joey Coaster, and Malum Maellard @frescoelmo ices the puck. Joey Coaster wins the face-off against Napoleon Dynamite and hits Pierre Emile Bouchard @Gaikoku-hito, and loses the puck. (Editor's Note: Is that the Misplay of the Game? What are you doing Joey (Coaster), you won the face off and had the puck, why make a hit only to lose the puck?) Napoleon Dynamite shoots, and he scores. Goal! Hat trick! 3rd of the night for the man with the nerdy hair and glasses! 2 shot deflections and 1 shot and it's 3 goals on 3 shots, and the game is 4 - 0! Saskatoon Wild leads 4 - 0, 9:27 into the first period. Not even half of a period has been played and the Wild are up 4 - 0, and they have only taken 5 shots! (Editor's note: And the game was basically over at this point, it is incredibly difficult to come back from down 4 - 0, unless a miracle ensues) And the trend continues. Another penalty was called right after a goal. Justin Adolfsen @NJDevils24 goes off for Roughing at 10:31, giving the Houston Bulls a chance to get into the game. The Saskatoon Wild killed off the penalty, and then AirRig GoodBrandSun @Rhynex Entertainment gets tripped by Ryan @freezyeh, at 13:22, causing AirRig (GoodBrandSun) to send the puck over the boards into the crowd of Houston Bulls fans. Ryan, 2 minutes for Tripping. AirRig GoodBrandSun, 2 minutes for Delay of Game. Coincidental (minor) penalties. 4 on 4 hockey for 2 minutes. (Editor's Note: Now that's a first, I have never seen a Delay of Game penalty caused by a Tripping penalty before) Jack Quill scores to extend the lead to 5 - 0 for Saskatoon at 17:14 and the first period of Game Seven of the VHLM Championship Playoffs Finals ends with the Saskatoon Wild up 5 - 0. Shots were Saskatoon Wild 10 to Houston Bulls 9. Lots of penalties ensue in the Second Period, including a penalty by Ryan just 5 seconds into the period, and a penalty at 19:48 by Scoish Velociraptor Maloish @youloser1337 which gives the Saskatoon Wild a power play going into the third period. Nine @NineIQ v2 scores their 12th of the playoffs for the Houston Bulls at 17:29, ruining Augustus Kennedy @InstantRockstar's shutout bid and getting Houston onto the (score)board. Heading into the 2nd intermission, the Saskatoon Wild leads 5 - 1. Shots were 11 to 8 for Houston Bulls in the second period. With the start of the Third Period, the Saskatoon Wild are still on the power play, looking to re-extend their lead to 5. Scotty Sundin @fromtheinside scores Shorthanded, his 11th of the playoffs, at 1:46 near the end of the penalty to cut the Wild's lead to 5 - 2. Ayomide Ayodele @KingOercy further cuts the lead, to 5 - 3, with their 9th of the post season at 18:20, a little too late, and only to see Jack Quill re-extend the lead back to 3 goals at 18:42 making the game out of reach at 6 - 3. Houston Bulls made a valiant effort to come back into the game, with a 2 goal, 14 shots effort in the third period; outshooting the Saskatoon Wild 14 to 6. Final Shot Count: Houston Bulls 34, Saskatoon Wild 24. Final Score: 6 - 3. The Saskatoon Wild comes back from down 3 - 1 in the (Playoff) Series to Win the Founder's Cup! 4 games to 3. Congratulations to the Saskatoon Wild! Winner of the Founder's Cup and claiming the crown as the Champion of Season 82 in the VHLM! 3 Stars of the Game: 1 - Napoleon Dynamite (SSK) - Hat trick 3 goals on 3 shots, Game Winner, +3. 2 - Jack Quill (SSK) - 2 goals, 3 shots, 3 hits, 20 for 32 in the face offs, +1 3 - Chase Taylor @NyQuil (SSK) - 3 assists, 1 shot, +3 Game Notes (and Honourably Mentions): · Augustus Kennedy (SSK), 31 saves from 34 shots - (0.912% Save %) in the Win · Daniel McGleis (HOU), 17 saves from 20 shots in 51:46 minutes · Scotty Sundin (HOU), 1 goal, 1 assist, 5 shots, 2 hits, 2 shot blocks, 19 of 39 face off wins, + 1 · Scotty Sundin, AirRig GoodBrandSun, and Hammer Voss @BOOM (the captains) were the only players to be Plus Players for Houston, each +1 · Saskatoon Wild were 7 for 7 on the penalty kill; Houston Bulls were 4 for 4 on their penalty kill. · The Craziest First Period Play-by-Play I have ever read [Word Count 1,169] [Claims for Weeks ending 2022-03-27, and 2022-04-03]
