Yes!! Thank you, that's so much better than the Animation

Lesser attraction compared to the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre

Cabe???? BUST??????You must not have followed the VHLM playoffs. Decent article other than the instant licks for L and R

I know, I tried harder to find a decent Disney name but couldn’t

Bigger cities in different countries. The attendance would be similar either way

So, I asked either Bek or Acyd if the VHLM Juniors teams were going to have names, and they said no. Still, it's fun to imagine the names of the teams if we, the community, were to pick and vote on names and logos. I took some time thinking of some cool team names for these teams, one for each current VHLM franchise. Most of them are relatively close in distance, but for some I just got creative. Feel free to tell me what you think Reykjavik Glaciers Affiliate to the Halifax 21st I know Glaciers isn't the most badass name out there, but we have a lot of talented logo people in this league, so I'm sure one of them can cook up a sick logo. I think Reykjavik is a good choice for a city because they don't really have any major sports teams and I think an M team could really get the whole country into it. Glaciers I think is a name synonymous to the wide sheets of ice that cover a lot of Iceland. My other idea for a Reykjavik team was something like the Reykjavik Fire and Ice, which isn't great on it's own but manipulated in some way it sounds cool. Iceland is known as 'the land of fire and ice' for it's weird climate, which ranges from hot springs to volcanoes to glaciers. I considered some names like 'Firestorm' and Fire Blizzard' but that idea kind of died. Glaciers just seemed like the right one. Havana Rockets Affiliate to the Houston Bulls Ohhhh yeah. The Cuban Missile Crisis. Sets up a brilliant name for any Cuba/Havana based team of any sort. I like Rockets over Missiles just because I think it's smoother and it sounds better. Rockets also sets up a bunch of cool logo ideas. Havana as a city isn't currently a hockey city of any sort, but I figured why not spread the cheer? Hockey is a great sport and Cuba has some good potential when it comes to ticket sales. I couldn't think of any other ideas for a Havana based team. Rockets/Missiles seemed so perfect. Hawaii Fighting Geckos Affiliate to the Las Vegas Aces Yes, you read that right. The Hawaii Fighting Geckos. When I think of Hawaii, I think of geckos. I've never even been there. But geckos were my favourite animal when I was like seven, and now that I'm older, imagining some badass version of one just seems awesome. For the logo design, I'm thinking two things: either a really buff gecko with boxing gloves, or a gangster gecko with sunglasses, a cigar, and a machine gun. Personally, I prefer the gangster gecko, but I guess the sig-specialists should be making that decision. My immediate other idea for a Hawaii team was the Volcanoes, but that just doesn't jive. Fighting Geckos is way more badass Jamaica Reggaes Affiliate to the Mexico City Kings As you can by now probably tell, I see lots of potential for the hockey market in the Caribbean, for no apparent reason. Jamaica is an amazing place. I have also never been there. I haven't traveled the world much at all. Anyway, the name Reggaes is pretty obvious in it's background as Jamaica is the home of reggae and Bob Marley. For the logo, I have no idea. Someone will think of something, someone always does. There really wasn't any other ideas in my head for a Jamaica team. Not many names with good background. Orlando Animation Affiliate to the Miami Marauders Florida loves hockey enough to have two teams in the NHL, so why not two in the VHL? Although I personally hate the name I spent half an hour coming up with, an Orlando team would be great, since Orlando is just a touristy place in general, thanks mostly to the company I based the name off of: Disney. One of the biggest entertainment companies in the world, not to mention arguably the most famous. For the logo, something "magical". I hate this name. I really do. But I love the idea of a Disney-based Orlando team. Please reply and help me with this. Seattle Sockeyes Affiliate to the Minnesota Storm The name that barely lost to the Kraken for the new NHL team. Featuring a sockeye salmon, a fish that is ugly as hell but patriotic as hell for the Seattle area. The original jersey design proposed by random people on the web was pretty cool: a totem-pole salmon, which A. is good for more background on that area and B. it takes away some of that butt ugliness of the actual fish. Literally, this fish is one of the most ugly things I have ever seen in my life. I encourage y'all to look up 'sockeye salmon' and prepare yourself to puke in your mouth a little bit. It really is nasty. Other ideas for the NHL Seattle team were Emeralds, Metropolitans, Cougars, etc. All not as good as Kraken and Sockeyes. Hamilton Terriers Affiliate for the Mississauga Hounds There really isn't any background in Hamilton for 'terriers'. I think it just sounds cool. And if you make a bunch of names that have deep cultural meanings, you gotta throw some in there that have no meaning whatsoever and just sound cool. And I think Hamilton Terriers has a nice ring to it. It also fits in nicely with the whole dogs thing with the Hounds, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not yet. A logo with a small dog such as a terrier doesn't sound amazing on paper, but if you make it really vicious and add some hockey stuff, it can be decent. I considered the Hamilton Tigers, Hamilton's old NHL team, for a bit, but Tigers is a common-ass name in sports. Montreal Voyageurs Affiliate to the Ottawa Lynx The team that I've been hyping since expansion became a possibility, the Montreal Voyageurs. Deep cultural reference, way back to the 1600s when Quebec was a French settlement. But also a cool sounding name in English: 'Muntree-all Voya-jerz' and in French: 'Muh-ray-al Voya-zher". For the logo, I would love a logo similar to the one of the Baie-Comeau Drakkar where there is a nice-looking boat, which is basically what 'Voyageurs' means in the first place. I don't have any more names for a Montreal based team, but someone else definitely does. Feel free to share Pittsburgh Steelheads Affiliate to the Philadelphia Reapers Wow, you're probably thinking, that's a boring ass name compared to the Hawaii Fighting Geckos. And you'd be right. It's kinda boring. But it pays homage to Pittsburgh being the steel city, and I dearly hope there are steelhead fish in Pennsylvania now. I love the Mississauga Steelheads' logo, so I'm hoping for something along those lines. Pittsburgh has become a hockey city since the Steelers have sucked recently and nobody cares about baseball, plus the small fact of Sidney Crosby winning them like three cups in six years. I think it'd be a perfect place for another pro team, and an affiliate in state is helpful in reality. This is another name that I spent a while trying to come up with one, but couldn't find anything cool, so I went with an average one. I was thinking like Robots or something like that but that just doesn't sound right. Paris Triomphe Affiliate to the San Diego Marlins I've seen this name being proposed by people a lot, and I like it. It's obviously based off of the Arc de Triomphe, one of the lesser attractions in France, but it's still very cool. I was going to do the Paris Knights, which is common but goes well together, but Triomphe is just much cooler. Paris is a big city, with hella people, and it's soccer teams do fairly well. I just think there are so many people it'd be fine with a hockey team, at the very least people will go if there's no soccer. France is experiencing a bit of a growth in hockey, with P-E Bellemare a vet in the NHL and Alexandre Texier an up and coming young guy. I think there's potental for sure. I did really like the Paris Knights, but I guess people in general like the Triomphe better, so yeah. Edmonton Oil Kings Affiliate to the Saskatoon Wild Yes, I'm flat out copying the name of a WHL team. But I really, really love this name and it would fit well with all these other crap names that I made up. Realistically, we can make a deal with the WHL to move the Oil Kings to the VHLM Juniors, which would be awesome. However, I do not like their current logo at all, because it has no reference to oil whatsoever and is just plain bad. I'm confident someone can make a good one. Edmonton is a hardcore hockey city, as Gretzky and McDavid have made a lot of hockey fans in the last fifty years. Overall, Saskatoon isn't far from Edmonton, the name sounds cool, and a new logo sounds promising. Nice. I was thinking about different names involving oil for a while and couldn't think of any, so I copied one. If anyone had any ideas, please share. Tokyo Katanas Affiliate to the Yukon Rush The first name I made up and the one I've had to wait all this time for.....the Tokyo Katanas! It was brought to my attention to @GustavMattias's amazing new player Taro Tsujimoto, who the Buffalo Sabres faked selecting in the 1974 NHL draft. Tsujimoto's fake Japanese team that he 'played' for in his draft year was the Katanas, which is a Japanese sword of some sort. A cool sounding name, with an awesome meaning. What more coudl you want? How about a great city in Tokyo with the potential to be a great hockey city? I think this is the best name on this list. Checks all the boxes, and sounds so badass. I love it. There have been some other proposed Tokyo names, but I think Katanas trumps them all. Well, there you have it. The team names I want for the VHLM Juniors. @VHLM Commissioner I'd love it if you guys checked this out and give me some feedback. Also, anyone who has any favourites or any suggestions, I'm here and I've got lots of time. P.S. This is a new record for words in an article for me 1,749 words

FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY oh shit a LVA player saw this thread

Once I get STHS running, I'm applying straight away. Stay tuned

At the very least, I will follow the tourney closely and apply next season. Throwing my support in for Spartan and Jiggs tho

There are more competent candidates than me for now so I shall not apply

Review: Wow, there's some serious fire in this rant. I like it. A player as active as Juniper is bound to have a great career. My only tips are, if you can, make the video smaller, and some of your sentences got cut off there. But you spaced it well and used bold text, which is good. 8/10

'Twas the night of the VHL Entry draft, and in the second round, there was a 25% chance that, if you were selected in that round, you would go to the Riga Reign, who had an abominable amount of picks in the draft. Linus Zetterstrom was one of those picks, and he is joining a rebuild that will be surprising if it doesn't yield a championship. Here are some of the talent that Riga drafted: Cabe McJake, 1st round, 7th overall Addison McLaren, 1st round, 8th overall Dolant Fertitta, 1st round, 10th overall Joe Kelly, 1st round, 12th overall Sirkants Klamasteris, 1st round, 14th overall Justin Lose, 2nd round, 26th overall Linus Zetterstrom, 2nd round, 27th overall Artair McCloud, 2nd round, 28th overall Vivek Weiner, 2nd round, 32nd overall Isau DaMoose, 3rd round, 38th overall Teppo McBighit, 3rd round, 42nd overall Andy Nexber, 4th round, 52nd overall Connor Sim, 4th round, 58th overall Liam Fischl, 4th round, 59th overall Nikolas DAndrea, 4th round, 64th overall Jared Carter, 6th round, 87th overall Eddie Dams, 6th round, 90th overall Hi Hello, 6th round, 94th overall Matthew A Sovick Jr., 7th round, 106th overall Nineteen picks! Holy crap! Hedgehog pretty much sold his entire team to load up for this deep, deep draft, and it seems to have worked magnificently. McJake and McLaren are two TPE-earning monster first-gens who look like steals even at 7 and 8. Fertitta and Kelly are good, solid guys you can depend on to have a career in the VHL, Klamasteris will be the goalie of the future, Lose, Zetterstrom, McCloud, and Weiner look like potential quality depth picks, DaMoose, McBighit, and Nexber all have massive potential, Sim, Fischl, and DAndrea are long-term fliers who could end up great, Carter and Dams are 6th round fliers, and Hello and Sovick are the backup option for goalies. Great job, hedgehog, it looks like you got a whole bunch of unique talent in this draft. Watch as this group slowly makes it's way into VHL stardom. 336 words

I bet we could get some team names and logos if we held a contest or something....even if they don't have a presence on the portal, it gives the league something unique to do....I have a few ideas myself MONTREAL VOYAGEURS

Good luck @correllvincent, it seems Jiggs thinks us similar! Keep active, and do your pressers

1. As I keep spamming on discord, I really like the potential of Alexis Leprince, and I think we did great with our limited picks 2. Kind of an underdog win, we were two minutes away from getting to the finals. Oh well, always next year 3. Getting to 250 TPE for myself and making the playoffs for the Aces 4. From what I have learned, the 'best' teams are Las Vegas, Miami, Philly, and Sasky 5. Kind of interested in Berocka's cricket league, and I catch the odd football game sometimes 6.
