6. He should get a shot because he’s an amazing gm, he’s very positivity and helpful to everyone on the team and he keeps the locker room active. And to pick one person would be hard, but probably cowboy

1. Continue to earn and keep the momentum going 2. Some of the players are just not gelling together, we need to find the right combinations on lines to help the depth 3. I like a bit of a surprise contender so I hope they keep up the good work 4. Thanksgiving was boring this year, I didn’t get to see any of my extended family, so basically I just ate turkey and played uno with my family 5. Bacon cheeseburgers, those things are delicious 6. That sounds like it would be a good idea, I never really cared about the winter classic except for when my team plays in it

I’m in, I’m pretty decent at chess but nothing crazy

1. Week one has been pretty fun, my guy has been decent but is getting better. Overall the team just needs to get on track and everything will be good. 2. I’m at around where I expected to be, not elite yet but close to it. 3. Team needs to focus on improving our defensive ratings 4. Ability to talk to many people and have good interactions 5. Ham, I like meat a lot, ham is just all around good on any holiday 6. Cowboy, that guy is crazy and seems like he’d have a lot of good stories

1. I’m super excited, I’ve been itching to get back into the swing of things, I’ve been missing games. 2. I think the junior ideas and inactive policy changes are positive and are gonna help the league continue to grow. 3. Definitely our captain Cowboy, he’s pretty close to max and I think he’s gonna be very key to our success this season 4. Steak, lots of steak. Nothing like a good meal before a big game 5. The Padres just made it to the NLDS this year, but lost badly to the LA Dodgers 6. Roll Riga baby!

1. The drafts were both very interesting, I liked watching along and waiting to get picked, definitely had some excitement when I got picked both times. The biggest takeaway from the drafts is that the VHLM is gonna be very competitive this year, and for the VHL a bunch of very good upcoming players got picked which will lead to the continued growth of the league 2. I think I got selected pretty high in the VHLM draft, I was expecting to go around the low 4th but I’m happily surprised. As for the VHL I went around where I expected to go and I’m very excited for the opportunity with both teams 3. Obviously I expect to increase my totals as they were pretty low at the end of the year, however as long as my team is doing good then I don’t mind 4. I’m a center so I wanted to work a little bit on my face off skill, then just overall spread out the tpe to the important categories to stay well balanced 5. I couldn’t say, I’m not very familiar with the forum clubhouse, but I look forward to using it more 6. I’m proud of him for being named captain and I can’t wait to get rolling this year!

Yeah I get that, like spacing and some pictures to make it neat and more presentable

Yessir we did it!

n the S75 VHL draft, the Riga Reign went big getting Addison McLaren, Cabe Mcjake, Nikolas D’Andrea, and Vivek Weiner. These players are all connected not just by the team that drafted them, but the team who they player for last year, the S74 Founders Cup champion Miami Marauders. The Marauders completed one of the craziest Cinderella runs in all of VHLM history, defeating the heavy favorite Halifax 21st in a heavily contested rollercoaster 7 game series, again going into another 7 game series against a very strong Los Vegas Aces team who almost completed a reverse sweep. After slaying the dragon and overcoming the Ricer curse, the Marauders made quick work of the Mississauga Hounds, completing a 4 game sweep and capturing the Founders Cup. The main points of drafting these 3 players are, championship pedigree, clutch factor, and overall activity. The Miami Marauders were amazing at keeping their team locked in and engaged in the locker room, which ultimately led to the success of the team as every player kept upgrading their players every week. This is something the Reign need desperately as they are in rebuild mode, which requires them to turn their picks into players who will grow and develop to slowly mold their team together over time, which will pay dividends in the long run as they don’t have to worry about picking the highest tpe players, instead finding players who are going to continue to grow at a high rate. Both Mcjake and McLaren are constantly at the top of weekly earnings, shine light onto the ever growing new generation of Riga Reign hockey. As for D’Andrea, he started as a late acquisition during the late season playoff push for the Marauders, contributing points whenever he could, provided the needed depth the Marauders needed to go the distance in the playoffs. He will most certainly need more time to season in the VHLM before he’ll be able to make an impact in the big league. Along with the Miami boys, the Reign also picked up Dolant Fertitta, a star left winger who played with Halifax the past season, has a great scoring touch and overall strong offensive skill set, as well he has a very strong defensive game which will add up to a strong player to add for the Riga Reign. Along with Fertitta, Riga also selected Joe Kelly, and all around Center who played for Halifax, his skill set is similar to Fertitta’s he brings good chem and skill to this bright Riga team. Also I’m the first round, Riga selected Sirkants Klamasteris, a goalie who played for Ottawa this past season, he had a .889 save percentage and a sub 3 GAA, which is very good stats for a goalie at age 25. In round 2 the Reign had back to back to back picks, selecting Justin Lose, Linus Zetterstrom, and Artair McCloud. Overall 3 very smart picks, all players seem to be very active and strong base players which help build the core of the Reign team. In the 3rd and 4th the Reign went with Isau Damoose, Teppo McBighit, Andy Nexber, Connor Sim, and Liam Fischl. Riga’s draft continued to take many players to create a great pool of prospects to bolster a strong start to the draft. The remainer of the draft, Riga’s GM focused on taking players who showed activity throughout the season, along with Matt Sovick Jr. A galore who also played for the Marauders the past season, continuing to grow a championship atmosphere in the locker room. Overall the Riga Reign had an amazing draft, which hopefully will continue to push a successful rebuild through activity in the locker room and on the portal. Word count-619 Week ending-11/15/20
