Review: Well there's some good and some bad in this graphic from my point of view. Overall, the colour scheme is solid. The backdrop to the image looks great and I love the effects over top of the player render, it looks great. Additionally, I like that you added in the Bears logo in the top right corner to help eat up some empty space. It's a simple thing to do, but so many people make these graphics and don't bother and it really takes away from the final result. But you opted to put it in and I think it's awesome. My only qualms with the graphic is the name and font choice. It's just awfully plain. While yes, it is nice and readable, it could use something to make it a little more visually appealing. Whether it be some sort of stroke effect or outline to the font, anything would be an improvement. Also the alignment of the font seems kinda weird. Either have the whole name across the bottom in one row, or if you want it to be two rows, have the Hulk and Hogan line up better, that's just my personal preference though. Overall though this is a pretty solid graphic, nice work. 7.5/10

NEW YORK AMERICANS PRESS CONFERENCE For Week-Ending of May 08/22 1) If you could rebrand the New York Americans, what would you call them and what would you use for a logo? 2) How satisfied are you with your player's performance up to this point in the season? Are you doing better or worse than you expected? 3) The NHL playoffs started this week. Who do you think is going to win the Cup, or who are you cheering for? If you aren't a hockey enjoyer, what other sports have you been watching? 4) Today is Mother's Day. Anything special planned for today or is it just just another Sunday for ya? 5) What's your go-to for fast-food or are you a health-freak and only consume things that aren't garbage for you? 6) Earlier this week was May 4th, also known as Star Wars Day (May the Fourth Be With You. Star Wars is one of my favourite movie franchises. What is your favourite movie franchise or just a couple of your favourite movies?

NEW YORK AMERICANS PRESS CONFERENCE For Week-Ending of May 01/22 1) What team in the VHL do you think has been most surprising for better or for worse so far this season? 2) If you could visit any American city for a weekend trip, where would you go and what would you do while there? 3) If the VHL were to expand, name two cities you think would be good choices for expansion. 4) What is your more recently played song or name a song that you've been listening to a ton lately. 5) I just finished binging the final half season of Ozark.

We are just over a third of the way through the Season 83 VHL Season, and the Chicago Phoenix are turning heads in the North American Conference. Through 25 games, the Phoenix are 13-11-1 and are in sole position of third place in the NA with 27 points. The three-headed rookie trio of The Board Game Clue On Skates, Scotty Sundin, and Bo Johansson continue to make waves throughout the league. Many hockey pundits expected the Phoenix to start turning the corner this season, but surely nobody expected the team to surge up the standings the way they have thus far. It's still early in the season, and the youngsters have yet to face much adversity throughout the campaign to date, but Chicago is slowly turning nay-sayers into believers one day at a time. Don't expect any splashy trades this season at the trade deadline though. Look for Chicago to stay the course and stick to their plan. The team is only going to get better in the next couple of seasons, and Chicago fans have tons of reasons to get excited for what's to come down the road!

We are about a week into the VHL season and there is no shortage of interesting storylines developing throughout the league. In the North American Conference. Seattle has gotten off to a decent start and sit atop the standings with a 7-2-0 record. Meanwhile over in the European Conference, things are a bit more lopsided. London and Moscow currently hold the top spots with 15 and 14 ponits respectively, while Riga is right behind them with 13. One of the teams who has surprised some people thus far though has been the Chicago Phoenix. As many of you know, the Phoenix have been knees-deep in a rebuild for the last season or two, but this season they are finally starting to see the fruits of their labour. Chicago is rolling out four rookie players in their active lineup this season, and so far they have jumped in head first and have done great. Leading them has been their forward The Board Game Clue On Skates, who is red hot to start the year. He has seven goals and eight assists for 15 points in total, which is seventh in the league in points, which is best amongst all rookies. Clue has connected with fellow rookie teammate Bo Johansson frequently, and the duo are giving the team a lot of early success as the Phoenix currently sit fourth in the NA conference.

I will reach out to Tavish and see what I can do

NEW YORK AMERICANS PRESS CONFERENCE For Week-Ending of Apr 24/22 1) The first handful of games for this season have finally happened. How is your player feeling after the first handful of games? 2) If your player was a multi-sport athlete, what other sport do you think they would excel in and why? 3) The Reinhart brothers have arrived in New York. They have both been in the league a few years now, but have only ever known success and winning. This will be the first taste of adversity in their careers. What do you expect from them going forward or how do you think they will handle it? 4) There are rumors swirling that sophomore Vasile Lamb could be on the move before the end of his entry-level contract. Do you think trading away the young phenom is a bad move or a good move? 5) Did you participate in VHFL this season? If so how do you think you did? If not, have you ever done VHFL in the past and if so how did you do? 6) We are almost through April and summer is quickly sneaking up on us. Do you have any plans for yourself this summer?

Cheers guys! Here's to the new era of Chicago, the rising of the Phoenix!

NEW YORK AMERICANS PRESS CONFERENCE For Week-Ending of Apr 17/22 1) The New York Americans recently traded a couple of future picks to Vancouver in exchange for Jerome and Tyler Reinhart. What do you think of this trade and how do you think the Reinhart brothers will do in New York? 2) We are on the cusp of starting Season 83 with games starting next week. While we have drafted a couple solid players in the draft this offseason, and acquired a couple of high end players, we are still missing some essential pieces to be a complete team. How do you expect the team will compete in this upcoming season? 3) What goals do you have for your player this season either TPE-earning wise or statistically speaking? 4) In NHL broadcasts, you sometimes hear the commentators say the Stanley Cup is the hardest trophy to win in all of sports. Do you agree with this. If so, why? If not, what championship trophy do you think is the hardest to win? 5) Who is your pick to win the Continental Cup this year and why do you think they will win? Also what is your prediction for the final? (which two teams and in how many games will the series go) 6) What is your favourite jersey in all of sports? It can be a home, road, alternate, anything you want!

We are mere days away from the opening of the 83rd VHL Season, and it has a long and action-packed offseason which results in a lot of new faces in new places. Among them are Jerome and Tyler Reinhart, the brothers from Greenland who are two of the most decorated stars in the VHL in the current era. The Reinhart brothers were both drafted in the Season 79 VHL Entry Draft and wasted to no time making an impact in Vancouver. Together, they helped lead the Wolves to three straight Continental Cups. The New York Americans' brass are hoping to bring that winning tradition to The Big Apple. With their ability on the ice combined with their veteran leadership off the ice, the front office in New York is confident they will make a huge positive impact on the club. The brothers will look to mentor budding superstar Vasile Lamb, the New York Americans' first overall pick in last years draft. The season gets underway this coming week, so we will get to see the Reinhart brothers in action soon enough!

Asher Reinhart- D @NSG back to you!

CHICAGO PHOENIX SELECT SCOTTY SUNDIN FIRST OVERALL The highly anticipated Season 83 VHL Entry Draft took place in London, England at the O2 Arena last night, and as many pundits and prognosticators had suggested, the Chicago Phoenix selected the Swedish center Scotty Sundin with their first overall pick. Sundin comes from the Houston Bulls organization that was a dominant team in the VHLM last season, but ultimately fell short in game 7 of the Founder's Cup Finals in the playoffs. After putting up 129 points in the regular season, Sundin led all players in the playoffs with 31 points. While Sundin was the consensus number one pick in most hockey circles, there was a little speculation on whether Chicago GM would in fact take the Swedish phenom, or opt to draft goalie prospect Brandt Fuhr. Though Chicago passed on Fuhr, the young goalie wouldn't have to wait long to hear his name get called as Vancouver selected him with the very next pick as they look to begin rebuilding after a successful three-peat of the Continental Cup. Rounding out the top three was Igor Molotov, who went to the Malmo Nighthawks. Molotov led the VHLM in almost all offensive categories last season and the Nighthawks will sure be building around him for seasons to come. The only real surprise in the first round of the draft was when the New York Americans opted to trade down instead of taking a defenseman at pick 5. Instead they took a goalie at pick 10. Getting back to Chicago though, the Phoenix are finally starting to take shape after a rough season last year. The team is very clearly still in rebuild mode, but Sundin will be a great compliment to the other pieces already on the team. The most notable of these players are Board Game Clue On Skates (or Clue for short) and Bo Johansson, a pair of Season 82 draftees who both are ready to join Sundin and make the jump to the pro team this coming season. The team also has a surprisingly strong Dutch representation as both their starting goalie and top winger are from the Nederlands. Chicago seems to have its foundation for the future in place, now it will just be about adding some complimentary pieces to help bolster the lineup. Training camps just opened this weekend and all the young guns were present and seen taking skating drills and getting to know each other. There is still a bit of time until puck drop on the Season 83 season, but there is certainly a buzz flowing through the Windy City though in anticipation for the start of the season. This season will mark a new era in the VHL as many of the top teams are rebuilding and alot of players are changing the way they prepare for the season. It will be exciting to see what players emerge as league leaders. The Phoenix may not be a playoff team yet, but they certainly look poised to rise from the ashes of last season!
