      VHLM GM twice then, if he was with Yukon. He immediately followed me in Ottawa

  3. 2) First off it's spelled favorite your British/Canadian monster. Secondly, I had no idea what any hockey brands were until I went to the google. I prefer CCM and Easton I guess because they are both in NHL 19 and older games. 3) I was the GM of the Calgary Wranglers for many seasons during the S40s and 50s, so my heart lies there. Riga was also my first time so I like them. Outside of hating New York and never wanting to play for them, I don't have a ton of other preferences right now. I've always liked @Beaviss and have barely ever played for Quebec, so I think that would be fun 4) My favorite part of the VHL is the community. I've been here 7 years (very scary) and have had a lot of virtual interactions with some of these people. A lot of y'all are crazy, but crazy is fun and interesting. Also was cool to meet up with @Victor in London.
  4. I'm just hoping the tweet was auto-corrected to the wrong name. Both are likely fired soon though
  5. I guess when Ottawa and Oslo play it's technically a win-win for me
  6. Requirements: - Must be a minimum of 500 words, written by yourself. Try not to drag on and make sure your work is creative and appealing without much dull repetition week to week.- Do your best with spelling and punctuation, they are important aspects to enhance professionalism and simply make for a better read.- Make it look professional as well. At the very minimum, make use of a title, a picture, and proper paragraphing to make for a nicer article.
  7. Saskatoon Ottawa Saskatoon Yukon
  8. Saskatoon 3-2
  9. @Beketov @Will I was unaware that a media spot this week about brands counts as double, and already wrote mine. Can I write about brands next week instead for doubles? Thanks bebs

  10. Pass by Jaroslav Zimmer intercepted by Jason S in neutral zone. Pass to Gregor Rasputinov in Oslo Storm zone. Pass to Gritty. Shot by Gritty. Goal by Gritty - Ottawa Lynx : 2 - Oslo Storm : 0 Gritty's first ever point and first ever goal!

  17. I like the blue team signing things now that's cute
  18. With my current player.
  19. Motivation Over the past year or so, @Fire Hakstol has been constantly asking me why I don't update my player. The truth was, I had no motivation to do so. I know doing welfare and updating takes maybe 20 minutes a week, but if I don't care to check the game threads to see how my player or team is doing, what is the point? I haven't followed the VHL much at all over the past 10 seasons, and have no idea who has been good over the past few seasons, other than knowing that Calgary finally broke its cup drought. The league went through a rough patch over the past 2 years, with every member of blue team taking turns disappearing for 3 months, the removal of the stupid 2 player system, and the VHL shifting from 10 to 8 teams, in a clear sign of a downward slope. The league was so inactive at one point that I held on for seasons as Calgary's GM openly looking to step down, only to be temporarily replaced by Kesler before taking reigns of the team again after being pissed at Kesler's stupid trades that crippled the franchise. On top of that, I felt as though there was nothing exciting going on in the league, and figured why should I bother to continue putting effort into a dying fake hockey league. I am happy to see that the VHL is once again on the upswing, thanks to some great moves made by the league's leadership. I haven't been following things too closely and I am probably missing a lot of important contributors. @Will and anyone else who helped have done an outstanding job modernizing the VHL with the league portal, as updates are so much less of a pain than before, and doing everything else like signing contracts and trades on the portal helps expedite all league moves and puts less of a burden on the commissioners. Additionally, the league desperately needed some new members to step up with many of the old guard hanging on for years, and @Beaviss has gotten the job done with some outstanding recruitment drives on reddit along with being a great VHLM commish, so hats off to him as well. Like I said, I am probably missing many other key contributors, but I am happy to see the league has a ton of active new members, with drafts being historically deep and changing the entire GM game from how it was for me 20 to 30 seasons ago. There is once again competition and excitement to be a VHLM or VHL GM, rather than a lack of candidates like before, which is great to see. I used to be that guy, as in someone who was super active and helped the VHL grow. I was a very active VHLM commish for 2 years and implemented a lot of new changes to help league activity. I was also one of the most active VHLM and VHL GMs for a number of years, creating some really fun teams to play on in Yukon and Calgary. I also was a member of the Board of Governors, and did lots of little things to help the league grow, like creating the new member guide, and organizing ads for the VHL on reddit, twitter, and elsewhere. I hope I get the motivation back to turn into that guy again, because it was a lot of fun, and I hope I was a helpful cog in the league's growth. P.S. @diamond_ace was the only @VHLM GM to give me a contract offer, so I now have motivation to make the rest of you pay come playoff time.
  20. 1) Nobody nose where it is. I think it helps Gritty look better and more creepy not having a nose. Plus he doesn't have to smell the shit the flyers have in their pants most games. 2) S65. Realistically, what's going to happen is I move up the the VHL at the expected time in my draft year. If my player isn't productive enough to make the VHL at that point, then I have probably lost the motivation to care about him and keep updating, thus resulting in another scrub player. So it looks like it would be S65 or bust. 3) I'm torn on this one. On one hand, I like the Ottawa Ice Dogs Lynx because they were my first ever VHLM team, and @diamond_ace is one of my favorite members here. On the other hand, I had some of my most fun on this site as GM of the Yukon Rush, winning back to back cups and coining the phrase, "Yukon 2 gud" that still lives on to this day.
  21. Funny you say that since my player build is Sean Couterier's height and weight @Fire Hakstol
