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.
