For this week on my VHL.com Article I decided to take a look at every rosters and make a top 10 of my favorite names. Don't take it personally if your names is not on the list, my own player's name won't be there and also its all for fun.
10. Tee Pee E II @Goliathus
That name is pretty unusual and its a fun one
9. Chicken Wing @chikn
Thats a pretty funny name I have to say
8. Cowboy Prout @Prout
I like the sound of that name when you say it
7. Not A Player @Nope488
don't you dare telling him he is a player
6. Guy Sasakamoose @Cxsquared
its a pretty long name but it actually sounds good
5. Fat palloon @UnkemptCL4PTP
I keep reading Fat Balloon for some reason and I find it funny
4. Joe Exotic @Joe Exotic
Who would have thought that Joe Exotic actually liked hockey?
3. Jiggly Gumballs @JigglyGumballs
An other name that is very fun to say and for some reason I'd see Quagmire repeating it for a whole episode of family guy.
2. Wayne Jetski @namanert
that name became one of my favorites the first time I seen it, its awesome!
1. Zamboni Driver @Tape-to-Tape
That choice of name is just so great, especially for a goalie. Named after a legend of the 19-20 NHL season, I love it really much!
EDIT: I put the excel file I made on Google Drive. I'm going to put the link here and I left it open for comments, that way if you check it out and see anything wrong you can let me know right in the file! Please, feel free to use as needed. I'll be sure to keep updating it each week. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y_SBBZoGmIOunmwvukKelXq1ymaXwReF/view?usp=sharing

Goalies
Instead of providing awards to each team's goalies, since there are normally only two options per team, we are going to highlight one goalie per week who holds the lowest GAA (must play a majority of the team's games). The goalie with the lowest GAA for the week will be awarded the Brick Wall Award
Brick Wall Award - While this player's SV% isn't overly impressive, he has made sure to maintain a relatively low GAA of 2.46. This week's Brick Wall Award winner is Matthew A Sovick jr @matt sovick of the Las Vegas Aces! Congratulations!
League Overall
As you can see this has been an exciting first week of S75 in the VHLM! The Philadelphia Reapers have made themselves known around the league this week, putting themselves ahead of every team early on. Can they keep this forward momentum going and find themselves raising the Founders Cup at the end? As of right now it is way too early to tell, but we must keep an eye on them.
We are still waiting for the Ottawa Lynx to have something other that "0" in their W column. With an embarrassing 0-11-0 start to the season we can only imagine that tensions in the locker room is high, while morale is low.
