Napoleon Dynamite Prospect Scouting Report There really isn't much that is known about the up-in-coming star Napoleon Dynamite. What we do know, on a personal level, is that he's a young kid who was bullied a lot in high school, he often exaggerates his stories, and he doesn't have many friends. However, when it comes to the world of hockey, we know quite a bit. After sharing some interest in coming to the VHL as a whole, the VHLM Saskatoon Wild expressed great interest in the young center and added him to their roster. Dynamite became a Wild player near the end of the season, only playing 14 games during the regular season. During those 14 games, Dynamite didn't really show much promise, only securing 2 points for the entire time. He was a decent lower-tier player, but not incredibly essential. However, the playoffs changed it all. During the S82 playoff run for the Saskatoon Wild, Dynamite played 5 more games than he did in the regular season. In these 19 playoff games, Dynamite had 6 goals and 11 points, blocked 10 shots, and had 3 game-winning goals. Where his light shined the brightest though was during Game 7 against the Houston Bulls. In this incredibly important game, Dynamite proved his worth by securing a natural hat-trick, allowing the Wild to capture the cup. It became quickly evident that Dynamite was of a new breed of young hockey players. His success in the VHLM has allowed him to do something that has mostly been unseen, skip the VHLM draft. Dynamite, who has recently signed a Free Agent contract with the Bratislava Watchmen of the VHLE, will not play any more games in the VHLM, and is looking to grow quickly in the VHLE. S83 will be an incredibly important one for Dynamite. It's in this time that he will need to show off his skills and raise his worth if he hopes to be selected in the first round of the S84 draft for the VHL. If Napoleon hopes to succeed in this new level of competition he's going to have to lean into his strengths and work on his weaknesses. Strengths Dynamite seems to be a natural goal scorer who works well under pressure. He's a strong center who is capable of winning a majority of the face-offs he takes, and he doesn't allow others to push him around while he's threading the puck through defensemen in the offensive zone. Weaknesses Dynamite has two things that are working against him. The first being his speed. This will be a crucial piece of his overall game if he wishes to do well this season. On top of that, Dynamite has a bit of an explosive personality, often taking unnecessary penalties and letting the heat of the moment get to him. Bratislava management is hopeful that some anger management courses will help him out.

After a rather exciting year in the VHLM, Napoleon Dynamite was given the news that he was eligible for free agency in the VHLE! Now, he isn't quite draft eligible yet, but with Dynamite growing in skill and popularity VHLE teams were quick to reach out and offer positions on their rosters for the season. Dynamite received offers from nearly every VHLE team and even went on to interview with a few of the general managers. A few of the teams offered Dynamite a bit of ice-time and some focused development training, while others had more of a need for centers of Dynamite's caliber. Of all the teams that reached out to Dynamit, the Bratislava Watchmen proved to be the organization that caught Dynamite's eye the most. Under the confident leadership of @FrostBeard, Dynamite has made it known that he thinks this could be a great season for him in the VHLE. He believes that another cup is soon to be in his future. His end goal is to bump his draft stock up even more for next year's draft. With his career taking off as quickly as it has during these last few months, many around the world are eager to see what happens throughout the career of the young Napoleon Dynamite.

1. I honestly don't have a dream car. 2. I'm now learning that there are A LOT of sim leagues. I'd say it would be cool to get a Zombie Apocalypse/Survival sim league lol 3. The Pittsburgh Penguins, of course. QUESTIONS: 1. What are your thoughts on the Hybrid Attributes? 2. When you are bored, what's the first thing you typically think to do? 3. If you could do any job in the world, but would make $0, what would it be and why?

Stockholm has made a free agent contract offer.

Best line ever

That's how he gets the hot air balloon to fly, by yelling.

I really have no business making graphics. This week is busy for me so I'm trying to get things done early on and my computer with actual photo editing programs is at the office, so here's the best I could do given the tools I currently have.

Napoleon Dynamite is up to some new antics now that the regular season is over. His daily practice sessions are growing in intensity, but the new VHLM player who holds a championship is looking to have a little bit of fun. At this last practice session, it was reported that Dynamite practiced the entire time while skating backward, and with only one skate on! It was an incredible sight that had everyone awestruck. The make things even better, Dynamite had been spending a lot of time working on the Michigan goal, that goal that makes the old and slow veterans cringe and cross-check people. Well, not only did he perfect the move while skating normally, he is now capable of doing it while skating backward and with only one skate on. Of course, this impressed everyone there, even his fans. The only person who was not impressed was his personal trainer, who simply asked that Napoleon would work on his defensive skills a little bit. Hopefully, after this session, Dynamite will put the antics to the side and step into some serious hockey business. With the draft coming up he will need to be in tip-top shape to ensure that he goes early on.

This will be the last ride for Thadius Sales. Let’s send him out in full glory!

I shall turn the other cheek here. #ilystill

Dynamite is of course going to go hunt some wolverines with a freakin' 12-gauge. Well, due to league-wide policy changes, Dynamite is going to work on everything in his game, including passing! It was an amazing team chemistry that helped us out. Especially between Dynamite and @InstantRockstar in net. How wild things get! I would say it would have to be New Zealand. Dynamite is looking forward to being drafted and hopefully being one of the most impactful centers in VHLM history!

The seasons for the VHLM, the VHLE, and the VHL have all come and gone now. As the leagues start to shift their focus into the realm of S83, a few players are still celebrating a hard fought S82 season and post-season. Members of the Saskatoon Wild (VHLM), the Rome Gladiators (VHLE), and the Vancouver Wolves (VHL) are all riding the high of victory. But, as they celebrate, the league looks ahead. Given some recent controversies around the leagues regarding training protocols, there has been an adjustment for all three leagues. For a considerable amount of time, teams were working hard at finding trainers who were elite goal scorers. They passed down their knowledge to many, but the consequence of that was a large number of players who could score goals, but never passed and could hardly skate. Among many other deficiencies at the hands of this training focus, the Board of Governors who oversee the entirety of the VHLM, VHLE, and VHL decided to implement a new rule. This new rule states that teams must not only hire 1 trainer, but trainers for every main part of the game. This way, players have more variety to their game, making the game of hockey not only more fun to play, but more fun to watch. Feeling the effects of that change is one of the champions from the Saskatoon Wild, Napoleon Dynamite. Throughout the playoffs and regular season, there wasn’t much to be impressed about regarding Dynamite. Sure, he could shoot and rocket in some nasty goals, but that was about it. His skating was average, his defense was okay, but his hitting, discipline, and even overall awareness was lacking. Despite that, he earned his first career hat trick in Game 7 against the Houston Bulls. But, with this new rule change in place, Dynamite is going to forced to approach his training very differently. “You know, I was freakin’ irritated at first. I thought, ‘this league is filled with a bunch of IDIOTS! Gosh!’ But, then I started to see what these freakin’ idiots were talking about and it started to make sense. While my time is up with the Wild, I did see them starting to pull in new trainers who were eager to teach the players what to do. Right now, as I wait for this freakin’ draft to hurry up and get here, I don’t have anyone helping me train. Luckily for me, a lot of the people from my home time are willing to help me learn more. I know my hunting wolverines with a freaking 12-gauge will really help me out. I’m just ready for the draft.” On the ice, following his championship victory, Dynamite has been seen putting in even more hours. Instead of constant shooting drills, Dynamite has been working on his skating, face off ability, his toughness, and even some more passing drills. While his shooting is still something to be envied by many other players, this change in league policy is already starting to prove helpful to Dynamite. Hopefully, for Dynamite’s sake, this will help with his appeal come draft time. --- 521 words, claiming week ending 3 April 2022
