From first gen to now - a story of approximately a decade
So to stick with the theme week subject, let’s do a vhl.com about me. I have joined sim leagues around june 2012, and while i do not remember when i actually joined the vhl with my first gen player, I do know how I ended up here. I probably have told this before, but here we go.
At the time I was heavily invested in dynasty hockey leagues on yahoo, i was in so many that I actually needed multiple yahoo accounts as I was past their limit (i believe it was 8 per account back then). But when I was browsing the hockeys future boards, I notice a recruitment post of the vhl.
I took a look and was like ‘nope, not for me, this looks way to elitist’ and I moved on. Not shortly after I joined the SHL instead which looked more newbee friendly. So while I was playing in the SHL, I got a message from Corcoran, who tried to get me to join the VHL. I ended up giving it a shot, and the rest is history.
Despite having short periods of inactivity (during project player two i burned out from too much writing for all the different sim leagues, and my graphics weren't good enough so i would not be able to score max points on them) I am still here ongoing and strong, i probably am the member with most cup wins since season 30 (and be fair the first 29 seasons dont count as I was not here ) but still standing and going strong, despite being older then most of the new people here, I still enjoy my time spent.
To all first gens, I hope you find as much joy in this as i have had.
