1. It’s a great start, but we need to keep working to be even better

 

2. I am doing better than i expected

 

3. I don’t know, but hopefully i will keep up this pace i have now

 

4. ofcourse

 

5. Missisauga haha (jk Quebec)

 

6. Grimgor 100%

1. We are doing alright, but there is always room for improvement.

2. Just spending time with my teammates

3. Nope, i havent got any offers 

4. I think everyrhing is alright and there is no change neccesary

5. None, just listening to my playlist 

6. Building a huge mansion in the middle of Missisauga 

As the plane that i was on landed at the Pearson International Airport, my heart was racing, i was so excited to meet everybody. It was a new page to my hockey career. As i stepped off the plane i felt a cool Canadien breeze, it was super weird, i have never felt this way since it is my first time in Canada. I was greeted by the GM at the airport.

As i drove trough the streets of Mississauga i knew that this is gonna be the best place to persuit my dreams. It seemed like the perfect placeplace for me.

 

The next day i drove to the rink dressed up my gear and laced my skates. I met 
all of my teammates and had my first practice. When i oppened the front  doors everybody greeted me, it was great, everyone was super polite. In Latvia i never had this, most people are  always grumpy and inpolite there. I like it betterhere.

 

When i stepped on the ice everyone gave me tips and encouraged me, at that moment i understood the Missisauga hockey community is as passioned and suporrtive as i hoped. It was akward at first, but everyone was talking to me, trying to get to know me so it wasnt that bad.

 

 

After practice i spent  some time exploring the city. It's very vibrant here. Each neighbourhood with its own unique charm. The cultural scene captivated me. I attended a concert, went to a restourant. And i made some friends already.

 

About the team. I havent done much research about history so i don't know much. All i know is i like the team colours, the staff, and ofcourse my teammates.

 

The time i will be spending here, i will do my best i promise. I will work on my goals and ofcourse the dream - the VHL I hope i can contribute and progress well too. But i guess we will see that in the future. 
Off the ice, i have devoted my self to physical conditioning. I have pushed my body to the limits these past few days, i have been sweating through intense workouts that build strenght, endurance. I have worked on my agility aswell since i like to skate quick and fight my way towards the net.
In addition i have started to work on my mental aspect, i will sharpen my mental game. I have engaged in sports psychology lessons, i am learning techniques to enhance focus, concentration, and reisilience in high pressure situations.

 

My favorite club growing up was Riga, it still is. After the Hounds of course haha. It would be nice to play there some day, it has been a big inspiration for me since it is my home country club.

Anyways i'm really looking forward for the first game of the season. I will work really hard in this last period of the offseason and hopefully it will pay off. Its been very different these past few days, but surely i am gonna get used to this and everythings gonna be alright.

Edit: Sorry for bad English. In some spots i used translate
 

1. I did not follow on the draft.

2. No i did not, i actually just signed to my new team.

3. I havent arrived to Mississauga yet, i am excited to meet everyone.

4. Its just my username everywhere.

5. I really like playing monopoly, its addicting

6. I probably would not change anything

Hey VHL @Members!

 

Anyone who has been around the VHL for awhile will surely know, or at least be vaguely aware, that July 18th, specifically July 18th, 2007, is the VHL's birthday! That means today marks the day that our community turns an incredible 14 years old. As an old fart that has been around since that day I can say that is stuns me every year when this post goes up that we're still going when you consider that leagues back in 2007 rarely made it to 3 years, let alone 14. As always though, we aren't just putting some gifs up and calling it a day, we aren't stupid. We know you clicked on this for the TPE and intend on delivering.

 

To commemorate the league's 14th birthday, we are giving all members a Triples Week, which adds 12 Uncapped TPE to any 6-TPE Point Task (Welfare/Pension/Affiliate PT are not included but as usual if your pay covers your PT that counts), as well as 2 Uncapped TPE. To claim these perks, which naturally add up to 14 Uncapped TPE, all you need to do is post in this thread and then link to that post in your update; that's it. We aren't even making you come up with a memory or anything this year, just a post.

 

 

Not only are we giving TPE away this year but we're also giving away some bonus items as well because really, what's a birthday without presents? Anyone who comments on this thread, thus getting the bonus mentioned above, will be entered into a draw that contains three copies of NHL 21 (for your console of choice) and an NHL Jersey of your choice. We'll have a live draw for these prizes sometime after the post closes in a week so stay tuned for that.

 

So, to summarize quickly, that's a max of 14 uncapped TPE just for commenting and 4 winners will receive some gifts curtesy of the VHL. All you have to do is post in here and you're good to go.

 

Notes:

• This thread will remain open until 11:59PM PST on Sunday, July 25th.

• Birthday perks may only be claimed on one player per member.

• Birthday perks must be claimed before the S79 Trade Deadline.

• If you win a copy of NHL 21 and own it already you may swap it for a game of equal or lesser value.

• No prizes can be exchanged for cash value or any form of digital currency (yes, that

Despite being the god of VHL graphics, I am also the shieldbearer for low-tier graphics and this is about as low-tier as they come. The literal only thing that saves this graphic and makes it approvable/acceptable is your included line of text which really pops the comedy factor off for this graphic.

 

I've always thought that even if a graphic is truly horrible on a technical level, if there is a bit of comedy to go along with it, the lack of graphic ability gets forgiven. In this case, "Wasn't lazy and did a graphic" juxtaposes so deliciously with this lazily-made graphic, that it made me laugh.

 

 

Looking at the raw aspects here, you would likely get criticized (and rightly so) by other VHL graders/reviewers, because the level of work here is laughable. We have a stock image WITH watermark in lower-left corner of original photographer Jess Starr left in.  The hounds logo looking massive, pasted over top of the jets logo with no skew/perspective transformation whatsoever, and 4 lines of very basic meme text.  That's it.  There's no lighting, there's no stocks, there's no effects.

 

 

I literally googled 'Jess Starr wheeler' and found the source graphic:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but it made me laugh, so hope you enjoyed your review for VHL graphics.
