  1. I'd love to apply, feel free to message me through discord or the forum!
  2. 1.) Good, glad to just relax and relive the Founders Cup winning experience 2.) Excited af, first chance in the VHL baby 3.) Irl: I fence and do track but I'd prob would do soccer if it was possible 4.) I think we'll win around 72.5% of our games 5.) I'll say this every year... yes 6.) Well you see... with nothing you have empty space however that empty space is space but it's nothing so it isn't space. Therefore it is just some bit of empty matter. But it's nothing so it isn't matter. So it doesn't exist, therefore it is impossible. But nothing is impossible according to every cliche adult. Therefore it is possible. Then with nothing you can make nothing exist, which is doing something because it is hard to get nothing and it is making the impossible possible. And with the impossible being possible you are doing something. So you can do anything with nothing.
  3. 1.) Pretty non-eventful. The WJC went alright, sad to not come back with a medal though. 2.) Just trying to remember to do tasks... hard to remember with everything irl going on (exams, track, robotics competitions... I can't keep track of it all) 3.) Defense probably, prob scoring too 4.) Chilling, hopefully. Gotta grind those tasks though. 5.) Whoever Sam and Josh think we should take... I trust them 6.) Gonna head home to Michigan. Maybe stay in the Motor City this time. Gotta catch my Lions playing a couple games.
  4. If we're going based on politics, then because of Brexit wouldn't anyone from the UK be Team World?
  5. 1.) How many goals I score 2.) I'll sum it up in one letter... W 3.) Alexander the Great 4.) I hope so, lots of turnover yearly in the VHLM 5.) Prob my friends 6.) Well... my mom was on a trip till 10pm Sunday but it we got her some gifts for when she came back Sunday night
  6. Deleted because I apparently claimed welfare earlier this week
  7. 1.) Well uh... bit late for that... anyways I think that we'd go six against Mississauga and five against Halifax next round. 2.) CUP OR BUST 3.) You already know it! 4.) Anyone we play must be neutralized. 5.) NO 6.) NO
  8. 1.) Just win out... rack up some confidence for the playoffs. 2.) Vegas 3.) Hlozek has been a beast 4.) My Stars are gonna go something (though idk if it's still possible for them to make the playoffs, haven't really checked) 5.) Track, easily. It'd be fencing but that is steaming hot during the summer. 6.) Thomas Greiss. As a Wings fan I love him and hate him at the same time.
  9. Thanks. Thankfully, only the fencing part is based on real life.
  10. STHS can be very random. No matter what you do for your lines something seems off. Once you have it, it doesn’t work for more than a week. Sadly there is no other option, so we’re kinda stuck with STHS. As we all know, only four attributes do much... scoring, defense, puck handling and skating. Imagine if all attributes mattered. What would builds look like them? There’d be no meta builds, in fact they’d vary quite a bit. Heck, I’d put TPE into lEaDeRsHiP. Since when does anyone do that? Think of the possibilities. Using discipline to stay out of the penalty box. First gen players wouldn’t have to just learn the meta and would go and build there known player. So much would change. Would people, aside from Tanky, put TPE in fighting to give your team a boost? That’d be great. So... if anyone knows how... make an alternative please.
  11. As we all know it's theme week. So it's time for an alternate reality. For this one we're starting back at Grand Rapids Christian, where Trevor Wallace attended high school... It happened all in an instant. One second I was skating on the rink, shooting at the goal. The next I couldn't move my fingers in my right hand. I didn't know what to do. I was one of the top hockey prospects in the state of Michigan, and I couldn't hold a fucking hockey stick. How was I supposed to play in the VHL? That'd been the dream all along of course. To one day be drafted in the VHLM, spend a year or two there, then graduate up to the pros in the VHL. Yet, no matter how hard I tried my fingers wouldn't budge. It was just me at the rink, just taking some time to work on my penalty shot, a part of my game that needed improvement. Or now I guess, now I have no game, without a right had that works. So, I did what any sane person does, I panicked. Thankfully, there was no significant pain. My nerves must be cut off too (thank you science class for actually teaching me something). I skated over to the door, used my left arm to push it open it and ran over to my phone. I immediately called my parents, using my left hand. It took forever using only one hand. I told them what was going on and they suggested I head to urgent care at the local Mercy Health. Maybe at another time I would've headed to Spectrum Health, but I'd had a bad experience there when I was four. It turns out that I'd somehow had my blood flow cut off and there was no way to get it back. This meant that I either have a limp hand, or I get amputated. I decided to do the latter. In the meantime, I needed to figure out a sport that only required no hands or one hand. I had been decently fast on the rink, but that was with skates so I really didn't feel like track was my thing. However, I'd heard from a friend that fencing would really only require one hand, so I decided that was gonna be my thing. I had the athleticism and I'd been a good enough student that the mental part didn't seem like it'd bug me. And heck, who the didn't like stabbing someone with swords, sign me up! So, I signed up for a fencing class at Grand Rapids Advanced Fencing Academy (GRAFA). I had a few fencing clubs as they call them, to choose from in the area. I could drive over an hour daily to go to Bay Regional Fencing Academy, or head on over to the other one by my high school, West Michigan Fencing Academy. In the end though, I decided to choose GRAFA because they seemed the most intense, and were run by Russians which stereotypically, I know, reminded me a bit of hockey, since we all know that's a big sport there. The first class was... different from any sport I'd known. We had to do everything in this weird half sitting position with my one good arm bent at the elbow and extended a little bit with my other arm just sitting there behind me. My feet were perpendicular to one another and spread out while my knees were bent. if that sounds confusing, good, because I had no clue what I was doing. Apparently fencing has three weapons that you can fence. Foil, which you start out with, sabre, where everything above the waist is the target and you slash people in a sense, and epee where the whole body is the target. I really wanted to fence foil for some reason. Thankfully, that's what you start out with. As the weeks progressed I learned a lot. I'd started dominating bouts (the fencing equivalents of matches) in the beginner class. I guess I'm a fast learner. My main attack was a simple feint and disengage. Which is where you extend your blade without actually intending to hit your opponent and when they try to parry (block) your blade you go around their weapon and extend fully to get the point. The only problem I had was hesitating a bit. You see, in the foil and sabre weapons there is this thing called right of way. You almost always need it to score. Whoever is attacking has right of way, so at the start if you take an advance (step) forward before your opponent you gain right of way, however it is very easy to lose. You step backwards? You lose it. Hesitate and your opponent advances? You lose it. Your opponent parries your blade? You better be ready to retreat or parry their blade, because you won't have right of way anymore. Of course, it's possible to score without right of way, however your opponent must not hit you whatsoever because right of way is what determines a touch when two people hit each other at the same time (which happens a lot, surprisingly). And yes, if they hit you off target (anywhere outside of the torso in foil) and you hit them on their torso, nobody gets a point. That was confusing to me in the first week, but I learned it pretty quickly. Anyways, I was ready to go to the advanced class. Once I was in the advanced class, I struggled. In fact, my parents decided to get me some private one hour classes with the coach which helped a lot. I had to learn to stop with the parry disengage so often because everyone in this class could easily defend it with a circle six parry (in which you make a counterclockwise circle with your blade to parry your opponent's blade). So, I had to diversify what I was doing, I now really saw why they called it mental chess. I based most of my strategy and style around infighting (fencing from a very close distance to your opponent, usually within a foot), which I found myself to be surprisingly good at. It took me a few months, but I started competing, and winning. After all, I was quite in shape from hockey and was able to be agile along the fencing strip (the fencing equivalent of a field or rink). Then came my first tournament... or so I thought. In my first bout I tore my ACL and then my time frame was up. My prime as a fencer was going to be wasted. So yeah, that's Trevor Wallace as a fencer. --- 1122 Words
  12. 1.) Playing with the lines worked, thankfully. 2.) Alexander The Great has came in and made us all forget that we lost Phoenix Dawson 3.) Yes (and sweep them) 4.) The connections. Everyone in Miami has been amazing so far. 5.) Yes, The Amazing Race 6.) A rocky coastline (long story, that I don’t feel like getting into)
  13. Please tell me yesterday's sim wasn't a fluke...

  14. I know I'm a first gen player, but I'm definitely interested in the position
  15. 1) Hell yeah. The new lines are amazing and we will go all the way! 2.) All the way 3.) The people in the lockers are amazing and are great people. 4.) I think we can contend, though another piece would push us over the top. In the end I fully trust Tina and Rockstar. 5.) Beach, if I can read that is. 6.) Cucumber
  16. Miami. We were down, we were bruised, we were losing. We couldn't win. We just sucked. But guess what, we've found a way to win and keep games close. A change in lines and more work helped us start winning. We've turned things around thanks to the huge help of Tina and Rockstar changing up the lines. Personally, I'm not sure what's happened to my player, Trevor Wallace. I was decently ahead in terms of points being ahead of games played, but I've fallen one point behind. I guess I'll slowly get better though. We are getting better though, and as a team, that is what matters. As a first-gen player, I'm slowly but surely figuring out what stats are helping my player. That's what this season is all about and what it'll continue to be about, improvement. And I'm glad that I slowly am improving. That really is what matters. I can guarantee that Miami will go on to win it all, I just hope I can make a big contribution to the effort to raise the cup at the end of the season. --- 185 Words
  17. 1.) Eh, STHS just gonna be that way sometimes. 2.) Yes, and win it all. 3.) I need to get more shots, improve puck handling and skating a bit. 4.) Russel Dixon, but the entire team in general. 5.) I hate bananas, but actually like banana bread. 6.) Oh crap... I actually don't think I have one
