Malmo on the rise, don't sleep FA's 

Hmm what if we found a Virtual communication platform where we could message in real time that also included an area where we could see and hear each other? And we could make an official league platform but then smaller teams could also make their own platforms where only their team could meet up. Hmm. Nah too complicated. Omegle it is. 

There's pretty sizable crop of upcoming free agents this off season who could all make huge contributions to a number of different teams in the seasons to come. Among those include the Warsaw duo who led the predators to there first ever continental cup this season as well as former top scorer Andrew Su. Below I'm going to outline the most interesting players heading into free agency and where I think they could end up.
 
Dakota Lamb
This will not be the first time Dakota has tested free agency as he had done so once before in his career where he made the decision to stay with Warsaw. He has been the cornerstone piece for this franchise ever since bursting on to the scene winning ROTY with 90 points. His production since then has been consistent scoring at a point per game and over for the entirety of his career since tallying a total of 439 points and 360 games which could make him a great hall of fame candidate. Whether he stays or goes will I think depend on whether he gets hired for Warsaw GM, Which I think we can all agree is probably going to happen.
With that said I believe Lamb will sign with.
Aloe Dear
After signing a two season extension with the Predators the last time Dear was available the now VHL leading scorer will look for a potential pay raise after a dominant season. After having so much success with Warsaw the past two season putting up more than 100 points in both I would doubt Dear would want to leave unless there's a desire for a new challenge following a switch in GM's. As for possible destinations HC Davos has a lot of room to sign new players if Aloe Dear is interested in finishing last. As for other teams it's hard to tell so im gonna guess again that Aloe Dear will stay with the
 
Andrew Su
Andrew Sus is a really interesting player as he is coming off of a bit of a down year with Calgary after dominating the league with Vancouver in seasons prior. Su has one season left before hanging up the skates and calling it a career meaning he should want to finish with a bang after what he's done so far. His 625 points in 504 games are the highest among his draft class and he'll want to make sure it stays that way for his final season to solidify his status as a hall of famer. As for places he could end up Vancouver is an option that could entice him since he experienced the most success over there, they also have the cap space which is slightly important. Davos and New York will also have the cap space to make the move however Su's history with the wolves makes me believe that he will make a return to

LETS GOOO!!!!! Honoured to be named the captain of this team!  Solid group for sure.

This year, Team Canada looks to reemerge as a force at the World Junior Championship.  As the GM this season I have decided to put as much thought into the meaning behind the logo and jerseys worn as I have been putting into rounding out our roster.  The objective here was to preserve the patriotism of wearing the flag, along with bringing some much needed awareness and light to the reality of the country's history.  Our players uniforms at this years tournament aim to symbolize solidarity with Indigenous communities and encourage people to learn the history of Indigenous people and the legacy and truths of the residential schools in Canada, all while building intercultural understanding, empathy and mutual respect as a nation.  Without further adieu, here is this years Team Canada WJC logo:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Yes, we're dawning orange instead of red this year.  We are happy to have gotten Nike on board again this season to design us some brand new looks sporting the new logo, here is the result:
 
 
Hope you all enjoy the uniforms and support the decisions made.  Roster announcement coming soon! Keep 'em peeled. 👀

Congrats Warsaw, very well deserved!

Big win, couldn't ask for a better way to send off my tenure with Warsaw (duh). ggs to Seattle
 
To everyone that contributed to this franchise's history during my time running the team, big or small, thank you. To the players that have been here for a long time, that have battled for this team and been patient through some tough exits, this is the culmination of those efforts. And of course I can't forget to mention @dasboot who spent a long time as a great player and AGM for the team (definitely a much better AGM than @New Member Guide), your name goes on this one too bud.

ALERT. ALERT. ALERT.
 
@dlamb HAS SECURED A CUP. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
 

Hello there…. I’m Darth Kaprizov Sr., I’m glad you could join us.

The S78 WJC's are right around the corner.  With that being said, the excitement around this years squad is thru the roof.  A few things, I’d like you to think about before we begin:  For the fans, maybe you’ve rooted for other countries in the past, IF you will not root for TEAM WORLD this time, perhaps your sister will.  For our opposition, with the offensive talent on TEAM WORLD, it would be unwise for you to lower defenses at any point during the games.  In conclusion, for anyone unaware, you simply don’t know the power of TEAM WORLD!
 
As the S78 WJC GM for TEAM WORLD, I am more than honored to announce this seasons roster, or as I like to call it, the Stud Farm.  Let me begin by introducing:
 
From hockey hotbed, Greenland comes a young man who has been lightning in a bottle during his first Jr. Season averaging over 1pt per game during S78, please welcome:  LW – Jerome Reinhart  @MexicanCow123
From down unda where this winger would run thru the Outback with his skates on to use as a weapon against all of the crazy lizards chasing after him.  By doing so, he developed a savvy set of skills which helped propel him into the top 10 for total points this past season.  Be Aware of;  LW – Craig Martin  @Craig
From Nigeria, coming in at 6’8” and 250lbs, this mega man child plays a power forward game like no other as he puts fear into defensemen when he’s steaking down the ice on a forecheck;  LW – Kid Frost  @TownBizness
From North Macedonia comes a small center at 5’5” but is lightning fast with hands that match and can snipe a bumble bee out of mid air;  C – Alexander the Great  @Shiny
From Saint Helena is a quickly rising star with only one Jr. season under his belt has shown poise in the face off circle and has a nice scoring touch, fist bumps to;  C – Omi Aberg  @osens
From the jungles of Congo comes a gritty, high scoring prospect averaging nearly 1pt per game over 1.5 seasons in Jr’s (score goals or you will be grounded son);  C – Darth Kaprizov Jr.  @Darth Kaprizov Sr.
Another Greenland product, a point generating machine in S78, tallying 133 in the regular season and topped all scoring in the playoffs while leading the Yukon Rush to the VHLM Championship this season. Introducing the notorious;  RW – Tyler Reinhart  @Zetterberg
By way of Canada comes a positionally sound, fast skating forward with some tasty salad, give it up for the Big Red Machine;  RW – Mikey Markov  @JetsFan81
By way of USA comes a high scoring, tough S.O.B. who likes to mix it up in the corners while punishing his opponents, high fives to;  RW – Gary Tarantino II  @Garrett
From the beautiful islands of Fiji comes a stud defenseman who tallied 40 pts in his rookie VHL campaign and punched in another 7pts in 10 playoff games.  Expectations are high for this electrifying player, give it up for;  DEF – Tui Sova  @v.2
From the US Minor Outlying Islands, a stingy, gritty, hard hitting positionally sound blue liner.  DEF – Shaggy Tipton  @TheTiptonKing
From the tantalizing shores of Belize where Warsaw got a steal in the draft with this smooth skating, offensive minded blue liner as he looks to create instant offense with his heady passing.  How about a chest bump for;  DEF – Tynan Sylvester  @diamond_ace
Another product of Australia, plays defense like a wet blanket, you can’t get him off of you and if you're getting close, he’ll run you right thru the boards, give this guy a big slap on the back when welcoming;  DEF – Zeljko Ranogajec  @ColeMrtz
From the Marshall Islands is an overwhelmingly large human at 6’8” 245lbs filling up the 4x6 opening in front of the net, he carried the load for SSK this past season and will show the world he’s ready to play at the next level;  TENDY – Leroy Johnson @Vkobe-v
Rounding out this years WORLD roster is another kid from Greenland, he likes to flash the leather and paddle pucks away while frustrating the opposition with his flashy, brick wall play;  TENDY – Tobias Reinhart  @Spaz
 
The Captaincy for this years squad will come from none other than Tui Sova
 
Congrats to all of the players and fans – We have high expectations heading into the tournament.

Oh Canada! Great job Terry!
 
Edit: Special thanks to Nike as well

This year, Team Canada looks to reemerge as a force at the World Junior Championship.  As the GM this season I have decided to put as much thought into the meaning behind the logo and jerseys worn as I have been putting into rounding out our roster.  The objective here was to preserve the patriotism of wearing the flag, along with bringing some much needed awareness and light to the reality of the country's history.  Our players uniforms at this years tournament aim to symbolize solidarity with Indigenous communities and encourage people to learn the history of Indigenous people and the legacy and truths of the residential schools in Canada, all while building intercultural understanding, empathy and mutual respect as a nation.  Without further adieu, here is this years Team Canada WJC logo:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Yes, we're dawning orange instead of red this year.  We are happy to have gotten Nike on board again this season to design us some brand new looks sporting the new logo, here is the result:
 
 
Hope you all enjoy the uniforms and support the decisions made.  Roster announcement coming soon! Keep 'em peeled. 👀

Somehow the battle of Germany and Sweden lives in the E. Makes sense for Rome to get the cut in favor or Brat from a votes perspective. 
 
It's kinda wild the bigs only has 3 Canadian teams looking just broadly at our overall team representation now across three leagues.

Good day fellow VHLers, future VHLErs, residents of the #hype channel, and everyone else. First of all, thank you to everyone who has voted in the 3 VHLE team polls over the past month or so, everyone who has contributed to the discussions and suggestions around team logos and concepts, and just generally those who have helped make the slow unveiling of the VHLE a very exciting event to be part of.
 
A special thank you as well to those who helped out with logo making, especially of course @KaleebtheMighty and @Zetterberg - we may be needing your services again in the near future!
 
We had 199 members vote in the final poll, hopefully all for 3 or fewer teams, and we got some interesting results, some expected, some less so. I can reveal that for the most part, we will be able to satisfy the majority of the population.
 
@Acydburn and I sat down, considered previous BOG discussions and the results of the vote, and have decided to start the VHLE in S80 with the following 6 franchises. Note that I am not including the logos here as these will be finalised at a later date. I expect most will look like the versions in the final poll linked above, but with some final tweaks and maybe even a different direction will be taken for one or two. It should also be said that these are just the original 6 franchises - there is a very real possibility that the VHLE will one day grow from its starting points and if your favourite team missed out, it might still make an appearance in the future.
 
Without further ado then, the 6 founding VHLE franchises will be:
 
The Berlin Steel
The Bratislava Watchmen
The Cologne Express
The Paris Revolution
The Stockholm Vikings
and of course the Vasteras Iron Eagles
 
Final logos will most likely be revealed along with the GM appointments. As for that exciting next stage of the process, look out for the VHLE GM application thread opening up very soon.
