Baby Boomer

Wow, what a great tribute to Bobby Bob!! It was truly an honor to be part of this team for all these seasons and to have such great teammates and players in the locker room. I will definitly always remember my time in Toronto and I hope to see you all again in the VHL!!

Thanks to the Legion's organization for everything they have done for me, the last 8 season were incredible!!

Welcome everyone, My name is Toby Bob, and you probably already know my dad and uncle, Baby Bob and Bobby Bob who both had great careers in the VHLM, the VHLE and the VHL. I wanted to present myself a little bit before I finally joined a team in the VHLM and eventually get drafted in both leagues. Like I said, you already know my dad and my uncle, but I wanted to talk a little bit about me, my youth and maybe my goals at short and long terms. So hi, like I said before my name is Toby Bob and I am a goalie. Unlike, Baby and Bobby I am quite tall. Indeed, I am 6’8” and I weight 250 pounds now. A lot of people are asking me how I can be that tall if my parents are pretty small and I honestly don’t really know the answer, but I think that my mom told me that somewhere in her family there were tall men, so I guess that’s how. My father was a forward and my uncle an offensive defenseman, but since I was a little boy, I knew that I wanted to be a goalie. When we were playing mini-hockey I was always the goalie, and everybody knew that there was no debate. I traveled a lot when I was young, because my father traveled a lot. Indeed, I was born the same year my Baby Bob played his first season in the VHLM with the Mississauga Hounds. He played only two seasons with the Hounds before going to Rome to play for the Gladiators in the VHLE for one season. I was still very young, so I don’t really remember my time in Rome. However, I have some vague memories of the three years my dad played for the Prague Phantoms in the VHL. I remember that I was a little bit sad when I understood that we were leaving Prague to go to Chicago, but my mom told me that it was for the best. Baby finished his career with the Phoenix in Chicago, and I clearly remember that I really liked it there. After that, we came back to Quebec, and we lived there for the rest of my youth. I played a lot of hockey for a lot of different teams when I was younger and I think it gives me an advantage on the other goalies, because I experienced many different styles of hockey. I played in Rome, I played in Prague, I played in Chicago, and I played in Quebec. I said earlier that I was going to talk about myself, so here it is, I am going to do a list of my qualities and the things I think I should improve. For my qualities on ice to start, I am tall which always helps. I am really good at reading the game and what is going on in front of me. My positioning is often on point, so there is not a lot of open spots for the opponents to shoot the pucks in the net. Finally, my hand with the glove is the corner I am the most comfortable with. On the other hand, I know I have some things that I need to work on to be ready for the big leagues. I have some difficulties with my movements, as you know I am a big guy, so that makes me a bit slow, but I know that I must work on that. I also have some problems with my stick and the hole between my pads. Now, for my personal qualities, I would say that I am pretty much always happy, I have a good leadership, and I always want to learn more to get better. However, I could say that I have a big character and that sometimes it gets me in arguments that I could have avoided. Finally, I would like to talk about my goals and what I hope to accomplish in the big leagues. Obviously, I would like to start by getting drafted in the VHLM and in the VHL. The rank does not really matter as long as I get drafted, but I won’t lie, and I will say that it would be nice to hear my name in the 1st round. After, for my personal stats, the personal awards and the personal recognitions, I am not too worried about that. Of course, I would be really happy if I win some, but it won’t be my main focus. Indeed, my main focus would be to win a championship. Indeed, nothing would make me happier than winning the Cup in the VHLM and in the VHL. I will finish this little text by saying that I don’t have any preference regarding the teams I play for. Indeed, I just want to be a part of a fun and active locker room. Thank you! Toby Bob

@ucyXpher Welcome everyone, The trade deadline is next week and once again we currently have a really interesting season in the VHLM in S96. The race for the first place is going to be really fun to follow until the end of the season and the last playoff spots are going to be hardly fought until the last game of the season. In this article, we are going to look at each team's start to the season and we are going to say if they are buyers or sellers. If they are buyers, we are going to do a little list of players they could trade for and if they are sellers, we are going to do a list of players they could trade. #1 Philadelphia Reapers Pre-season rank: 2nd As expected the Philadelphia Reapers are having a really good season and are currently leading the VHLM with 70 points. There is not a lot I can say about this team except that they are a really balanced team and that they don't really have any real weakness. Indeed, with Taylor Swift @lilchrist and Youre Not Fucking Retiring @twists leading the offense and Einar Mathiesen @xsjack leading the defense, the only thing they could improve is their depth forwards and defensemen. Situation: Buyer Players to acquire: LW - Jean-Pierre Devote @eagle_3450 RW - Marek Nowaczyk @Chillybro LW - Kevin OConnor @Luke033 C - Mad Villain @Tate RW - Drosmis Sarkanis @Mr Bohannan G - Jon Webber III @Webberj G - Deadpanda @Alex #2 Ottawa Lynx Pre-season rank: 1st Just like the Reapers, the Ottawa Lynx are doing really good since the beginning of the season as they are currently second in the standings with 61 points in 48 games. The Lynx also have are really balanced team with Brandon Petan Jr @sadie and Ocean Codoller @FreshOceanCod in offense and River Harrington @kirbithan in defense. Ottawa could however improve their depth forwards to hope to catch Philadelphia and finish first of the league. Situation: Buyer Players to acquire: LW - Jean-Pierre Devote @eagle_3450 RW - Marek Nowaczyk @Chillybro LW - Kevin OConnor @Luke033 C - Mad Villain @Tate RW - Drosmis Sarkanis @Mr Bohannan G - Jon Webber III @Webberj G - Deadpanda @Alex #3 Miami Marauders Pre-season rank: 6th The Miami Marauders are without doubt one of the biggest surprises of the regular season in S96. Indeed, they are currently ranked 3rd in the entire league with a total of 58 points. When you look at the stats, Miami is one of the best team offensively thanks to Anthony Simmons II @Starchychaff, but also one of the worst team defensively, so the Marauders are clearly going to be buyers and they will maybe look to improve their defense. Situation: Buyer Players to acquire: LW - Jean-Pierre Devote @eagle_3450 RW - Marek Nowaczyk @Chillybro LW - Kevin OConnor @Luke033 C - Mad Villain @Tate RW - Drosmis Sarkanis @Mr Bohannan D - Scrungle Bungle @Novanod #4 Mississauga Hounds Pre-season rank: 3rd Once again, we have a team who is as expected doing pretty good this season. Indeed, the Mississauga Hounds are currently fourth in the league with 57 points in 48 games. The Hounds are a similar team to the Reapers and the Lynx as they are pretty well balanced. Filip Zinek @FiZi and Nikita Yolishev @Joel Main are doing the job by scoring goals and Slava Kovalenko @OblivionWalker is doing the job in defense, but personnaly, I think that if the Hounds want to win the Founder's Cup they have to improve their defense a little bit. Situation: Buyer Players to acquire: D - Scrungle Bungle @Novanod G - Jon Webber III @Webberj G - Deadpanda @Alex #5 Mexico City Kings Pre-season rank: 4th This season of the Mexico City Kings is the definition of a team with highs and lows. Indeed, the team is currently 5th in the standings, but if you look at their differrential, they have the second worst one in the league with -18. Their offense is struggling and their defense is not doing bad, but is not doing good either. Four of their five players with the most points are defensemen, the only forward is Hunter s @Hunter S. We still have to acknowledge the brilliant work of Chazz Micheal Micheals @Xflexz in front of the net. Situation: Buyer Players to acquire: LW - Jean-Pierre Devote @eagle_3450 RW - Marek Nowaczyk @Chillybro LW - Kevin OConnor @Luke033 C - Mad Villain @Tate RW - Drosmis Sarkanis @Mr Bohannan #Tie 6-8 Halifax 21st Pre-season rank: 9th With the Miami Marauders, the Halifax 21st are another big surprises this season. Indeed, on paper Halifax does not really have a team that should be able to compete this season and were supposed to be rebuilding, but they are currently in a three-way tie for the sixth place in the standings with 48 points. Halifax does not really have any superstar in offense and in defense, but in the net they have the best goalie in the league in Jon Webber III @Webberj and this is without a doubt the reason why they are in a playoffs spot. I just don't see the 21st going all the way this season, so I think they should be sellers and Webber is going to be a great bargaining chip. Situation: Seller Players to trade: G - Jon Webber III @Webberj #Tie 6-8 San Diego Marlins Pre-season rank: 8th The San Diego Marlins are exactly were we predicted them to be with 48 points and the 8th place in the league. Just like the 21st, I don't really see the Marlins having a long playoffs run this season even if they have better player than Halifax. Indeed, in offense San Diego can count on Jean-Pierre Devote @eagle_3450 and Nicholas Sunderbruch Jr @NickSunderbruch and in defense they have Blaze Thunderstrike @eaglesfan036 that is doing good. If the Marlins decide to sell, they have pretty good players that the contenders may ask for. Situation: Seller Players to trade: LW - Jean-Pierre Devote @eagle_3450 #Tie 6-8 Las Vegas Aces Pre-season rank: 5th The Las Vegas Aces are probably the most disappointing team after the half-season mark as they are only playing for 0.500 with 21 wins for 48 points. On paper the team is looking pretty good, but it seems like they are not able to get on a winning streak. I still want to mention that Kevin OConnor @Luke033 is having a pretty good season offensively for the Aces. The situation of the Aces is really weird as I think that they could have the team to do a push in the playoffs, but they will have to do some changes if they want to do that. Situation: Buyer/Seller Players to acquire if they are buyers: D - Scrungle Bungle @Novanod Players to trade if they are sellers: RW - Marek Nowaczyk @Chillybro LW - Kevin OConnor @Luke033 C - Mad Villain @Tate G - Deadpanda @Alex #9 Houston Bulls Pre-season rank: 7th Just as expected, the Houston Bulls are having a difficult season with 47 points in 48 games and are 9th in the standings. However, it was part of the process for the Bulls, so we are not worried and we know that the upcoming seasons will be better. Plus, the Bulls have a couple of players they can try to trade to help them in their rebuild. Situation: Seller Players to trade: D - Scrungle Bungle @Novanod #10 Saskatoon Wild Pre-season rank: 10th At the start of the season, we did not expect to see the Wild win a lot of games and as the standings shows, we were right (lol). But seriously, just like the Houston Bulls, Saskatoon is in a rebuilding stage and the upcoming season will be difficult, but they have players they can trade to improve their bank of draft picks. Situation: Seller Players to trade: RW - Drosmis Sarkanis @Mr Bohannan That’s all for me, thanks everyone for reading, I wish you all a good end of the regular season and see you in another VSN article!

Answers: 1. Not a lot sadly, I already had something planned last thursday and I could no give as much as I would have liked. 2. Not really original, but I was a construction worker. 3. No, but if we continue to play like we did in the past 4 days, maybe we will at the end of the season. Questions: 1-What would be the Halloween costume of your dream? 2-Who do you think will win the Continental Cup? Why? 3-Who is your favorite player in the VHL? Why?

@ace_five_ Welcome everyone, We are here for the first season of the VHLM without the VHLE in over 15 seasons. So, this season is going to be really special and different of the other ones. I did the season preview of the VHLE for a couple of seasons and I think I can easily say that this season preview is one of the most difficult one to do. Indeed, the teams are pretty much all similar, so it is really possible that you may disagree with me. #1 Ottawa Lynx With the VHLE now dead, the Ottawa got really lucky and River Harrington @kirbithan and Brandon Petan Jr @sadie, their 2nd and 4th pick overall respectively in the S95 VHLM draft, are back with the team for a 3rd season. In addition of Harrington and Petan Jr, Ottawa can count on two veterans in Ocean Codoller @FreshOceanCod and Masa Akimoto @Hokikeijot to solidify their offensive and defensive core. In the net, the Lynx can count on two really young goalies in Vadlimir Trunov @qripll and Dr Victor von Doom @Garsh who will continue to grow and help the team as the season go. #2 Philadelphia Reapers Just like the Ottawa Lynx, the Philapelphia Reapers got the chance to keep key players, like Youre Not Fucking Retiring @twists and Bret Weier @Quanack, because of the end of the VHLE. Players like Taylor Swift @lilchrist and Wefernardo Mackingikus @vincentlg2007 are going to be really important to make the froward core stronger. In defense, Einar Mathiesen @xsjack and Cody Toland @ctoland102 are without a doubt going to be the quarterbacks of this defense. Onyekachukwu Chidieber Oluwaseun @TenIQ is going to be the veteran presence in front of the net. #3 Mississauga Hounds The Mississauga Hounds are one of the teams with the fewest number of players in their roster. Indeed, with only six forwards and four defensemen, the Hounds don't have a lot of depth player, but at least they can count on solid players. Indeed, Nikita Yolishev @Joel Main and Filip Zinek @FiZi are going to be leaders of the team offensively and Slava Kovalenko @OblivionWalker and Kurt Bachmann @Blutch will lead the team defensively. Bartholomew Lorequavius @jaypc8237 is going to be the man of trust for the Mississauga Hounds to keep the net. #4 Mexico City Kings The Mexico City Kings are probably the strangest team of the VHLM. Indeed, on paper the Kings have the worst offense ofin the league, but also the best defense and one of the best goalies in the league in Chazz Micheal Micheals @Xflexz. The defense of Mexico is led by two of the best defensemen of the league, Alagsantere Groenvold @VattghernCZ and Wadyslaw Mintus @mintusaurus. The only problem of Mexico City I see, is their lack of super stars on the 1st forward line. Indeed, the Kings offense is filled with depth and 2nd line forwards, but if the team can improve their attack, they will be unstoppable. #5 Las Vegas Aces When you look at the Las Vegas roster, it is completely the opposite of the Mexico City Kings. Indeed, the Las Vegas Aces have one of the best offenses and one of the worst defenses, but they slso have one of the best goalies, if not THE best in Deadpanda @Alex. The offense of Las Vegas is led by the veteran Marek Nowaczyk @Chillybro and Kevin OConnor @Luke033. For the defense, it is struggling, but it is also really young and I see the rising stars Albin Aldgard @animal74 and Manuel Ceson @dylanjj37 becoming better as the season goes. #6 Miami Marauders The Miami Marauders are on paper the team with the best depth forwards and this is what is going to help them this season. In addition, the forward core can count on veterans to lead them like Elf shoes @ELF_SH0ES and Anthony Simmons II @Starchychaff. The goaltender Draw Mac @okochastar will have to be really good this season if they want to keep the team in the playoffs race as the defense is very young and will need some support. Narnia Shaw @Dabnad and Dog Jagr @koty_k are both promising players and will continue to improve during the season. #7 Houston Bulls The Houston Bulls are pretty much in the middle of the league at each positions. Indeed, they don't really have any super star, but they can count on some good depth at each position. On offense, Robin Sierra @ethanjaeda and David Vanhousen @David VanHousen will be the leaders of the team and on defense, Scrungle Bungle @Novanod will have to step up as the quarterback of this unit. The situation in front of the net is probably what will cause problems to the Houston Bulls. However, I can still see this team causing some shockwaves this season. #8 San Diego Marlins The next three teams are teams that I don't really see making the playoffs or having a long run in it and that will be in a rebuilding stage this year. In my opinion, San Diego is the only one of the three that I can see causing some surprises. Indeed, they can count on veterans like Jean-Pierre Devote @eagle_3450 and Nicholas Sunderbruch Jr @NickSunderbruch on offense and Blaze Thunderstrike @eaglesfan036 on defense. In the net, they have a really good goalie in Ricky LaFleur @DarkSpyro that will continue to develop and be really good sooner rather than later. #9 Halifax 21st The biggest weakness of the Halifax 21st is definitively going to be their depth players on offense and defense. Indeed, the 21st can still count on some super stars, but the team is only carried by two or three players. Halifax can count on one of the best goalies of the league in Jon Webber Jr @Webberj and I would not be surprised if he steals a couple of games all by himself this season. Boris Bone-Breaker @RileyL will also have to be really good defensively and offensively if they want to have a chance to win some games this season. #10 Saskatoon Wild The season will be long in Saskatoon and I don't see them winning a lot of games in the regular season. However, the team is really young and can count on some rising stars like Brigitta Sandstrom @Acydburn and CJ Daniels @xNJDevilsFanx who will help them in the upcoming seasons. If Saskatoon wants to win some games this season, Drosmis Sarkanis @Mr Bohannan will have to play on top of his head all season long. That’s all for me, thanks everyone for reading, I wish you all a good regular season and see you in another VSN article!
