  1. Hello everyone, Welcome to the seventeenth chapter of Baby Bob's life story. In this life story we will talk about the life of Baby, when he was young, his thoughts and his impressions before the drafts, during the seasons and during the playoffs. Baby Bob will also respond to questions from the fans, from the GMs and from the leaders of the VHL and the VHLM. In this chapter, we will take a trip into the future and talk about the life after the VHL of Baby Bob. The article will be in the form of an interview where Baby Bob will answer some of my questions. I started by asking him about the way he feels about his retiring : « I am still at the beginning of my career, so i don’t really think about my retirement yet, because i still want to focus on my career. However, sometimes I visualize my after career and i have a lot of great project that i would like to do ». As you just saw, Baby Bob talked about having big project for after his hockey career in the VHL. I obviously asked to know more about his “project” : « Well, i won’t be the first one to do it and surely not the last one either, but i always wanted to open my own training camp. A training camp where everyone can play hockey and don’t have to be a millionaire to participate. When i was young, my parents weren’t the one with the most money, so i was not going on all these summer training camp that all my teammates where going. I didn’t really think about a name for my camp yet, but it will be a classic one, nothing too fancy ». We know that the career of Baby in the VHL will not last forever, but we don’t know if after the VHL Baby Bob will continue to play, either in another league or a garage league. I reached out to him to know better his thought about that : « Of course, I would never want to stop playing and retire, but we never know what can happen in my life. Injurie, personnal problem or even illness, but if it was only from me i would never retire. It is really too soon to start thinking about it, but I would really like to play in the KHL or any other league in Europe after the VHL. It is sure that the KHL is probably the most prestigious league in Europe after the VHLE, so it is always nice to play where the legends already played. I am currently talking about Pavel Datsyuk, Alex Ovechkin and many others. A lot of big players who had great career in the NHL or the VHL played in Europe after, like Jaromir Jagr, the Sedin brothers, the Stastny brothers and a lot more ». Thanks for reading and see you next week for more of the life story of Baby Bob. 508 words 11- 17 october
  2. My top 3 of the best looking logos in the VHL There are 16 teams in the VHL, so that means 16 logos as well. All of the logos are very beautiful, but i only need to choose three of them to make my top three of the most best looking logos in the VHL. I will start with the third best looking logos of the VHL, the logo of the Toronto Legion. I really love the shape of this logo and how the name really fit with the logo. It is now time to tell the second one, the logo of the D.C. Dragons is very beautiful. It is very basic, it is just a dragon, but the dragon is very well done and i like it. Now, the last, but also the best looking logo in the VHL, in my opinion, the logo of the Malmo Nighthawks. I really love the colors and the choice of the logo. Before the end, i want to give an honorable mention to the logo of the Warsaw Predators.
  3. 1. We continue to play the same way we were playing and the results will continue to be in our favour. 2. Obviously, it helps the entire team, because we don't have to stress about our goaltenders, because they are the doing the job. 3. I am first in the league for the most game winning goals with seven in 40 games. This is absolutely unbelievable, I am very proud. 4. Otto Numminen without a doubt, he is currently first in the league for the most points and he deserves it. 5. We need to focus more on improving our offensive side of the game and shooting more. 6. We just continue to do what we are already doing and the streaks will continue.
  4. Thanks for the review and i will look to add some colors and maybe a picture to the next article
  5. My top 3 of the best looking logos of the VHLM There are currently twelve teams in the VHLM and a lot of them have beautiful logos. In this little article, I will tell you my top three of the best looking logos of all the VHLM. I will start with my third favorite, the Saskatoon Wild’s logo, their logo is very basic, a wild animal face with his mouth open. It is very basic, but very beautiful and simple. Now, my second favorite, the Miami Marauders logo, the logo really represents the name of the league, a skeleton head with a pirate hat on a ship anchor. The meaning of the logo is incredible and the colors are really relevant and beautiful. Finally, my favorite logo of all the VHLM, the Mexico City Kings logo, the team recently changed their logo and I believe that they did an amazing job, the color and the design of the logo are perfect. Here are my favorite logos of the VHLM.
  6. Hello everyone, Welcome to the sixteenth chapter of Baby Bob's life story. In this life story we will talk about the life of Baby, when he was young, his thoughts and his impressions before the drafts, during the seasons and during the playoffs. Baby Bob will also respond to questions from the fans, from the GMs and from the leaders of the VHL and the VHLM. In the last couple of weeks, a lot of things happened and we did not have the time to talk about everything. In this chapter, I will do a full interview with Baby Bob about the events of the past weeks. A lot of things happened lately, but everything started with your loss in the final of the Founder’s Cup. How did this loss affect you? « I have only been in the league for two seasons, but I can say that it was the most intense thing that happened to me. In my first season, we were last in the league and no one was surprised and in my second season, we were first and no one was surprised about it either. We went to the final and we were favorites to win the Cup, but we didn’t, so obviously I was devastated. However, after 2-3 days, I moved on to get ready for the next season to win the Cup in the VHLE with my future team. » Only nine days after the final of the Founder’s Cup, you have been drafted by the Rome Gladiators 17th overall. How did it make you feel? « It is always fun to be drafted, it is a new adventure that begins and it also shows that a team wants you to play for them. Rome was the only team that contacted me before the draft, so I was very excited to see that they really wanted me on their team. Also, Minion, my former teammates and linemates with the Mississauga Hounds for the past two seasons, is currently the AGM of the Rome Gladiators, so it is very nice to see a familiar face. Minion is not the only one that played with Mississauga that is now playing with Rome. Effectively, Russel Dixon, Luke Spinelli and Otto Numminen are also playing with the Gladiators this season. » This season is the first ever VHLE season and you are a part of it. How does it feel to play for the first ever Rome Gladiators and to have played the first game ever of your team? « It is always weird to wear a jersey that no one else has ever worn before, but very exciting at the same time. Effectively, when you first step on the ice in front of all your fans, it always feels extremely great and I will always remember this moment. It's already been two weeks since the season started, but I still can’t believe that this is really happening. » Thanks for reading and see you next week for more of the life story of Baby Bob. 508 words 4 - 10 october
  7. 1. We did not have a bad start of the season, but not a good one either. However, We are currently third in the league with only one point behind the first in the league. I feel like we are now playing like we should be. 2. The team is playing good, but i think that we could improve our offensive side of the game. We does not score as much goals as we should. 3. It obviously feel good, but it is weird at the same time. It is the first time this team ever existed and we are a part of it. 4. It is strange, but i will say the Bratislava Watchmen, even though they are last in the league, i feel like they are the team who beats us the most. 5. Our offensive. Effectively, we are the team with the least goals for and i believe that we should improve that aspects of the game. 6. Simple. Ban him.
  8. 8/10 Very good article. The text is really nice to read and it is well written. I like the fact that you chose one player that you like for each, but i would maybe elaborate a little bit more about why the player is the best of his team. Other than that, great article and keep up the good work.
  9. 9/10 Wow great article, this is very helpful and nice to see. We can see that you did a lot of research and that you spent a lot of time doing this text. It is very well written and nice to read.
  10. Thanks for the review, I will see if I can show more of his impressions in the next article
  11. Hello everyone, Welcome to the fifteenth chapter of Baby Bob's life story. In this life story we will talk about the life of Baby, when he was young, his thoughts and his impressions before the drafts, during the seasons and during the playoffs. Baby Bob will also respond to questions from the fans, from the GMs and from the leaders of the VHL and the VHLM. Last week, three drafts happened and Baby Bob got drafted in one of them. In this chapter, we will talk about this draft and the beginning of the season. Exactly nine days ago at the time I am writing this text, the 20th of september, it was the first ever VHLE draft. There are only six teams in the league right now, so only six players each round were selected. There were 14 rounds and a total of 84 players drafted. Baby Bob was one of them, effectively, Baby was drafted in the third round, 17th overall by the Rome Gladiators. Rome was the only team that contacted him before the draft. The AGM of the Gladiators, Minion, was the former teammate of Baby Bob in the VHLM with the Mississauga Hounds. Maybe it played a role in the selection of Baby in the third round. We reached out to Baby Bob to see his reactions about being drafted in the third round by Rome : « When the draft started, i had the goal of being drafted between the end of the second round and the beginning of the fourth round and i reached my goal as i was drafted in the third round. I was very happy to be drafted and when I heard that it was by Rome I was even more excited. At the time, I knew that Minion was the AGM and my other former teammate Otto Numminen had been drafted in the second round, so I was happy to see faces that I already knew. In addition, they were not the only ones, Russel Dixon, Luke Spinelli and Sigard Petrenko, all former teammates with the Hounds were going to be drafted by Rome ». Last Wednesday, the season started and Baby decided to stay in the VHLE instead of going to the big league to play with Prague. There are not a lot of forwards on the team, seven to be exact, so Baby is playing a lot. He told me that he had high objectives this season, like finishing in the top 10 of the leagues in points and in goals. Baby Bob is currently at 9 goals and 19 points in 14 games with a differential +/- of 0. He is not in the top 10 in points, but he is tied in seventh place for goals. Baby Bob is also tied in first place for the most game winning goals with three. The season is just starting, but Baby is already looking to do better and help his team that is currently sitting in fifth place. Thanks for reading and see you next week for more of the life story of Baby Bob. 516 words 27 september - 3 october
  12. No one can predict who will win the Cup in the VHLE S80 is the first ever VHLE season and no one knew how it would go. There are currently six teams in the VHLE right now, the Gladiators, the Red Wolves, the Iron Eagles, the Vikings, the Watchmen and the Express. My team, the Rome Gladiators, is sitting in last place of the league with five wins, five losses and two overtime losses for a total of twelve points in twelve games. To show you how the standings are very tight, there is a tie at three teams, the Red Wolves, the Iron Eagles and the Vikings with fifthteen points in twelve games. This is only three points more than the last place in the league. The first three teams are at 15 points, the fourth team is at 13 points and the last two teams are at 12 points. I know that it only been 12 games, but i can see that this first ever season will be a great one.
  13. 1. I was very excited to be drafted in the first ever VHLE and especially by Rome 2. Be in the top 10 in the league for points and goals 3. Nothing less than win the Cup. 4. Yeah i am, i know there is not a lot of player available in the VHLE, but i think that it is the only thing i would do. Recruit new players. 5. The team we will face in the final. 6. I am not very active in the locker room, so i don't know which emote we could had.

  16. My favorite banners and who did I vote for in the Banner poll? I will start with my third favorite, the third banner. I really love the edit of this banner, because it is well done and it really represents the cup champions. However, I think that it misses some colours. Effectively, the banner is a little bit too dark, the banner is supposed to show how happy the team are and I don't think that these colours really fit the mood. Second of all, the first banner. I know that this banner is currently the most popular one in the poll on the forum, but it is not my favorite. For the simple reason that the colours are too vivid. They are too flashy and I don't find it really beautiful. And finally, my favorite, the banner number 5. The colours are beautiful and the banner is very well edited. I know i can be very critical, but i really want to just congratulate everyone who work on all the banner. I want to tell everyone that all the banners are beautiful.

  18. 1. I know it is not a trilogy, but Harry Potter's is the best series even made in my opinion. 2. We did not have a lot of pick, but i am very happy of our selections. 3. I am currently playing with Rome in the VHLE and i really believe in our chance to win the Cup. 4. I am an Habs fan, so i will obviously follow Cole Caufield and i hope that he will do good this season. 5. Sugar 100% 6. I am happy that i got drafted in the VHLE, but other than that the off-season was pretty quiet for me.
  19. Canada made the biggest comeback of history to win bronze!!!!
  20. Hello everyone, Welcome to the thirteenth chapter of Baby Bob's life story. In this life story we will talk about the life of Baby, when he was young, his thoughts and his impressions before the drafts, during the seasons and during the playoffs. Baby Bob will also respond to questions from the fans, from the GMs and from the leaders of the VHL and the VHLM. This chapter will be a special one, we will not really talk about Baby Bob. Effectively, in this chapter we will talk about the multiple drafts that will come in the next week. The VHL draft, VHLE draft and the VHLM draft, but more in particular the VHL and the VHLE drafts. We now know the dates of both of the drafts and today, 19th of september, is the VHL draft at 8PM EST. As you may know, Baby Bob was drafted last season by the Prague Phantoms in the first round, 9th overall to be exact. Prague made the playoffs, but only the tiebreaker series. It was a 3 out of 5, so the first team to win 3 games would win and the Phantoms lost in four games. With this loss, the Prague Phantoms will draft 7th overall with their first round pick. I know that I am not diamond_ace or Lilmar, but I will still give my opinion on who the team should draft. The team needs prospects at each position, but they definitely need a defenceman more than anything. Of course Corey Kitson would be my first choice and by far, but when you look at his stats from last season and his number of TPE, i doubt that he will still be available at the 7th pick. In a more realistic world, two players should be taken into consideration, Hari Singh Nalwa and Alessandro Nano. Hari was drafted 9th overall last year by the Miami Marauders. He had 71 assists and 102 points in 72 games, he also won the Founder’s Cup and had 23 points in 18 games. Hari Singh Nalwa is currently playing with Team World in the S79 World Juniors Championship and is at 7 points in 8 games. For his part, Alessandro was drafted 2th overall also by the Miami Marauders. He made 58 points in the regular season and 16 points in the playoffs. He is playing with Team Europe and put up 4 points in 8 games. Now that we talked about the VHL draft, it is time to talk a little bit about the first ever VHLE draft. Baby Bob is eligible and I will make my prediction on where he will be drafted and by who. Two teams reached out to him, the Rome Gladiators and the Bratislava Watchmen. I do believe that one of these two teams will draft him. We need to take in consideration that there are only six teams, so only six players will be drafted each round. With that being said, I think that Baby Bob will go out between the end of the second round and the beginning of the fourth round. Thanks for reading this special edition and see you next week for more of the life story of Baby Bob. 537 words 13 - 19 september
  21. How did we lose again against Miami in the Final? For the second time in the last three seasons, the Mississauga Hounds Finished First in the league and participated in the final. Both times, Their opponents were the Miami Marauders and as you may know, the Hounds lost both finals. They lost the first one in four games and they lost the second one in five games. Both S77 and S79, Mississauga was first in the league and Miami was third in the league. For the ones that don’t think the situations can be worse, think again, the Mississauga didn’t go in the final and lost in four or five games against the Miami Marauders only two times, but they did it three times. Effectively, the Hounds lost in four games in the S74 against the Marauders. I don’t know what that means, but I can definitely say that the Hounds are not meant to win against Miami in the finals.
