3. Ottawa.
4. Halifax 👀.
5. Cookies and Cream, I've always liked it.
6. Yeah but I don't get to go much, I'm always busy with summer sports.

1. I'm sure there are many great prospects so we can definitely find a gem.
2. I'm mostly working on Poke Checking and Defensive Coverage.
3. I haven't heard of the debacle. So I'm not sure.
4. I think they'll do well.
5. Definitely the logo of the team I'm player for and my jersey number.
6. $5000, maybe a little more I hope.

ThatCanadian got a reaction from Ricer13 in Miami Marauders Press Conference
1. I don't think so.
2. I think we can take it as a positive note and rebound next year.
3. I far exceeded my expectations at the start of the season. However, I declined quite a bit as the season went on.
4. It's fun to see yourself and your player develop to become a great player in-game.
5. I can be a little too difficult to understand at times.
6. Toronto Maple Leafs
Edit: I just realized I did the wrong one...

ThatCanadian reacted to Will3 in Analysis of VHLM Team Names Part 1: Halifax and Houston
Hello, everyone and welcome to my new article series. Here I will bring the same critical eye used in the creation of fictional expansion teams to the actual VHL teams. There is no better place for us to start than the alphabetically first two teams of the VHLM. We will see where this team name comes from and whether or not it works or should be replaced. Lets gets going.
The Halifax 21st are the perfect team name for a series like this. Not many people understand what a "21st" exactly is and what it is referring to. I had initially thought that the 21st were some local military unit of distinction. That is not it. A quick search took me to the true origin of the team name, Pier 21. From 1928 to 1971, Pier 21 was a terminal for ocean liners and immigration entry point, similar to Ellis Island in the States. This is an unexpected and original team name that is unique to the region. Overall this name works for two reasons. The first reason is that it is a bit of Canadian history that is not well-known to those outside of Canada. I never knew about Pier 21 until I did some research. The other reason it that it is a much more positive reference than a devastating explosion that killed a lot of people. I feel this team name brings something different to the table, which is good for any league.
Not every team name needs to be as unorthodox and mysterious as the the Halifax 21st. Take the Houston Bulls for example. The team name is a traditional animal team name and is far easier to explain than a "21st". Cattle ranching is tied to Texas not just economically but culturally as well. The image of a rough and tumble cowboy common in old western came from the cattle ranches in Texas. Bulls are male cattle that if triggered can easily kill a man wthe ith dangerous horns and stomping hooves. It works as a team name because bulls and cattle have been and continues to be important to Texas. Bonus points for bulls being an intimidating creature as well. Sometimes the traditional team names work perfectly fine.
That is all the time we have for explanations today. The VHLM does have some good team name and I look forward to analyzing all of them. I hope you have enjoyed this new beginning and continue to look forward to new articles going forward. I will be back next week with two more VHLM team name ready for analysis. I will you all then, my friends.

ThatCanadian reacted to Beketov in S81 Champion Cup Banner Contest
Hello all,
A few seasons ago we started this seasonal banner contest. The winner of this contest will have their championship banner on our front page until we can crown next season's winner.
Rules:
1. Image must be either 600 x 1800 or 600 x 1200 (we’ll allow both this time)
2. Image must include the VHL, VHLE, and the VHLM Champions (Vancouver, Stockholm, and Ottawa respectively)
3. Please PM submissions to me on the forums or Discord
4. Deadline is one week from today, Monday, January 24th @ 5PM EST
From the submissions, the best 3-5 will be selected for a public vote. The winner of this vote will receive 5 uncapped TPE as the winner of this contest. All entries, including the winner and those not chosen to be in the public vote, can be used as point tasks but we ask that you save them for after the vote so that voting can avoid bias.

ThatCanadian got a reaction from Matt thunder in Ottawa Lynx press conference
1. Not really, 16z has built an amazing team for these years and I'm honoured to be apart of it.
2. We are back and forth. But I am 100% sure that we can come out with another VHLM win.
3. Las Vegas is a great team, but I think we have that other notch above them that we have to step up to.
4. I was definitely happy. Mostly because we were the underdogs. It's a great feeling.
5. We have players with playoff experience and veterans who have great leadership.
6. 😳

ThatCanadian reacted to The Domino Archives in See ya, VHLM.
Hey, guys, let me just do something real quick.
LETS GO OTTAWA WON THE CUP MATTY LIVE IS FIRE WOOOO
Thank you for excusing me. Now that it's the off-season, I've made a decision to where I'm going to go. The VHLE- yeah no shit sherlock. I've reached over 200 TPE and that means I'm officially kicked out of the M. Just kidding, although that is true. Now it's time for 400 before I get kicked out! Yay!
But on a serious note, I have some people to thank in great Dom-Dom tradition.
*ahem*
@16z for leading us to the cup.
@Mattylive3k for being an absolute STUD in the postseason and scoring the game winning goal in Game 7.
@NickSunderbruch and @npuBeT for being our fuckin' awesome goalies. Postseason or not.
@Matt thunder for being our AGM in Ottawa.
Every single teammate that I had in Ottawa. You guys are the best.
And everybody who is reading this article, thank you.
So yeah, see you guys in the E. Buh-bye.
