  1. Friends, I do not boast lightly when I say that we are a great team. Thers is no point in saying otherwise. We are a great team. From before the season started, we were called out as the best team in the VHLE. We have since lived up to those expectations, winning the King's Cup for being the best team in the regular season. We are a great team. It is an established fact. However, it is equally just as much of a fact that great teams don't always win. That is what makes this sport we all fell in love with the wounder it truly is. The history of this sport is filled with examples of great teams who failed to win a championship. Think back to the Soviets in 1980 or the Canadians in 1996. Both of these international squads were the best teams on the whole planet in their time only to fall embarrassingly short while others celebrated a miracle upset. The lessons of these two failures are clear. Our netminders must turn into the most unbreakable of stone walls and the rest of us must fight and claw for the puck with everything we have very step of the way.I know we are more than capable of doing both any day of the week. So we are going to go out there tonight and every night and fight like we are hungry, because after everything this leage has put me through, I am starving. Let's make our own miracles out there. Let's fly! Speech made by captin Shubham Anand to his fellow Vasteras Iron Eagles just before the Game 1 of the S90 VHLE playoffs.

  8. Halifax 21st Press Conference Answer 3 Questions for 1 Capped TPE Answer 6 Questions for 2 Capped TPE For Week Ending on September 24, 2023 1. There were far fewer recreates than I expected. Do you believe that this team can make Cup run as is? 2. How do you feel about the Babcock situation? 3. Should we have made a trade for the future or was sticking with what we have now the right decision. 4. What model of stick, skates, gloves and helmet does your player use/wear? 5. What is an interesting activity that you do regularly? 6. Would you be interested joining in a team wideYahoo Fantasy Hockey league if I ran it?
  9. 1. Ideally you want both. Needs can change especially within the season or two its takes for prospect to develop grabbing the best player is the better guiding principle. 2. The fantasy hockey league is a great place to start. I believe that it will pick up when we are contenders again. 3. He shoots right with a Bauer Vapor Hyperlite 2. 4. The National Alzheimer's Association. I lost grandparents from both sides of my family. A cure will help so many people. 5. Surprisingly enought, baseball. Shubham Anand was going to go pro in cricket and those abilities are translatable to baseball. 6. I have not. I have tried distance running before. I am more of a sprinter.
  10. Glad you are back. Good luck with your player? What did Ruutu say?
  11. This players looks good. Good luck with the new character.
  12. I am ready for recreates.

  13. I have told this story one too many times. But I shall do so again mainly because it fits the theme week so perfectly. Draft day is suppose to be a happy time where you celebrate a new beginning especially if you know for sure that that you will be apart of the the leage you are being selected for the coming season. That would no be the case for Shubham Anand in the S89 VHLE Entry Draft. The snub would be the starting point for a wild story still being written today. Going into the S89 VHLE Draft, Shubham Anand had a lot to feel good about. The Indian winger finished a fantastic rookie season in the VHLM with the San Diego Marlins and was recently drafted in the first round by the Calgary Wranglers. Despite little to no communication from ant VHLE team management, Shubham believed himself to be a late first or early second round pick in the then eight team league. Looking back, the fact that a star player soon to be in the leage was largely ignored should have been sign to come. Because after the first and second rounds passed, Shubham Anand was still waiting for his name to be called. It wouldn't be until the 21st pick, the middle of the third round, that Shubham's long wait would be over. To show how bad of a snub this actually is take for example Joseph Reed. The Saskatoon netminder was selected 16th pick in the same draft. He has yet to play a game in the VHLE. That is likely to change next season, but it is still not the immediate production Shubham has brought to the E. Needless to say the collective vote of no confidence in his hockey skill made made the normally calm man angry. His Hello Europe article reads more like a threat than an introduction. Adding to his misery, he was selected by the Vasteras Iron Eagles, a sinking ship of a franchise just trying to stay afloat. At least he would play with fellow Marlin and Wranglers prospect Fradin McGryer. And he would for four games before McGryer was traded to the Geneva Rush with no warning. This trade, the tough adjustment to life in Sweden, and the consistent losses would erode Shubham's relationship with Iron Eagles' management, until close to the S89 Trade Deadline, Shubham would himself be traded to the Geneva Rush. Admittedly he would produce the same number of points for both teams that season,but for the first time as a player in the VHLE, Shubham felt good. He even decided to stay with the Rush for the next season. But near the end of S89, the league made an announcement that would make everyone question whether or not Shubham would keep his word and stay in the E for one season more or be called up to a rebuilding Wranglers team. The VHLE would be going through a long needed reduction down to six teams. The Iron Eagles team that had struggled to survive was finally put out of it's misery. Two other clubs would relocate and rebrand to replace the fallen franchises. And guess who the Geneva Rush was slated to replace. Remarkably, Shubham would keep his word and would become the captain of of the reborn Iron Eagles. In spite of everything that has happened, the Iron Eagles fans would respond with a standing ovation on Opening Night. Now the joke in on the VHLE. The Iron Eagles are easily the best team in the E and Shubham Anand is the favorite to lift the Renaissance Cup this season. It took time and effort to turn a brutal snub into stunning success.
  14. It is looking more likely that a part 2 is comming. First must finish my current article.
  15. Halifax 21st Press Conference Answer 3 Questions for 1 Capped TPE Answer 6 Questions for 2 Capped TPE For Week Ending on September 17, 2023 1. We are approaching the middle of the season. How do you feel about your players' performance so far? 2. Who do you feel in VHLM MVP right now? 3. What us the worst way you have been FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY in the leage? 4. We are transitioing into Autumn. What is your favourite thing about Autumn. 5. Hockey season will be starting up soon. Who is your early pick to win the Stanley Cup? 6. What is the best pet you ever had?
  16. 1. About what is expected for a rebuild. Just need more time. 2. We should be somewhat better next season. Maybe even a borderline playoff team. 3. Thor Reingaard is the top player in the draft class. Both Moths are also really good. And Red Panda is the top goaltender in the class. 4. Try to aquire picks and young players. 5. A beautiful mutt named Duncan. 6. I really can't say. Every season has it's pros and cons.
  17. Halifax 21st Press Conference Answer 3 Questions for 1 Capped TPE Answer 6 Questions for 2 Capped TPE For Week Ending on September 10, 2023 1. We have finally hit some winning form. How critical has finding a goaltender has been to our season? 2. Who has been the best foward so far in the season? 3. Who has shown the most toughness out of anyone on the team? 4. Who in the VHLm has surprised you the most? 5. How do you feel about some of the changes the Board of Governors have discussed? 6. How did you enjoy your Labor Day weekend?
  18. 1. Ideally every team can compete and have a chance at a championship. However not every team can compete every season. The process of loosing today to win tomorrow only works if you hit on your draft picks. 2. Steve Lattimer is second for the team in points. That is good for his TPE. 3. Gavin Rozzdale has only produced 3 points. Not a noted point producer but still. 4. Rip Wheeler has been absolutely destroying people out there. He is going to have so many hits this season. 5. I don't really have a set show on the weekends. Just watch whatever sports are on with naps and the occasional YouTube video. 6. Statically they are a possibility. Practically the distance between life is so vast no modern technology can connect us.
  19. Welcome. If you need anything let us know. Have fun and good luck
