The World Juniors have been being played out over the last few days and this has put many futures stars in the spotlight. The teams have been battling it out as the semifinals will be played out today. The four teams who remain are Team Asia, Team World, Team Europe, and Team Canada. Team USA had to pack their bags early after losing to Team Asia in the quarter finals.
 
Team Asia has had a very interesting tournament so far as they will be playing Team Canada. Team Canada has had a very strong tournament after finishing the round robin stage in first place. This game will be a massive challenge for Team Asia as they have struggled against tougher opponents. Team Asia has been lead by their defense who possess nearly all of their points with only Yun Chiang having more than 5 points as a forward. The rest of the forward core has struggled largely in netting goals. If Asia wants any chance of defeating Canada they must get more goals out of their forwards. Team Asia has also struggled of keeping the puck out of their net. This struggle has fallen heavily  on Orion D H Chester IX who has actually faced less goals than many other goalies, but  unfortunately has allowed the 2nd highest goals against average. The problems surrounding Team Asia are large and they have one last tune-up today before they face Team Canada.

Sergey Preobrazhensky and The World Stage
 
Moscow - It’s that time of the season again folks! The bright young prospects of the VHL will be playing in the WJC (World Junior Championship) to showcase and represent their respective region. Our very own Sergey Preobrazhensky has been selected to play with Team Asia. Sergey was very surprised when he got the call from Team Asia’s Head Coach/Manger, @FireballSalad. He was hoping for a quiet offseason to work on his skills, but this opportunity is too good to pass up. 
 
So far, Sergey has struggled playing for Team Asia, having only 2 assists with no goals in 8 games played in the group stage. Following that, in the Quarter Finals Game against the USA, Sergey got another 2 assists, with Asia winning 7-6 in a thriller of a game. Sergey has visibly shown frustration on the ice, even going as far as breaking multiple of his sticks on the bench as well as on the ice. 

This has prompted a big question about Sergey Preobrazhensky: can he handle playing in higher skilled leagues? The WJC has showcased some of the best young talent in the VHL. Critics say that if he cannot succeed in the WJC, why is there any reason to believe he will be successful in the VHLE or VHL?

The Underdogs, Team Asia is back on the ice again tomorrow night, hoping to upset Team Canada. Will Sergey silence the critics? This will be a statement game for him tomorrow, only time will tell if he can rise to the occasion.

1. Nah im kinda just winging it. 
2. Just to lvl him up as high as I can and have fun in the process. Sniper build.

Yun Chiang just finished his season in Miami after Miami fell 4-0 in their series against Yukon. During that series Chiang was held fairly quiet, but he did have a very successful first year of professional hockey. After signing with Miami early in the season, Chiang quickly became their elite scoring forward playing 68 games and leading the team in goals, assists, points, and game winning goals. This outstanding performance has really raised Chiang's draft stock where he currently stands at a fringe 1st round pick. He has greatly improved in all aspects of the game this season and has truly solidified himself as a strong two-way forward with an impressive +/- with a team that struggled defensively all season. Chiang will begin his next season playing in the VHLE where he likely will hope to continue his success and become a regular VHL player the following season. If he is able to continue his production in the VHLE, whatever team drafts him will be in a great position to threaten a playoff position or even cup contending if they can find other pieces to complement Chiang.

With the stir of conversation about the VHLM I thought I would give my opinions on the VHLM. I would like to tell everyone that these are my opinions and I will be giving what I believe would fix these issues. I want to make it clear that I thoroughly enjoy my time in the VHL and I want to help improve the league in any way possible. I will be listing both issues and positives of the league and will be listing them in order of importance.
 
 

Issues

VHLM Player Spread

The most important issue is that there are teams in the league that have very little talent while the top teams have nearly all the talent. This problem is further exaggerated by the fact that teams will trade away many draft picks and some teams will not claim on waivers which further causes those teams to be worse than their counterparts. I believe this is a problem because of how new players want to be a part of a team that has a chance of winning the cup and many new players may not even know who are the strong players when they choose what team to play on when they go on waivers if they want to win the cup. I know this was the situation for me, but I am not complaining because I did want to be on a team that was a long pick for the cup.

Correction

I believe the best way to fix this is to either change how waivers work (making players be automatically assigned) or make it so every team has an automatic message sent when a new player is created. I understand that this may be a difficult thing to do, but I believe that an automatic message from every team would help spread players out further. As for draft picks, I believe that teams should be heavily limited in trading draft picks.

Learning Curve

It is possible that many new members will have a difficult time learning how the league works because if we are honest the wall of text that exists can be quite intimidating. I know that I often find myself asking questions constantly even though I know that the answers could likely be found, but the answers are often hidden under a wall of text. I also think that it could be solved if every team really pushed their discord servers more and each team had a designated “Trainer” “Coach” or really any title that is an experienced player who is there specifically to help the new members of the team because if teams have help internally players may feel more comfortable talking in their locker room because they have already talked to their “Trainer” quite a bit and are already comfortable talking to them.

Correction

I think the best correction for this issue would just be to simplify the introduction for new players. I do not know how you would be able to do this, but I fully believe that the staff could find a way to correct this issue and the videos are a great step to helping.

Hard to Introduce Yourself

In the forums, I have had trouble introducing who I am and having fun just with people in the community. I did not have this problem in locker rooms and discord, so it is possible that it may just be me. I know that the discussions exist, but I didn’t really know how to get started in that when I first started.

Correction

I think the best way to correct this is to really push the Introduce Yourself thread because that is the entry point into learning everyone in the community.

Weird Sim

I know this is a weird complaint, but I think it is a bit weird how simming works. I do not know if there even is any way to change this or even make it slightly more interesting. I just don’t really like how you are looking at box scores. I wish there was a PBE style way to sim like OOTP, but I don’t know if FHM is good at simming because I have never used it.
 
Events

The events when they do happen are a bunch of fun. I very much enjoyed the Halloween event that just concluded. I wish that there was a sort of scavenger hunt that could be done for capped TPE every week.

Correction

I think the best correction for this is just to bring back trivia because from what I have heard is that trivia is fairly similar to the events and could be a ton of fun if it were to be brought back.
 
 

Positives
 
Friendly Community

It is so important that the community is friendly and you guys have really nailed this and this is one of the more welcoming communities I have been a part of. I really appreciate everyone who helped me figure out what I was doing and I am really happy that you guys were as helpful as you were.
 
Easy Navigation

Another important fact is that the forum and the portal are easy to navigate as a new member. Compared to other simulation leagues this league does a very good job of making it incredibly easy to figure out where everything is located.

Helpful Reviews

The people who write reviews are often really helpful for helping us improve our writing/graphics and I am really happy to have you guys here and it is great that the league pushes members to do this. I do wish that those who take reviewing seriously would be given more praise so here is the praise you guys deserve you, unsung heroes!


Conclusion

I think you guys are doing a great job and I want to start a conversation. I really want to hear if people agree or disagree and hope people just come and critize what I am saying because I want to know what everyone thinks. I hope everyone who is new to the league sticks out their time and learns some of the community members because you guys truly are awesome.
