Komi Komal was drafted to the Ottawa Lynx 16th overall. You could see the excitement spread across Komi's face as he got to walk the VHLM stage to join his new team and a new beginning. As Komi took his picture with the commissioner. He then went to back to his seat as he watched the remainder of the draft. From there I received calls from his GM Grape. "Hey Komi you excited to be In Ottawa?" "Absolutely Coach I'm thrilled, but how will I get there?" Grape chuckles, "We'll get you here don't you worry. For now get back home In california and get your things together. Also remember to start trying to think about where you will be staying In Ottawa." Komi panics a little, "crap right I forgot about all of that too. Well yes sir I'll start looking and see what I can do." Grape responds, "sounds good Komi, We'll see you here soon and get you arranged with the team." **Phone hangs up** -Komi and his family make It back home to gather his things before his flight- Well mom and dad It's crazy I'm here! -both of his parents smile as they embrace him for a hug- His dad says "It may not be football or basketball like your old dad here son, but I believe you can be a great player in hockey too." Komi chuckles, "thanks dad! Well I need to get going back to Stanford campus to clean up my dorm room too." His dad nods of course of course, Go ahead. -Komi finishes up at his parents house and grabs all of his things from his dorm and leaving his former roommate. As Komi left the campus, He looked back thinking about all the fond memories he had even with the hockey team. They all wished him luck in his career. Komi heads to the airport and makes his way to Ottawa. -All Komi could think about on the flight was being home again- He actually fell asleep, but was awaken by the Flight attendant. He would say "Oh sorry. **yawns** I didn't even realize we were here. -As komi walked out he saw a person holding a sign up with his name. Komi headed that way and shook hands with the driver. Komi would ask for breakfast and the driver would oblige. They would make their way to the offices. Komi would walk in to a nice secretary who directed him to the coaches office- GM grape was there "Hey welcome in man" As Komi shook hands with him and the coach. Grape starts off "Komi we couldn't be happier to draft you with our pick. We honestly needed a lot, but you felt right into our lap. We could not have been happier." Coach agrees, "He's right, I knew we needed a goalie, but when you're rebuilding like we are. You will take anyone you can get" Komi smiles as he brushes it off. "So when does practice start?" Coach answers, "Well were hoping to get started sometime next week. Have our guys there and see what you can do kid." Komi nodded, Grape interjects, "Well that reminds me, we heard some apartment complex was willing to make your rent pretty low thanks to be a Lynx. Its super nice trust me." Komi smiles, "When can I start moving In?" Grape smiles and points, "well just sign this contract for your salary and we'll get you going to move in." Coach adjusts himself in his seat before he gets up and says "keep in touch man looking forward to you starting this year." Grape straightens the paperwork after signing and hands komi a welcome bonus. "that's for anything you need this week, just wait till the money hits your bank account." Komi shakes hands again and makes his way to his apartment. Komi unlocks his new apartment and just admires all of it. The setup Of It was amazing to him, way better than dorms. Komi would just take a seat as his bar and just thank the Lord for his opportunity. He would then call his parents tell them he made it and tell his brother as well. Komi was here in the VHL. It was time to prove himself. Komi would spend the rest of the day putting his things away how he liked and just buying groceries later that day. Komi would come to the facility for a meeting with the team and they even served breakfast for everyone. As Komi would settle into his chair with his name stitched on it. It was just a cover, but It meant the world. Coach settles everyone down. "Well welcome my returners and to anyone new welcome to the lynx family. As you returners know we are definitely a weaker team this year, but that's okay we'll embrace It and Komi that means you'll be facing some shots this year." Komi nods "So, I'm looking to start practices this coming friday If that's okay with everyone. For now I do want you guys doing conditioning here till practice as we need to be in shape for the season boys. Am I understood?" -Everyone responds yes sir- Komi would get to pick his custom pads and get a custom helmet. He was ready. Practices at first were definitely rough as It was different playing against some professionals now. Regardless he had a job to do. At their last practice before the first of the game Coach gave a speech, "Boys you have been working hard, but always remember were only strong as our weakest lynx." -Everyone chuckled- "Seriously though remember keep pushing each other to be the best version of themselves this year. Win or lose always take something away from the game. Watch film, ask questions. Remember boys this is the minors not the Pro's your goal is to get into the vhl. do i make myself clear?" -Yes sir!- Good now on 3 lynx. 1, 2, 3 LYNX!!!" -Overall the Lynx have had a rough start including Komi as he's had his moments this year, but also his bad ones. The team finally got their first win which they cherished very much so, even went and ate out on the night of their win. Still there's a whole season left and they need more wins If they want to try to compete. I know Komi does.

1. Well me of course cant believe i fell that far, but i'll take it! 2. Well Komi is a rookie it probably won't be the prettiest, but maybe he can be the shining light 3. Well based off power ranking were supposed to stink, so honestly ill go with that, but truthfully i think komi may surprise. though im sure tanking would be nice for prospects next year 4. maybe sign some inactives if needed for defenseman otherwise i think were a bit stuck haha 5. probably halifax due to being in our conference as i think miami is considered worse than us lol 6. save my family from a burning building. Renegade Raider is now super accessible right? lol

A GOALIE WAS BORN Komi Kamal was born on May 24th. He was born In Long Beach, California. There he was born to a loving family. His family wasn't the richest by any means especially with prices of California, but They did well enough for themselves. As Komi was growing up he had 1 older brother named Jordan. His mom wanted a girl, but Dad said they did not have enough Money to support another kid. So him and his brother It was. As you could Imagine their dad had big plans for him and his brother. As Their dad was actually well known in long beach for his play through school. And being an academic sound student at the same time. Yeah Komi and his brother had a lot to live up to. As both him and his brother were in every sport possible It felt like. They both wondered how they even had the time to do these sports, but their dad was adamant about being involved in every sport possible. So Komi and Jordan would play every sport their dad signed them up for. Jordan ended up being a heck of an athlete himself as he would be all over the field in football and in basketball just dominating. Where as for when Komi started growing up too, he just was more of a role player in every sport he played. As he actually was the backup Quarterback for his little league team when their starter was sick and couldn't play one day. Komi stepped in at QB for the first time and he absolutely stunned the other team. His ability to throw and accurately at that was remarkable. Komi had found his spot in Football. Basketball just never worked for Komi, but he still played It to always be around his brother. As time went on they continued in their respective sports. Komi was already being put into the starting QB role by his 8th grade year as he just dominated 7th grade football. So when Komi was starting at QB his brother was playing both sides of the ball at WR and CB. As they would make the playoffs every year, but just always coming up short. By Komi's end of his sophomore year, He was receiving calls from Schools Interested In His talents. Where as his brother Jordan was killing It In Basketball and with being 6'6 he was gaining attention himself. Komi was 6'2 and playing PG for the basketball team as he also started for the basketball team in 8th grade! Komi was just an amazing passer and that talent transcended across all levels. By Komi's Senior he helped him and his team go for a state title, but they would fall short again, this Time In the Championship game. Komi and Jordans football season was over. Beginning of Komi's interest In Hockey As said before Komi played every sport Possible. Hockey was one of them. during this time Komi was still that role player kid and he actually got put into the same situation. Being the backup Goalie. He would also get to play other positions at times, but Goalie was his main Focus as he liked the pressure of having to stop someone else from scoring. Komi loved being In control of his destiny and Goalie allowed him to do that just like Quarterback. Though He wasn't the best by any means, He still gave 100% effort every game out there. Once he got to Middle School he really only did It as a side thing When his friends wanted to play it at times. When Komi Was graduating he had made his intention of commitment to Stanford University to play football. As his 4 years at Stanford would never amount to anything winning wise other than regular season success. Komi had asked the hockey team If they'd let him play Backup Goalie. Stanford allowed this as Komi said he'd quit If he couldn't play Hockey at least a few times. Stanford would of stood their ground but didn't see It as a bad thing. They allowed Komi to play. As Komi would only play a few games as Stanford hockey didn't play that many their selves. Komi would impress some of these coaches with his ability to make saves and just his reaction time as well. From there Komi would obviously finish out his Football days and be wondering if the NFL was truly what he wanted. He had his degree, but he really wanted to give Hockey a good shot before he just tried to get a job. So with help from coaches and his dad. They found the Victory Hockey League. They saw they allowed anyone to enter into their league within reason of course. So Komi signed himself up and Is set to make his debuts in the minor league. Komi hopes to hone in His Quarterbacking skills to be used In between the pipes. Komi may not be living His fathers dream, but he's living a dream of his!

Ben Laas - Poke Checking PC

Well Ben Laas has officially done 4 seasons as his season did end due to losing to the bears. Though he can't say he's too upset as winning the cup last season was an amazing thing to do with the teammate's ben has! He's enjoyed every second in D.C and he is a dragon for life. Sure, Ben hasn't reached his potential like I'm sure others thought he would, but I would think Ben plays his role the best way he knows. Defense. Playing true to his position Ben prides himself on stopping the best scorers in the game and laying hits on opposing players. 4 seasons really has gone by fast. I Will never forget his time with the redwolves. So far Ben doesn't have any awards to show, but he has a cup and that's something many fight their entire careers to have a shot at. For now, Ben Is happy, but He's not satisfied. You already know we're going to be fighting for another cup next year!

bears force game 7 ooohhh man bears fighting!

WOOOOO DRAGONS WE DID IT!!!! Gg’s london, but wow what a feeling!

You know i probably needed this laugh with how shitty our seasons going

Well the Dragons started out strong, but man it has been anything but strong lately as you could see the depressed expressions on all the players faces during practices and especially during games we'd lose. Though our biggest failure this season was to get shutout by Moscow... Where were supposed a high powered offense after last year. It's just been heartbreaking to have to see our GM Frostbeard unsure of what's going on as well as this D.C dragons team had such high expectations so just for them to be dipped at the beggining of the year like this has hurt bad. We did finally get 2 wins today though so that definitely felt good as It was against a pretty good malmo team and an okay Calgary squad. Now we just need to lock in and figure this winning thing out, though I expect Frost to be shopping to try buy and sell and make us a better team this year. Though It all depends on Frost from here. D.C Dragons must come together!

The Wait is over the offseason is over. The game time is now. All the hard work managements have made to either retool their rosters or build up their rosters are now going to be displayed out on the ice. We will see If teams made the right choices or the wrong ones. Remember if you pick against the dragons its the wrong one. GO DRAGONS! Ben is hyped up for this season as who wouldn't be with plenty of promise. The Frenchman being added, VLG AND JASON BACK? Holy moly dragons. Plus the young and growing defenseman in calaway and Laas himself with the explosive season last year Sakamoto. Plus don't let me forget Gamble was called up! Which i believe ESD is a rookie as well so plenty to be happy here in D.C for. the D.C Dragons started the season of amazingly as they are showing that high powered offense, though It seems some teams are humbling us as we have seen some more losses as of late. Though you see the effort and talent still out there for the dragons. Though we are one of the offenses in the league with these last losses we've saw our Goals against rise, so I'm sure that's something coach will be focusing on with our defensive effort and the defenseman as a whole. D.C dragons will turn it around and make adjustments regardless long season ahead of us.

1. Well were forever gonna joke with his last name, but were taking a gamble on him. I believe he definitely has talent, but during the draft i saw the other talented guys, but obviously myself I'm a more support defenseman. Gamble will be the future of the dragons though. 2. Well with us both being young and the defenseman of now, I figured I'd get to know the guy as he Is a bit more talented then me as he's only a year older. So I've been asking for pointers where I could as we both may be young, but It's always good to ask questions. 3. Oh It definitely has to motivate them and they are well deserved, but the real award is that cup and were coming. 4. I Think we operate as a team wherre other squads rely on just a few talented players. I believe we work hard as a team so I would expect to be maybe 3rd overall? and 2 in our respective conference. Though you know were shooting for 1st! 5. Well I for sure make sure to eat a sandwich before the game and pray before I hit the Ice. 6. It would be cool look wise, I personally never watched Game of Thrones and not sure what HOD is lol. So I'll be grateful If I receive any though.

1. Well Jason had a great season for us and we brough In the Frenchman as he was a talented guy that Frost felt we could get on our squad. I look forward to see what he can contribute as he has said he's been disappointed in his own play. With how ryuji was able to rejuvinate his career. I believe the Frenchman will find success here regardless of the line choice. 2. Well two young guys getting to know each other out there just building chemistry. Or maybe they were gambling on a game of golf. lol 3. Well I appreciate the drama lol that they didn't get the 2nd part. Vincent is not good enough of a captain. He's great as our captain as he shows his worth and being a top player He fits perfect in the captain role for us. 4. Well I'll Say VLG and Jason are the now, but future wise Ben has to be up there so far as he's proving to be a pretty good defenseman. Mark Calaway Is that man though as he's only a year older than Ben and already looks to be exploding. 5. No simply no? lol wack media sometimes, trust that we are for real as last year was just letting the league know were here. 6. I mean I'm sure I could of earned more as my trivia has been bad, but Ben has been on the ice trying to make himself a great player as GM Frostbeard and the coach have given ben some advice on areas to improve, they aren't pushing him or forcing him. Just giving him the best advice they can give.

The Offseason continues, but there can be happiness found in the fact the Stars didn't win as being swept definitely stung in the 1st round after our bounce back season. Now we look to rework the roster as GM Frostbeard tries to make moves that are the best for the team as he traded for the Frenchman who hopefully can find success with us like ryuji did! Though Ben feels the pressure as the other young defenseman that was on the team Eric Queefson was recently traded due to a bit of inactivity. Though we do see now he had awoken. Which hurts, but we move forward regardless. Ben has been putting In work as I've been actively earning to try and upgrade Ben to be the best version of himself he can be. Ben has also been getting into the weight room to get some strength under his belt to keep guys off of him and to smack guys as well. For Ben this feels like the first offseason that Isn't so hectic as this time around he won't be moving to another team. He's a dragon and Ben signed a 3 year contract extension. Which means we'll continue to see Ben In a Dragons uniform. Which we also traded for a goalie prospect Clark, which we hope will develop and become a great goalie for us. So plenty to be excited about with Gamble being called up, so we have young talent trying to make way on the Dragons roster. For now we'll continue to work till the season starts.
