We are five days out from the start of the S97 season and truth be told, I am ready for another exciting season in Miami. The Season 97 draft came and went, and free agency is over and the Marauders are looking to be competitive this year and take home that elusive Founders Cup. So, let’s look in on the new additions to the S97 Miami Marauders. C-Sidney Sheppard -12th overall pick On the day of the draft the Miami draft room was frantic and tense. A surprise loss of two players prior to the draft created a lot of talk about adding a defender at the #12 spot, Miami’s first pick. However, as players fell off the board there was one that @Ricer13 was keeping an eye on, not believing this player would fall to 12. So, when our pick came and center, Sidney Sheppard @GoodLeftUndone was available, it was a no brainer that Miami would take this player. A solid user and already a Founder’s Cup champion in S96 in Sheppard’s short re-create stint. A solid two-way addition to an established forward unit featuring Elf Shoes, Jacob Longstreet, and Luc Moreau. The Marauders should be deadly up front and are looking to score first and often this season. D-Bob Bangkok- 20th overall pick At #20 the Marauders filled their need at defense by picking enormous defender, Bob Bangkok @Big Bob. 608 250 Bob steps into a team fielding just 3 defenders to start the season. Reminds me of a younger Guntis Gavilrovs. @Big Bob is an established VHL user who was a good steal at #20 and playing with Armas Jortikka and Don Jagr will allow Bob to grow into a shutdown defender for seasons to come. LW-Bam Morris @coachsj35- 34th overall At the 34th pick the Marauders selected First Gen, Bam Morris. A big bodied winger we are looking to bolster into a menace of a scorer. Morris adds much needed depth to the forward corps and if he continues to grow should add some nice depth in scoring and PK time. RW-James Harle @James Harle- 37th overall Another first gen player that fell into the lap of Miami in the later rounds. A smaller forward that, like Morris, will add some depth but will hopefully grow into a 200-foot complete threat on the ice. A few weeks of consistent earning will boost this player to pair nicely with the likes of Longstreet and Elf Shoes. Overall, despite being a frantic pace in the draft the Miami Marauders were very pleased with their selections. We have a pretty fun locker room, and we look forward to each of these members becoming part of the Marauder family for seasons to come. To all our additions, congrats on being drafted and for the newcomers, welcome to the VHL. The Marauders are in a win-now mode and after a tough loss to eventual champs Mississauga Hounds they are looking to come out hot and avenge that heartbreaking first round exit last season. Happy holidays

Miami Marauder Press Conference- Week of December 29, 2024 1. The Marauders were able to snag a gem of a player in Sidney Sheppard @goodleft at #12 spot in draft pretty much solidifying our offense. We are left with 3 defenders now; do you think it will be enough or will we need to add a defender eventually? 2. Are you staying home for the holidays or traveling? 3. If you could pick one NHL player (past or present) to join the Marauders, who would it be? 4. We lost to Mississauga in the playoffs last year and they went on to win it all. Does this make them our most hated rival this season? 5. Is the movie Die Hard considered a Christmas movie in your opinion? 6. Marauder defensemen, Armas Jortikka @Kavadarand Don Jagr @koty_k are set to become the top two leaders in hits all-time in Miami. Jortikka is 60 hits away from the top spot and Jagr is 121 away which both should easily hit. Pretty remarkable feat. What do you think the team should do to celebrate when they hit it? @James Harle -

Friday!!!!

On the 7th day of Christmas my true love gave to me.........FREE TPE

I was riding Martin's coattails!!!! And I will again this season all the way to a second Cup!! LOL Great article pal !

1. I think Ninefingers will have a banger year with Riley Martin on the wing. I will ride his coattails to 100 points. 2. Intimidation attribute. Added points will had a fear factor that causes turnovers to opposing members who "avoid hits, dump and chase, and basic fearitude" 3. Die Hard and Scrooged. Both are two of my favorite xmas movies. Questions: 1. Should an enforcer build be a valid advantageous build for VHL teams? and How? 2. Do you wish there were trophies given for off-season tournaments like Pro Am and WC for MVP, gold medals, etc? 3. If you were to create a new season trophy, what would it be?

On the 6th day of Christmas the VHL gave me Guntis !
