1 yes, they are usually well written and informative. 2. I listened to first one today for a bit. Too long imo 3. Not really. Usually forget they exist. 4. @Gaikoku-hito are good ones. @Thunder and @ScottyP oh wait he doesn’t write any. 5 Not sure. Can’t understand why we’re not. So much firepower it has to pick up soon. 6. No, boys just letting off some steam. 7. Bourbon of course.

Welcome @special ed

Awesome!

Miami Marauder Press Conference- Week of March 30, 2005 1. March Madness is here, and people are crazy to get their brackets right. Are you participating? If so, how is it going? 2. Basketball is one of those sports I rarely watch until March Madness and never watch a pro game. Do you? 3. Were ¼ through the season and it’s been tough for Miami with the re-build in effect. Is your player performing well for you? 4. What is your least favorite way to earn TPE? 5. Alex Ovechkin is just 7 goals away from The Great One’s goal record. Are you sad to see Wayne lose the record? or Happy a modern player has it? 6. Riddle: Two in a corner, one in a room, zero in a house, but one in a shelter. What am I?

@Smarch

Beauty!!!

I am a total noob at Graphics! They will hopefully get better. @ScottyP

Always love the VHL lore articles. Thanks !

The season has FINALLY started and even though my Vancouver Wolves are off to a slow start I am just excited to finally see box scores again. The start of the season always has some fun stuff to do like VHLFL and Super Coach and even thought my fantasy draft took a bit, I am pretty stoked about my club. I was in the middle of the lineup to draft but I was able to get some beauties in this order: D- Callum Gary Yannick Janser @Daniel Janser D-Bollos de Trueno @Thunder F-Riley Martin @Smarch F-Axle Gunner @Steve G- Soju @Frank F- Severus Targaryen @Banackock Pretty excited to see these animals lead me to 6 TPE this season. VANCOUVER WOLVES UPDATE: The Wolves always seem to start slow, and this season was no different. 3 straight losses before finally winning two-both wins shutouts. A quick trade as well adding Elf Shoes @ELF_SH0ES and Matthew Highmore @NineIQ which will help immensely. Scoring seems to be down for the offensively gifted club with only 22 goals on the season. There is some good news for the Wolves though. The Great One- Wayne Gretzky @MubbleFubbles has been tearing it up with 11 points (6 goals) and line mate, Pierre Marc Bouchard @Gaikoku-hito is 10 points in 8 games. The Wolves need some depth scoring and for team captain, Logan Ninefingers to pick up his game a bit, but the season is still early. Team Stats: Wayne Gretzky- 6g 5a 11 pts PMB- 5g 5a 10pts Riley Martin- 3g 7a 10 pts Bollos de Trueno 1g 8a 9pts TORONTO CRUSHING THE LEAGUE When I was doing my predictions, I looked through the clubs I must have been snoozing cuz I didn’t look at Toronto very well. In a city that is the epicenter of the hockey in the world this club has come out firing. Led by their goalie, Dalkr Vidarsson @KaleebtheMighty who is 7-0-1 with a shutout. In his 7th season now, Dalkr has over 200 career wins, 30 shutouts, and a Scotty Campbell and Aidan Shaw trophy to his name. Led in points by defenseman Andrew Skilton @ace_five_ with 3 goals and 13 assists they also have some meat eaters in Spanish Moon Moth @Renomitsu, Raimo Tuominen @SlapshotLegion, and an absolute killer in Toby Kadachi @ROOKIE745 who had over 400 hits last season in Chicago. BAZOOKA JOE SHAME POST Now I recruited my friend @ScottyP and he is on his second player, defenseman Bazooka Joe. He currently plays for the Philly Reapers in the VHLM and is having a decent season. When he was drafted 10 overall in S98 by the Malmo Nighthawks I spoke with his new GM, @LucyXpher. Now @LucyXpher wants to win and taking a pick like @ScottyP comes with risks. A good TPE earner but inconsistent I made a promise to @LucyXpherto shame him for updates so here is my league post doing just that. He came out decent to start the season but has not updated since March 9th. So today he gets a shoutout on here as well as personal text message that is too inappropriate to share. So please Bazooka Joe, keep earning so that @Thunder and I can pummel your face when you get to Malmo .

Bad ass!

This week’s Miami Marauder player spotlight is Assistant Captain, Ryan Mantzz #9. Mantzz @Rkhockey9 is a returning member to Miami after a short stint last season. Even though the youngster only has 42 career minor league games, he is a true leader and breath of fresh air to the re-building franchise. The #6 overall pick in the S98 draft to New York the kid possesses good hands, a fast skater, and a true 200-foot player. 3 goals and 3 assists in 8 games this season so far and tied for team lead with 14 blocked shots, showing that even though Miami is struggling he will do what it takes for the team. He is also one of two Miami players that is even on +/-. Always up-beat in the locker room the gifted winger I have no doubt that he will have a long and storied career in the VHL. Until then he will be lighting it up in South Beach.

Miami Marauder Press Conference – Week of March 23rd, 2025 1. The season has begun (finally). Has you player been playing well so far? 2. What superpower would you rather have? Invisibility or extreme strength? 3. St. Patrick’s Day is coming up. Any plans? 4. Season started and we just got our first win. Did you celebrate? 5. Are you a dog person or cat person? I’m dogs 6. Does your player have any pre-game superstitions? @Thunder @Megaman @BlueFalcon5433

bad ass graphic! Jortikka a beast !! Gonna lead my Super Coach team to a massive TPE victory

The season is almost upon us and this week’s Miami Marauder spotlight is on none other than Patrick Finnegan @JB123. The most recent addition to the Marauders comes an Irish center man whose owner has much agency in the VHL. An owner who not only had created great players but has been a management leader in the league as well. @JB123 has had 2 previous players in the VHL with 3 championships between them. A proven VHL leader the Marauders will look to lean on his experience as they try to compete for a coveted playoff spot. Finnegan will be asked to help a talented group of veteran forwards of Danny Ross @Spartakiller2, Ryan Mantzz @Rkhockey9, and Andreas Andreasen @Rjdixon01, In addition to newcomers, Viener Schnitzel @Spaz and Marcus Grey @BlueFalcon5433. The Marauders take the ice on Wednesday and are packed with a talented group up front and led by franchise defenseman, Dog Jagr @koty_k in the back end. Best of luck Marauders!

The off-season is almost finally over, and we can soon get back to some regular season action. We had some good events lately to include the VHLM/VHL awards ceremonies that I thought were some of the best ever. We also had two players, and a builder inducted to the Hall of Fame which I thought was pretty cool and well deserved. Hall of Fame inductees: Every season the Hall of Fame inductees come out and I find it to be one of the coolest posts of the year. We see some absolute legends in this game and it has to be hard to narrow it down with so many high earning players. This season however the two choices couldn’t be more spot on. Jacob Stone- D (Malmo) @scoop- this dude was an absolute menace and a career Nighthawk. His best season statistically was his last with 106 points. A career point per game player he won about every award you can think of but the Continental Cup. I am always partial to defenseman as that was the position I played growing up and the position of my first player in the VHL. Next was forward Nico Pearce @Spartan . The 10th overall pick in S81- the exact season I joined the VHL. A beast of a scorer, Pearce scored 774 points in 650 games. I did get the chance to play with Nico in Vancouver and we came just short of winning a Continental Cup in S89. His Hall of Fame induction is well deserved. Congrats to both these players!!! VHLM DRAFT The VHLM draft came with a flurry and It was a no brainer that Tina Hughes @tinafrombobsburgers went #1 to Mexico City. The highest TPE player in the draft and an extremely great locker room presence he will do great things for @vatt in Mexico. The true shock of the draft was Ryan Mantzz @Rkhockey9 falling to Miami at #11. I mean he’s second highest in TPE at the time of the draft and an absolute earner and gem for the league. Can’t imagine why GMs passed on him and they better be ready as Mantzz is coming for payback. Miami is happy to snag such a beauty. Great locker room guy and a player we are going to see special things from during his VHLM and VHL career. BAZOOKA JOE @ScottyP Well..Well….well. It is a rare pleasure when @Thunder and I get to bag on our dear friend @ScottyP. A first round draft pick for Malmo the defenseman, Bazooka Joe could be considered a “questionable pick.” On paper it looks like Bazooka had a great season last year in Philly with 15g 35a. @LucyXpher took a chance on BJ as he has spurts of greatness followed by bouts of disappointment (in mine and @Thunder eyes anyway). I had a quick chat with @LucyXpher and I promised to keep @ScottyP motivated to earn so that he can achieve the greatness we all hope for him. That being said @Thunder and I will be hounding him all season to make sure his TPE earning is up to Malmo standards! Be ready @ScottyP

Miami Marauder Press Conference- Week of March 16, 2025 1. The season starts Wednesday (finally). Has this off-season seemed especially long to you? 2. The NHL trade deadline came and went. Did your team improve at all with the trades? 3. Speaking of NHL trades, what was the biggest surprise trade in your opinion? 4. The VHL/VHLM awards came and went. Did you watch the presentation and what did you think of the presentation this year? I thought Lucy did an awesome job. 5. 2 players were inducted to the VHL Hall of Fame this off-season with Nico Pearce and Jacob Stone being added. Do you have aspirations for your player or future player to try and achieve a Hall of Fame career? 6. Would you like to see a VHLM All-Star game? @Thunder

Welcome back!!!

Awesome graphic! Thanks !

NY blueline is fierce!!! Go easy on me Girts!!

Debatable

Another week of off-season but a few exciting things have happened. The draft was a success and it’s fun to see teams adding some future game changers to the roster. I think there were some big winners in this draft especially Malmo, New York, Davos, and Warsaw. The New York draft picks hits home as both Tina Hughes @tinafrombobsburgers and Ryan Mantzz @Rkhockey9 were together in Miami last season. These pair of beauts were drafted #6 and #8 overall and If I am being honest, I think they are both steals at that spot and could have gone much higher. Both are hungry to earn and are the ULTIMATE teammates. Always upbeat and with good banter that keeps a locker room fresh. I really look forward to watching their careers grow and flourish. @STZ really did his homework and nailed it out of the park with these two. Best of luck New York!! And….. Make sure you feed Guntis @Girts before game time, he gets cranky. Malmo also had a very good (and bad) draft. @LucyXpher is a phenomenal GM and made the easy choice to draft a VHL legend’s player, Cardinal Copia @Beketov. A right winger with size who is already at 332 TPE. A guaranteed solid choice that will do great things in Malmo for years to come. Now @LucyXpherLucy next draft pick I have some concerns. She took Philly Defenseman, Bazooka Joe @ScottyP. A heavy, stay at home dman who had a good season in Philly with 15 goals and 35 assists and 204 hits. A mid-level earner who goes in spurts of great earning followed up with laziness and as my good friend @Thunder puts it, “A completely punchable face.” Now I know @ScottyP in real life, and we work together daily so I am certain that Thunder is right. His face is extremely punchable. In all seriousness, @ScottyP is a great choice and goof fit for the league. Consistency aside he will be a steady addition to Malmo. The best part is I have it in writing that IF I can get @ScottyP to earn TPE, @LucyXpher will allow me to punch him in the face during every pre-game skate they face off against Vancouver. Win Next up, Davos. Now looking at Davos roster I can see them easily competing for a Continental Cup. They have an amazing GM in @Alex who is constantly stiving to make his club better and seems to always end up on top in trades. With their first pick (#4 overall), Gingy @MexicanCow123 they solidified a generational talent in net. There next pick at #9 was Sydney Sheppard @GoodLeftUndone. An extremely talented center and affiliate 12 earner (always nice). A great locker room guy and plays center which is always a team need. Solid pick that gives Davos depth and a guaranteed earner for a career. So, my very first VHL team was in Warsaw and I won my first cup in Warsaw with some great players. Since that time in Season 84 the Preds have had some struggles. This draft though hopes to end those struggles. At #2 they took a solid puck moving defenseman In Peter Venkman @Josh. An easy pick at #2 who max earns and can lead your club from the back end for years. Next up was Zak Trokker @Peace at #10. Another great pick who’s owner has a long career in the VHL, to include a Hall of Fame build. At #11 they took first gen player Jakub Kovar @MichkovSzn. The left winger had a decent season in re-building Philly and shows good earning potential. They finished off with Kal El @Viper at #17, Daniel Novak @tworiversat 26 and David Pasta @Agito at 27th. The final picks are some good added depth provided they get to VHL. Hope everyone has a great week.

Welcome!!

Did you watch the draft stream? 3. New York drafted both Mantzz and Hughes together. With these to additions and the other moves they made, is NY a cup contender in a few years? 4. VHLM draft is soon (I hope). We have the 19th pick so far. Any players you think we should grab at 19? 5. Are you left-handed or right-handed? I’m a lefty 6.
