Originally we wanted training camps but people complained vhlmers get too much free TPE.

Neg, we making playoffs!

Incentive vs reward. You want to give them upfront points sure, I can understand that. But I prefer to reward the active ones that keep checking back, hence the achievement tracker and facility. Really speaking a large percentage of players never are interested enough to stay past the Vhlm, but the few that do are usually quality players and you want to reward their efforts. We don't want just any individual here, u want quality imo. You want th e people that make Pts, the ones that contribute.

What stops them from claiming then going inactive later? The practice facility is for them to check the website every week and the achievement tracker was just bonus points.

XXX be hitting people!

Sorry, was I supposed to be tanking?

IKR? Just hand me the cup now.

Wasn't one of the mighty ducks Hawaiian?

I don't know about you but I can't score 1.5 goals a minute even in practice lol.

So are we finally giving me a team in Asia?

1.5 goals scored a minute lol.

Devil you are Asian too? Korean hockey popularity is similar to AHL popularity plus a little bit. Recently Korea ranked 25 in div 1 by beating Poland. They have to reach 18th by 2015 to get into the next Olympics. Interesting to note I think they hold the record for biggest international win. The south Korean u18 beat Thailand u18 92-0.

You know all my characters are from Asia? Haha I've built a cult of Asian players here

Hockey is actually quite big in Japan and Korea, they just aren't div 1 members in iihf.

I've been applying to teams lol. I want one in Asia though to fitmy theme I've been ok letting newer people take over teams though but development of new players should be a high priority as well. I maybe mix more vets with new gms?

Sounds like a plan, where is jardy? We need admin access I'm assuming for redirects.

You can tell the google robot to not crawl our old pages too which should take them out of the listings. http://z11.invisionfree.com/vhl/index.php? Is the site in question we should update the banner so that it leads here. That website is the first link when you google "Victory Hockey League" so I think its worth it to go over there and redirect it to here instead of typing links.

Can we get a link update submitted to google? Also another thing when I was trying to access the website from a public computer, can we make the old website banner take you directly here instead of making the person manually type in the address? Thanks.

This is more the fault of some GMs more so than others. When IR and Corro (I think you were...) were GMs they took everybody they could via free waivers because they knew the experience sucks if nobody picks you up, there are also GMs out there that only half ass it anyways and don't consider the bigger picture and that is where the problem lies. When I was commishing the VHLM I either assigned people to teams at certain points in time and told GMs to pick up guys or I would slot them in for them. I didn't follow everything by the book back then honestly, I had a mandate to do and for the most part it worked out as that generation of VHLM players turned out for the most part into active players. There needs to be a better understanding of claiming new players over concerns of tanking (which should be discouraged at all costs, even to the point where I was going to make all picks lottery picks, but then I retired before going ahead to implement it) Also I had an idea on the back burner I was going to use for for the VHLM, this might be the time to do so. Waiver players can be assigned to each of the VHLM teams via region pick (kind of like in soccer, where you grow young talent and have first dibs in your own region). How is region determined you say? Random number assignment. Certainly it means one region may end up with more waiver players than another but it was an idea I had not fully detailed out but certainly could be put to use here. so instead of a waiver priority, players are randomly assigned to teams when they join, meaning no player is left out because a GM is unwilling to use their waiver priority.

Pass to me more Smarch!

Dont you guys have a max game played limit?

HC Dynamo Meute Bears Legion

Oooh really like the style, can we get a jersey change on it though? American Blue colors? the logo perhaps?

It'd be a Hasek v Roy v Brodeur debate.

Phew, I keep my wins record
