Hey VHL @Members!
 
In case anyone isn't aware July 18th, 2007 is the day the VHL opened. "Umbrella" by Rihanna was topping the charts, the Anaheim Ducks were celebrating their Stanley Cup win, and the VHL was opening it's doors! That means today marks the league's official 15th birthday. Every year I'm surprised when I type this that it's been so long and this year is no exception as I will be marking the official point where I've been in the VHL longer than I was out of it within this calendar year; fucking crazy. You all didn't click on this to read about how old I am though, I've been around the block long enough to know that. You came in for the TPE and I intend on delivering it!
 
To commemorate the league's 15th birthday, we are giving all members a Triples Week, which adds 12 Uncapped TPE to any 6-TPE Point Task (Welfare/Pension/Affiliate PT are not included but as usual if your pay covers your PT that counts), as well as 3 Uncapped TPE. To claim these perks, which of course add up to 15 Uncapped TPE, all you need to do is post in this thread and then link to that post in your update; that's it! No scavenger hunt, no clues, no catches!
 
What's that? Uncapped TPE isn't enough for you? Well so be it, how about some prizes then!
 
Not only are we giving TPE away but once again we're also giving away some bonus items because what's a birthday without presents? Anyone who comments on this thread, thus getting the bonus mentioned above, will be entered into a draw for some prizes. Some will be league based, some will be real items. I'm not going to tell you what they are yet though, you just need to wait and see don't you? What I will say is in honour of the 15th anniversary there will be 15 winners!
 
So, to summarize quickly, that's 15 uncapped TPE just for commenting and doing a PT as well as some gifts at a later date curtesy of the VHL. All you have to do is post in here and you're good to go!


 
Notes:
• This thread will remain open until 11:59PM PST on Sunday, July 24th.
• All claims for the birthday bonus must be made by the end of the playoffs this season.
• Birthday perks may only be claimed on one player per member (IE if you are re-creating you can't claim them on your current player, re-create, and claim them again, pick one or the other).
• No prizes can be exchanged for cash value however, as always, you may receive a prize from a lower "tier" if you prefer.

1. Partying with the boys.
2. Shark week obviously.
3. Yessir
4. to hangout with my wife and kids.
5. Harry for sure that guy is amazing on offense and defense.
6. when life gives you lemons make lemonade 

Outside of Arena of Ondrey Nepela in Bratislava

GM John Frostbeard steps up to the podium on a scorching summer day with a beautiful cone of blueberry ice cream in his hand:

"Here we are, Season 83 Renaissance cup champions looking to repeat the beautiful run we had! Truthfully, I couldn't be more proud of our team, of everyone's hard work and energy that was given to our team in the playoffs. We were the better team and we proved it. Right now, we are as always looking forward to our next adventures on and off the ice and for that, well, you need someone to lead you, to show the best path, maybe not the easiest or the prettiest but a path that will lead our team to greatness. I am sure that the new Captaincy crew of Bratislava Watchmen will do exactly that! We are the Watchmen, we always find a way to succeed! Alright, let's get to the most important part here!"

And the Captaincy trio of Season 84 Bratislava Watchmen is going to be: 

Firstly, the A will be worn by our own returning player, dominant and loved all across Slovakia and his home country of Sweden, the player without whom our championship run wouldn't have been possible -  Harry Hagel @jasplunds

Secondly, the A will be worn by another returning player, a Centre forward who was a vital part of our team last season, a player who defines hard work and excellence, future VHL superstar from Canada - Jack Hextall @Jack Feriancek

And finally, the captain of S84 Bratislava Watchmen is a player who joined our team not long ago, was our 1st round Draft pick in this season's draft, a player who has managed to put everyone on this team in awe due to the impeccable skills and attitude on ice - soon to be knighted by the Queen Elizabeth II - Fraser Wallace @Hoopydog

Congratulations and we will see you all on the ice!

1. I am still confident on us making the playoffs yes. I think we will be the underdogs.
2. I think the backup should be able to play as much as he can.
3. I don’t really have a guy who I think is the best. I think we are just a team first group.
4. 8 cause we are the best.
5. Cheese and pepperoni.
6. Probably baby daddy. It’s a show on Hulu.

1. Yesterday it was "Labor Day" in Portugal. How sucky are holidays on the weekend?
 
Well we usually get the next working day off because we are a lazy bunch, so I don't really mind. 

2. We're currently on a 4-game win streak. How long can we extend it?
 
Theoretically, the rest of the season, realistically, 5-10 games at best. The opposition is high quality. 

3. Hammar Voss is currently leading the team in goals. Are you looking for him when you have the puck so he can snipe it home?
 
Well that's me, so in all honesty, they are probably lucky deflections so I wouldn't read too much into the total! 

4. Does your player have a pre-game ritual? Or do you have or had one?
 
No I don't. I tend to be sceptical of those kinds of things. 

5. Our GM, Frosty, is very open with team management decisions. Do you like his approach?
 
Yes, it's refreshing to have a GM that likes to be so open and inclusive of his players. 

6. Would you play the NFL draft like Gutekunst if you were the Packers' GM? (Just reply "No.", please)
 
Because you asked so nicely, no I don't think I would follow the Gutekunst example. 

1. I would think that would be the best time cause usually everyone is free.
2. I think we can go to double digits.
3. Yes. I am usually the set up guys.
4. My pre-game ritual is I listen to the song “baby come back” by player.
5. I don’t mind it as long as we are winning games.
6. No.

1. I think we are and I think we will win the cup.
2. I think he was trying to find where they buy their donuts cause those things are good and if he was I support it.
3. I will give it a 8/10
4. I think those were smart moves to help us out this year.
5. No because it’s not our team and they might finess us.
6. Yes I think I have done what I can and I believe I will have a break out year. 

Very very nice

@Jack Feriancek

Ivan Retoslav was found drunk in an alley the other night. He was celebrating an amazing season with his teammates when he suddenly wandered off and they couldn't find him. Many beleieve that this will cause his draft stock to drop. Most teams do not want their players to have the public image of being a drunk who always manages to get in trouble. Although this is the first time he's done it in Houston, this is not the first time it has happened. Back in the S81 JST, Retoslav went and got drunk after scoring his first goal. He was also there when his teammate Babushka in San Diego stole $500 from DJ fire dragon at a bar. Only time will tell if this will drop him out of the possible top 15 candidates. Retoslav himself said that he was very embarrassed about the encounter and even more so thanks to the fact that it was Hammar Voss (the #3 candidate in the S82 draft) that found him in the alley. We didn't mention the fact that he was also playing poker for a beer bottle with a homeless man, even if he's a future star he is still breaking laws. The police let him off with a warning this time, but said that if it happened again that he would be fined very heavily. Retoslav has promised to not get drunk again.

1. I think our goal tending and defense.
2. That’s me abs I’m happy to get my first ever point. Now I just need a goal.
3. I am proud of our team and I’m proud the boys in net are playing well.
4. I have no clue but to guess I would have to say Ashton Komaryk
5. i saw them and I love them.
6. Probably the Canadians beating Vegas.

1. I feel confident and I think we can win it all.
2. I agree. I think their are hidden talent on all teams and it will all show on the ice.
3. I am very excited and I am 100% willing to help out.
4. I have ran out in my underwear and jumped into snow for fun.
5. This is my first one and I feel amazing and I am excited to be apart of this team.
6. I am confused like really confused.

Ok here we go. Most of you will love this topic and most of you will be like “it’s rookies I will care after their third season.” But it’s something that needs to be talked about in my opinion. Ok first off, I’m going to cover a lot of stuff examples: name some rookies that are not playing as well, and name some that are playing really well, talk about expectations and maybe even draft stuff and rankings. Now I’m new to this sort of topic so bear with me here. Ok first off, we all know rookies have big expectations in the VHL. Like me my self or my player Jack Hextall is expected to preform as well as I can. I may not be for these dirt 6 or so games I’ve played but that is ok. But when GMs are looking for players and they send you an offer to start off the season they are basically saying “hey we think you will be something join our team” you better accept that offer and try your hardest to work and show them what they are signing. Now I know you wont be on that team at the end of the season cause the draft but show off well your there, become a team player, and most importantly have fun. Also, bear with me on my grammar it won’t been 100%. Anyways try to upgrade your player as much as you can and maybe over achieve and do point task like I am here on writing a rookie report. Over achieve big word you will hear by coaches for the rest of your career rookies so get use to me saying that word. Anyways if your not doing your best to start off I think maybe give it 10-20 games till you get your first few points cause it’s taking me that right now and I am not stressing on it. That’s why I’m making this article because I want to get the points. In addition, teamwork is a big thing when it comes to the VHL. You should always get involved in the discord chat talking to your teammates, getting to know everybody, and etc. that is a deal breaker in the VHL community is getting involved. Say hi to the GM get to know some of your guys and if they have some meme pages post on them make everyone laugh. If they have a number counter add to the number counter to start adding that baby up. Little things like that can get you involved in a big way. Adding on to teamwork and discord maybe ask the guys how their days going listen in and just have a good conversation with them. That is always needed in the chat especially if your team is In a slump just saying “hey boys we got this” can make a big difference. Lastly, look at the announcements for TPE opportunities because those are game changers also shout out to my GM who post those and takes the time to let me know that “hey TPE opportunity here” y’all are amazing.
 
      Second, I’m going to try and go for a lot of words but we will see how much I get lol. I want to take this last paragraph to talk about players. 

Jack Hextall:
Now this is my guy and no I ain’t going to be biases but I will admit he’s in a slump. I’ve got 0 points in 6 games I think and my faceoff % is really bad. Then again coach is barely playing me which is a big factor and Jack just started playing but I ain’t going to use that as an excuse. I want to be a leader and a point maker that’s why I play hockey. Sure I’m a big chirper in the locker room and everyone likes having a talkative person in their to say hello and get involved but on the ice Jack is different he can get to the net and can’t win faceoffs and again I bet this will change but as of now need to fix something and needs to figure out his stuff soon.
 
Miervaldis Arpa:
I feel as if I should do a goalie and a player and this guy has some talent. Was drafted 22nd overall which is crazy by the The Mississauga Hounds who still plays for them and this man is talent might I tell you. This is his fist real year and this kid is lights out for the Hounds. Gifted from the start and always will be and shows no sign of stopping which is crazy. Stats are 24W, 8L, SV%: .891,GAA: 2.65, and 3 shutouts. So his save % is not that high but those wins and loses and GAA is amazing and plus 3 shutouts mans is lights out. I don’t have a lot to say but he I just amazing. His has been amazing from the start and also shows no sign of stopping amazing goal tender right here.
 
Ragnar Hagstrom:
get a load of this guy. Defenseman drafted 7th overall by what we’re known as the Minnesota Storm and now plays for The Ottawa Lynx and this kid has been amazing from the start as well. He is over a point per game by a long shot 40 GP, 28 G, 35 A, 63 P, +/- of 13 which is what you want. This kid shows no sign of stopping. He keeps getting better and better and I’ve heard is fun in the locker room and loves talking to the guys and getting together with them after games and hanging out. Big chirp and I feel as if he is not talked about enough in the league and is kind of a hidden gem rn for that Ottawa team and is that break out defensemen that they needed. 

 
     In summary, I talked about what you need to be a good overall rookie and to be known around the league as a good teammate and a good player. Also, I added to get those TPE tasks in and get those points cause it’s worth a lot and helps out the team. In addition, I talked about a few players Jack Hextall who’s waiting to break out, goalie Miervaldis Arpa who is playing amazing for the Hounds and is a teammate of Jack’s, and lastly, Ragnar Hagstrom a hidden gem I feel and a break out player that could get a defensive player of the year award very soon.

good job, its always nice to see a new name trying a media spot. Don't worry about your performance to bad, everyone including myself start slow in the league. You will upgrade your player and one day you're player will pop off. I love you're analyst to the players at the end, it add a nice touch. That media spot just prove that VHL GM need to keep an eye on Jack Hextall ad he can be a steal in the later round. 8/10
