  1. Moscow, Russia - It didn't take long for Maverick to join his new team in their HQ. The young Swiss decided to watch the VHL Draft at home, and while there was a timezone difference in place since the draft was held in North America, it didn't take long for Maverick to hear his name called.

     

    With the 3-hour flight from Zurich to Moscow, Maverick signed his ELC on Russian soil, with the close support of Moscow's long-time GM, Euron Leonidas. The winger has already done a tour of the team's home facilities and is planning to stay with his new team for a couple of days before attending the VHLE Draft.

     

    With the contract signed with the lower-level bonus attached, Maverick will play a second season in the VHLE, but it's unclear if he'll be the number 1 overall selection again. During a quick conversation with the journalists, Maverick said, "I told you I was staying in Europe."

     

    But when asked about his VHLE plans, he shared that he had only had three conversations with GMs, and one of them was with Sjin, the Cologne Express GM, where he played this season. I left his view on the subject as well.

    "I expect to play for someone who first engages with me and sees if we're a fit. Other than Cologne, I've had discussions with Bratislava and Stockholm, and I'm not going number one. It's great to share our views with different characters and check for cultural fit. If nothing happens, I'll hopefully be going at three or five."

    1. The season didn't go as planned. What happened?

    2. Do you think the team's core needs to be adjusted to compete?

    3. What are your off-season plans?

    4. Who will win the Continental Cup, Seattle or London?

    5. We're saying goodbye to a Wrangler legend in Phil Strasmore. Any words?

    6. You're stranded on a deserted island with your teammates. Who would you want on your survival team and why?

  4. Zurich, Switzerland - As we edge closer to the off-season, most teams have packed their belongings and started working on season 94. In the VHLM, the Wild have won the Founders Cup, and in the VHLE, the Oslo Storm are up 3-1 on the Vasteras Iron Eagles.

     

    We're in for the last week of hockey this season! And draft talk is increasing by the minute, with the hopeful fans of teams around the league waiting to see if their team takes advantage of one of the best draft classes we've seen.

     

    One of these prospects is Maverick Goncalves. The Swiss Winger has been spotted around Zurich with his girlfriend, who seems to enjoy the off-season shopping spree.

     

    Approached by fans around the Bahnhofstrasse, one of the most exclusive Avenues in the World, Maverick wasn't shy about some of the questions people were asking him, with one video catching the following exchange.

     

    "Hey, Maverick! Wo glaubst du, wirst du nächste Saison spielen?" This roughly translates to a fan asking where Maverick thought we would be playing next season, and the answer was, "Wherever I want."

     

    With the VHL Lottery happening later in the week and Maverick's projection to go top 3 in the VHL Draft, we're not sure he'll play wherever he wants, but well... That's a soundbite!

  5. Hello, everyone! The Leafs won so that's some extra motivation to give you all extra TPE!

    1. As we edge closer to the end of the season, we've found ourselves improving our game. How good does that feel?

    2. Can we keep it going for the foreseeable future?

    3. What will it take for us to grab that wildcard opportunity?

    4. Do you think a wildcard team can make a difference in the playoffs?

    5. Talking of playoffs... are you supporting a playoff team in the Stanley Cup Playoffs?

    6. If you could create a new rule for hockey, what would it be?

  8. Cologne, Germany - As the season progresses toward its end, teams outside of contention start to make their offseason plans clearer. This week's rumor involves Maverick Goncalves, the Express winger who ignored the opportunity to play his eligible season in the VHLM, instead choosing to move up to the VHLE, where he's facing harsher competition.

     

    His preference for playing in Europe came to light during the last off-season when he was interviewed during a Continental Cup Finals game. He then stated he wasn't leaving, creating a whirlwind of rumors regarding his future in the VHLM and a subsequent tour around Europe to visit different VHLE cities and teams.

     

    Some General Managers have already started working on this season's draft class, as some VHL teams are already out of playoff contention. There are rumors that HC Davos Dynamo was the first team to reach out to Maverick. Not only would this allow the Goncalves family story to continue, but it would also enable Maverick to play in his home country. After all, Davos was the first place Maverick saw after being born on the flight that took his father, Leandro, from Seattle to Davos.

     

    Given the rumors surrounding Maverick, this surely won't be the last piece it's written about this.

    I gotta say, I saw this notification and I thought that this was about to be something worse based on the topic title. My first thought was "oh shit, did they make theme week, hate on Marlins week?" On your question tho, no. I would not change the current logo to this logo. Partially too dark and not enough colors. Although solid idea

     

    Ahahah! Imagine that being the actual theme.

     

    City rep jersey, though

  11. With the intent of connecting the team to the city, without the need to have the name slated on the logo, this would be my approach:

     

    JOc6pE4.png

    Since the outline of San Diego's skyline could be farfetched to recognizing the team, we could also have a lettering version,

    8r2OzBE.png

     

    At first, I had a more laid-back font, using the arch on the side of the crest, but a simpler, cleaner version works best. @Mysterious_Fish, would you make take the switch?

    Wow!!!  Thank you so much!  Great article.  Pumped that I found the VHL when I did.  Y'all are a great community. 

     

    It was about time this came out! My apologies for the tardiness. (I mean... Ninefingers is already in the VHL 🫣)

     

    Really glad you enjoy it!
