Biography of Xander Finn Early Childhood and Upbringing Xander Finn was born in Toronto Canada to Fabio and Deborah Finn. Fabio, an aspiring actor/model made very little money, but Deborah was a cheerleader for the Toronto Maple Leafs. As a child Xander attended every Leafs home game and basically spent any and all of his free time playing pond or street hockey. Deborah’s contract promised her security until the Leafs produced their next Stanley Cup, so with her very strong job security the Finns were able to promote Xander’s budding interest in hockey when he turned five. Xander quickly proved to be a prodigy at the local level and continued to hone his craft until the GTA proved to be a little too stifling for his growth. At age 14 Xander packed his bags and left his home behind to enroll in the Daniel Braxton School of Hockey in New York City. Xander was very familiar with Braxton’s legacy, for as he grew older he wasn’t satisfied with only watching Leafs games. Eventually he started sticking around for Toronto Legion games and became much more engrossed with the VHL. During his youth he was always impressed with Braxton’s play whenever the Legion squared off against the New York Americans, and was thrilled to study under the Hall of Famer’s tutelage. Deborah Finn with her coworkers High School The Daniel Braxton School of Hockey was not your average high school. It was a school that completely disregarded traditional educational values such as math, science or history and focused solely on hockey. A program that definitely would be illegal but Braxton hired Jack Black to be the principal, and Black had a lot of experience in faking a curriculum based on his experience filming “School of Rock”. With the American education system in the toilet is proved easy to run a school that spent all its time teaching hockey. Instead of being placed in classes the players were placed on teams, each with their own head coach. Their mornings were spent doing fundamentals, things like skating, puck handling etc. Their afternoons spent in scrimmages with other teams. On Friday and Saturday evenings they would have regulation games as well, in a school wide league that would impact their grades significantly. Finn’s freshmen year he was placed on the Red Team as their 3rd pairing defenseman. Excelling at skating, checking and defense he found himself with decent stats for a freshman. Freshman Regular Season GP G A P +/- H SB 15 2 9 11 +3 17 18 The Red team failed to make the postseason in Finn’s freshman year, but he was one of the 6 players on the team invited back for the following year. The rest were fired by Braxton in a Gordon Ramsey-esque ceremony. His Sophomore year found Finn transferred to the Blue Team and upgraded to 2nd pairing along with 2nd PK privileges. Along with his usual focus on skating and defense he put a little more effort into passing. Sophomore Regular Season GP G A P +/- H SB 15 2 15 17 +6 19 20 The Blue Team did manage to make the postseason and made it out of the first round in 5 games, but failed in the quarter finals after 5 games. Sophomore Postseason GP G A P +/- H SB 10 2 8 10 +1 12 13 Finn was again returned to the Blue Team in his Junior Year, this time placed in the 1st pairing and on the 1st PK unit. Finn put a lot of effort into becoming better at puck handling in addition to his other strengths. Junior Regular Season GP G A P +/- H SB 15 4 17 19 +6 21 24 Despite a promising start to the season the Blue Team ended up missing the postseason when their goalie broke his leg halfway through the season. Their replacement goaltender was basically swiss cheese and despite the team playing well they were unable to pick up many wins. Heading into his Senior year Finn was absolutely at his peak. Along with being on the 1st pairing, 1st PK unit and the 2nd PP unit, Finn was also made an Alternate Captain for the Blue Team. He finally decided to try and round out his play by putting a little more effort into scoring. Senior Regular Season GP G A P +/- H SB 15 9 19 28 +10 23 26 Heading into the postseason Finn knew a lot was on the line for him. It was his final year and job opportunities were difficult to come by for pro hockey players. Braxton rated all the graduating seniors and passed the results on to agents who could help players get minor league deals. The Blue Team had a relatively easy path to the finals, winning the first round in four games, the quarter finals in five games and the semi finals in four games. The finals turned into a seven game slugfest with the Green Team with 3 games going to overtime and the seventh game going to triple overtime with the Blue Team squeaking out a win. Senior Postseason GP G A P +/- H SB 20 11 22 33 +4 27 29 Principal Black at a pep rally Post Secondary At graduation Finn found himself approached by Braxton and asked to attend a private meeting. Finn joined Braxton in his office and was introduced to a tall skinny man in a suit. The man introduced himself as Kyle Snow, the man who once represented Braxton himself as his agent all those years ago. He’d been retired for nearly a decade after his previous player, Jax Barnstormer had slipped into a coma after attending practice blindfolded and helmetless.Snow had become little more than a myth to VHL newcomers but he was about to make his triumphant return and was offering his services to Finn as his agent. The two quickly struck a deal and Snow soon after had Xander Finn on VHLM waivers. Daniel Braxton and Xander Finn on the way to meet with Kyle Snow

My first Devise three paragraph post since I've been back... I've missed you old friend

Dude tell them in your profile how godly you are at Megaman X. I was like 30% willing to bone you from that and I'm straight as an arrow...

Yeah, I rolled high on my diplomacy check. Kyle must have rolled a 1

Yeah but you only have Saskatchewan to compare it to, and that place is the Texas of Canada.

FIX IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm the Philip J. Fry of the VHL.

I'd rather see Meg in charge.

Sorry, it hated you!

Oh I don't think anyone expects them to be finished before playoffs start, but we should start doing them beforehand. Nobody's going to say "Yeah but look at his playoff stats" when we are halfway through the first round. They shouldn't be saying it at all, but such has been life in the past.

HEY WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO NYA SENOR CHANG?! @JardyB10 EXPLAIN YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why is TOR RW 3 on NY?

You did that already and you hated it. I'm making myself the CEO.

That is a great thread, but I figured this one could be more of a community thing. Kyle did some great work but I'm sure everyone has some weird stories. Plus not everything weird always happens in text form.

Speaking as a Canadian, you guys are like the third most laughed at state behind Alabama and Georgia.

That was always the issue before. It sucks being out of the major league, but it sucks SOOOOO much more getting rocked and coming out of your first season with like, 3 points. My first time around I actually really enjoyed my time in the VHLM. The team atmosphere was really positive and most of the crew stuck around until draft day. I agree the current system could probably be improved, but elimination isn't the way to do it. It's something we've been working on for years, and it's definitely better than it was back in the day, but there is always room for improvement.

Most of us have at one point or another engaged in the game of swipes. My strangest one involved a girl who recognized me from work (I'd served her and her sister a few times). We met up at a park and went for a walk with her and her dog, and before long we headed back to her place to partake in some marijuana (I had a brief stint with the pot that summer). We hooked up that night and did so a few more times until one time she decided that it would be fun to bring a knife into the bedroom, thinking it would be sexy for some reason. At this point I decided that I didn't really want any dismemberment with my sex and attempted to excuse myself from the situation. This was easier said than done as I was a little bit handcuffed to the nightstand. Long story short I did talk my way out of the situation and luckily have not seen the girl since. Also where the Tinder gods taketh away, they occasionally giveth, as the next girl I talked to is my current lady. She's great, and hasn't even a little bit tried to stab me yet. Anyone else have any good stories?

This one @boom Would you rather never meet anyone from the VHL IRL or meet them all one by one, but be unable to reveal your true identity? @Draper we already know what you'd pick you son of a bitch!

She's number 6 now, don't worry.

T-Hawk was the worst character in Streetfighter II!

Reg season awards done before playoffs and the playoff ones done after. I can't recall how many time I saw a GM justify a vote for a Top D or an MVP based on playoff performance.

I return just in time for this year's edition. 1. @brovy Fuck you Kesler, I come back for a whole day and you havent' said a fucking word. What kind of an inactive piece of shit are you> 2. @eaglesfan036 You want to be at number 1? Jokes on you, you cum-guzzling super tramp! 3. @Mr. Power Seriously Device? I've been gone all this time and you still haven't changed your name back yet? You're the worst. 4. @Advantage All you ever have to do is roll better than a 3, and you hit 2 like its your fucking job or something! Can you please stop using those weighted dice? You fucked them up HORRIBLY! 5. @JardyB10 Do people still make rigging jokes? Because rigged. Also how the fuck have you not died of alcohol poisoning yet? Also who the fuck moves from Saskatchewan to Texas? The fuck is the point of that? Texas is the Saskatchewan of the States you turd.
