DontCallMeCarson

1. It's clearly working, so it is obviously a very good thing. Let's keep it up! 2. Just have to finish the job when the time comes. And beat Philly. 3. My family always goes to my Aunt's. She has a pool and we pretty are outside all day. Then we do fireworks at night. We're there for like 8 hours. It's tiring. 4. Could be better. But I am earning like crazy so eventually it'll work 5. Scoring. Which is what I'm doing. 6. Toootally. (I don't watch Hockey. I know Pittsburgh! Are they still good??)

"We have been moving along very well. Nice. I am happy and very content with that. Even when I am not performing at my best like I should be, I know there's a ton of teammates there to pick me up and also the team. It's more than I could ever wish for, and it has brought a lot of success to this city and to this team. If we continue to work and continue to strive in the same way that we have, I have no belief that we will get far. Even the front office believed this season would not be anything. That the team wouldn't get too far. We're completely going past the expectations that was set by the organization and the entire media. If that doesn't make you feel good, then I don't know what ever real. It definitely is a good day to be a San Diego fan, in my opinion. We're only getting better with each practice and each week. I think we can give Philadelphia a run for their money by the end of the season. I might be a little crazy there, but I genuinely believe it. So get ready for us at some point."

That's right Buckos, you can't get rid of me yet. Mr. DontCallMeCarson is here to become the new Commish of the league and even though I completely have no idea what the league does and the background stuff that happens, I promise I am going to do a good job (yeah right). So, you're probably thinking, "Well Carson, what exactly would you do?" Well, okay. If you wanna know so bad, then I suppose I will go ahead and let you know. I'll let you in on a little secret. This entire league is RIGGED. It's all scripted. The winner is already pre-determined. Don't let these corporate guys tell you otherwise, okay? Just listen to me. Your guy. Your pal. Carson. I am the real Commish that cares for the people, just remember that. So from now on, the VHL will only compromise of coin-flips to determine a winner of a game. That way there is no possible way to rig the games whatsoever. You don't even have to play if you don't want to! Both team captains will watch the coin flip and call it. Winner wins the game. Simple. Finally we'll have some parity in this stupid league. Alright, this is a good start. But there's still a lot more that Carson needs to do before I am impeached from my position. They're knocking on my door, breathing down my neck. I had to storm the office to even get in here. Alright, I probably shouldn't have said that. I'm probably going to be in jail after this article comes out by the VHL Gods, but regardless I am only trying to restore the peace that has been stolen from the citizens of this forum. I am almost like a religious individual. Maybe there should be a book written after me.. Alright, I am already getting off track. The San Diego Marlins are officially going to sign all new members of the league effective immediately. There is no more campaigning or recruitment. All members are to sign to the Marlins regardless if they want to or not. Remember that there is no free will in life, your life is already depicted and controlled without you knowing it. We're just giving you a nudge in the right direction now, that is all! Also, let's throw some Indiana Teams in the mix. Why is there never Indiana representation in these places? My goodness, it's like we're ignored. Are yall Stateist? Whatever you say, but I am taking the top TPE player in every position and putting them on these Indiana Teams. Cap Space? Oh, that doesn't exist for this team. It's a new agreement that the league agreed to with our expansion. What? That doesn't make sense? Well, you're just some bum on the street watching Hockey. I'm a corporate executive now making billions of dollars. So don't worry about it! Ah, shit. They're breaking down the door. Well, guess that was my Commish for the day. I barely got anything done! I'll be writing from Jail! Carson

Afonya Romanov

"Son, you're destined, Stop trying to throw it away. You're a Romanov. It's about time you represent." - Ignat Romanov ~~~~~~~~ Sometimes, I think back to that day. I was merely a kid, trying to grow up in the outskirts of Russia in a very small, unpopulated town. I grew up in that town, my whole life. It was a place there you would ultimately learn everyone's names, and the popular families ran the town from generation to generation. I bet that if I walked back into that town today that nothing has changed. We ended up leaving it, when I went more professional in Hockey. But that is not where the story starts, no? I was born into big family. My father was blacksmith. Very good one. He worked very close to government officials in nearby station to town. My mother stayed at home. Watched over the family. I had 4 brothers and 2 sisters, all which are older than me. I was the youngest, I suppose I had to grow up more quicker than I would have understood. Always having to watch my back because of the people around us, and my own family. They fought, they threw you down in the mud and kept you there. Everyday it was a form of survival. They were not abusive by any means, but it was never a day in heaven either. You had to pull weight in the family. I started working in farms, plucking everyday essentially since I was eight. At the same time I had to find time for education, looking over my entire family (even if I was the youngest), and other various things. Especially when my grandparents became ill when I was about 11. I was the only real person that had close connection to them, so I felt responsible and was my duty to aid them to the most I can. But 11 year best people can only do so much. They would eventually pass, only few months later. My father continued to work. He made it seem like nothing about it bothered him. That could not be true, though. At least for what I thought. But now as I am older and look back to it, maybe I was trying to read into things that did not exist. I do not know. School life was nothing crazy. Strict principles that kept you enforced and in your lane for the "representation of your motherland.", at least that's what they would tell us. From small ages to older, it was the same repeating processes: learn, get tested, move on immediately. All of that over and over again. They shove us with useless knowledge, they say we have to be the best prepared and educated country in case of anything happening in the world. I always thought that was such a weird thing to say, to mention to young audience. I, of course, never object. It would be stupid of me. Get me looked at with eyes of fiery. So I continued on my course and did not let up. I got older, I start to work out. My father, he wanted to be military man, like I suppose a lot of strict business fathers want their sons to do. 3 of my 4 brothers were already enlisted into army services, while my other was out of the country doing exploratory studies. He was the one I wished to achieve to be. He was the one who felt like he was living his own life that was not dictated by his country nor his relative family. I try to continue to take my mind off the millions of things that were growing through it. I pick up sports more often with other kids, although I was quite older and bigger at the time now. I was introduced to Hockey at about 13, maybe about 14. The ice became a place where I felt safe to be, where I was living that independent lifestyle that I wanted. Father wanted my focus on other things, but I refused. I stuck with my heart, and it causes rifts in the family. Unneeded tension, my mother said to me. I figured they would come around as some point. I was now 15, I played Hockey everyday. I was now playing for a club team where I thought I was holding my own. It felt good to be considered a great player, a star of some sorts. I felt like nothing was going to be wrong of me. I think that's where I finally felt myself be whole. I turned to now play on a professional level at the age of 16. I wished to continue this path to the highest ranks I could. My family was having financial problems, my father had lost his job because of some things that I still do not know to this day. My mind became fluttered with outside noise, the ice was the only way to avoid it. To skate. To strike. I believe that is why my rise to international fame came so fast. I got offers from VHLM coaches, they want me. I planned to finish season and immediately come over. But then my father unexpectedly died. They say they dont know the reason but I believe after my father lost his job, there was people wanting him gone. I do not know this for fact. I will probably never know. I stepped away from the game, for what I thought would be permanently. I wanted to go into army, like my Father would have wanted me to do. What he dreamed of. "Son, you're destined, Stop trying to throw it away. You're a Romanov. It's about time you represent." Those were my father's last writing to me. Hockey was my destiny. My father believed in my destiny. I had to achieve it. I had to finish it for him. For myself. I contact VHLM. I join San Diego. I am still writing the chapter of my story now. It is not over until I satisfy my father. From above the clouds. (Translated Biography. Interview brought to you by Russian Sports Top News.) (1018 Words)

In our last report of following the Russian Prodigy player, Afonya Romanov, had fully declared his recruitment and commitment to the VHLM team in San Diego, something that was floating around the surface for some time now. With it finally set in stone, Romanov was reported to be back in San Diego on a flight rather quickly to be able to star in his debut game against the Las Vegas Aces. To warm up for the performance, that was only a few days later, Romanov was reported on the ice hours before the game to practice, along with talking with teammates in the locker room (keep in mind, he really has had no time to communicate with anybody on the team besides the General Managers and office officials). When the team hit for the game, it felt like Romanov had always been apart of the team. In a 5-3 victory, Romanov shined amazing in a debut with 2 goals, leading the entire game for the most by a player on either team. After the game, Afonya did a quick press statement: "It feel really good being here, I think my performance was very good, very strong. If we continue to work together and play like that, we will move up the ranks and overtake higher teams and take home the cup to the city."

1. Philly. We gunning for the top. They're the top. 2. Doing really good. We believe in Clark! We've got the best in the biz. 3. Nah, not yet. Still getting back into the swing of things. 4. Gaming, music, basketball, I would say those are the main things really. 5. I've been to South and North Carolina that's about it. 6. Dark. I can't stand black on white.

Afonya Romanov, the Right Wing star of Russia, moves over to VHLM. Romanov, age 17, reported late last night that the move to the VHLM would come after a successful season in Russia that saw the star gain international spotlight in what felt like an overnight sensation. The news did not come to shock for many, as Romanov had been planning on making the jump for a while before it was put off due to personal matters that caused him to miss a slate of games. The reasons for missing these is still completely unknown, Romonov has refused to give any statement to the press towards any mention of it, with the only statement of: "I still win for team, how much I play is irrelevant." (Translated) After flying to America about a week ago, Romanov spent time talking to multiple General Managers in the VHLM, notably those of Philadelphia, San Diego, and Mississauga. The announcement of his final recruitment and also the announcement of his play was yesterday via social media where the young star announced to San Diego, an upcoming team with great potential. It will become very clear that Romanov will fit very quickly into this team, which is believed to be a main component as to why the deal was made with the organization. The future is bright for the out-of-country star.

1. Very little. Just joined, just updated. Probably just be there to skate, ngl lmao. But nah, gonna provide some good defense. 2. 7-4 right now. Hey a positive record! I'll take that, can't lie. I think we'll finish out pretty good. 3. Like I already mentioned, defense. Really whatever I am told to do, lol 4. Nah, but maybe I'll get one now with the other guys. 5. I gotta actually learn the names of the people on my team first. Still my first day! 6. It definitely will not be me. Maybe Tzesar. Still gotta learn the rating mechanic. But I see 200 TPE sooo.

Hello? Hey! Hi! Well this is probably...interesting at the very least. I don't remember when I officially made my account, I suppose I could actually just go check but if there's one thing to know about me I am super lazy at doing the most simplistic things (just literally go look at my previous player and you'll find that out real quick). I came into the VHL as an Affiliate from the EFL and SBA, two leagues that I am still in and partake in jobs there. I created a player, Zach Whelan, some Irish kid? I believe that's where he was from. Man, I wish my memory was not so bad but it absolutely is and I cannot pretend that isn't. Regardless, I cannot really say that Mister Whelan every got far in his career...because well he didn't. That dude SUCKED. Why? Because I disappeared back to my regular leagues rather quickly, leaving him to only be a distant memory, still existing and just sitting doing nothing this entire time. I'm sure some teams could've definitely used him in the VHLM or whatever, he was pretty good TPE for there, so I apologize for everybody who sent me massive amount of PMs that I probably never responded to. (Yeah, I'm actually sorry @AJW). So will this time be different? Well, probably not. I'm not a very optimistic person, you see. Although I do have the time as of right now to completely do all sim leagues since its summer, you never know when things pop up and whatnot. But I hope to put my investment back into this league that I do think is pretty cool. I have a lot of friends here because of other leagues and plus theres a lot of new people to meet and get involved with. I'll probably never be super active on the forums, since most of my stuff will probably come from affiliate PT but regardless this will be a fun change of pace for me. My new player is the "Big Bad Russian", or something. I dunno, I had absolutely no creation in terms of names so I just had to come up with something and roll with it. I probably should've made it relate to my SBA player now that I think about it. Oh well, missed opportunity. With people to help me, I think this will go decently well. I must say, I no absolutely NOTHING about hockey. Nothing about metrics, statistics, nothing. I only know there's a goalie, basically. And that's not even my position. So you can imagine how this is probably going to go. But who cares! Cheers to new chapters! Maybe my character this time will actually be remembered unlike Whelan. Maybe my character will forever live in the lower levels or something, I dunno how this progression system really works since I've basically never really paid attention to stuff but yeah! I'll be around on the Discord and of course my affiliate partners, so come say hi to me whenever. I'll need all the help I can get because your boy is not that smart

It's the best! Thanksss Yess

lmao bum

oh no not this guy

thanksss! more time on my hands at least right now so itll be nice

Not even close just wait until awards

Go away

Considering I don't know James, I think I already won.

Very fun offers, but I do believe this seems the most enticing (plus I really don't care I just need to get on a team by now). #JoinTheBrigade

Pablo beats Kunta anyways

Looking around the VHL Forum, Discord, and talking to some people who find themselves heavily invested in this community is helping me find my way into an unfamiliar place, that's for sure. I'm going to go ahead and be straight and completely honest. I, again, don't know Hockey. I remember briefly that I went to an Indy Fuel game when I was super young and I have a puck to prove for that. Otherwise? Yeah, no. It was never anything of my interest, and I also live in Indiana. We're a Basketball State, after all. However, with that knowledge in mind, the VHL did strike me into an intrigued manner. A lot of my friends in these other sim-leagues were in here, and for the most part they seemed to have nothing but positive remarks regarding. Therefore I did know about the VHL for quite some time, especially when we get a lot of people from here to come over into our league, the SBA, to create players. It's definitely helping out our draft classes, that's for sure. With a new goal on the horizon to learn Hockey, and be a decent player out of it, I think there will be some fun things to come from it with Zach Whelan (from which I got off a name generator). The future is bright, maybe? That is all.

I suppose this is where I say Hello and mention myself. Yes, don't call me Carson. But my name is Carson. I'm in SBA, EFL, some other leagues. Some people probably know me, some probably don't. I have never watched Hockey in my life.
