  1. Always the Bridesmaid, never the Bride. The last 4 seasons for Felicia Hardy have been filled with success after success. Championships, personal bests, and offensive production competing with the top players in the league are just some of the successes that Felicia has experienced. That said there is one thing that has eluded them so far. One measure of success that has been out of their reach, the goal is to hopefully rectified that this next season. To look back we will start with Felicia’s VHLM season which they split between Mexico City and Saskatoon. Winning the Championship was a big highlight but putting in a point per game season with 18 goals and 54 assists was a highlight as Felici spent most of the season focusing on the defensive side of the game. Felicia’s VHLE season in Stockholm was not as strong as their VHLM season, but they were still able to put up 62 points, 21 goals and 41 assists. Felicia felt much stronger on the defensive side of things. Unfortunately, Stockholm missed the playoffs, and so Felicia didn’t get to learn from that experience. The last 2 seasons in the VHL have been a constant progression forward with Felicia having 65 points, 11 goals and 54 assists in her rooking season, to place second in rookie points. Felicia’s second season the HC Davos Dynamo went to the finals in the championships which is always great. Felicia had an 82-point season with 9 goals and 73 assists. The interesting thing about the first 2 seasons in Davos is that Felicia has played much of their time on the second line, which makes the production numbers much more impressive. It did however limit their experience against the top players in the league. Looking forward Felicia’s goal is to finally break out and take the position as the top defender for the HC Davos Dynamo, solidifying themselves as a key contributor for the team. It really isn’t the placement in the eyes of the team that matter most but how that influences the rest of the league. By moving up in the team depth charts that should also establish Felicia as a top defender in the league, putting up both offensive and defensive numbers close to the league’s top players. There is always a nagging doubt of confidence when as a player you are relegated to the second position. That doubt of not being good enough. This season Felicia plans on breaking free of that stigma to finally be seen as the bride, a bridesmaid no more.

  3. This is a great article reviewing how the process of AGM and GM working together to improve a team. The combined experiences with individuals within the league make it a better collective decision making process. The process of drafting, trading and free agency provide an odd balance when it come to improving a team. A positive step in one area may be a negative step in one of the other areas. Hopefully things work out for you and Helsinki can become a competitor again. I give this article a 7 out of 10
  4. Interesting article. With any trade there are so many ways to view it. With this one with so many pieces scattered across multiple seasons it will be interesting to see if someone maps out the full trade tree and puts together a definitive outcome of who won or lost this. I don't think we will know for some time and there comes a point where it only needs to provide impact in this season to be of value. Either way it will be interesting to see how season 97 shakes out. I give this article a 8 out of 10
  5. The season 97 VHL draft happened last night and for the most part I didn’t care. Being in my third season with HC Davos Dynamo and no longer being a GM in the VHLM I found myself in a situation where the exact outcome of the draft meant extraordinarily little to me personally. Sure, I will get an opportunity at some point to play a few games with these players. It is an odd feeling knowing that this draft will have truly little bearing on my player. In the grand scheme of things it is a week draft year, with just less than 3 rounds being completed and some of those being long shots on players staying active. Now all that said I do know that the draft, or at least the first pick for Davos in the Draft held significance. It has been a topic of conversation for almost the entire season. Great lengths were made to position the draft selection in a place where one particular player could be acquired. And after all the discussions, after all the planning, after a last-minute panic, the plan was completed, and Ahma’s next defender came to Davos for their career. So, with that the season 97 Draft passed away into obscurity. Almost meaningless in the grand scheme of the VHL. Davos will remember for sure, but I expect very few others will. And so, we begin the slow progression towards season 100, and the inevitable celebration of the VHL. Sorry what was I talking about, I think I have forgotten.
