Thanks!

From my first time playing around with Pixlr. For week ending 9/18/22

As someone who is a first-gen and had this issue last season, I agree that it's a problem. I don't know the inner workings of the VHL as a whole to decide if I agree that turning 2 levels into 1 makes sense but I get where you're coming from. Last season I played on SSK. We were pretty bottom of the barrel for most of the season and aside from myself, I think there was only really 1 other player who didn't go inactive and wasn't a clicker. It was a very lonely team to be on especially when there was no interaction in the locker room. I honestly think if I hadn't found my way into the more social side of the VHL, I would have quit.

Oh that's gross. Of course Amazon would do something like that.

Sorry about the novel rejection. Keep pushing and keep getting it out there! Also if you're interested in it, it's very easy and relatively cheap to self publish on Amazon. ☺

Within the halls of the San Diego Marlins locker room, there is a quiet hum at all times. No, it’s not the air conditioner or the sound of exercise machines. This is a hum that will continue on forever, even when the stadium and the team are long gone and forgotten. It started one day seemingly out of nowhere, until it became like a choir. In the depths of the locker room, in a room hidden from outsiders, it is there. Emanating with a pulsing light which draws all who see it in. The hum grows louder as you approach and the sound and the light pull you towards it. There is no escaping it. It compels you. Calls to you. There is no escape. You may try but your feet continue and you soon wonder why you tried to walk away in the first place... Praise Be to Simon 150 words for week ending 9/18/22

A new season and a new draft to analyze. I have never personally done one of these before so let’s see if I can manage to make this coherent. Since I was given the job of AGM of the San Diego Marlins after the draft, I am now going to totally judge my GM @jacobcarson877 because why not? Judging a boss’s decision has never backfired on anyone in history ever. So here we go: Lachlan Summers - G @kirbithan With the 6th overall and their first pick of the draft, the Marlins selected goaltender Lachlan Summers. Lachlan returns to the Marlins after a small performance with them during S84. He suited up for 7 games with a 2-5-0 record and a 0.884 save percentage. He may not have been able to show all that he was capable of during the last VHLM season but Lachlan is very active both on and off the ice. He keeps the locker room interesting and I am looking forward to seeing what he can bring to the Marlins this season. Vincent Laroche-Gagnier - LW @vincentlg2007 Drafted 22nd overall, Vincent Laroche-Gagnier also returns to the Marlins after playing with them during S84. With 4 goals and 5 assists, Vincent showed that he was capable of producing. He is quite the voice in the locker room and was very active during the Junior Showcase Tournament so I can see him having a lot to add to the Marlins’ personality. I think if he put in a bit more work on the ice, Vincent could really be something for this team. Adam Rage - RW @MrMom Drafted 32nd overall we have Adam Rage. He played only 2 games with the Las Vegas Aces during the regular season but also joined them for their successful playoff run. Adam had no production and no points but did manage to end the playoffs with a +2 rating. He played for me on team Steel during the JST and struggled to make many moves but did manage to have 4 assists. Adam hasn’t had much of a chance to prove himself but I think if he puts in the work, he can be a good piece for the Marlins. Tristen Gorlim - RW @Zero-G2494 Last but not least, drafted 59th overall is Tristen Gorlim. With no previous VHLM team, no experience with the JST, and very little activity to go off of, Tristen is the most mysterious piece of this Marlins draft. Hopefully with a team behind him, Tristen can turn into an active player for the Marlins and bring something no one is expecting. Overall, the S85 draft for the Marlins is first-generation focused and I’m not saying that in a bad way. As someone who is entering their second season as a first-gen, I know that things can be confusing or overwhelming when you first join. So I think that if Jacob and I can be there for our team, then we can turn out successful players whether the team has a winning season or not. I think we have some great people here and I hope that with the coming ads that we will be able to pick up a few more key pieces. The one thing obviously missing from this draft for the Marlins was defense. With this draft class starving for D-men, and with how the Marlins’ season went last year, it makes sense for Jacob to pick up good forwards and a good goalie. Production will be key for this season to make our way out of the basement. 587 works for week ending 9/11/2022

Hellooooo San Diego! As the newly appointed Assistant General Manager of the Marlins, I would like to introduce myself to the players and fellow AGMs alike. As some of you may know, I had my first bit of experience with having a leadership role during the offseason as the GM of the Steel during the Junior Showcase Tournament. Though I wish I had had more time and a bit more of an active locker room to get some experience under my belt, I am hoping that the active Marlins locker room will allow me to figure out what kind of leader I can be in the VHL. I know I have a lot to learn but I hope with the support of those I have already spent the last few months learning from, as well as support from my team, that I can be an effective leader around here. Hoping for a good season and looking forward to getting to know you all better! Thank you @jacobcarson877 for giving me this opportunity. 172 words for week ending 9/11/2022

1. Off season was pretty good! Got in a lot of work and it felt productive. 2. I think we have a solid team and I look forward to seeing what we can do. 3. To train and work as hard as possible. Given the circumstances of last season, Jesse is feeling like they have to prove that they can keep up with a higher caliber team. 4. Personally I really want to see Moscow take it this season. 5. I think Bratislava might be in a good place to win. They picked up some impressive pieces during the draft. 6. Honestly I think either Vegas is ripe for a three-peat or maybe Mexico City has it this time around.
