1. Ivans NHL sims are awesome I love seeing how our team performs against NHL teams 2. Justin Lion is insane, won handful of cups in the E and also one in the M with us as well where he was the play-off MVP 3. Spartan is very helpful, not a fan of his abrupt rule changes though ;( 4. Jacob is one of the greatest teachers I had the only reason I'm still in the league! 5. I honestly never spoke to the Malmo GM but he's put together a fantastic team and looks like they're going to have a good season 6. I don't know Josh all to well but happy with the consistency of the sims wish they were a bit earlier though

Sjin Rookie Experience It has been a long journey for Sjin to make it this far. Originally had his sights set on breaking the VHLM scoring record to an abrupt rule change that forced him up through the leagues. Having joined the league so late after his original draft, after being selected 25th overall by the Malmo Nighthawks back all the way in S86, Sjin was able to select the franchise he wished to play for. There was no better option than London United being able to play on home soil whilst also under management of his former San Diego Marlins GM Jacob Carson. The first time Sjin will step onto the ice in the big leagues will be amongst some of the greatest players in the league currently sporting the United jersey including Molly the Cat, Wayne Kerr, Leonard Triller and Jesse Teno. London United being on of the favourites going into the season puts a lot of pressure on Sjin to perform and ensure the team can reach expectations set on them. Sjin knows how to win though, having won the Founders cup in S86 and S89 then going on to win the Renaissance cup the following season in S90 he is a player that knows how to win and has the taste of winning fresh in his mouth but it will be no easy task against the greats. Playing in the VHLM was one of the best experiences of Sjin's career originally having planned being a VHLM but due to an unforeseen rule change, although learnt an awful lot from the management of my VHLM GMs Jacob Carson and Arce who were extremely good mentors teaching all the required skills and making sure he settled into the league well, Sjin spent 6 seasons in the VHLM where he was able to amass 467 points in only 380 games so an extremely impressive resume that alongside the 2 Founders cups currently under his belt. The skills gained and the friends made in this league are extremely valuable and will stick with him throughout the rest of his VHL journey moving forward in the future. Onto to playing in the VHLE where Sjin played for the team he himself managed the Cologne Express, at the beginning of the season thought to be in contention for first place the team however massively underperformed during the regular season finishing 4th and just scraping into the play offs. Despite this Sjin was still able to lead the team and was a top scorer in the relatively lower scoring season, he was able to amass 86 points in 72 games consisting of 37 goals and 49 assists. Due to the placement in the standings however it meant they would have to face the number 1 seed in the first round which was no easy task the Vasteras Iron Eagles had been dominant all season long. The team banded together and was able to overcome this titan in just 5 games, then leading onto the finals where Sjin had an extremely dominant performance leading by example and lead the team in scoring once against to their 2nd Renaissance cup in as many seasons. There's still a lot of Sjins story untold but we will see how the next few seasons play out and whether he can pick up anymore Championships throughout his career back under leadership of Jacob once again it is definitely possible!

Cologne and San Diego are the 2 best franchises in their respective leagues so it's unsurprising

Disappointed you didn't come back to your routes with Cologne however at least you got that part right

I wanted to play in the M you bum

A unexpected tail from Sjin, he worked his way up though junior hockey slowly grinding out the opposition until eventually being given a chance to play for the prestiged San Diego Marlins who was under management by Jacob Carson at the time he gave Sjin an opportunity on a team that was underperforming, at the time little did he know that Sjin was going to become to face of the Franchise for seasons to come. Sjin played for the team for just 20 games amassing 27 points consisting of 6 goals and 21 assists. Soon came the draft where he would be drafted 51st overall to the Miami Marauders a team that had seen great success in the past, he played there for just 7 games where he didn't quite find his groove where he was only able to get 3 points in those games. After being under management of Carson and falling in love with the franchise for the short while he was there he demanded a trade out of Miami. Fortunately Jacob Carson and then GM nurx were able to figure out and agreement sending Sjin back to the San Diego Marlins where he felt most at home. During that season Sjin made great moves gaining 77 points in the remaining 65 games of the season consisting of 29 goals and 48 assists, this is where Sjin fell in love with the franchise and the league, at this point Sjin had decided he wanted to spend his entire career playing in the VHLM where he felt most comfortable and most at home. He went onto play for the franchise for another 4 seasons where he was able to get an incredible 467 points in 380 games consisting of 175 goals and 292 assists it was a very impressive resume. During this time he was Captain of the team where he lead the team in S86 to their first ever Founder's cup in franchise history the cup then eluded him in both S87 and S88 where he fell just short in gruelling series, despite being disheartened by recent team short comings Sjin was able to battle through and lead the San Diego Marlins to their second Founder's Cup during the S89 season where he had 9 goals and 8 assists for 17 points in just 15 games leading the league in play-off points, though it wasn't due to Sjin incredible offensive upside and two way game that won them the cup their goal tender at the time Clark really carried the team on his back with a 0.940SV% and 1.48GAA meaning that Sjin was never able to earn the most prestigious award in the VHLM the play-off MVP. Sjin wanted to continue his career through the VHLM however the commissioners of the leagues had other plans and put a direct stop to his mission of becoming the greatest VHLM scorer of all time by limiting the number of seasons a player is able to contend in the league. This really discouraged Sjin and almost resulting in him tying up the skates and giving up the sport of hockey forever, when your life long mission your goal has been taken away from you when the finish line is so close in your sights it really takes a toll on a player and makes it really difficult to keep moving forward. Fortunately Sjin was able to bounce back he decided to take the decision in his stride and really worked on his player aiming to prove that he could make it in the big leagues despite his humble beginnings, training was tough and at times he wasn't sure he was going to make it but he powered through and Signed with the Vasteras Iron Eagles where he was immediately traded to the Cologne Express the greatest VHLE franchise in existence it was during his time here that he was able to prove himself amongst some of the best players in Europe. The VHLE has recently shrunk to just 6 teams from 8 so it would be much more competitive and juggernaut teams would emerge the first of which being the Vasteras Iron Eagles. During his time in Cologne he was able to shock the league by scoring 86 points in just 72 games consisting of 37 goals and 49 assists this all during the time that there was only 8 players that were over point per game in the league so an incredibly impressive stat line. This would propel him into the play-offs where finishing as the 4th seed they would face up against the previously mentioned juggernaughts the Vasteras Iron Eagles he alongside Captain Keegan Gamble were able to defeat this monstrous opponent in just 5 games proving how dominant they are in the sport, they are now onto the finals where it is all the play for and it is uncertain at this point who will reign as the Champions of the league going into the S91 season. However, Sjin is confident in his Cologne Express that they will be able to win back to back trophies proving they are the best team in the VHLE. Next season Sjin will be moving onto the VHL where he will play for London United trying to prove himself as the best player in a new league it will be hard, there are many much more experienced players in the league, but with the determination of Sjin nothing is impossible and who knows perhaps he will be able to lead London United to another Continental Cup championship he is a born leader and a born winner, it's all he knows how to do. Sjin will spend his remaining seasons with the franchise trying to prove himself as the best player in the entire VHL but only time will tell it will all come down to the STHS gods and if they wish to bless Sjin throughout his career moving forward.
