Player name: Sadie St-Louis

Player render: Mélodie Daoust

Team: Riga Reign

Additional requests (optional): do whatever you want it’ll be good

VHL player name: Sadie St-Louis

Render name: Mélodie Daoust

Preferred color(s): purple and red

Any extra details: Riga Reign player- other than that have fun!

This is a really great graphic, the Dragons logo being used with the purple/pink jersey scheme looks amazing, good job with the colors there! The matching and the golden additions on the jersey really accent it well. It looks like it really fits and is just the base picture, which I struggle to get sometimes. The blur and texture on the image adds a great effect and all of the space is used well. Plus, you can't go wrong with the purple color scheme  10/10 there is nothing i dislike about this

This looks great! I like the logo swap on the far left a lot and good job adding in the red to those jerseys! I like this take on Rome’s jersey, because I don’t normally imagine them wearing black. I think the most impressive thing was making sure you were able to get all of the jerseys and socks and didn’t leave areas out which I’m sure I would do. It's a clean looking graphic, although a bit low resolution; keep it up! 8/10!

1. I think they'll be searching carefully through the VHLM for some hidden gems that maybe are active but may fall because of a late start.

2. I think it was disappointing production-wise, and I am hoping to improve pretty well upon that next year. I was hoping to improve on my point total but I unfortunately wasn't able to.

3. I think we need to be simply be more consistent; we'll have large stretches of games where we play awesome, and then a run where we can't score at all. We need to figure out how to stop starting late.

4. I think Jeff Lewis is a really exciting first gen and I can't wait to see what they do in the league.

5. I am surprised by the run London has been on, they have really impressed me so far. Davos as well has had an amazing path, erasing a 3-1 deficit against Moscow. That series is definitely the more exciting one to me.

6. When not training in the offseason, I enjoy traveling around Latvia and Europe as a whole- being outside and hiking or swimming is probably my favorite thing.

Reporter: After having such a large bounceback in the regular season, does losing in the wild card round feel like it was all for nothing?

SSL: No, I think this season was a really valuable experience to have; to go from bottom of the barrel to a solid playoff team in the span of a couple months is a special achievement. Obviously the loss to London stings, but I have a lot of hope for this team next year. I think that despite my point total, I have improved a lot this year and it will start showing in my production soon.

R: What is your biggest takeaway from this season?

SSL: Basically, when you're down, you're never out, even when you are in last place with seemingly no hope. We were unlucky to face such a good performance from the United, but everyone feels good about what we have achieved I hope, because it was impressive.

congratulations but why did you have to do this to us

i like how sometimes you used periods, 10/10.

Hi Sadie, first off absolutely cool idea to make the PC a little more appealing. Second, and I hate to be the guy (although I cannot help myself being a grammar Nazi), but Phoenix is spelled wrongly. 

noooooooooo I think I spelled it wrong when I retyped it in a different font 

thanks for noticing

I did absolutely steal this idea from @Subject056

Chicago Phoenix Press Conference (for weeks ending 4/23 or 4/30)

Answer 3 questions for 1 TPE, answer all 6 for 2!

claim here --> https://vhlportal.com/players/playermgmt under capped --> press conference

1. Seattle has been very hot recently and has overtaken us for top of the conference. In our one matchup against them this season it was a close 4-3 win. How big will our remaining 4 games against them be?

2. What has your player been working on in practice lately (where did you/are needing to apply your TPE)?

3. How do you feel about Chicago's future? Do you think we need more young talent to stay in contention for the playoffs over the coming years or will we be okay?

4. Do you believe that offense or defense wins championships?

5. What is something you really love to learn about? Mine is outer space.

6. What is your favorite thing to do to pass the time?

whoever drafts harrington and petan jr. is going to win 9 straight Continental Cups 

@kirbithan 

this looks great! I love the glow around the render and logo replacement on the jersey looks good as well as matching that sleeve color well. I like the choice to go big last name, small first name and the spacing on it is done just right. I would give it a 9/10 because surprisingly the bold font works really well with the cursive and the negative space isn't a huge thing for me although you could add the player's position/season there! 

nice graphic and also welcome to the league!

jason this is awesome! I love the detail you show on the mask by blowing it up in the background and the great color swaps you did with binner (blue stick looks good)! the smoke really doesn't leave much negative space and the only thing I could suggest is that the L and A in Lachlan blend in so they are harder to see. but regardless a 10/10 from me because of the mask design most of all.

DBC: How do you feel about Riga being at the bottom of the European Conference at this point in the season? Anything you would attribute that to?

Sadie St-Louis: It's been really disappointing; personally, I am not living up to the goals I had set earlier this year. We seem to be able to score 3-4 goals just fine one game and then get shut out the next, I think it's really just a lack of consistency that is to blame for the poor form.

DBC: Do you get the sense that the team feels like they can get back into the race for the playoffs or has there been a loss of positive atmosphere, of hope of success?

SSL: Yeah, I think we are doing a good job of trying to regroup. We are scoring more and shooting more lately and hopefully that can translate into more points and a climb up the standings.

DBC: What do you think you need to improve on most to be more successful in the rest of the year?

SSL: I would love to get my pass down better; it has not been accurate or powerful enough and while I think I am shooting well enough, I would not mind improving my defensive stick to try to get more breakout chances and therefore more goals.

Chicago Phoenix Press Conference (for weeks ending 4/16 or 4/23)

Answer 3 questions for 1 TPE, answer all 6 for 2!

1. The Phoenix just can't stop winning! How long you think we can stay at the top of the league?

2. Ryan Vidot is 2nd in league points with 34 in 24 games played. Do you think their play is the main reason Chicago leads the league in points and do you think they can overtake Ronan Lavelle for #1?

3. Do you think the Phoenix should make any moves as we approach the deadline to ensure a better chance at a cup?

4. Do you have any good ideas for a future VHL player? 

5. How has your 2023 been going so far? Better or worse than 2022?

6. If you could be a pro in any sport besides hockey, what would it be? 

1. Riga currently sits last in the conference. What do you think has been the main contributor to this unfortunate start? 

We need to play better defense- we get 3 or 4 goals in many games that we can end up losing.

2. What’s the key to getting back on track in order to make the playoffs?

We need to potentially shift lines around and definitely work on dumping TPE into our worst areas.

3.  Curtis Crumb currently sits Top 10 in rookie scoring. How well is he adjusting to the VHL? 

Very well! I am glad we have even more young up and coming players for the future.

4.  What specifically do you want your player to do more to help this team make the playoffs?

SCORE. I think she should be converting more often given the better stats this year.

5. The Boston Bruins are the heavy favorite to win the Stanley Cup - do you think they continue the perfect season and if not, who is taking them out?

Carolina over Boston in 7 in the conference finals, they'll be close but won't be quite perfect enough.

6. BBQ season is upon us  - what is your favourite thing to BBQ? 

 Probably burgers or steak.
