On Thursday July 28th, I joined the league as a free agent in the VHLM. My player, Sadie St-Louis was promptly offered a contract with the San Diego Marlins. She accepted quickly, happy to actually get an offer from a VHLM team. While the team wasn’t necessarily in a good position to succeed, being at that point more than 10 points out of a playoff spot, the rest of the Marlins roster and our GM Jacob were very nice and happy to help with anything I needed. Jacob has been extremely helpful in giving his opinions and advice on what categories to put TPE into and the strengths and weaknesses of putting TPE into certain categories. Sadie joined in the middle of a flurry of signings made by the Marlins, bringing the total player count on the roster up to 13, which now greatly benefits our team during games.
 
Since signing with them, Sadie has played 7 games with the Marlins. 2 wins in a row happened against Houston and Saskatoon, her first ever wins with the team which have helped keep San Diego in playoff contention. Getting more ice time has helped her production a lot. In these 7 games, she has:
 
Goals: 3
Assists: 6
Points: 9
+/-: -1
Shots: 30
PIM: 2
Hits: 14
Shots Blocked: 5
Power Play Goals: 1
 
9 points is above a point per game, which is especially good considering she only had 1 assist across the first three games. Her shooting percentage is at 10%. The category that could be the most improved upon is plus minus- being at a negative is hindering the team’s success. I would say that this has been a good start in the VHLM for her, especially considering that I started out having no idea of how to build a player the right way. But again, I could be very wrong being so new to the sim leagues.
 
I have high hopes for the rest of her career, starting with a potential push for the playoffs. San Diego currently sits at 9th overall in the 10 team league, and is trailing the Saskatoon Wild by 10 points. However, with only 6 games remaining before the playoffs, they are going to have to have a practically flawless finish to the season if they want in. Saskatoon will also have to essentially go into a free-fall. Houston and Ottawa will need to play extremely well, as they make up 5 of the Wild’s 6 remaining games. After this season concludes, Sadie will sadly be unable to stay for sure with San Diego, and will head to the dispersal draft. Hopefully she is able to head to a team she will enjoy. I plan to earn as much TPE as I have time to earn over the coming weeks, and upgrade my player so that she can be selected higher in the draft. Next season, she should show significant improvement. And one day, she hopes to be drafted into the VHL, the most prestigious of the three leagues, and have a long and successful career.

As I sit with all my new Marlins, I can’t help thinking about the team I drafted and built throughout the season before making the tough decision to sell. Recruitment was incredibly low, teams were pretty desperate to fill out their lineups with established talent, and the market was honestly too good to pass up. But if I had known an amazing set of reinforcements was on its way, just in time to lead into the playoffs, maybe I wouldn’t have made the decisions I made. Sure, it would’ve had adverse effects on future seasons, but coming in as a brand new GM and immediately tapping out at the first sign of adversity didn’t sit well for me. But I also knew mediocrity is the enemy of long-term success, so I had to move on from an incredible, however shallow, roster. Now they are all preparing to duke it out in the playoffs, and with the San Diego Marlins on the outside, frantically looking in, it appears that I will be turning my attention towards the JST, the VHLM draft and future seasons. I’m hoping to find incredible new homes for all of the great waivers I’ve gotten this week, and build a reputation for development, good vibes and consistent performance here in San Diego. Teams like Las Vegas, Philadelphia and Ottawa have historically had the image that I’m seeking to incorporate, so using my experience with those franchises will be crucial for my GMing career.

This is awesome! Great work

Junior Review
Sadie St-Louis
 
Sadie St-Louis was born on May 4th, 2004 and grew up fairly close to Quebec City. Growing up in Canada, she naturally was taught to skate at an early age and was more talented than most kids her age in terms of movement on ice. However, she failed to progress well in other aspects of the game, both physically and mentally.. She couldn’t stickhandle, shoot, or hit well at all and was often a worse player on her childhood teams. However, in middle school, she saw that she needed to improve a lot and trained tirelessly with her friends and parents to improve her skills. Her shot became more powerful and accurate and her physical ability improved as well. But it wasn’t quite enough to make varsity at her high school in freshman year. In fact, she still wasn’t close to making it.
 
Angry about this and knowing she needed to improve even more, she played with passion and used her strong skating to emerge as one of the best players on her team, and as a result of this Sadie was given the opportunity to play with the varsity team at the start of the playoffs due to injuries. Once there, she showed a much higher level of skill, leading the tournament in assists with 9 despite falling short in the final. For the next three years St-Louis was a core player on that team, and led the league in points twice. St-Louis was the captain in junior and senior year and she used her speed and strength as her greatest assets. She managed to win a championship recently in her senior year and after that, she set her sights on higher levels of hockey. She was nervous that the VHLM didn’t seem like it was going to work out because she wasn’t sure if she was dominant enough in high school, but she has finally achieved that dream.
 
Today, Sadie received an offer from the San Diego Marlins, and she gladly accepted. The chance to play somewhere like the VHLM is something she had always wanted to have and San Diego has made that dream come true. Excited to start play with the Marlins, Sadie looks forward to the next game against Mexico City. She hopes to help the team compete for a playoff spot as the season nears its conclusion, and she is hopeful that she can be a top player in the future.
