Where's Teddy?

Royals? More like STUPIDS! Got 'em!

Yeah but the Lynx are a really good team so no shame losing to them.

Am I supposed to only be looking at the left side? I mean, I guess it keeps my eyes away from the face, which I don't find appealing to look at.

Oh. Good.

What? So why would you spend any time working on Helsinki's?

tbh I actually haven't done anything yet either.

You want to talk about bonus TPE for being the only one doing anything...

O

YEAH!

I scored an 8.

The third one is not going well for me. Things seem off no matter where I put them.

Yeah, me too.

Assuming he is a free claim, Ottawa will claim Brock Weathers. If he's not, we don't want him.

Not a chance, Lance.

It's your favorite number.

VHL Team Association; part one This season, the VHL is having another team point task in which the teams will create a historical roster of the franchise's best players. This is nothing new, in my opinion, as it has already been done a couple times in the league. However, I am one for celebrating the history of the league, so I believe it is always important to go back and remember the players of the past. For this article, that is what I am doing, except I'm taking a bit of a different spin. Rather than looking at each franchise's best player, or even most well-known, I am going to write about the first player that comes to mind when I think of each team. This will be a list unique to myself, however a lot of the names will be players that others might come up with as well. I've been around since Season 11, but I have also researched league history in the past, so I do have some knowledge of what came before me. A newer member who might not have looked at the league's history so much might not come up with a lot of the players that I have. For older members, it's more likely that they would match the names that I come up with. Without further ado, I shall begin with part Calgary Wranglers: Brett Slobodzian When I think Wranglers, I think Brett Slobodzian. I was not around for his career, but he has definitely left a mark on the VHL. The namesake of the Most Outstanding Player Trophy (formerly MVP as Voted by the Players), Slobodzian was the first member of the Wranglers franchise, one of the few teams that has neither relocated nor changed its moniker throughout 40 seasons. He only played for five seasons, all with Calgary, a short career by today's standards. A part of two Continental Cup teams, Slobodzian was the playoff MVP in Season 2 and twice the Most Valuable Player, in Season 1 and Season 3. He was elected into the Hall of Fame a season after retirement. New York Americans: Benjamin Glover It's hard for me to not think of Benjamin Glover, as he was my own player at a time when I was at my highest activity. My most memorable player, Glover was a fantastic goalie for the Americans from Season 24 to Season 31, winning no Continental Cups, but garnering multiple top goalie trophies and being named MVP once. A first-ballot Hall of Famer, Glover often underachieved come playoff time. He did manage to help New York reach the finals in four straight seasons, but they came up empty every time. He was part of the era that turned the franchise around, however, into the perennial playoff contender that they have now become. Seattle Bears: Sandro Desaulniers Sandro Desaulniers is definitely not the best player in Bears history. I can't say for sure if a lot of people would call him the most memorable, either; but when I think Seattle, Desaulniers beats Felix Peters or Markus Strauss to my head because I can also directly associate the name with Sandro, the VHL member. Desaulniers played with Seattle for six seasons during my first few years in the league, and I won a cup alongside him in Season 17. He wasn't a bad player by any means, but unlike Slobodzian and Glover, Desaulniers was not a Hall of Famer. He did not come away with a ton of accolades, a modest career total of 520 points. That wraps up part one of the series, which will likely be done in three installments. Next time, I will be looking at the rest of the North American Conference, as well as Europe's Cologne and Davos.

Team's should be rewarded an allotment of TPE to give to their players, so players on teams with fewer guys can get more. imbo But seriously, what kind of TPE is being given out? If it's just something like three possible, doing all this alone might not be worth it. If it's something stupid like eight or more, I probably would go for it. It really isn't fair to people who happen to be on shit teams at the moment.
