YaBoi Oven: A Reflection

 
YaBoi Oven quietly scans the Helsinki locker room, which is beginning to buzz with activity and final preparations. It’s opening night in Helsinki, and Season 93 is one for which both the Titans and Oven have lofty expectations. After joining Helsinki as the first overall pick in Season 90, entirely bypassing the VHLE and making the Titans’ roster in his first season of eligibility, Helsinki’s fortunes have drastically changed. After season after season of frustrating mediocrity, the Titans have become a perennial contender under General Manager Mickey Dickson, making the playoffs in each of the past three seasons, highlighted with a Continental Cup Finals appearance in Season 91. However, YaBoi Oven, while a solid contributor to the team’s successes, has not been a consistent driving force of the Titans, something that now must change with the retirement of Pierre Emile Bouchard.
 
Evidence of those expectations are quite visible as well, as Oven glances down to see an A now adorning his sweater as an alternate captain of the Titans. Over his first three seasons, he’s become a leader in the locker room, and now he’ll be expected to become a leader on the ice as well. The potential is certainly there, as Oven recorded a point-per-game average in the Season 92 Playoffs, along with his usual strong presence defensively. It will take more than a strong 14 games, however, to prove that he was the correct choice at first overall four seasons ago. Players selected with that pick are expected to be generational talents, exceptional players who lead their teams to continued success and perform at the highest level. Helsinki has definitely been successful, and while Oven has been solid, an argument can be made that he was not essential to that success. Now entering his fourth season, the time is now to take that next step and become one of the league’s elite defensemen.
 

 
Oven looks up with a grin. Kronchy Kardashian, the new captain of the Helsinki Titans, is bouncing around and getting their teammates hyped up and ready to go. Oven stands up, grabs his helmet, and begins to join in with the antics when suddenly, a chorus of distant boos can be heard.
 
“Sounds like Warsaw beat us out there,” Oven remarks with a chuckle.
 
“Nah,” retorts Kardashian. “That poverty franchise has never been on time for anything. I bet it’s the officials getting that reaction.”
 
The boos get even louder now, and there is no doubt that the Predators have now taken the ice. It is, after all, practically a brand new team this season, looking to compete for the Cup instead of for the best lottery odds.
 
“Alright, no more screwing around, let’s go boys!” booms Oven as he straps on his helmet and takes off towards the tunnel, having to slow his roll before he runs over goaltender Fuukka Rask, who has been silently waiting there for minutes now.
 
“About time,” he chuckled. “But I need to be out there first!”
 
Season 93 was finally ready to begin.

Additionally, my favorite Molly the Cat story:
 
I was scouting for the draft, and Molly the Cat was one of my targets. I tried to do an interview, only to end up interviewing the son instead of the father. Very humorous mistake looking back on it.

This has to be the coolest jersey retirement done so far. Amazing stuff for an amazing career!

As the second last franchise to win their first Continental Cup (soon Stars, soon), one can imagine that it has been a tough going for game-breaking talent, and proven winners in this franchise. The team was blessed in the mid-70s with some really great characters, people that really established the culture that would blossom into what the London United stands by today, but it wasn’t until the mid 80s that the club really saw a transition towards continued and recognized competitiveness.
 
Molly the Cat was drafted 12th overall, quite early for a first-generation player in a stacked recreate class. In the midst of a transition from the first GM in United history to its second, Molly the Cat quickly established themselves as the front-most contender for what the United would look like for the next era. Being named captain of the squad in their rookie season, and carrying that title until they retired, and being the league’s Top Rookie, things looked to be on the up for the United. As the team began to establish its core identity, picking up some other long-standing prospects through the draft, it came time for someone new to take the reins of the team, in an attempt to get them over the final hump.
 
In S88, I took over the team, at the request of the previous GM and a committee of the top players on the team. I was happy to take the position, knowing what a great group of people I would be hanging out with in my day-to-day. Tough moves had to be made, intense negotiations handled, but when it came down to it, Molly the Cat was ready to lead a rag-tag group to success, like they were every season. Through the ups and the downs, Molly the Cat was there to encourage us, lead us by example, and promote the values that we United hold so dear. A model forum member, an impressive player, and a deserving leader, from the first game to the last.

Although Molly’s career ultimately ended in heartbreak, one goal away from a second championship, the first championship would not have been even dreamed of without the support of the team’s favorite kitty cat.
 
I’m not sure if anyone has gotten to retire their father’s number before, nor do I think there will be a father so deserving of a retirement from their kid. While I may have gotten to take on the mentor role for this venture, it couldn’t have been done without your relentless persistence, your somewhat approachable demeanor, and some good old fashioned nepotism. To be fair I only re-signed you, so maybe it doesn’t count. Anyways, what better way to cap off an incredible career than with your number hanging (metaphorically) above us always. That Dude already claimed your long-time number 69 (nice), but I hope you can feel almost as honored pretending you wore number 96 instead.

We shall miss your press conferences and your scoring touch, but we wish you nothing but the best as you guide the next generation of kittens to their own first-generation (and recreate, I suppose) success!

@JCarson

It is I, Jarl Doomsday, General Manager of the Stockholm Vikings of the VHLE and the newly appointed General Manager of Team Scandinavia. While today is as good as any other day to die gloriously in battle and join our fallen brethren in the halls of Valhalla, that is not what we are here to do today. Instead, I am here to announce the roster for Team Scandinavia, to recognize our finest warriors, our very best men, women, and reptiles. Scandinavia has a proud tradition of producing both hearty warriors and elite hockey players, and the players that make up our roster fall into both of these categories as the very best that our countries have to offer. Without further gala pageantry... the Season 92 edition of Team Scandinavia!!
 
Our axe...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Our shield...
 
 
 
 
 
 
Our indomitable will.
 
 
 
Our warriors are assembled, the faith of our nations behind us. Now, we embark on the journey to the Season 92 World Cup, a long and arduous voyage by sea to a strange, foreign land called Portland, Oregon. No matter how difficult the trials of our journey may be, we are prepared to arrive stronger than we were when we left, more determined and focused to return from our quest with the plunder of gold around our necks. Be warned, those of weaker body and mind, for we are coming.
 
So sayeth Jarl Doomsday.
