Keegan Gamble

As Commissioner of the VHLM, VHLE, and the VHL (FOR ONE ENTIRE DAY!), I am thrilled to announce the addition of three exciting expansion teams to our leagues. I am going to talk about these new teams and the opportunities they bring to our hockey community, opportunities to more players to join these prestigious leagues and for the communities of these cites to embrace their new sports team. I was also able to speak to the mayors of each city and get their thoughts of the idea of a new expansion team! First up, we have the Seattle Supersonics, a brand new team joining the VHLM. The name pays homage to the rich basketball history of the city, but fear not, hockey fans, the Supersonics are all about bringing high-flying action on the ice! Seattle is known for its passionate sports culture, and we believe this team will capture the hearts of the city's residents. We anticipate a dedicated fan base that will rally behind the Supersonics, creating an electric atmosphere in the arena. "The Seattle Supersonics are here to soar to new heights on the ice, just like our basketball counterparts did on the court. Get ready for an electrifying experience!" – Bruce Harrell, Mayor of Seattle Moving on to the VHLE, we welcome the Budapest Kodiaks. Budapest is the capital city of Hungary, so why should it not have a major sports team? Budapest has a deep-rooted love for sports and a rapidly growing hockey scene. The Kodiaks will add an exciting new dynamic to the VHLE, as they bring their own unique flair to the league. With their fierce determination and commitment to the game, the Kodiaks aim to put Budapest on the hockey map and make their mark in the league. "With the arrival of the Budapest Kodiaks, the VHLE is set to witness the fierce determination and passion that this city can bring to the game of hockey. Get ready for a wild ride!" – Gergely Karacsony, Mayor of Budapest Lastly, in the VHL, we introduce the Regina Rangers, a team representing the vibrant city of Regina, located in the heart of Saskatchewan, Canada. Saskatchewan always seems to be left out of major sport leagues and I think as a current resident of Saskatchewan, I think it is time to finally get us into the big leagues. The Rangers embody the spirit of the prairies, known for their toughness, resilience, and passion for hockey. The city of Regina has a strong hockey tradition, and we have no doubt that the Rangers will build a loyal and devoted fan base. Their presence will bring an added level of competition to the league, as they battle it out with established teams for glory on the ice. "The Regina Rangers embody the heart and soul of Saskatchewan hockey. Their presence in the VHL will bring a new level of toughness and grit to the league. Brace yourselves for some fierce battles on the ice!” – Sandra Masters, Mayor of Regina “Residents of Saskatchewan would sure be excited to see an expansion like this come to the prairies in the next few years.” (I don't know which one I like more) Feel free to let me know The addition of these expansion teams not only expands our leagues but also creates new opportunities for players, coaches, and fans alike. It opens doors for fresh and new talent to shine and introduces new rivalries that will captivate the hockey world. I am committed to nurturing the growth of these teams and ensuring a level playing field for all participants. I can't wait to see the Seattle Supersonics, Budapest Kodiaks, and Regina Rangers take to the ice, bringing their unique styles and stories to our leagues. The future of hockey is bright, and I am honored to be a part of this exciting journey as Commissioner, even if it's just for one day. Let's lace up our skates, embrace the new teams, and continue to push the boundaries of what our sport can achieve!

1. I got to say AI Land, every sim I have looked at, he has been producing, All of them are popping off this year and we are very lucky to have all of them, they are really contributing to our teams success. 2. Marlins are doing great! They are doing super well right now, 3rd in the league and I love to see how some of my former teammates are doing! 3. That is a question I am not answering because I have absolutely no idea. I have thought about this question for 10 minutes and still do not know. 4. A PPG, I want my player to be a PPG or AT LEAST ONLY 10 points under a PPG, especially starting at a lower TPE than most in the VHLE, I think those are pretty good goals and would be very happy if that was the case. 5. @Fradin99. I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO SEE YOU ON COLOGNE BUT I ALSO LOVE KICKING YOUR TEAMS BUTT AND SCORING AGAINST YOU. WE NEED TO DROP THE GLOVES SO I CAN SHOW YOU WHO IS BOSS 6. Had to do a quick google search and I’d like to see the Cologne Cathedral. Looks pretty cool and would be nice to visit. The city just seems super nice as well.

Keegan Gamble, the talented forward of the Cologne Express, is thoroughly impressed with his team's performance thus far in the season. With 19 points to his name, consisting of 5 goals and 14 assists in just 20 games, Keegan has played a significant role in the Express' success. However, his admiration extends beyond his own personal achievements as he acknowledges the collective effort of his teammates. The team's record of 14 wins, 4 losses, and 2 OT losses is a testament to their exceptional form. Each member of the Cologne Express has contributed to the victories, displaying their dedication, skill, and teamwork on the ice. Keegan is particularly impressed with the way his team has gelled together, forming great team chemistry, which has definitely helped with their team success. The Express have excelled both offensively and defensively, with a strong attack and a solid backline.

The team's defensive structure has helped them maintain a positive goal differential and secure crucial wins. The Express have had a great last few sims winning 9-3 vs. Stockholm, 8-2 vs. Stockholm, 3-2 vs. Oslo and an enormous 10-1 win vs. Stockholm. Keegan and the express are hoping to continue their success and raise their chances for the championship to the next level.

Good afternoon. Today, we bring you an uplifting story that highlights the compassion of a local sports hero. Keegan Gamble, the new addition hockey player for the Cologne Express, is making headlines once again, but this time it's for his ambitious plan to build an animal shelter right here in our city! "I believe that animals bring so much joy and love into our lives, and it's our responsibility to ensure their well-being. Building this animal shelter is a way for me to give back and make a difference." - Keegan Gamble Gamble is known for his exceptional skills on the ice and has always had a deep love for animals. His passion for their well being has now taken a concrete form as he sets out to create a safe home for the furry friends who need it most. Inspired by the impact he witnessed through his involvement with local animal shelters, Gamble aims to establish a state of the art facility that will provide shelter, care and a second chance for beloved animal companions. Through deep research and communication with experts in animal welfare, Gamble has carefully crafted his vision for this shelter. His plan includes spacious and comfortable living quarters for the animals, a medical wing staffed by experienced veterinarians, and even an outdoor play area where the animals can exercise and socialize. This facility will feature dedicated spaces for training and rehabilitation, ensuring that each animal receives the care they deserve. Keegan plans to add innovative programs to promote adoption, education, and community engagement. The shelter will host regular adoption events, where families can meet and connect with the animals in a warm and welcoming environment. Gamble will be apart of these events letting young hockey fans get to meet him and even other players on the Cologne Express that will volunteer and help throughout the shelter. Despite the demanding schedule of a professional athlete, he has devoted countless hours to the planning and development of the shelter. He envisions it as a legacy or a testament to his unwavering commitment to the well being of animals and his desire to make a lasting impact in our community. As news of Gamble's plan spreads, animal lovers across the city are eagerly anticipating the realization of his vision. The prospect of having a cutting edge shelter not only provides a safe home for animals but also serves as a hub for adoption and community involvement and sparks excitement and hope among residents. Gamble intends to collaborate with local schools to offer educational programs that teach children about responsible pet ownership and the importance of taking care of animals and your pets. But creating a project this big requires a significant investment. To finance the construction and operation of the shelter, Gamble has already begun reaching out to local businesses, charitable foundations, teammates and individuals in the community. The response so far has been incredibly positive, with many expressing their support for his noble cause. Keegan Gamble is looking for people in his community or just around the world to help and contribute to his dream plan of creating this safe space for animals looking for a home. Donations, ideas and even names for the program would all be greatly appreciated and used to help further this plan and make his dream become a reality. "Together, we can build more than just a shelter; we can build a place of hope, healing, and happiness for animals in need. It's a collective effort, and I'm grateful for the support and generosity of our community. I hope to get lots of help with this project and make it the best it can be." - Keegan Gamble Stay tuned for more updates on this story and how the shelter works out for Keegan!

1. Nope! As far as I have heard I'm playing with some really great guys. Although our entire team is great and I would love to play with anyone on this team 2. Keon, his player is nasty. I'm very happy he is on our team this year. I think he will be great and earn the most. He is also our cappy so I will be expecting him to lead the way for us in the sims and winning many "Conductor of the Sim" awards. But as stated before, our entire team is great and I know everyone will get the chance to win it. 3. I think a good amount, my player played in the VHLM so I can't really say for sure how big my improvement will be especially playing in a better league this year. I am hoping I can impress though. 4.

Interviewer: Welcome, Keegan Gamble! Congratulations on being drafted to both the Cologne Express and the D.C. Dragons in the VHLE and VHL, respectively. How does it feel to have two teams show interest in you and draft you in such prominent positions? Keegan Gamble: Thank you! It's an incredible feeling to be drafted by not just one, but two teams in these prestigious leagues. It's a testament to the hard work and dedication I've put into my hockey career. I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase my skills and contribute to both the Cologne Express and the D.C. Dragons. That's fantastic, Keegan! Can you share a bit about your journey leading up to the draft? What have been some of the key moments or experiences that have shaped you as a player? My journey has been an exciting one filled with challenges and growth. I started playing hockey at a young age and quickly fell in love with the sport. Over the years, I've played for various teams, both at the amateur and junior levels, which provided me with valuable experiences and helped me develop as a player. One key moment was when I joined a highly competitive VHLM team, the San Diego Marlins. The level of competition pushed me to work harder and improve my skills. Additionally, participating in tournaments and showcases allowed me to be scouted by scouts from different leagues, ultimately leading to my drafting. It sounds like you've had a well-rounded development as a player. Now, with the Cologne Express and the D.C. Dragons, what are your expectations for the upcoming seasons? How do you see yourself fitting into the teams' strategies and contributing to their success? I have high expectations for myself and the teams that have drafted me. Both the Cologne Express and the D.C. Dragons have demonstrated their belief in my abilities, and I aim to prove them right. I see myself as a versatile player who can contribute both offensively and defensively. For the Cologne Express, I want to bring my scoring ability and playmaking skills to help generate offense. I'll also focus on being responsible in my own zone and contribute to the team's defensive efforts. With the D.C. Dragons, I'll aim to be a dynamic forward who can create scoring opportunities and make an impact on special teams. I believe my speed and agility will fit well with their style of play. It will take me 1-2 seasons to make it onto the D.C Dragons but I believe when I finally make it up there, I will be able to impress them with my scouts and make them relieved they picked me in the draft so early. Overall, I want to be a dependable and productive player for both teams. Both the VHLE and the VHL are highly competitive leagues. How do you plan to adapt your game to each league's style of play? Adapting to different styles of play is crucial in professional hockey, and I'm prepared to make the necessary adjustments. I'll carefully study the systems and strategies used by both the Cologne Express and the D.C. Dragons, ensuring that I understand the expectations of my coaches. I'll work closely with the coaching staff and my teammates to integrate myself into the team's playing style and contribute in a way that aligns with their goals. Remaining open-minded, observant, and willing to learn will be key as I transition into each league. It’ll be a tough challenge to switch over, but with the skills you bring to the table, I think you will transfer over smoothly. Switching gears a bit, what do you think are your biggest strengths as a hockey player, and are there any specific areas you're looking to improve upon as you transition to the professional level? I believe my biggest strengths as a player are my speed, agility, and offensive instincts. I have good vision on the ice and can anticipate plays well, allowing me to create scoring opportunities for myself and my teammates. I also take pride in my work ethic and commitment to continuous improvement. As I make the transition to the professional level, I'm looking to further enhance my defensive skills and become a more complete player. This includes improving my positioning, backchecking, and overall defensive awareness. Although I am planning on being more of a playmaker, I want to improve my scoring ability as well so that I can score goals when my team is in desperate need and show other teams that I am not just a playmaker but a clutch goal scorer when needed. I want to be reliable in all areas of the game and contribute to the team's success in any situation. I like to be very local in the locker room as well, I like to build relationships with my teammates and coaches. Chemistry is something that really help a team compete and I think building strong bonds and relationships with the guys on and off the ice. It's great to see that you have a well-rounded approach to your development. Lastly, what are your long-term aspirations as a hockey player? Do you have any specific goals you hope to achieve in your career? My long-term aspiration is to play at the highest level of professional hockey. I dream of competing in the VHL and representing D.C at that elite level. I understand that it will require a lot of hard work, dedication, and continued improvement. I also hope to represent my country on the international stage, potentially playing in tournaments like the World Championship. Ultimately, my goal is to have a successful and fulfilling career in hockey while leaving a positive impact on the teams I play for. Those are admirable goals, Keegan. I have no doubt that with your talent and determination, you'll make significant strides towards achieving them. Thank you for taking the time to speak with us today, and best of luck in your future endeavors with the Cologne Express and the D.C. Dragons! Thank you so much! I appreciate the opportunity to share my thoughts, and I'm excited for what the future holds. I'll do my best to make an impact and make both teams proud. 1054 Words - Using PT Weeks June 12-18 & June 19-25

1. Well the draft is over now, I was selected by the Aces so that was pretty awesome. Looking forward to the season! 2. Not going to lie, I had no idea we hired a new AGM, cause as stated before, I wasn't on this team till like 2 days ago. I think their a great choice though, definitely someone who can lead this team to some championships 3. I was following the JST because I was apart of it. I thought it was a very cool experience, I am quite surprised Steel and my team the Royals were upset in the Semi-Finals. 4. I would love to be apart of the WJC. I would love the opportunity to play for my country and compete against other nations. Then hopefully destroy everyone and WIN IT ALL 5. Don't really know them, but sounds like a cool guy. Sounds like a good captain and I like his name. JUAN 6. Veterinarian. I am a big animal lover and I have wanted to be one since I was 4 years old and still trying to pursue a career as a veterinarian. So hopefully it all works out!

As the draft approaches there is one question that circles through Keegan Gamble's mind, where will he be playing next year? Gamble is quite close to hitting that 200 TPE mark and moving on up to the VHLE if he wishes. If he keeps up his pace for gaining TPE over this week and next week. I would say for sure he will be moving on. Keegan has already got interest from some VHLE teams and would love to move up into the next level. In his debut season in the VHLM, Keegan proved to be a terrific playmaker on the Marlins. Amassing 45 points in 56 games. This was enough to impress multiple teams in the VHLM but also the VHLE and has been asked about his plans for the upcoming future. His departure is surely a difficult choice he will have to make in the following week if not sooner, although his time may have been short in the VHLM, it may be time to move on.

I am going to divulge into the steps he is taking to maximise his potential, turn heads of GM’s and make a lasting impact in these drafts. To excel at the next level (which looks to be the VHLE next year). Keegan understands the importance of being in PEAK physical shape/condition. He has committed himself to difficult training sessions, focusing on building strength, speed, and agility. Hours are spent in the gym, honing his athleticism, and improving his cardio. By working closely with fitness trainers, following a comprehensive workout plan and other draft prospects to push him to his limits, he ensures he is going to be physically prepared to meet the wants and needs of GMs in the upcoming draft. A playmaker with Keegan’s caliber understands that technique is a prerequisite for success and scoring on the ice. He relentlessly practices his shooting accuracy as he wants to show the teams, he doesn’t just make flashy passes or plays, but can also be a sniper when needed. He doesn’t stop there, he also works on his stickhandling and passing abilities, striving for perfection in every aspect. He puts time and effort and makes sure to involve all sorts of challenges and drills to enhance his techniques and skills. Keegan sharpens his skills through these training sessions, on ice practices, and scrimmages with as stated before, fellow draft prospects. He is always seeking feedback from coaches, mentors and even his fellow teammates to help him refine his technique and striving to stand out as a versatile and well-rounded player. He will enhance his hockey IQ bu spending countless of hours analyzing game tapes, studying the tactics and strategies employed by top players and teams in each league and focusing on understanding the potential opponents in the draft. Studying their strengths, weaknesses and finding ways to exploit them. He will gain a competitive edge which will set him apart from other prospects. Leading up to the draft, Keegan has been actively participating in pre-draft events and showcases to catch the attention of scouts and team representatives like the JST. He uses these opportunities to exhibit and showcase his skills, teamwork, and leadership qualities, even being named as an assistant captain for the Royals in the Junior Showcase Tournament. He understands the importance of leaving a crucial lasting impression on the decision makers, and he embraces every chance to demonstrate hos potential and show teams he can fit within their structure and type of play. As these dates for the VHLM, VHLE and the VHL draft slowly approach, Keegan Gamble plans to leave no stone unturned in his pursuit of professional success and ultimate goal of the VHL. Through tough physical conditioning, technical expertise, strategic analysis, mental preparation and showcasing his talent to the teams, he aims to present himself as an intimidating right wing playmaker. His dedication and preparation are a testament to his commitment to the sport and his future team, and his determination to excel in the leagues following the upcoming draft.

1. Well first off, I got to prepare for graduation! So that is something big I've been planning and preparing for. Other then that, probably as usual, chill with my crippled dog, hit the gym and get on the ice when I can. 2. I don't know if I can really choose one, there were lots. I would just have to say my entire experience in the discord chat with the Marlins. Everyone was great, always so kind and funny. Enjoyed every minute in that locker room. 3. As of right now, I think I will JUST get to enough TPE and will be leaving the Marlins. As of right now.. I am pretty sure I already know who my next GM is going to be . I already know they are going to be very helpful, very kind and always checking up on me and our team and making sure we have a lot of success and fun next season. 4. Congrats JACOB!!! It was crazy, but good for them. Especially for a Marlin to win, I'm very happy for them to pull off the upset. I am jealous though, wish the Marlins could have won the championship as well . 5. Passion is probably playing hockey and taking care of animals. I love hockey, I've been skating since I was 2 and playing since I was 4. Animals have always been something I adored and loved. I have always wanted to be a veterinarian and help animals out. 6. Music, just putting on headphones and just playing music, laying in bed and closing my eyes always seems to help me relax. Doesn't matter the type of music even though I am a big country fan. Just music that I like and preferably know the words too, helps me chill out and relax.

Review: I got to say.. this is definitely my favorite graphic and I think we all know why.. because its ME!! Jokes aside this is a really cool graphic. The highlight of the letters and the red on the jersey and players face really catch my eye when I first look at this graphic. I also love the team Canada jersey to represent where I am from. Only complaint is it is a little bland compared to some other graphics. I was told he did this in 15-20 minutes so I see why and am VERY impressed that you were able to complete this in that little amount of time. 10/10 - Bonus Points because its Me

Review: This is definitely one of the coolest designs I have seen made by someone. The lightning makes this image absolutely pop. From the colors, to the rendering, to the player, everything in this image is done so well. The only thing I would like to see improved is the logo. The logo to me seems a bit faded out compared to other parts of the image. I get it is not supposed to be the main focus of the image, but for me, it doesn't perfectly match or fit the jersey. 9.5 out of 10 image. Absolutely love it!

In todays world of hockey, there aren’t very many inspiring stories, but there is one, and that is about Keegan Gamble. Born in May of 2005, in Calgary Alberta, Gamble’s journey to becoming a professional hockey player has been filled with dedication, hard work and an unwavering passion for the sport of hockey. From an early age, Gamble’s love for hockey was evident and unmatched. Growing up in a hockey loving family, with his two brothers who were just as eager to jump right into the sport as he was. He was introduced to the sport by his father, who had played at the college level. At the age of three years old, Keegan took his first strides on the ice, although he stumbled and fell, he was determined to learn. His natural talent quickly became apparent, and he decided to join a local youth hockey team where he began to hone and improve his skills. Throughout his youth hockey career, Keegan’s dedication and worth ethic set him apart from his teammates. He spent countless hours practicing his skills, both on and off the ice, refining his skating, shooting, strength and stickhandling abilities. His coaches recognized his potential early on, and he quickly progressed through the ranks, excelling at each level he played. In his teenage years, Keegan and his family faced adversity when he suffered a significant injury during a game. A concussion, doctors warned Keegan that this one was quite bad, and playing hockey again wouldn’t be the best idea, but this isn’t where the bad news stopped. Keegan and his younger brother were entered into a study about concussions. Keegan’s younger brother, who never has had a concussion was entered as the healthy study, little did they know, he wasn’t so healthy. This is when doctors learned that Keegan’s brother had hydrocephalus. Which is a neurological disorder caused by an abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles deep within the brain. Keegan and his family were shocked, they didn’t learn about this for 12 years. Now Keegan’s brother was going to be put on the operating table for brain surgery. This had paused both Keegan and his other brother Josh’s hockey career while their other brother (Connor) was going through this hard time. Luckily, everything would turn out fine, Connor was lucky enough to survive the surgery and live his life again, except for the fact he couldn’t play hockey ever again. Back to Keegan. All of his hard work and dedication ended up paying off, as he and his brother Josh were both noticed by a team located in small town Wilcox Saskatchewan called the Notre Dame Hounds. Keegan entered his first year of high school and his skills continued to improve and flourish. He joined one of his school teams, although they didn’t have very much success, he was able to showcase his leadership abilities on and off the ice. His exceptional performance caught the attention of scouts from Junior Hockey Leagues, and he was offered the opportunity to compete at the Junior A level. Playing in the highly competitive Junior A league was a massive turning point for Keegan Gamble. It tested his skills against some of the best young players in the country if not the world. He faced tough opponents and for his smaller size, it was difficult. But his resilience and determination allowed him to thrive. With each game, his reputation as a skilled right wing forward grew, attracting even more attention from high levels of hockey, including college hockey programs. After completing his junior hockey career, Keegan faced a very crucial decision. Whether he wanted to pursue a collegiate hockey career and take schooling to become a veterinarian, or to enter the professional hockey ranks directly. Aware of the importance of education, Keegan decided to attend a reputable and well-known university that offered a strong and elite hockey program. He believed combining his passion for hockey and getting a quality education would help provide him with a very solid foundation of options for the upcoming future. During his college years, Keegan continued to excel, not just on the ice but in the classroom as well. He maintained a high GPA while making significant contributions to his team. His leadership skills continued to flourish even being one of the younger guys on the team. He ended up serving as team captain, leading his teammates both on and off the ice. This time of his life was certainly crucial in his personal growth and further developed his dedication and love for the game. As Keegan’s college career came to an end, he faced another crossroad in his hockey journey. Although he received a lot of interest from professional teams. He decided that he still had more to improve on and wanted to develop his skills even further. He decided to jump into the VHLM, to help enhance his skills even more and hopefully to move up into the ranks and earn a spot on a VHL team down the road. Keegan found a unique opportunity in the VHLM to showcase his talent and gain valuable experience. He decided this would be the perfect place to grow and showcase himself to the world. He was again ready to take the next step in his hockey career.

Doing this now cause I need the TPE 1. Right now we're 11-6-5. So I would say we are doing quite well, I mean we were in a slump for a few days but we got it right back after the last sim. I think we can win it all, we have the team do it. Steel is going to be a tough team to beat though 2. Some days he has, some days he hasn't. Right now sitting at 17 points in 22 games. I mean I think that's pretty good. But the last sim was terrible for my player. Only 2 points in 7 games. So he better step it up and help this team out 3. I think it affects it but in a positive way. It's always great getting an extra guy in the locker room to talk to. Love meeting the new people. 4. I mean I guess a little bit. I haven't really been talked to by many GM'S or AGM'S. Only 1-2, I am confident my player is going to get drafted, just haven't been talked to by a lot of teams yet. Hopefully more will contact me the closer we get to the draft. 5. Honestly I'm okay with joining any time. Preferably a team that has a chance at winning it all next year. I don't want to play for a team that is going to be bottom of the league. I would obviously love to play for the Marlins since it is where I started out. But from what I've heard, it seems unlikely with their draft picks that I will be going there. Just a team that can compete for the chip is my preference but open to options. 6. My dream job was a to be veterinarian. I have always loved animals SO much and have wanted to be a veterinarian since I was 4 and still do to this day!! I am actually planning on going to University and majoring in science or more specifically Veterinary Medicine so I can become a veterinarian down the road. Hoping it all works out

1. Although we didn't win, I am very proud of this teams success and accomplishments this year. All of our players were huge on impacting how the season went and all in the right way. Although we didn't win the chip, we had so much success this year and I'm so glad that my first year in the VHLM was with the Marlins! 2. I feel like my player had a pretty good season in his first year of the VHLM. Although not a PPG, he contributed on a decent amount of goals this year. Playoffs, I was honestly quite surprised with his performance. I finished with 12 points in 10 games so I'm really happy with his success in playoffs. 3. I am hoping to improve my defensive skills, scoring and playmaking. I would like to improve my defensive skills because I was a -4 during playoffs. If my defense was a little better, who knows how much further we would have gotten this year. I would like to improve my scoring as I only had 14 goals in 56 games (regular season) and 3 goals in 12 games (playoffs). Obviously I would like to improve my playmaking skills as well so I can contribute even more on goals with assists. 4. I plan on returning to the VHLM. I don't believe my player has the right amount of TPE or skill to move up to the next level yet. I enjoyed my team in this league and am looking forward to playing in it again next year and hoping to showcase my skill even more and have a very successful season for my player and my team 5. It was amazing, no doubt the best locker room atmosphere in the VHLM. Everyone was so kind and friendly and always willing to help me out with any questions or concerns. Huge shout out to SIJN for always reaching out to me every once in a while to see how I'm doing and if I need any help with anything. 6. I've got some more Junior A camps coming up this spring and summer hoping to make a Junior A team somewhere in Canada for the upcoming season. So mainly just workout, skate, train and prepare for all of that. Obviously have some fun with my friends, party and hang out with my special wheelchair doggo. He only has so much time left so I want to spend as much time with him as possible. Again thank you Marlins for the amazing first season. I couldn't have asked for a better team and a better group of players. You made me feel very welcomed and I am forever grateful for it.

Keegan Gamble Age: 17 Height: 5'6 Weight: 143 Position: RW Team: San Diego Marlins Nationality: Canadian As the draft approaches Keegan Gamble is certainly a prospect you may want to have your eyes on. The small but fierce speedy right winger has quite the playmaking ability and will definitely be catching teams attention as the draft approaches. Strengths Keegan Gamble is an outstanding hockey player with a unique set of skills that make him stand out on the ice. He is a playmaker with speed, which means that he has quite a keen eye for the game and is always looking for opportunities to create scoring chances for his team. When he is on the ice, he is constantly in motion and his quickness is hard to match. His stick handling ability may not be great but he is able to maneuver around defensemen with ease using his speed. He is also an excellent passer and can make precision passes from anywhere on the ice. In addition to his offensive skills, Keegan is also a physical player who will play the body whenever he gets the chance even for his smaller size. You may not see him as a threat but Keegan Gamble can be dangerous given the right opportunity and chances Keegan this year had 14 goals 31 assists for 45 points in 56 games in his first year in the VHLM playing on the second line and second line PP. He had exactly 100 hits on the year, so he can play quite physical for his smaller size and 23 blocks to add on. As of playoffs, he has 1 goal 2 assists for 3 points in 4 playoff games after the Marlins swept the Houston Bulls. Weaknesses Scoring: Keegan's weakness as a player are the ability to produce goals. Yes he is more of a playmaker, but he didn't produce very many shots either. Counting all players who played over games this year on the San Diego Marlins, he had the worst shooting percentage at 7.82%. Strength: Size certainly doesn't help Keegan and he isn't the strongest guy on the ice. Keegan's strength is something he is working on improving massively as soon as the off season hits. As of right now he is quite vulnerable and easy to knock off the puck. As I implied before, he is a smaller player, so him not being as strong as others is definitely a disadvantage to him at this point in time and is one of his main focuses on improving this summer. BONUS!! A huge bonus you get from Keegan Gamble is his crippled wheelchair dog.... HENRY!!

1. SWEEP BABY!! Good series for us at least. Our team played really well, lots of dominance and not letting up and winning in 3OT is crazy. Next match up will definitely be a lot tougher but we got this Marlins!! 2. Nothing special for me, just a good meal like pasta and chicken, get to the rink while listening to some good pump up music. Get a good stretch in, a game of suey and then get dressed EXACTLY 30 mins before the game. 3. Honestly I don’t care who, I think we can take both of them. Our team has shown how competitive we are and when we play well, no one can stop us. 4. I’m hoping my player will keep adding to his assist total. Yeah I hope he can score some goals too but I love to set up my teammates cause assists are just as good as goals. 5. Baby Moo Moo I could see winning all three if they keep producing like they did in round one. I could also see Sijn winning goals as well. Yes a little slow start but I don’t see that continuing. He’s a great goal scorer and I guarantee he’ll be top of our team for goals, even points. 6. Over easy eggs, sausage and some melted cheese in a toasted English muffin. Hash brown inside too if I’ve got some. Yeah kind of boring but I like the good ol’ fashion breakfast

1. I haven't really looked into the other teams but I would probably say Halifax. They're fourth in the league so maybe not considered a dark horse but that would be my pick. Their 3 top players are really popping off this year, so I think if they keep playing well, they could make a deep run. 2. I like to take my crippled, wheelchair dog out for a long walk and just enjoy the nice weather. Especially living in a small town it's nice to enjoy it. Grab some ice cream and a treat for my dog as well. 3. I think he's been doing quite well, definitely improved as the season went on. Been quite a good playmaker and every once in a while can pot some goals 4. Probably my scoring, don't get me wrong I love getting assists and factoring on goals, setting them up and making plays. But I would love to be able to get more goals as well. 5. Can never go wrong with Margot Robbie. I've always found Jennifer Anniston and Emma Watson attractive, so I guess those 3 lol 6. Not really, but the more I look at how my player produces, I would say Johnny Gaudreau because he's small but fierce and more of a playmaker than a goal scorer.

Doing these cause I want TPE lol 1. Probably Australia, one of the places I have always been dying to visit and I love kangaroos. Just seems like such a nice place to live in. Except for the massive spiders and insects 2. Cooking. I love to cook but I wish I knew how to cook more than I do now. I'm still growing so I'm hungry a lot. Plus I love to make food for my family and see how they find it 3. Keeping it of course. I'd prob give some to my parents and maybe some to my brothers if they're nice to me. Save a lot of it for emergency needs but wouldn't hesitate to spend some on some nice things as well. Questions: 1. What was your dream job as a child? Has it changed or is it still the same 2. If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? 3. What was the best/worst gift you've ever gotten?
