Review: Hey there i really like what you did with this graphic! This is a very simple well done graphic that has a style that I personally have not seen all to often with stat total from the last season. I think the way you designed it gives me like the back of a hockey card vibe and i really think it is a very cool idea for a graphic! Personally I think the stats could have been done in white to give it a little bit more highlighting but it's probably a personal preference of mine. Overall very nice work! Rating: 8.9/10!

Review: Hey buddy this is an awesome looking graphic! I really love the way this came out! I think the way you used his players image in 3 different ways really gives this graphic a dynamic that some graphics don't have a I personally enjoy it. I think the sparks or the almost camp fire crackle effect you used really blends the team name and the player together very well even though its a small detail i personally think it takes the graphic to a whole new level. Keep up the good work buddy! Rating: 9.4/10!

Diego Machado finally got his day with the Continental cup this past Friday and he decided he wanted to share with the Legion fans on how he decided to spend his day with the cup so many players and fan want to win. So Diego started his day as he starts every day with a short run in the park in his home town of Winnipeg Manitoba with his dog Price. After he is done that he takes a shower and starts to make some breakfast, you might ask yourself what will he be having for breakfast today and for most sports fans would know and do the same thing if they had the day with the cup and that would be eating a massive amount of cereal out of it. Of course he let price try a little at the end as well as he assumes most people would then of course he cleaned it as most people would not want to touch a dirty cup. He then set out to his local arena when he was a kid to do a meet and greet with his fans in his home town and of course give some fans a chance to hold the illustrious Continental cup. But before this all took place Diego decided he wanted to take a trip down memory lane and take a look at teams he played for in the past, such as the Winnipeg Monarchs (the team he played for when he got drafted to the VHLM Saskatoon Wild). He remembered many fond moments from his childhood like when he scored the game winning goal to send his team to the national championship in a thrilling last minute goal in overtime against the Monarchs rivals the Winnipeg Thrashers. After is short but very meaningful journey down memory lane it was time to start the meet and greet with everyone. After several hours and a few hundred visitors Diego then went back to his families house where they hosted a family barbeque for his family and his closest friends where they had some drinks good food and of course they had to recreate the Phil the thrill hot dogs in the cup photo as it was a photo he has wanted to do himself since he saw it on Instagram many years prior. Last but not least the thing that every player will do when they have a day with the cup is when they go to bed it never leaves his side. Although this wasn't the most eventful day that a person could have Diego made sure that he could bring the joy of the cup to others so they can enjoy it just as much as he did. In the post season Diego Had 11 points in 15 games helping the Toronto Legion win the Continental cup for the first time in over 20 seasons and he hopes to improve on his rookie success and bring home another championship for the Legion this season!

Review: Hope you are having a great holidays! This graphic is really awesome! i always loved the color scheme of the Davos jerseys and the way you used those colors in this graphic is a work of art. I really like how you used the team logo as the base for this players graphic really takes this graphic to the next level. I think the background choice of the purple swoosh really brings the whole graphic together! One thing that really grabs my eye is the bottom players right had being on the line of the logo just trips me out as it almost looks like that is his hockey stick haha. Hope the rest of your holidays are awesome! rating:9.4/10

Review: Long time no see hope you are having an amazing holidays! Well where do i start on this graphic other than this looks fantastic! I really love the idea of a season themed graphic and you pulled this one off perfectly. When looking at the graphic it makes me feel like a kid again going to the out door rinks on Christmas and just playing some hockey! I like how you used 2 of the teams in the VHL that have the main Christmas colors in them, as simple as it is it makes it look very clean but we both know the legion deserve to be one of the teams Have a great rest of your holidays! rating: 9.9/10

great series/ season!

Diego Machado has not had the best of holidays as recently his dog Nova passed away fighting a rare form of cancer. Early last year, around March 14, 2022, Diego's dog Nova got the bad news that she had a rare cancer that started in the urinary tract and unfortunately spread to the point where she passed away on December 8, 2023. This came as a shock to the fans, as Diego's dog was a fan favorite on social media, being shown running on the ice of the team practice facility with Diego and being seen at many team/fan integration spots where many fans were seen taking pictures with his dog, and fans are deeply saddened to find out about her passing. This has been a sad time for the player, leading him to be distant from the media in the league and just focus on time with his family while also working on his fundamentals to help improve his on-ice performance while also keeping his mind busy. While he put in the extra work, fans have noticed the player having more During this time, the VHL playoffs started, allowing Diego to keep his mind focused on his goal of winning the Continental Cup with his Toronto Legion. (Toronto's first since S65) While he has the normal drive to win, as most players would, this season feels a bit more personal for Diego, as he wants to win one last thing for his lost companion. In a small but heartwarming gesture, Diego decided to have his dog's name stitched into his left glove for the whole VHL playoffs to give him a little extra push for the playoffs. While this has been a good season for the rookie forward for the Legion, putting up 18 goals and 32 assists for 50 points in 72 games, he has never made the playoffs with any team in his career. This season adds more fuel to his fire to win. Now that the playoffs are in full effect, Diego has shown the fans what they have been missing, with him never getting the chance to show his talent at a time when it really matters. In this season's playoffs, Diego has 2 goals and 9 assists, giving him 11 points in 14 games and helping the Toronto Legion reach this season's VHL Cup finals. Although he is still just a rookie in the top level of the VHL, this almost feels like a turning point in his career, as with the help of his management and his supporting cast of really welcoming teammates, he is finally getting the extra push to make it into the real hockey season. It remains to be seen if Diego will be able to finally add some hardware to his four-season-long career, but what we do know is that he is putting everything he has into this playoff run and hopes to bring the continental cup back to Toronto after a long absence from this amazing city and to honor his lost companion.

Review: Hello my fellow rookie! This graphic looks sick! I really like what you did here, the first thing that caught my eye was the paint brush lines effect that you used as when i first saw i was not a fan but now the more i look at it i really think it really works! A very small detail that i really like is how you edited the logo on to the jersey as it looks very well done and if you didn't know who the player was you would think the jersey is legit as they come! Overall really nice work! Rating: 9.1/10

Review: Every time i see one of these i get more excited to see how mine turns out! But as for the review i really like this graphic! One of my favorite parts as always is how you incorporated the background into the graphic making is looks super clean while not being distracting in any way. I think the player choice was very well done. The one thing that kind of caught my eye was the little strip at the bottom of the background but weather its supposed to have it or not its hard to notice either way. Overall this was very well done cant wait to see what the next graphic looks like! Rating: 9.2/10

Diego Machado is not your average professional hockey player. Known for his incredible work ethic and relentless determination on the ice, he's a household name in Toronto and has gained a reputation for his off-season training routines. While most players take a break from intense physical activity during their time off, Diego prefers to push his limits by participating in grueling endurance events like Ironman races. In the heart of the VHL offseason, when most players are relaxing and recuperating from the demands of a long hockey season, Diego sets his sights on a different challenge. He's decided to participate in the Ironman 70.3 Las Vegas, a race that combines a 1.2-mile swim, a 56-mile bike ride, and a 13.1-mile half-marathon run. It's a true test of mental and physical endurance, and Diego is determined to prove that he's not just a star on the ice but a true Ironman off it as well. Diego's journey to Ironman 70.3 Las Vegas begins with rigorous training. He wakes up before sunrise and heads to the pool for his daily swim sessions. He's not a professional swimmer, but he's committed to mastering the art of swimming efficiently. With the help of a coach, he refines his technique, building up his strength and stamina in the water. After his swimming sessions, Diego hits the road on his bike. He's no stranger to long rides, but the 56-mile distance of the Ironman course presents a unique challenge. The hills and desert landscapes surrounding Las Vegas offer a perfect training ground, and Diego spends countless hours in the saddle, honing his biking skills and building the leg strength necessary for the race. The running portion of the Ironman, a half-marathon, is perhaps the most challenging for Diego. While hockey players are known for their explosive speed and power, endurance running is a different beast. He starts with shorter runs and gradually increases his mileage, focusing on pacing himself for the grueling 13.1 miles that await him in Las Vegas. Diego's commitment to training is nothing short of inspiring. He maintains a strict diet to fuel his body for the intense workouts, and he dedicates time to recovery and injury prevention. He also works with sports psychologists to develop mental toughness, a quality that will prove essential during the race when fatigue and doubt inevitably set in. As race day approaches, Diego's fellow Legion teammates are in awe of his dedication. They cheer him on, but they also express concerns about the potential for injury. Diego reassures them that he's taking all necessary precautions and that the mental and physical challenges of an Ironman are a way for him to build mental resilience that will benefit his hockey career. The day of the Ironman 70.3 Las Vegas arrives. Diego stands at the starting line, surrounded by a diverse group of athletes from around the world. As the starting gun fires, he plunges into the water for the swim portion. The swim is a challenging ordeal, with the sun beating down and the open water presenting its own set of obstacles. But Diego perseveres, channeling the determination he's known for on the hockey rink. The bike ride through the stunning desert scenery is equally demanding. The harsh terrain and strong winds test his endurance, but he pushes through, fueled by the support of his fans and the knowledge that every mile brings him closer to the finish line. The half-marathon run is grueling, and by this point, many athletes are struggling. Diego's legs ache, and his body is weary, but he draws on his mental strength to keep moving forward. With each step, he thinks about the cheers of the crowd, his teammates watching online, and the parallels between the pain of the Ironman and the challenges he faces in hockey. He knows that pushing through adversity is the key to success in both sports. Finally, after hours of intense effort, Diego crosses the finish line. He's exhausted, but the sense of accomplishment is overwhelming. His journey from the ice to the Ironman has been a personal victory, a testament to his unyielding determination and his desire to excel in every aspect of his life. Diego Machado's journey from the hockey rink to the Ironman course is an inspirational story of dedication and perseverance. It showcases his unwavering commitment to pushing his physical and mental limits, whether in the competitive world of professional hockey or the demanding arena of endurance sports. His achievement in the Ironman 70.3 Las Vegas serves as a reminder that athletes can be multidimensional, embracing new challenges and continually striving for excellence in all aspects of their lives.

Saskatoon Wild Press Conference 1. After a few sims how do you think the team is performing so far? 2. How has your player started of this season? 3. Is this your first season in the VHL as a whole? 4. What do you think of the city of Saskatoon? 5. What are better pancakes or waffles? 6. To continue the question above if you can only have 1 topping what would it be?

Review: The Freedom Bird do I need to say anything else? As for everything else this graphic is very sick! I really like how you added the tournament logo in the top left of the graphic it add to the graphic. I really like the effect you put over the image as well gives it a very frozen feel. The font choice works well with the frozen feel to the image in my opinion. The only thing that I'm not a huge fan of is just the blocky look of the tournament logo though not really a big deal just a personal thing. Overall this is a really awesome graphic! Rating: 9.6/10

Review: Hey buddy its me again! This is a really awesome graphic buddy! I really love how you gear at least some of you graphics to your VHLM team that you manage as it really makes feel special to be a player for your team! As for the rest of the graphic i really like how it turned out! The choices of players was excellent as all ways! the one small thing i noticed was Bedards number is slightly different than the player next to him but it is a small detail and just a personal thing! Overall this graphic is sick cant wait to see what you come out with next! Rating 9.1/10
