Diego Machado, a renowned hockey player for the Saskatoon Wild, has recently taken the initiative to create a competitive adult hockey league in the Saskatoon area. Recognizing the passion for the sport within the community, Machado's vision aims to provide an organized and professional platform for adult players to showcase their skills, foster camaraderie, and continue their love for the game they grew up with.

As a professional athlete, Machado understands the importance of structured competition and the positive impact it can have on individuals and the community as a whole. Having experienced the thrill of playing in high-stakes games and witnessing the unity that arises from team sports, he believes that a well-organized adult hockey league can create similar opportunities for players in Saskatoon.

Whether someone is a former junior or college player looking to continue their career or a recreational player seeking more intense competition, SAHA welcomes everyone. It aims to foster an atmosphere of fair play, respect, and sportsmanship, ensuring that all participants can enjoy the game they love.

To bring his vision to life, Machado has partnered with local businesses, sponsors, and hockey enthusiasts who share his passion for the sport. Together, they have secured ice time at various rinks in the Saskatoon area and developed a comprehensive league structure that includes regular season games, playoffs, and an All-Star event to showcase the top talent within the league.

In addition to promoting healthy competition, Machado understands the importance of giving back to the community that has supported him throughout his career. As part of SAHA's mission, he plans to organize charity events and fundraisers that will benefit local organizations and initiatives. By combining the power of hockey with community outreach, Machado aims to make a lasting impact beyond the rink.

Word of the Saskatoon Adult Hockey Association has quickly spread throughout the local hockey community, generating excitement and anticipation among players of all ages. Registration for the league has surpassed expectations, with teams forming and individuals eagerly signing up for the chance to be part of this new chapter in Saskatoon's hockey scene.

Machado's commitment to excellence and his determination to create a competitive adult hockey league is not only a testament to his love for the sport but also to his desire to see his community thrive. His leadership and dedication have inspired others to follow in his footsteps, driving the growth of adult hockey in Saskatoon and creating opportunities for players to stay connected to the game in a meaningful way.

Diego Machado's creation of the Saskatoon Adult Hockey Association demonstrates the transformative power of sports and the immense impact a dedicated individual can have on a community.

Review: This looks amazing buddy really good job! I really love how everything in the graphic just works together and nothing feels or looks like to much is going on in the graphic. One of the parts that really stands out and adds to it is the paint splatter you did as a boarder between the meshing of the 2 images and it really brings it together while also giving it almost a separate feel to the graphic. The only thing i will say is that Bauer goalie sticks just aint it should have been photoshopped to something better lol. 

overall i really love how this turned out and think its one of my personal favorite graphics i have seen so far, Great work! 
Rating: 9.6/10

Review: Being a wild teammate I just have to review this.
I really like what you did with this graphic! I really like the creativity with the background in your graphic as it somehow doesn't steal the spotlight from your player are i love that aspect of it. I also really like the almost see through effect you have on this as it really makes it feel unique. One of the things i noticed was the ducks logo on the side of the helmet and not a wild logo just for me personally takes away from the immersion but its a very minor detail. 

Overall very good job my friend! rating 8.9/10

What would Diego Machado do as commissioner for a day well i will tell you in this debriefing of the changes he would make in the day.
First order of business... 
Dissolution of the VHLE:
Diego Machado would advocate for the deletion of the Virtual Hockey League Europe (VHLE) to streamline the operations and resources of the VHL. Recognizing the potential for a more cohesive and unified league, Machado would aim to consolidate all teams under the VHL and VHLM banners.

Expansion of the VHL and VHLM:
To foster growth and increase competition, Machado would propose expanding both the VHL and VHLM by adding new teams to each league. This expansion would not only enhance the talent pool but also provide fans with more exciting matchups and rivalries.

New Team Names and Locations:
With the expansion of the leagues, Diego Machado would have a keen interest in establishing new team names and selecting suitable locations for these teams. Here are a few examples:

VHL Expansion Teams:
a) Seattle Stormriders: Machado would introduce a team based in Seattle, Washington, embracing the region's passion for sports and paying homage to the city's rich history.
b) Miami Wave: Recognizing the popularity of hockey in warm-weather locations, Machado would introduce a team in Miami, Florida, representing the city's vibrant culture and energy.
c) Victoria Stingrays: Adding another Canadian team will add to the growth of the game in that side of the country while also creating a rival for Seattle.
d) Rome Gladiators: Pope Francis need a place to play for obvious reasons. 

VHLM Expansion Teams:
a) Quebec Frostbite: As an expansion team in the VHLM, Quebec Frostbite would cater to the passionate hockey fanbase in the province of Quebec, Canada.
b) Anchorage Icebreakers: Machado would establish a team in Anchorage, Alaska, taking advantage of the state's love for hockey and embracing its snowy environment.
c) Porto Dragons: Need to expand to Portugal to expand the game in none popular hockey countries. 
d) Winnipeg Royals: Winnipeg has a history of producing good hockey players and deserves to have a spot in the new VHLM.

Enhanced Developmental Programs:
Understanding the significance of player development, Machado would focus on improving the developmental programs within the VHLM. He would invest in robust scouting systems, advanced coaching resources, and comprehensive player development plans, ensuring that young talent has the necessary support and opportunities to flourish.

as you see these changes would greatly improve the VHL as a whole and bring peace, freedom, justice and security to the new era of VHL.

1) We are getting towards the end of the season, do you think we can make the playoffs? Why or why not?

I think there is a chance we can make it.

2) How is your player doing this season? Did they meet the goals you set at the beginning of the season?

So far he has picked up the pace and is around where i think he should be. 

3) What team, if we were to make the playoffs, would you like to play in the first round?

Any team but maybe Huston. 

4) Have you been watching any NHL Development Camps? If so, what team?

i have not.

5) How do you feel about the NHL Draft for your team? Did you get the players you wanted? Why or why not?

It was interesting . I don't like what my teams fans were like towards the player we picked though

6) If you were to add a team to the VHLM, what city would they be from and what would their name be?

Victoria Stingrays. 

Viper my fearless leader i never knew you made graphics! I like this graphic quite a bit! One of my favorite parts is the very faint Saskatoon Wild logo in the top right corner. I also like the font choice for the player name it adds a bit more style to the image. The one thing im not that big of a fan of is the effect you put on the image just a personal thing as im not a big fan of the fuzzy kind of effect. 

I would love a image of my own one day if you ever feel like it! 

Rating: 8.7/10

Review: I really like the way this turned out! Probably my favorite part of this graphic has to be the background, I really like the misty forest mountain vibe it really adds so much to this image! The text is very nice as well as it mixes well with your player's jersey and really works well with your background choice. Although i do think that it does not need to be as big as its almost the main part of the image. 

Overall i really like the vibe of this image and if you want to do one for me that would be awesome!

Saskatoon, June 28, 2023 — In an inspiring display of compassion and community involvement, Diego Machado, star player of the Saskatoon Wild hockey team, has taken a step beyond the ice rink by opening a new animal shelter in the heart of the city. This exciting venture not only showcases Machado's commitment to animal welfare but also provides a safe haven for countless animals in need.

Machado's love for animals has been evident throughout his young career, as he frequently advocates for pet adoption and promotes responsible pet ownership. Now, with the inauguration of the Machado Animal Shelter, his passion for animals has reached new heights. The facility, located on Main Street, boasts state-of-the-art amenities and a dedicated team of veterinarians and caretakers who share Machado's vision.

The grand opening of the shelter was a highly anticipated event, with numerous supporters and well-wishers gathering to witness this remarkable initiative. Mayor Sarah Thompson, who attended the ceremony, praised Machado for his extraordinary efforts, stating, "Diego has always been a role model for our community, and now, with the opening of this shelter, he has set an example for all of us to follow. This is a testament to his unwavering commitment to making Saskatoon a better place for both humans and animals."

The Machado Animal Shelter aims to address the pressing issue of abandoned and mistreated animals in the city. It offers a safe environment where these animals can find shelter, medical care, and a chance for a loving forever home. The facility has separate sections for dogs, cats, and small animals, ensuring the specific needs of each species are met with utmost care.

One of the unique features of the shelter is its focus on rehabilitation and training programs. Machado believes that every animal deserves a second chance, regardless of their past experiences. To that end, the shelter employs professional trainers who work tirelessly to help the animals overcome behavioral issues and increase their chances of adoption. This innovative approach has already yielded promising results, with several success stories of once-neglected animals finding loving families.

Diego Machado's commitment to animal welfare extends beyond the shelter's walls. The shelter actively collaborates with local schools and community organizations to raise awareness about responsible pet ownership and the importance of spaying and neutering. Machado himself regularly visits schools, sharing his own experiences and encouraging young students to be compassionate towards animals.

The support from the Saskatoon community has been overwhelming, with many individuals stepping forward to volunteer their time and resources. Local businesses have also joined hands with Machado, offering donations and sponsorships to ensure the shelter's sustainability and continuous growth. This collective effort showcases the incredible unity and compassion that exists within Saskatoon.

In addition to providing a haven for animals in need, the Machado Animal Shelter also hosts adoption events on a regular basis. Prospective pet owners are invited to meet the animals and potentially find their new furry family members. The shelter's thorough adoption process ensures that animals are placed in caring and responsible homes, furthering their mission of promoting lifelong companionship.

Diego Machado's dedication to the Machado Animal Shelter is a testament to his character and serves as an inspiration for both his fellow athletes and the community at large. His commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of animals is commendable, and it serves as a reminder that small acts of kindness can create a ripple effect that transforms the world around us.

As the Machado Animal Shelter embarks on this noble endeavor, it invites the citizens of Saskatoon to join hands in supporting this vital cause. By working together, we can create a brighter future for all creatures, great and small.

1) We're just under 1/3rd of the way through the season, is this where you expected us to be? Why or why not?

No i thought we would be near the top.

2) What is one thing you want your player to improve on as the season progresses and why?

Fixing my +/- for sure 

3) What team in the VHLM do you think we have the best results against and why?

Halifax

4) What's your favorite type of dish and where is it from?

Burgers probably somewhere in the USA

5) Are you excited for the NHL draft? Do you think there is going to be any big trades on draft day?

I could see a few, like with teams like the Flyers and LA

6) If you were to travel, would you rather take an airplane or a boat to your destination and why?
Airplane because i always loved flying. 

Review: I really really like what you did with this graphic! I think the way the blue color and the wood background really mix well together allowing your player to stick out, in addition with the blue neon boarder really draws all the attention to him. I think the smoke is a very minimal but much needed make it all come together and really finish this awesome graphic! The one thing that i personally find is that the name is almost not apart of the image as it off to the side and is almost feels like a separate thing all together, while the background of the wood does not match the other wood background so it just messes with me a bit. 
Overall I love this graphic really good job! 

Rating: 9.1/10

Review: I really like the vibe of this graphic! I really like the simplistic look but with a little bit of added flash. The logo edit was done flawlessly but i do wish you had added the shoulder logos as well as it would have elevated the graphic even more! I personally would change the text color for your player to something that isn't that same color of blue as it almost hides it in the image even more so with the blue line behind it. 
Overall I really like this graphic keep up the good work!

Through his social media channels, the hockey star shared photos and videos of his volunteer experience, encouraging his followers to join the fight against hunger. His posts quickly gained traction, generating widespread support and inspiring others to get involved.

1) How do you feel about the start of the season for the team?

Not the best, but i think we will improve. 

2) Is your player playing how you expected? Why or why not?

No! I was expecting him to be at least 1 ppg. 

3) What team besides ours in the VHLM is the most surprising so far?

Mexico City 

4) Do you follow the VHL at all and if so, what's your favorite team?

not so much as I'm new but as of now the Toronto Legion. 

5) What big UFA do you think will sign to your favorite NHL team?

I don't really think they will go after any big name UFA's. 

6) If you could travel anywhere in the world, where are you going and why?

Japan for sure. 

Mr. Atlas himself! I absolutely love how this graphic turned out! It legitimately looks like something you would see when they announce the starting line up and they put the image up on the jumbotron for the player! The editing you did to the image makes it look so realistic that I almost forgot that the Toronto Legion are a virtual team haha. The only thing that I found was the shoulder logo is a little off of where it should be but I'm sure It's because the way the jersey is sitting it would be to much of a pain to make it bend and still look as legit as it does. Overall this is a awesome imagine and I hope when I eventually make the Legion roster I can convince you to make me one haha!

Rating: 9.8/10

This is a cool and unique looking graphic. One of my favorite parts of the graphic is defiantly the guy breathing fire and lighting the blade of the stick on fire. The tattoo on him is is also very well and is almost like its not even edited on. The only thing for me is the kind of solar glare rings you have personally it just catches me first rather than the detail you put on the guy/ hockey stick, but it could just be a personal thing. It really looks like you put a lot of time and effort into this graphic very nice work!

Huston Bulls

Huston Bulls, Should be a close game each time we play.

6) Do pineapples belong on pizza, yes or no and why?
Only ham and pineapple other than that no. 

Review: 
I really like the way this graphic turned out! The way you have like a duplicating effect on the player really looks good in the style of graphic. I really like how you made the last name transparent so it doesn't take away from your player while the first name is small and flashy while also using a different font for both making it unique. I do think the background being purple is a little bit much for me as it takes a bit away from the rest of the image but that could just be a personal thing for me.
Really good work! 9.1/10   

Review: I really like this graphic the wood background gives it a rustic look that just really works well with the logo. The contrast wit the yellow and the dark background really makes the logo pop and makes it the star of the show and the first thing you see and as you look at it more you start to notice the excellent detail in the background that really completes the image. Really well done! I think the only thing i would change is the glow behind the words as its a bit much in my opinion. Great work 9.2/10 

1) Where do you think Saskatoon is going to finish in the standings this season?

At the least playoffs but at the best 1st place!!

2) What are some personal goals you want to set for your player this upcoming season?

I would love to Get my +/- back up and put up at least around a point a game. 

3) What is your favorite NHL team and why?

Montreal (I know). It was mainly because of Carey Price. 

4) Is there anyone on the team you're looking forward to playing with?

Im looking forward to playing with everyone! 

5) Who would you consider our rival this season and why?

Huston Bulls 

6) What are some of your favorite hobbies outside of the VHL?
Hockey, and gaming for the most part
