STZ

Oh god no, not my right hand..

I think that Training Camps should be extended a little further than two days, especially when they land on the weekend.. More specifically because I know Maxy is outta town till Sunday #favoritism

wtf: "You have reached your quota of positive votes for the day" Awesome article. Super Cup screwed over Team Canada with Os and Tayls in their prime tbh.

Seattle, Washington. After a night of shock at the VHL Awards, everyone has left to go back to the pre-season training camps. Some players, such as Connor Low, are going back with a lot more hardware. Ethan Osborne picked up League MVP and Most Outstanding Player, however many expect this to be his final season with the Seattle Bears. In the off-season, Osborne blew $25 Million Dollars on an intense workout that would hope to cure the "Age-Virus" that has crippled so many before him. It is rumored that this virus swells up your ankles so you can't put on skates, and locks your shoulders so you can't move your arms. Many doctors have attributed this to the VHL's rigorous schedule of having roughly 6 seasons in one year - that's 432 games a year, not including playoff games. So while Osborne may have purchased one more year of functionality from the "Age-Virus" which is sometimes referred to as Depreciation, it seems it has put Osborne into a financial tail-spin. Osborne was questioned why he stuck around the Award Ceremony afterward, as many believed it was for sentimental reasons, "I need all the money I can get. I skipped college in order to pursue my dream to be a VHL superstar. I think my Dad's Janitorial Company is hiring in the summer!"

helluva squad you guys have there.

Well this is it. Can’t believe this day is here. It feels like I’ve invested so much time in this player, and it actually really sucks this has to happen. When I first came to the VHL, I never would have imagined I’d be as immersed as I am today. The community, the league, everything, it’s great. I envisioned Osborne to be a decent player that was a team-first player. I really can’t believe the evolution into a superstar that he became. Winning a cup was the highlight of his career. However, being the first first-gen taken first overall in the VHL was really huge. Getting 4 Grimm Awards was great. Capping my final active season off with an MVP and Slobo Award was also unimaginable. I’ve met so many great people on this site, and I’d like to thank each and every one of them for making my time here so enjoyable. All the players I’ve played with have been great. The new player also means a fresh start with new opportunities - although I’ll never miss the run with Osborne and how much fun it really was. Before I go out I feel like I should really give shoutouts. I could probably go on for days about every member who affected me (hell, I did a full VHL Magazine shouting out every member lol). Instead, I’m going to shoutout two guys that really stand out. Higgins - First and foremost, Thank you Higgy. You took a huge chance on Osborne taking me over two amazing recreate members. Not only that, but my entire career I played next to you, and it was honestly a fuckin blast. It was a fun ride with Helsinki and it was so entertaining sitting in the passenger seat. You are the reason Osborne had sim success, as you always knew how to get the most out of him (all those resims and rigging). Higgy put an amazing franchise together and always surrounded us with players that were fun to play with. You’re a major reason the past 1.5 years have been a blast. Victor - The one guy who gave me opportunity after opportunity right off the hop. You hooked me up with my first grader job, and vouched for me every time I needed it. I don’t think my stock as a member would have risen as fast if you weren’t there. I’ve been a grader, VHLM Mag Writer, VHL Mag Editor, BOG member, VHLM GM, and VHL GM. I’m not saying you’re responsible for all my jobs - but you definately helped me get each opportunity in some way. I still don’t really know why I was given the benefit of the doubt right off the hop - but I’m grateful. Anyways, I went on a lot longer than I thought. Again, thanks to the entire community. I can’t wait to do this all over again.. BORNE TO BE WYLDE

Ugly.. In a good way.

Thanks to all those who voted for me, For the Outstanding Award too. I gotta say I really gave it everything I had with Osborne, and it's nice to see him getting some real individual awards in his last active season. Now, we get the Bears a Cup this year, and I'll be happy.

Congrats Smarch:)
