Amazing as usual! My favorites have to be those Reaper’s alternates! Those are wild, but super cool!

1. Well I'm a glass half full kind of person, so I think we're doing fantastic! But yeah, it'd be nice to have a bit more security in the standings, but I think our team is good enough that we shouldn't fall out of the playoff race either. It's probably more about battling for favorable playoff matchups. 2. I have no idea if my player has peaked this season or if there is more to come lol. It seemed like I started the season pretty strong, but the last stretch of games has been pretty rough ngl. But I guess I really shouldn't complain with 29 points in 39 games lol, my prediction for myself this season was 35 points total! 3. Yes, I think Red Panda @Lemorse7 is one of the best in the league! I would not at all be surprised to see them up there with the best by season's end. Also, looking up Red Panda gifs, why have I never realized they're so cute?!? 4. The strongest asset to this team is definitely @mattyIceman Kimi Raikkonen's ice cold demeanor. Nothing phases him and he's a true professional. Also his French might come in handy since Simon's not talking to me anymore... 5. Well, punchbuggy is pretty fun, although being in the European Conference and based in Riga, we fly pretty much everywhere so my fun is ruined because I hate flying and there's no punchbuggies in the sky... yet. 6. Sadly, no summer vacations planned this year. It's one of the downsides of being a semi-broke college student having to work for the summer, but on the plus side I'm almost done with college and I'm a bit of a home-body anyway so I'm not really complaining.

Welcome!

It means Mickey Dickson won GM of the Season

I'm not even sure you reached the final tbh...

...you might be alone on this one, sadly

Not to rain on the parade, but are you sure that happened?

This is so cool, I love it!!!

Well that is one way to choose lol! I suppose I did ask for spicy

I’ve missed these articles so much! Congrats on Czechia winning Gold! Hope Ben recovers well and can get back on the straight and narrow. Ondrej, well, I’m not worried— I feel like this is pretty typical for him . Seriously, great stuff!!

I’m just here for the Ash Sparks cult. Ash Sparks is amazing and I love a good cult.

well deserved shoutout to @AJW! I can’t imagine all the work that goes into it and I’m not surprised that he’s done such a great job— but it’s been even better than I could’ve expected!

As much as I like Jack and Luke has huge potential, Quinn really went to another level this season and it’s so fun watching him skate in the offensive zone!

Congrats! That's awesome!

I totally agree!

This is awesome! Such a fun backstory for your player and it really conveys the humble beginnings that helped form him to become the true team player and leader that he is now. This breakout season has got me really excited to see how far your player can go and I want to see the realization of this story arc with Dorji Khan taking the VHL by storm!

I really appreciate the shoutout! I still think Bucatini is gonna win this race, but it should be fun heading into the second half of the season! Hope to see Annie Oaks in the mix too!

1. What’s your favorite part thing about the VHL? And what keeps you coming back daily, staying involved, and recreating? 2. As editor of the VSN, describe the perfect media spot— what features should a good media spot have and what are some things to avoid? 3. As a GM, how do you balance team success with what players’ individual preferences? For example, how would you handle a situation where a player wants to stay on the team but there’s a trade opportunity that will definitely make the team better? (Specifically at the VHL level) Edit: This is a great idea btw, looking forward to it!

Phil looking for the haters...

Every week, it's always so difficult to decide on who to select as the Halifax SuperSailor. This week, in particular, really saw the team come together and battle through a tough stretch of games, capped off by wins against two of the other top contenders this season-- Miami and Mexico City. With only 1 regulation loss in the last 24 games, the team has continued to roll against all opposition. Goaltender Jon Webber III @Webberj has continued to play lights-out hockey between the pipes for the 21st, recording his 6th shutout of the season last night against Miami. If you asked his teammates, he'd be a nominee for SuperSailor practically every week! New acquisition, Anthony Simmons III @Starchychaff has also been an instant fit in the Halifax lineup and has racked up 10 goals and 10 assists in 12 games so far with the team. Robin Sierra @ethanjaeda has cooled down a little bit after a torrid start, but is still a lethal weapon with 54 points in 28 games. We could run through the entire team and there would be something notable to say about each player and their contributions to the team's success thus far, but there's only one SuperSailor each week and the honor this week belongs to Boris Bone-Breaker. With an even 28 points in 28 games, the 6'6" Russian man-mountain is more than grit and sandpaper-- but he most definitely has that too. A true two-way defender that takes pleasure in laying the body on opponents, Bone-Breaker has been a monster on the Halifax blueline and only seems to get better with each passing game. Currently, Boris ranks 6th in the VHLM in points by defensemen with his 28, and 7th in the league with 82 hits-- 3 hits more than teammate Dorji Khan @Oddpurplefly who ranks 2nd among forwards in this respect. Despite his broken English and gruff demeanor, Bone-Breaker is also loved and appreciated in the Halifax locker room by his teammates and team staff who are certainly relieved he's a teammate and not an opponent. In all seriousness, @RileyL has remained consistently active so far this season with updating and can be seen in the locker room almost daily just checking in and staying involved with team activities. This kind of presence really goes a long way in a team environment-- even if it is as simple as counting in the Discord-- and can be encouraging for other players to get involved as well. Halifax took a swing on Bone-Breaker with the 5th overall pick in the draft this offseason and so far that pick is paying dividends. For his contributions to the team, both on and off the ice this past week, congratulations to Boris Bone-Breaker, our Week 2 SuperSailor! ༻❁༺

This is really well written! And I really hope the Nighthawks can make a strong playoff run this season— maybe even with another Victory Cup! Unless you’re playing Riga, of course. But with the recent regular season success you’ve had, Malmo definitely deserves better this season. Just don’t let AJ know I’m rooting for him!

This is the correct answer!

Your graphics are awesome! They're really clean and the colors are bright and pop really nicely!
