VHLM Rebrand Week: Ottawa This week has been determined to be the week in which teams across the VHL, and subsequent minor leagues, rebrand for a bit of fun and to allow greater interaction with the fans. This time around, the fans of the current Ottawa Lynx were polled in order to find a different animal to represent the team. Voting opened up a couple weeks ago asking fans which animal native to Ottawa would replace the beloved Lynx the best. With entries ranging from, Geese to Meese, (yes I know that’s improper pluralization but hey, it rhymes) the fans provided many different options to vote for. This year it has come down to a close race between a few very close competitors, Owls, Porcupine, Grey Wolves, and River Otters. The Owls came in with 45,243 votes just beating out the Geese by a couple hundred votes. The Porcupine reached 67,932 votes, a fair number of votes just shy of 7% of the Ottawa population. And we’re down to the final two options, the Grey Wolves and the River Otters. This season's rebrand for the Ottawa Lynx has been voted to be the Ottawa River Otters. The River Otters received 128,673 votes beating out the Grey Wolves by around 14,000 votes. By a slim margin the River Otters pulled ahead and were selected. There has been some noise about this on social media particularly questioning the ferocity of an Otter. Which, given the look of the animal itself versus how well the team has been doing lately seems to be a fair point. The now River Otters are leading the league with a 34-8-5 record. Jillian Woods and Kevin OConner are both leading the league, Woods with Points for a Defenseman(54) and OConner for Shorthanded Goals(1). Of course we can’t forget the unbelievable performance from Hugo Boss this season, leading the league in wins(34), shutouts(8), and goals against average(1.86). Now back to the topic of Otters. The River Otter is native to much of Canada and the United States, really only avoiding warmer climates. River Otters obviously thrive in cooler climates and in areas where there are an abundance of streams, ponds, and other bodies of water. While they may seem pretty cute and friendly on the outside, they can really tear up some fish and smaller mammals. Their main source of nourishment is fish and mussels and whatever lurks around in the rivers but from time to time they’ll go to shore and hunt for muskrats and small rabbits. They move quite quickly and are resilient to the cold much like the hockey players they were chosen to represent this year. In short, I think the fans came up with a great replacement for the Lynx. The river otter may not be quite as intimidating as a lynx but they’re unsuspectingly able to do what needs to be done when the time comes. The Ottawa fans have spoken and decided that the Lynx will be rebranded to the Ottawa River Otters for S93!

1. Where do you see yourself next season? Staying in the VHLM? Or moving up? -- I think I should be playing up in the VHLE next season given my current tpe is at the limit for the M. 2. What do you think has been the main reason behind our success this season? -- I would have to say our defense is coming in clutch this season. Jillian Woods has been putting in that work so far and has been getting points left and right. 3. Did you end up falling for any April fools jokes this year? -- None that I am aware of. 4. What's your favourite sport outside of hockey? What's your favourite teams? -- Favorite sport outside of hockey would be disc golf. Not so much a team based sport but Team Innova is pretty good. 5. If you could take over the VHL for a day what would you do? -- Probably have a shootout tournament where each team would send their best scorers to go 1v1. I don't know though probably just regular all star kinda stuff. 6. Whats your all time favourite movie? -- I really like Office Space. I think it really captures the office environment well and the humor in it is just right.

Had a great experience this season. Looking forward to the next! VHLM = +3 TPE

1. With the VHL entry draft coming up on the 9th how excited are you to be joining a new team? Is there anybody who you would KILL to have on your team? -- I'm excited for what's upcoming, I don't know if I could choose just one player to have on my team again. 2. We have new team pets with our kitty Litten, our dog Rocky, and out Puppy Growlithe how are you going to spoil them? Also don't worry you will be allowed to come back to the facility to hang with them. -- Of course they're going to get all the treats and toys they could ever beg for. Maybe sneak them some people food too if I'm feeling generous. 3. Once you get your big boy pay after being drafted to the show how will you spend tour newly earned money? -- Probably buy a nice house in the area and a Kawasaki Z900RS. 4. Your favourite AGM has been kidnapped by criminals and you have to fill his role what are you doing first? -- Putting on the weekly Press Conference of course. And maybe giving myself a bump in pay. 5. Are there any teammates who you will keep in touch, and hang out with after the gang is split up? -- I'd like to stay in touch with everyone, we had a great group this season. 6. Your AGM is doing the press conference this week do you like the change or would you rather @AJW continue doing it? -- I liked the questions this week, I think our AGM did a great job with them.

1. What a run! A second round exit is nothing to be disappointed about, top 4 in the league! After the loss, what were the emotions/thoughts going through your player's head? --We did great for being a relatively new team. We had lots of first season players and I think making this far should be something to celebrate. 2. End of the season is actually a beautiful time to finally get that extra sleep you've been craving, or maybe pick up a skill you've been wanting to try with your new free time. What will you do with your free time to start your off-season? -- In the off season, I'll be getting into starting a beef jerky business. Its something I regularly snack on and make myself anyway, I figure I should find a way to monetize it. 3. We had a lot of new friendly faces enter the locker room this season. So many bright and fun people put on the Bulls jersey! What was your favorite part about being a Bull this season? -- The energy in the locker room post win. Everybody was so excited and happy to be there. It was a fun season, we won a lot and had some great high scoring games. 4. Houston Texas, home of the Houston Bulls of the VHLM: RIOTS STRIKE!! Gang leader of the "Vencko's Sobriety Test" gang (VST for short) got his crew to riot through the streets of Houston after our loss to Philadelphia. Did you join in on the riots? Houston GM AJW was seen throwing a flaming pitchfork at a picture of Philly GM @Lemorse7. -- Well, what kind of teammate would I be had I not joined in. Of course I may have joined in disguise as to not be photographed at the event. 5. Let's talk about that draft! VHL and VHLE drafts are coming up, have any GMs started reaching out to interview you? Which team(s) are your favorite as of this week? -- A few have reached out Davos, Helsinki, and Seattle have reached out to me. I'm not to particular to where I go as long as that team has a similar energy to Houston. 6. It's been a really fun season but you can't hold onto the past, I'm already thinking of the next VHLM draft! Do you have any plans/goals for your player next season? Are you trying to earn that extra TPE per week? Maybe you want to hit a 30 goal milestone? -- I'd like to be more consistent with my graphics. I try to get around to them but once the 9-5 is over sometimes I just don't have the time. (a couple of them I may have made on the clock lol)
