  3. The VHL S98 Playoffs are set to begin and the Toronto Legion are gearing up for an intense showdown against the New York Americans. The Americans recently secured their spot in the playoffs by winning in the wildcard series, demonstrating their resilience and determination. Now they face the Legion, who have been a consistent force throughout the season and finished first in the North American Conference and second in the league. This matchup promises to be a thrilling battle as both teams bring unique strengths to the ice. The Legion will rely on their well-rounded roster and strategic gameplay, while the Americans aim to carry their momentum from the wildcard victory into this series. Fans can expect high-energy performances, dramatic moments, and the kind of hockey that defines the VHL playoffs. We had an opportunity to meet up with Legion left winger Dorji Khan for an interview before the series begins to ask him about the playoffs. Reporter: Dorji, thanks for taking the time to chat! The playoffs are here and the Legion are set to face the New York Americans. What’s the mood in the locker room right now? Dorji Khan: Always a pleasure. The mood? Electric. Everyone’s dialed in and ready to go. We’ve worked all season for this moment and we know the Americans are coming in hot after their wildcard win. But this is what hockey’s all about..the intensity, the competition, the chance to prove ourselves. Reporter: How do you feel about your own performance this season? Any highlights that stand out for you? Dorji Khan: It’s been a solid season for me and I’m grateful for the role I’ve been able to play for my team. My focus has always been on helping the team succeed whether that’s putting points on the board or shutting down plays on defense. If I had to pick a highlight, It would be hitting that 30 goal mark. It was my personal objective all season long and I’m glad that I was able to achieve that. Reporter: The Americans have some serious momentum. How are you preparing for this matchup? Dorji Khan: We’re respecting their game, for sure. They’ve got talent and grit and they proved that in the wildcard. But we’re focusing on our own strengths. We have to keep sticking to what works for us like we did all season and bringing our “A” game every shift. We have the depth to rival their best players in any situations. We have to keep pushing hard and working hard like we did during the season. At the end of the day, it could go either way in the series, but as a group I think we know we have to take any opportunity that comes our way and capitalize on it. Reporter: Hopefully next time, you’ll be in round 2! Thank you Dorji for doing this and we all wish you the best of luck in this series against New York. Dorji Khan: Thank you for having me. It’s always a pleasure to be here doing these interviews! 510 words PT April 21 to 27
  4. 1. Most likely Richmond or Gavilrovs. I think we have enough depth to counter them 2. Montreal vs Washington. Best team in the league vs the underdog who wasn't supposed to be in the playoffs. 3. I'm ready to sacrifice myself and give my soul to simon for a few cups 4. All depends how I'm feeling. I can load it with a lot of stuff but also sometimes just keep it super simple with cheese and salsa 5. I think they both had a great career and made an impact on their respective teams. An honor to play with them in their final season 6. I love structure but once in a while just winging it is fun lol
  5. 1. I think we can hold them off. They had a hot streak for a while, but still think we got this. 2. I've been to a few. Favorite was.. well 2 words.. open bar. 3. Everyone is doing their jobs and contributing. 4. Without a doubt nice weather lol 5. Any of them will be a good matchup. We just need to keep sticking to what works for us and play our game. 6. Italian wedding soup or french onion soup
  6. Hopefully Dorji Khan can follow in similar footsteps and be a steal for Toronto. Drafted 22nd and currently 13th in TPE for class of s94
  7. 1. I think the gms didn't want to give too much especially picks for the s100 class. 2. I'm lucky to not have any seasonal allergies. Only thing I'm aware to be allergic to is poison ivy. 3. If we keep doing what we are doing, we will be in good shape. 4. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Some actors. Some actors always stay in the same movie style and seeing them in a different kind of movie throws me off because it's not what they are known for. Sometimes it works for, sometimes it doesn't 5. I haven't really checked out the names yet but will in the next few days while the list grows 6. Classic butter is always good but I do enjoy dill pickle seasoning.
  8. As the season passes its halfway mark and the trade deadline, Khan's journey is a story of resilience and determination. The reporter who is eager to delve into the mind of this exceptional giant, sits down with him to discuss the team's achievements so far, the impact of his play and his personal goals for the remainder of the season. This conversation promises to offer insights into the mindset of a player who is not only chasing his first Victory Cup ,but also tries to inspire his fellow teammates to push themselves to the limit. Reporter: Welcome back Dorji! It’s nice to see you again and thank you for doing this. Dorji Khan: It’s always good to be here. Reporter: Let’s dive into the questions. You guys were on top the VHL standings not long ago but still managed to stay in the number one position in the North American Conference. How does it feel to be on top of your conference at this point in the season? Dorji Khan: It was an amazing feeling to be at the top of the league, but I also think we have a lot of work a head of us. We started the season off strong but now teams especially in the other conference are catching up in points. Some have already caught up. We just got to keep our heads up and keep pushing ahead. Reporter: What do you think has been the key to your team’s success so far? Dorji Khan: I truly think that our consistency and determination have contributed to our success. The team has been working well together and every one is helping in their own way. Reporter: How would you assess your own performance this season compared to your expectations? Dorji Khan: I’m having an okay season. Nothing spectacular. What matters the most is the team winning. My expectations were maybe a little high for myself but I still feel like I have some chances of hitting my 30 goal mark this season. Reporter: What goals are you setting for yourself for the remainder of the season? Dorji Khan: Besides trying to hit the 30 goal mark? Probably just keep being responsible defensively and try to help the team any way I can. Reporter: Do you feel there’s an added pressure knowing your team is being viewed as one of the top contenders? Dorji Khan: Of course. If anybody in a contender spot doesn’t feel the pressure, there’s something wrong with them. How we deal with the pressure is what makes or breaks a team. Like I’ve said before, we have to keep our heads up and keep pushing forward. Even if we are ahead of some team, doesn’t mean we just sit back and hope for the best. It’s not over until it’s over. There’s 72 games in a season and we need to make every one of them count. Reporter: Thank you again Dorji for doing this! And we’ll catch you next time! Dorji Khan: Not a problem. It’s always a pleasure to be here. 513 Words PT week april 7 to 13
  9. 1. That's tough. I feel we have a very well balanced lineup. 2. Christian Bale and fav. joker is Heath Ledger. 3. I feel like every team needs someone like him . Someone who can deliver hits is a constant threat. If you have the puck and see him coming, you might try to pass early and try to avoid the hit but end up missing your pass.. or you try to go through and get knocked hard. 4. I have my fingers crossed for Montreal but right now they are in the playoffs by 1 point 5. I have high hopes for an epic S100 draft class. 6. Probably starting a fire lol
  10. When the Toronto Legion of the VHL takes to the ice, there’s one name that commands respect like no other: Dorji Khan, fondly dubbed the "Mongolian Stallion". For a Theme Week dedicated to "Tough Guys", there’s no better candidate to highlight than Khan, a quiet yet imposing figure whose toughness stems from more than just physicality. He doesn’t speak loudly or boast about his strength, but his silent presence on the ice speaks volumes. Although Dorji Khan has only one recorded fight in the VHL, his reputation as an unyielding force precedes him. Teammates and opponents alike whisper about his sheer aura, intimidation without a word spoken. It’s not just his 6’8" frame or his 240lbs of pure muscle that strikes fear into others, but an unshakable composure that seems to say: “You don’t want to mess with me”. As a result, few have dared to challenge him and even fewer have lived to tell a tale of triumph against him. Yet what makes Khan a unique tough guy in the league isn’t his physicality alone, but his character. He is humble, almost monk like in his approach to challenges. He neither seeks conflict nor usually chooses violence, but when duty calls he answers without even flinching. This quiet strength is a trait that has carried him through a life filled with challenges. Born and raised in the rugged landscapes of Mongolia, Khan grew up learning to face adversity head on. His sheer size made him a natural target for challengers from a young age. Being a descendant of the great Genghis Khan, he has that fight within him. The title “Mongolian Stallion” didn’t come lightly, it was earned. Legend has it that people from all across Mongolia and of all ages sought to test themselves against this gentle giant. Some saw it as a way to earn glory while others saw an opportunity to measure their own strength. But no matter how many stepped forward, none ever got the best of the Mongolian Stallion. His calm demeanor disguised a stubborn and determined will and his natural ability made him a daunting opponent. Translating that resilience to the ice, Khan has become a cornerstone of the Toronto Legion’s roster. While he may not actively seek out fights, his presence is enough to deter any reckless aggression from opposing teams. Few players would risk a confrontation with someone who embodies raw power and discipline. For Khan, toughness isn’t about throwing punches or losing tempers. It’s about standing tall, staying composed and protecting what matters most. Off the ice Khan’s humility shines even brighter. He’s a man of few words, preferring actions to do the talking. When asked about his rare moments of combat on the ice, he simply shrugs as if to say: “It’s just part of the game”. But to those who know him, it’s clear that his toughness is deeply ingrained in who he is. He’s both a product of his Mongolian heritage and the battles he’s faced throughout his life. Dorji Khan reminds us that toughness comes in many forms. For him, it’s a quiet yet intimidating demeanor, iron willed, a determined spirit that doesn’t seek to dominate but stands firm when the need arises. He is the kind of tough guy who doesn’t need the spotlight to shine, because his strength lies not in showmanship, but in character. Whether you call him the Mongolian Stallion or the Silent Guardian, one thing is certain…Dorji Khan is a name that will continue command respect and keep the peace through a powerful presence in the VHL. 596 Words PT- March 31 to April 6
  11. In a nail biting showdown between the Legion and Dragons, Toronto finally beat DC for the first time this season in a dramatic shootout after a hard fought game. The first period was a defensive masterclass with both teams struggling to create opportunities while shutting down every threat that came in their end. Toronto managed to shoot just 9 shots while DC had 7. The second period saw the game spring to life. Spanish Moon Moth broke the deadlock with a goal just 1:42 into the period, giving energy to the Legion. The intensity ramped up as both teams started shooting from every angle to get the puck on the net. Toronto fired 17 shots while DC responded with 18. Tensions boiled over late in the period when Raimo Tuominen and Nikita Yolishev dropped the gloves in a heated fight. The third period seemed very promising and delivered even more drama. Walter Fitzroy Jr. notched his 4th goal of the season giving Toronto a 2-0 lead. However, the Dragons came back with two consecutive goals to force the game into overtime. Despite chances on both sides, the extra period remained scoreless, leading to a shootout. Konstyantyn Shevchenko emerged as the hero, scoring the decisive goal and Dalkr Vidarsson made the big save to secure the Legion's victory. It seemed as if DC was going to be Toronto’s kryptonite this season since Toronto lost 3 of their 5 games against DC, one being a shootout loss. Finally for the Legion, they managed to slay the Dragon. 255 words
  12. 1. Our consistent effort 2. Professor X. The mind control without magneto's helmet is probably overpowered 3. Most likely would have to sell our souls. 4. That's tough. I would say movies with Jim carey, will ferrell, mike myers or chris farley. For quick pick me up youtube, I really enjoy Norm Macdonald 5. Yes! Definitely! Mini games for capped or even uncapped TPE too would be nice. 6. Wrigley's doublemint has been my favorite since I was little.
  13. With just over a quarter of the season gone, Toronto is still at the top of the North American conference with a record of 19-2-1 and 39 points. They just recently defeated Moscow and broke their 15 game winning streak. Moscow seemed impossible to beat for a while, but the Legion managed to find a way. As of now, Toronto has a 6 game winning streak and everyone is doing their part. The team seems to be well balanced both with their forward group and defensive core. Spanish Moon Moth is leading the team with 15 goals and is 8th overall in the league in the goal section. Andrew Skilton is on an absolute tear as a defenseman this season. He’s leading the team with 34 points is 2nd for assists in the league with 29 assists and 5th in the league in points. Not a lot of people seen Toronto high up in the standings this season especially after losing Harry Callahan and Diego Machado, but GM Doug did his homework and all his hard work in the off season seems to be paying off. 186 words

  15. The Toronto Legion are having a hot start in a season to remember, sitting tied at the top of the VHL standings with a impressive 12-1-1 record and 25 points. A significant contributor to this success has been their rising left winger, Dorji Khan. He managed to get 8 goals and 6 assist in the first 14 games of the season. I had the chance to sit down with Dorji Khan to discuss his successful season start, the team’s success and what makes this Toronto squad such a force to be reckoned with. Reporter: Dorji, this has been a standout season for both you and the Legion. What do you think has been the key to your success on the ice? Dorji Khan: Honestly, it all starts with the team. We have such great chemistry in and out of the locker room and that translates onto the ice. Guys like Andrew Skilton and Shevshenko are stepping up. All our new acquisitions during the off season are working hard. It definitely is makes my job easier out there. Reporter: Speaking of Andrew Skilton, he’s leading the team in points .As a defenseman, that is no small feat. How does it feel to play alongside someone like him? Dorji Khan: It’s awesome. Skilton is not only a top tier player but also a great leader. He’s turning into a true star defenseman and a cornerstone for this team. He shows up every night and gives his 100%. You always know what he will bring to every game. It gives us confidence to know he’s there in case we make a turnover, to block shots in front of the net or to break up a play and send us on a breakout. Reporter: The Legion are tied for first in the league and have a game in hand. What’s the mindset in the locker room as you look to maintain your position at the top? Dorji Khan: We’re not taking anything for granted. The league is so competitive that you can’t afford to relax, not even for a moment. We’re focused on one game at a time and we’re determined to make that game in hand count. Every point matters and we’ve got our sights set on staying at the top. Reporter: What’s your personal goals for the rest of the season? Dorji Khan: For me, it’s all about consistency. I want to keep contributing offensively while also being reliable in all three zones. If I can do that, I know I’ll be helping the team in the best way possible. I’d love to be able to hit the 30 goal mark this season but as long as the team keeps winning, it’s all that really matters. Of course winning the Championship would be the cherry on top. Reporter: Finally, what advice would you give to young players in their race to be successful in this league? Dorji Khan: Stay disciplined and never stop learning. Hockey is a game of constant improvement and there’s always something you can do to get better. Work hard, then work even harder, trust your teammates and most of all, have fun. That’s the recipe for success. 529 Words PT March17-23
