  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. 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

  9. 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
  10. 1. Player had a slow start but picking up steam 2. I use my BBQ all winter but my go to is a nice t bone steak 3. I'm surprised by our team being first in our conference for now 4. I have to be really tired in order to sleep anywhere but my bed 5. I would let it ride for now. I think the team is putting up a great effort as it is right now. But I do expect to hit a few bumps along the way, so I think then would be the time to shuffle 6. @LucyXpher Is a big part of the reason why I'm still in the league after a less than impressive beginning. She helped and guided me as soon as she drafted me in the 5th round of the VHLM draft. For that I am very thankful. ( I was a steal for Halifax and now proving to be a steal for Toronto! ) Played for her 2 seasons in Halifax then I was her AGM for just a bit over a season and I think that is when she started going crazy with trades .
  11. 1. Just excited to get games again! 2. NHL 25 or DayZ 3. I think it could balance itself. We have a strong depth and our depth could be what really helps us 4. John Wick no questions asked lol 5. I hope to hit the 30 goal mark. I was 3 short last season 6. I'd say Celebrini but Hutson as a D is definitely up there too
  12. @dylanjj37 this is the job for you!
  13. Dorji Khan, left winger for the Toronto Legion in the VHL, sat in the empty locker room with head in his hands. Every one else had left but Dorji needed time to process what just happened. The sting of their second round playoff loss kept on chipping at his heart, but what weighed most heavily was saying goodbye to two legendary teammates, Harry Callahan and Diego Machado. Their departure from the team left a void in the Legion’s locker room. The off season just began and Dorji knew he needed to escape the echoing silence of the empty rink. He decided to return to Mongolia, to the village where he’d first laced up his skates on a frozen pond and dreamt of playing hockey on the world stage. Dorji packed his bags, leaving behind the bright lights of Toronto for the vast, breathtaking landscapes of the Mongolian grasslands. When Dorji arrived in his village, he was greeted by familiar faces and warm embraces. The community had always been his bedrock, their unwavering support propelling him through the ranks of professional hockey. As he walked through the village, Dorji noticed the lack of facilities for the children who shared his passion for the game. The frozen lake that had been his first real rink had seen a very visible increase in use for fishing and ice harvesting, leaving the younger generations without a proper place to practice. Determined to give back to the village that had given him so much, the Mongolian Stallion decided to build an ice hockey arena. He rallied some family members who were builders and the villagers, sharing his vision of a place where children could learn, play and grow their love for the game. Since Dorji began his journey, the youth of the village have been more and more involved with hockey. With the villagers enthusiastic support, they began the monumental task of constructing the arena. Dorji's dedication to the sport and to his hometown was very apparent. He worked tirelessly, hauling materials by hand, laying foundations and supervising every aspect of the construction. Dorji would also add a training facility to the building where he promised to be free to use for those in need. He bought a bunch of hockey equipment that he could lend to kids who wanted to try the sport. Word of Dorji's endeavor spread beyond the village, capturing the attention of the national media and attracting donations from hockey enthusiasts and organizations worldwide. The Toronto Legion, touched by Dorji's efforts, contributed funds and sent volunteers to assist with the build. Even Harry Callahan, though retired, and GM Doug made appearances to lend their support for Dorji and hockey in general. Months of hard work, blood, sweat and tears finally paid off when the arena made it’s grand opening. The entire village gathered to celebrate, their faces alight with joy and pride. The local kids couldn’t wait to put on their skates and took to the ice for the first time. Dorji watched from the sidelines. His heart feeling pride. The arena was more than just a building for him, it was his way of giving back, cementing his legacy and being the face of hockey for all of Mongolia. In recognition of Dorji's generous gift to the village, they decided to name the arena "Dorji Center." A plaque was unveiled at the entrance, bearing an inscription that honored Dorji's dedication and the impact he had made on the village. As he stood before the plaque, Dorji remained as humble as always. He started a speech by telling stories of his path from a young kid playing on a tiny pond, to playing the first rink on the lake, all the way to the VHL. He finished his speech by saying “ Even if I give you the tools to succeed, you guys are the ones who need to put in the work and be dedicated. Success is not a straight line, so there will always be ups and downs. But..if you keep showing up, giving your all and keep working hard, it won’t go unnoticed and good things will come to you.” The off season had given Dorji more than just a break from the game. It had renewed his sense of purpose and connection to his roots. He spent this last days in Mongolia training in his facilities, pushing himself harder and harder to come back to Toronto in even better shape for the S98 season. As he prepared to return to Toronto for the upcoming season, he carried with him the memories of the village, the excitement of the youth and the knowledge that he had made a lasting difference. 781 words PT week March 3 to 9
  14. 1. I think we are in a good position. We have a well rounded team. 2. 4. I always use 4 or 7 or 47. Just my favorite numbers 3. The replacements 4. I don't agree with it or at least the way it's being set. Should be a gradual decrease not just 1 season's notice kind of thing. 5. 6. Spaghetti + meaty spaghetti sauce
