Read "Project: Hail Mary" by Andy Weir (author of "The Martian" and "Artemis") recently and I really enjoyed it! Right now, I'm reading "The Starless Sea" by Erin Morgenstern and I have no idea what to make of it, honestly. Like it's so unusual I'm not even sure if I like it or not. I'm almost done with it, so I'll give final thoughts in a bit.

After an impressive round robin which saw the Yukon Rush sitting at 26-2-2 with only two regulation losses, the team took on their first two semifinal games against the Steel. Game One saw a score of Six for the Rush and Four for the Steel with a hat trick by the Rush's Bret Weier, establishing himself on the scorecard quickly and decisively. A veritable flurry of goals opened the game, with four in the first period alone, the two team trading scores back and forth. There were two goals in the second period and another four in the third, which saw the Rush taking the victory. Game Two however was a very tense affair. The Rush and Steel couldn't break a deadlock and the game's lone goal came from a Power Play for the Rush at five minutes into the third, which was scored by Narnia Shaw and that would be the deciding goal. Bartholomew Lorequavius and Zaps Cat were exquisite in net, but the stalemate was finally broken, and it was Lorequavius that walked away with a shutout for his team. With such a varied experience between the two games, this best of seven series would be worth tuning in for. (word count: 202)

I was honestly shocked to have my boy Slava as the subject of one such article and it warmed the cockles of my heart honestly.

1. I feel like a good scoring center and a goalie would be among the first picks honestly. 2. by the end of the season, lets go with a 0.911. 3. i honestly wouldn’t rule anything out. It’s a draft and anything can happen! 4. I’m not saying yes but I’m also not saying no either . . . 5. It honestly depends since some things are very regional. I eat the most often as McDonalds but as far as quality, Carl’s Jr. would be my pick. 6. Calling his grandpa and grandma every Sunday. He’s a good grandson.

“Hello?” The sound of his baba Irina’s voice on the other end of the phone call made Slava Kovalenko smile to himself as he snagged a shopping cart for himself and began to push it back toward the meat department. “Hello, baba.” he answered warmly. “Slavochka!” The name that only she called him made something in his chest warm as he paused by the beef, looking at the different cuts of meat. “Why are you calling today? It’s not our usual day.” Slava called his Dido Artem and Baba Irina every Sunday, just to check in on them and chat. They were proud of how well he was doing in the Junior Showcase Tournament and they told him so often (which embarrassed him a little bit but that was just how Slava was). “I know. But the boys and I are tired of going out to eat all the time so I thought I could maybe make them some borscht but I need to know what to get and how much.” There was silence for a moment before Slava heard his baba laughing. “An entire team of people, Slavochka?! You don’t pick small battles.” “Is it a bad idea?” Slava asked, unable to keep a note of anxiety out of his voice and his baba’s own tone shifted as well. “No, Slavochka. You’ll want to quadruple everything and make sure to buy lots of French bread loafs to cut up. Having bread to dip in the stew will help everything stretch farther as well. You can do this.” she said comfortingly and if his baba said it? Slava believed it. With the help of his baba, Slava collected seven pounds of beef stew meat, a bag of carrots, two whole cabbages and five large beets. He also stocked up on six loaves of French bread that he could cut up as his baba had suggested and also a large tub of sour cream and a small bottle of dill weed for a garnish in addition to the spices he needed to flavor the broth. As he worked in the arena kitchen, Slava couldn’t help the nerves that were building but he was reassured when River Harrington, one of his good friends, poked his head into the kitchen. “Smelling good in here! Brandon and I were wondering if you needed help with anything.” Waving a hand toward the loaves of French bread and a large metal bowl Slava had found, he snorted softly. “If the two of you could take care of getting all that bread sliced up, that would be a huge help honestly.” Brandon gave him a playful salute. “We’re on it!” That was definitely a help and with Alagsantere Groenvold and Bret Weier willing to grate beets for him and Carl Erhardt and David VanHousen chopping cabbage, Slava gave the task of peeling and grating a bunch of carrots Feka Ohi Kau and Narnia Shaw. Quentin Musty, Michael Schmichael and Xhekajs Middletoe decided they would comprise the main cleanup crew once everyone was done and that was fair in Slava’s eyes. They all laughed and joked as they worked, the stew needing three different large pots to cook but Slava was sure his baba would know how much was needed to feed hungry hockey players. “So what is this called, anyway?” Carl asked as he grabbed another large piece of cabbage to chop. “This is borscht. It’s pretty popular in most Slavic countries like Russia, Ukraine, Bosnia, places like that.” Slava explained. “My Dido Artem and Baba Irina came to Canada from Ukraine so this is something that I grew up eating and it’s one of my favorite things ever.” “Well thanks for sharing it with us! It’s much nicer than eating out. Again.” Brandon huffed and there were murmurs of agreement from everyone else on the team. “I was tired of eating out too and thankfully I was able to call Baba and she helped me figure out how much of everything I needed.” Slava shrugged. To him, it wasn’t a huge deal, He had just wanted to do something nice for his teammates and making borscht with the Rush had ended up being weirdly fun. Once everything had simmered together, everyone helped get bowls and napkins and spoons set out at a couple of large tables they had pushed together. “You don’t have to have it, but a little sour cream and a sprinkle of dill makes it, in my opinion.” Slava said as he got the first bowlful (at the boys’ insistence since he’d made it and all), adding a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of dill. He waited to take a bite, nervous as the others began to eat but with the number of thumbs up being thrown his way and the fact that everyone was eating and not talking at all (which was unusual for this group), Slava figured he could count borscht a success, especially when everyone started getting seconds. There was no way to know where any of them would end up after this tournament and the dispersal draft. But at least right here and right now, they were a team and they were going to make every day together count. (Word count: 872, originally posted in Writing forum)

+10 Slava Kovalenko

“Hello?” The sound of his baba Irina’s voice on the other end of the phone call made Slava Kovalenko smile to himself as he stepped into the grocery store and snagged a shopping cart for himself, pushing it quickly back toward the meat department. “Hello, baba.” he answered warmly. “Slavochka!” The name that only she called him made something in his chest warm as he paused by the beef, looking at the different cuts of meat. “Why are you calling today?

1. What are your thoughts on Fong/Baozi stepping down as head mod of the VHL? Will Fresco do anything or will he remain inactive? As I don't know Fresco, it's hard to say but hopefully he'll step in and get something popping. 2. How has your activity been during the offseason? Meh. We lost our cat a couple weeks back and I admittedly didn't do too much during that space of time. 3. If you could see any sports game from the past, which would you choose? As I used to live in Seattle, I would love to see the game where the Seattle Metropolitans won the Stanley Cup. 4. How about any historical event at all? As long as I didn't get sick or something, I would love to have been a fly on the wall for the signing of the Declaration of Independence. 5. Predict Ottawa's record next season, why do you think they'll achieve what you said? I think it'll be 67-5. Once the dispersal draft is over, things should be a lot more even and with there being some great players out there, I think Ottawa can really climb up the leaderboard. Hopefully I'm here for it. 6. Would you rather be a power play leader or one of the best penalty killers? Penalty killer. That way the other team hopefully gets less goals on average if we happen to take a dumb penalty.

After the latest round of games played, the Yukon Rush seem to be solidifying their position as the team to beat in the Junior Showcase Tournament. An impressive eight and one in nine games played, the Rush show no signs of slowing down and their players remain consistent in their pursuit of victory in the tournament. Brandon Petan Jr. continues to dazzle and amaze both fans of the Rush and other teams alike. The center boasts eighteen points in the nine games he has played thus far, averaging two points per game and he remains the only player to have a hat trick. He leads the tournament in both goals and assists, has the highest plus/minus stat and also has the best point percentage per 20 minutes. Truly, a powerhouse either shooting or passing to his teammates. Lest anyone be under the assumption that Petan Jr. is carrying the team on his own, Xhekajs Middletoe leads all right wingers in the tournament with ten points and his teammate David VanHousen isn't far behind with nine points of his own. Their goaltender, Bartholomew Lorequavius, boasts the tournament's lowest goals against average and also is the only net minder to register a shutout. He also leads the tournament with eight wins and will naturally be looking to expand that total, which, with how he and his teammates in front of him have been playing, should be almost certain. The self-proclaimed "two headed monster" of River Harrington and Slava Kovalenko have not been quiet during this tournament either. Both defensemen are in the top ten of defensemen for the entire tournament. Harrington is the power play goals leader with five and also leads the tournament in shooting percentage. Kovalenko had his first multi-point game during this last stretch of matches and surely both will be adding to their overall totals in the games to come. As a team, the Rush have an 88.5 percent penalty kill and on the power play, they are a tournament best 32.14. Based on this new sample size, clearly the Rush have firmly established themselves as the team that others will be trying to catch and surpass if they are able. "We're surprised but obviously we're also really excited that we've been able to get off to such a good start." said Kovalenko. "We would've liked to be nine and zero but at the end of the day we're human and there's going to be games that we'd like to have back. But in the locker room, there's a buzz in the air. We all want to keep pushing, to keep going and really stake our claim to being the tournament winners." For Kovalenko, who was a waiver wire pick up, this tournament is a much better representation of what he can do and the six foot eight defenseman intends to make the most of it, as does everyone else on the Rush. Of course, only time will tell if the Rush can go all the way but they're definitely the team to watch. (word count: 507)

With the Junior Showcase Tournament officially starting today, there are already players who are standing out and one team as a whole who seem to be bringing their A game to this tournament. The Yukon Rush won both of their games, scoring five goals to the Warriors' four and the Royals two goals weren't enough against the second set of five goals for the Rush. Despite the small sample size of games thus far, the Rush already have three players in the top five as far as total points are concerned as well as goals scored and top rookies. Brandon Petan Jr. is the team's leader in goals scored with four. David Van Housen has served up five apples and with seven points overall, he can clearly contribute on both sides of the ice. River Harrington is the top defenseman with an even two goals and two assists, and it will be interesting to see if he can solidify that position on the leaderboard as time goes on and all the teams have more games under their belts. Bartholomew Lorequavius holds the fourth best save percentage at the moment with a .898, which is respectable. Certainly, the Rush are going to be one of the teams to keep an eye on during this tournament. Many of the players on this team are Ottawa Lynx alumni and perhaps that connection and time spent playing together will give them an edge over some of the other teams. The previous defensive pairing of Kovalenko and Harrington has been split for this tournament and thus far, both seem to be adjusting well to the change. The Rush next face the Warriors, then the Brigade before a second time around with the Steel. One can only assume that the general manager and assistant are pleased with the grit and determination from their team. Though the first game was close, the Rush were able to dig in and hold on to preserve their win. The Rush also have an excellent penalty kill unit, only allowing one goal. Naturally, statistics will change the more games the Rush have in hand but with this hot of a start to the tournament, there's a lot to be excited about when it comes to the Rush and what they can bring to the table. For scouts, Harrington and Petan Jr. have to be on their radars. Their consistency from the Lynx matches to their start in the Junior Showcase Tournament are proving them to be anything but a flash in the pan and with everyone else on the team chipping in where they can, one would expect the Rush to go a long way toward winning the showcase outright. Of course, games aren't just won by two players and with almost all of their lines having at least one point in these two matches, everyone on the Rush is pulling their weight and doing what they can to keep their team on top. For the Yukon Rush fans, this has to be a good time to be a supporter of the team. (word count: 512)

Happy birthday VHL!

That is DOPE. Thank you so much!!!

With the Ottawa Lynx season over now, VHLM correspondent Steven Glynn took a chance to sit down with one of their free agency signings, Stanislav "Slava" Kovalenko to get his impressions on the team, the VHLM and what he sees for himself going forward. SG: Slava, thank you so much for taking the time to sit down with me today, we appreciate it. Firstly, hard luck for the Lynx there at the end but you guys battled and kept pushing. What was the locker room like? SK: A pleasure as always, Steve. I think we were trying to focus on what we could control, and doing our best to capitalize on what chances we could but sometimes, things just aren't meant to come to fruition. It's frustrating, sure, but there's not much more we could have done. I think it's easier to accept something when you know that you gave it everything you possibly could. As far as the locker room goes, we're a pretty tight knit bunch and I never had any doubts that the others would have my back, regardless of what came up. Our manager, Grape, has also been a gem and I really hope this isn't the last time that I get to be on a team with them but we'll see how things shake up. SG: As a free agent signing, you didn't have as much time as others but you still managed to average almost a point each game. Did you feel pressure to perform in such a short window of opportunity? SK: I always put pressure on myself because I want to constantly be evolving and growing my game as best as I can. So when I don't perform well or if I feel like there were chances that I missed, it does bother me. But I feel like, even with as little time as I had, I proved that I could put together a solid foundation for myself and I'm looking forward to next season, to being able to show a little more of what I can bring to the table. I don't regret signing when I did, though. Ottawa's been a good team to me and I'm always going to remember these games with them fondly. They were the ones who took a chance on me when I thought I might not make it to the VHLM or VHL at all so I won't forget that. SG: What do you think the future holds for you? SK: Hopefully, another stint with the Lynx. I feel like we've all got some unfinished business there and if it was possible to hold onto the core that we had and add to it, I think we could get pretty far and I think some of the others feel the same way as well. I'd love to be able to run it back with everyone, prove that we've got what it takes to be the best. But of course with the dispersal draft coming up, that just may not be possible. Still, a guy can dream, eh? SG: From where I'm sitting, I think you'll be able to handle whatever comes your way. Thanks again for speaking with me Slava and best of luck! SK: You're welcome, Steve. Hope to speak again soon. (word count: 548)

@kirbithan

1. Hard to say, I'd like to be optimistic and see us finish with 150. 2. I believe we can make it, and I think we can get to the second round. But as with anything, it's all what happens on that particular day. 3. The one word answer? River. But really, I felt like I could come to Ottawa, play with my friend and also gain some valuable experience. I've had a chance to get some real playing time here and I feel like I'm growing my game because of that. 4. Never say never, eh? We'll just have to wait and see what goes down between now and then. 5. I don't feel like you've been slacking at all! Give yourself a little more credit. 6. We can definitely do it and we're going to give it our all to make sure that it happens.

On a warm and beautiful May 12th, Greg and Anya Kovalenko welcomed their third child, another son. Little did they suspect that the boy they held in their arms would grow up to become another hopeful for the VHL. But as that boy grew, so did his love of hockey. Stanislav Gregorovitch Kovalenko, quickly dubbed Slava by his family was a quiet child, often times preferring to read a book or do a puzzle rather than roughhouse like his older brother Sergei. Even though Slava loved his brother, older sister Irina and younger sister Katya, he was different from them almost from day one. His family accepted Slava, however, and they were proud of how smart he was and how kind-hearted he was with everyone around him. Always getting good grades in school, Slava had considered becoming a pilot or else an accountant. He had always been good at math in school, but life had other plans for him. His grandparents were diehard VHL fans and from the time he was a tiny tot, Slava would watch hockey with his dido (grandfather) and baba (grandmother). He was entranced, watching the skaters flashing up and down the ice and he badly wanted to play himself. So, his Dido Artem got little Slava his first pair of skates. There was no shortage of places to go skate in St. Albert and it quickly became clear to everyone in the Kovalenko family that not only was this something that got quiet little Slava excited, but he was also just plain good at it. He had a natural feel for the ice and while he and his brother Sergei were also talented motocross bike riders, hockey was Slava's true passion, the thing that really got him going. Pooling their resources together, the family were able to get Slava real hockey equipment and he committed himself to becoming the best player that he could. As a youth player, Slava played for the St. Albert Flyers. While playing youth hockey, Slava experienced a 6-inch growth spurt which left him towering over many people. Having to get used to his new body and what he could do with it, Slava continued to work hard, wanting to make sure that his family hadn't sacrificed time and money on him for nothing. He wasn't just playing for himself. He had a dream: to get the VHL so that his dido and baba could watch their grandson take to the same ice that so many other legends had. But so many seemed to pass Slava by. Opportunities to play beyond youth hockey fell through and just when Slava was losing hope and thinking that he might end up just becoming a pilot like he had supposed or else going into finance, a coach from the University of Alaska happened to catch his last game playing for the Fort McMurray Oil Barons and recruited Slava for the men's team there, the Nanooks. Committing to Alaska, Slava was pleased to find that with his grades, he was afforded a scholarship which made attending college less of a financial burden on the family and he would even get to play hockey too. Still hitting the books hard even while he chased his on ice dreams, Slava was given the captaincy of the Nanooks during his junior year at the University of Alaska and while scouts had come to see him, there were no offers or any hints as to his future would be once he was finished with school and Slava knew that time was running out for him where hockey was concerned. He had seen other people be signed, his friend River Harrington among them and it was hard for Slava to watch, even as glad as he was that other people were getting a good look for the VHL. Then came the day that changed everything. An offer was extended to him from the Ottawa Lynx in the VHLM and Slava knew that this was the only chance he was going to get, and he would need to take it with both hands. Accepting with a grateful heart, Slava signed his contract, leaving behind not only his family in St. Albert but also all of his friends that he had made at the University of Alaska. Still, he was going to get a chance and not only that, but he would also be reunited with River, and he hoped to be able to prove that not only could he be a decent player, one day he could be a great one. With his contract signed, Slava made arrangements with U of A to finish his degree online during his season with the Lynx. He didn't want to leave that undone, not after he was so close to finishing, and he knew that his parents and grandparents would want him to finish as well. Having arranged everything to his satisfaction as much as he was able, Slava Kovalenko left Fairbanks in a whirlwind as a former college student and was on his way to join up with Lynx as an official hockey defenseman in the VHLM. Whatever happened from here was up to him but at least he was finally getting a chance to prove himself.

1. It feels more like an actual presser, which is kinda cool. I've wondered how I would answer questions sometimes and this is a way to find out! 2. Slava actually started out as a Dungeons and Dragons character in my head. I wanted to specifically do something based around Ukraine since the face claim I was using for him was Colton Parayko, who's of Canadian-Ukrainian descent so I looked at Ukrainian names, really liked Stanislav and the corresponding nickname, Slava, and as I was going more D&D, he was just Stanislav Gregorovitch, or Stanislav, son of Gregor. Then when I decided to do a hockey oc based on that idea, I looked at Ukrainian last names and picked Kovalenko because I liked how it sounded and that's how Slava became Slava. 3. My username is based on an achievement from the game Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim which is my FAVORITE game of all time. There's 17 artifacts you have to collect for each of the Daedric princes and it took me a long time to get that achievement but I finally did it in December of last year so when I needed a username for here? I decided to go with Oblivion Walker. 4. I choose Canada because that's where Slava's player render, Colton Parayko, is from and it made things easy. 5. Again since I was basing Slava pretty heavily on Colton, I did try to keep his porportions about the same, especially height and weight. 6. I have some other hockey ocs I've written with friends and I think my Russian, Arkady Tamarkin will be next.

Thanks! Kirby got me into Skyrim a few years ago and there was no looking back, lol.

Thank you so much!!! Much appreciated!

No, he wasn’t. I joined after that game was simed.

The Ottawa Lynx have shored up their defense with their recent signing of St. Albert, Alberta native Stanislav Kovalenko. Kovalenko, a 6 foot 6 right-handed defenseman who attended the University of Alaska Fairbanks is more than ready to make a name for himself in the VHL and hit the ground running. "I can't wait to get started." the player said during a phone interview conducted with him mere hours ago. "I was hoping to join the Lynx so I would be able to play with my old Juniors buddy, River Harrington. I'd like to think that we know each other's strengths and weaknesses and we'll be able to be a solid d pair for our team." Certainly, having a d core who have already played together won't hurt the Lynx's chances of moving up the leaderboard. Of course, only time will tell and Kovalenko was pragmatic about it when asked. "I'm going to have to prove myself worthy of my contract, but I've always been a hard worker and I take whatever feedback I'm given and apply it and keep moving forward. Success isn't given for free and it doesn't come overnight. We're going to have to work together, as a team but I firmly believe the team has what it takes to succeed and I've always been someone who's liked to prove people wrong." When asked what playing with his old Juniors teammate means to him, it was clear that Kovalenko was a tad emotional and needed a moment before he was able to answer. "We had always talked about making it to the league from the time we were kids and when River got signed, of course I was happy for him. Definitely I was wondering if I was going to get my shot and knowing that I'll get to be right beside him for the start of both of our careers is something I could never have expected. I don't want to take a single moment of it for granted. Not everybody is that lucky, you know?" Indeed, there are many who aren't able to make it to the league at all which makes this reunion all the sweeter for Kovalenko. Even though he will be playing his rookie season with the Lynx, Stanislav (who also goes by Slava) isn't neglecting his education. The defenseman surprised us when mentioning that he would be continuing his bachelor's degree online while he plays. "The league isn't forever." Kovalenko laughed when asked why he would be committing to something like that during his first season in the VHL. "Accidents and injuries happen and I just want to be prepared for whatever comes my way. It's also important to my family and they're the last people in the world that I would want to disappoint." Kovalenko is majoring in business, which in his opinion would enable him to also be able to handle his money well and there really isn't any arguing with that. When asked if he had any final message for Lynx fans out there, all Kovalenko had to say was this. "The two headed monster of Kovalenko and Harrington are back in business. Everybody watch out."

Oh you did.
