Grog Strongjaw

Makes total sense tbh Keep grinding

Grog Strongjaw’s first season so far has been a struggle. Through 14 games played, the 6 foot 8 Giant has only managed to get 1 goal totalling to 1 single point. Also I am sitting at a -8 in the plus and minus category which is defiantly concerning. The plus side though is I have had only 4 penalty minutes with 14 hits. I also have shot the puck 18 times. I have in total currently 113 TPE and when Grog was drafted he only had like 66 TPE or something along the lines of that number. Grog has shown aggressive offensive abilities somewhat. It has been a struggle so far for my player Grog Strongjaw to make some type of impact on the ice. Miami’s team performance has been challenging so far but with some tweaks Ricer has made, I think things will follow through respectively properly. Grog needs to find a way to contribute more offensively while tightening up defensively. There is still some time though to turn things around.

Miami Marauder Presser for Week Oct 27. 1. We’re off to a 3-3 start and played well against some top teams. Are you happy with the start or do you think we still need time to settle as a team? 3-3 Is not that bad, could be worse but could be better. I do think maybe some tweaks could help. 2. Don Jagr @koty_kis #3 in blocked shots overall with 18. Are blocked shots an underrated stat when it comes to VHL? absolutely 3. In your opinion which VHLM franchise has the best uniforms and logo? Miami of course 4. Right now, after 6 games we only have 16 goals scored. Do you think it’s just pre-season nerves or do we need to change things up? Some tweaks could help but I also think it takes time for people to get the necessary TPE to improve. Patience in time. 5. Is the VHL your only SIM League? If not, what other leagues do you participate in? What is your favorite? no I am in SHL as well. I like both the same. But I do like in SHL player portal you can see what tpe tasks you can do, makes new players job so much easier. 6. Would you rather win the scoring race or a Founder’s Cup? Founders cup

Grog Strongjaw is hosting DND night once a week. A Grog DND Experience. Looking for more members, specifically brand new players, to a dnd experience, im DMing it, never done this before, but , got 2 members of miami already signed up, and looking for more warriors and spellcasters to join us in dnd once a week. the day can be decided between us and the amount of hours per session. plz dm me if interested. iamme12233. on discord. Please, new players are encouraged, also VERY LGBT+ friendly. Here is the map I made today (I know I named a town the same as a city but theres lore there)

1. Round 1, game 7 is ahead of us. How confident are/were (if you're answering this later) that we can get past the Steel? it seems like both teams are evenly matched. I am not conident nor not confident. Its in the hands of the AI Gods. 2. What could be the biggest X-Factor in the game 7 and possibly in the finals? Whether it's a player, a line, a special unit, a trait...anything and everything. defense 3. The Warriors-Royals series is heading to game 7 as well. Which one of these would you prefer to face in the finals? it doesn't matter, truthfully to me, I am just glad to be in the playoffs haha 4. In your opinion, who has been our playoff MVP so far? I am too new to say 5. How about your player's playoff performance, are you happy with it? Did they meet your expectations? he could def be better lol and yes, becuse I knew he wouldnt do much being a new player 6. What team are you going to play for next season? Miami

Marauders Presser week ending October 13th 2024 1. What is your players work out routine during the offseason? Eat, Poop, Missing Pike, and lifting everything I see. 2. During the offseason, does your player stick to their normal meal plans or do they have more cheat days? What is their fave cheat meal? Grog eats everything he can and he drinks A LOT of ale as much as he can. 3. The team is planning an offseason team trip. What would be your ideal destination? Grog doesn't know this realm. He would chose white stone. 4. The team is hosting a fan event before the start of next season. Are you more of an autograph person or a photo person? Grog can't write very well but with ale, he can be a great picture giant. 5. What is one thing you like about the Victory Hockey League? How welcoming you and others were to me. 6. What is one improvement you would suggest for the league? Honestly, from my heart and not grog, no idea. I am too new to notice this yet.

I want to thank everyone in the VHL for making my new experience into the realm of sim leagues very fun. Also, experiencing the draft was great as well. I loved the fact I went in the 3rd round, To Miami. I enjoyed a lot of the draft show with the commentary. I really had no idea where I would go as my TPE was low, due to joining a week ago. But I was hoping a few teams would know I am a gem, and will be MUCH better than a 3rd rounder. Which tbh, this is perfect, draft high earners early and then get grog who will earn later on and your team will be much better. I want to thank ricer especially, for making me feel welcomed immediately and recruiting me for Yukon Rush in the Junior league and even drafting me to Miami! This really isn't an article, just a heart to heart from Grog.

Grog, in a new area, sees a stick on the ground near his feet and picks it up and looks at the people playing hockey on the ice. “They all are using this stick” he thinks, “My weapon didn’t transfer over to this realm, I will need something to defend myself just in case this goes wrong.” A skater notices this massive giant and stops what he is doing and skates up to where grog is standing. “Hey, are you lost?” “I think I am, I was with pike and boom, Now I am cold.” “Well, My names Ricer, I help manage hockey teams and have an extremely good reputation in winning in the VHL, and looking at you, your size, I could use your talent.” “Nice to meet you rice man, My name is Grog. Do you make rice too? I am kinda hungry.” “Not exactly, but step on the ice big guy, let’s see what kind of skills you have.” Grog shrugs and steps on the ice and immediately due to his strength, weight, and muscles, he breaks the ice and sinks in. “Oh this not good.” Grog says. “I think I know the issue, Your strength and boots, are very heavy, here, try this on.” Ricer replies. Ricer hands Grog a massive pair of ice skates. “You want me to kill the people here with these blades?” “NO!!! These go on your feet like your boots, but the blades help you glide on the ice without putting so much weight in one area.” “I miss pickey already, okay, I don’t trust you or know you but I will put these on.” Grog puts on the skates and falls, another bigger hole builds. But Grog gets up and starts to skate slowly around and it seems like, although slow, he is slowly getting the hang of it. “Look at meeeeee!!!!!! I go Weeeeeee”. Grog said gliding with the biggest smile on his giant face. Without realizing that he doesn’t know how to stop, he crashes into the boards and completely destroys it making a grog size hole of destruction. “Whoops, I think I may need some practice.” Grog Ricer helps grog up and says, “I could use you in the junior showcase if you are willing. It’s a team called the Yukon Rush. I don’t expect you to be good, because it takes a lot pf practice, but I could use your size and strength.” Grog stands up from his crash and looks sad “What’s wrong grog?” “I just, I miss my friends already.” “Don’t worry, We are your new friends and I am sure your other friends will find you soon enough!” Ricer shows grog a black disc thing and grog looks very confused. “The stick in your hand, it’s called a hockey stick. You see how we move this black thing called a puck around with it, in hockey you cant use your hands or legs. Well, mostly. This stick is how you move the puck, pass the puck to your team mates and shoot.” “II don’t think this weak stick can shoot. Percy isn’t here and it doesn’t look like it can hold bullets.” “No.. not… ugh…”. Ricer puts his head down shaking his head, “Grog, in hockey, shooting is what we call when we take the stick, and hit the puck with it to score. Watch me.” Ricer takes the puck and uses his hockey stick to dangle the puck and skates closer to the goalie. He takes a shot and its blocked. “This is called shooting. Now you try.” Grog takes his stick and slowly moves towards the goalie with the puck. He picks up speed and realizes, again, he can’t stop well. Grog tries to shoot the puck but misses and crashes right into the goalie and the hockey net and chaos ensues. We see the goalie and Grog on the ground looking hurt. “I can tell this will take some time for you to learn.” Ricer says. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Thanks to @Ricer13 for being the first person to welcome me into the league and putting me on the Rush.

1. I blame those losses on me. They only happened the minute I joined. I take full responsibility due to being new. 2. Ricer was the very first person to talk to me when I joined. I am glad he is our goalie regardless backup or not. He seems very knowledgeable, and I believe he has been here for a long time. I feel very comfortable with our full setup. 3. I think he will easily be a top 3 draft pick. 4. 7th 5. I will tell him not to worry, its a sim league, his body resets every game haha but seriously, if this was real, I would tell him to buy a hot tub. Gonna need those cold baths. 6. No words. Grog got his first assist since you wrote this question. I would advise both of them to just be patient and keep getting TPE.

Authors note: I have a lot planned for this character if you are into fantasy mixed with sports. I am writing this because my character is based on the legend of vox machina, which is a great fantasy story with dragons etc. I thought it would be different and fun to write this story, as it adds more depth to the possibilities this league can provide. Stay tuned for ep 2 to see how grog tries to understand that a hockey stick is not a weapon, but confused that blades on your feet isn't either. How will this gentle yet fierce giant perform in the VHL? stay tuned.
