  1. A look into the VHLM Awards

     

    nhlawards640.jpg


    The Yukon Rush were once again Founder's Cup champions and also held onto the best regular season record. A team built well from top to bottom and they dominated the entire league. They have a great organization and system with a strong supporting cast of characters. If you really want to win a Founder's Cup then you should build a team like the Yukon Rush did this previous season.

     


    MVP - Sakic Trophy: Dexter Morgan (TUR)
    Morgan (TUR) - 5
     Vlasis (TUR) - 2,
    Waldron (YUK) - 2
     Tremblay (MOS) - 1


    Dexter Morgan dominated the east with the Turkou Outlaws and put up outstanding totals. Scoring over a hundred goals is an impressive feat! He stood out from his peers and won with a majority of the voting. Was he really the best? In truth I would have also voted for his teammate Dimothenis Vlasis who, as a defenseman, put up a 173 points. A goaltender also made his ballot and that was good to see that the Yukon's Brock Waldron put up a lively performance. Steve Tremblay is also a good selection to the ballot from the Moscow Red Wolves, with ninety seven goals. Will be quite exciting to see some of these players now graduating into the VHL.

    Top Defenseman - Bourque Trophy: Don Draper (YUK)
    Draper (YUK) - 5
     Vlasis (TUR) - 3
    Yamazaki (TUR) - 2


    This season's top defenseman was none other than our own Don Draper. This was quite the interesting vote since it looks like the Outlaws' vote were split between their top pairing. Did Draper really deserve this award? Vlasis put up nearly forty point more than Don but didn't have the physical aspects of Yamazaki and Draper. He still did block more shots than either of them. A defenseman on the ballot for the league's MVP isn't even the league's best defenseman it seems. To Draper's credit, he led his entire team in points and led the way for the Yukon Rush offense while playing rock solid defense.  He has all the tools to become a successful defenseman in the VHL.

    Top Goalie - Sawchuk Trophy: Brock Waldron (YUK)
    Waldron (YUK) - 9
    Canseco (MOS) - 1


    Someone actually have a vote to Canseco? This was a real head scratcher but the other teams seem to have hit this right on the head. There should be no doubt that Waldron was the best goaltender in the league and led in nearly all major statistical category at his position. You could say that he was a product of his team but that was not the case as you can see that his save percentage was also above and beyond of those of his peers. A stellar performance from a stellar goaltender. Whoever voted for Canseco needs to get checked, looking at you Moscow GM.

    Top Two-Way Forward - Yzerman Trophy: Azi Ali (BER)
    Ali (BER) - 9
    Riggs (YUK) - 1

    Another questionable vote on the ballot. Azi Ali played a tremendous 200 foot game and was an absolute force for the Bern Royals. Relied on to score, defend and lead. If you ever needed someone to block a shot or lay out some bodies then Ali would be the one guy you can count on. To the credit of Riggs, he was arguably the Yukon's best defensive forward and was a mainstay on their penalty kill.

     


    These were the four major awards presented at the VHLM Awards with a few suspect votes. Successful showing for Brock Waldron who came away with three award nominations and proved to be a keeper. A lot of these players will be moving onto the VHL after their amazing seasons so it will be intriguing to see who our next leaders will be.
     

  2. they are not joke when they say goalie is toughest position in league. am play against real VHL competition in super cup for 5 game and got destroyed except for in one game and i still managed to have lose it. am not sure if position change have are be worth it but in a few season we will have see if it right choice for me in career. my next appearance will be in all prospect game and we all know how that will end for me so hoping i no let in more than ten goals.i have draft by saskatoon at 6th overall and am not too overly surprised since i already have knew i was not leaving 7th spot of in draft. We now have stud defence corp and active forward to compliment scoring so am look forward to good year because I have good team. am no sure if i will be next remy lebeau and stretch out career as long as i can on in one team or like steven smyl who have retire after being have frustrated by results. I am probably Mack Hudson, Evgeny Chekhov type prospect right now but I have no idea where future will take me. Will i keep as goalie or retire early because too tough? i not know but it will be fun ride

     

    also must say arcehole will win supercup.

  3. this are have big much difference compare to have previous bank and look less attractive than in have tpe package. this have mean players will now have take less money from teams so they can now be more competitive? before player have will ask to get as much money as he can has from team to get tpe package and have improve player but now more player will be have find less enticing to get bigger contract. maybe i have read into too much.

  4. we have 4 defenceman over in have 60 tpe or more. I hope Kurtis Hunter pick some up slack of forward corps. Our real problem is now in own conference of Ottawa. Our defence and goaltending better but their firepower is much much better than what we are have. i am think we let first part of season play out and see where we are have match up against them.
