We move on now to the Mike Szatkowski Trophy, awarded annually to the player(s) who led the VHL in points. Season 76 saw seven players break 100 points, yet this was primarily down to a three-horse race between Mikko Lahtinen @Beketov, Andrew Su @Da_Berr, and Ola Vikingstad @Dil, the latter of whom ultimately fell behind in the end and had to settle for third with 110 points. Lahtinen and Su continued to duke it out, and as fate would have it, they finished in a tie with 121 points! It's just the second time in VHL history that there has been a tie atop the points leaderboard since Season 71, when Hunter Hearst Helmsley @Beaviss and Ambrose Stark @Banackock tied with 88, making this the first time two players tied for the points lead with over 100 points.

The Greg Clegane Trophy, awarded to the netminder with the lowest goals allowed average in the league, is our first award dedicated to the fearless netminders of the VHL tonight. If we want to get technical, just one goaltender, Michael Olson @MSO94 of the Moscow Menace, posted a sub-2.00 GAA, albeit in nine games. His teammate, Jacob Tonn @MexicanCow123, on the other hand, posted an impressive 2.46 GAA in 64 games, earning him his first Greg Clegane Trophy. After three seasons with the Seattle Bears, Tonn really broke out to establish himself as one of the VHL's premiere goaltenders in Season 76. Valiant efforts, however, were put forward by Grekkark Gyrfalcon @Sharkstrong, who recorded a 2.57 GAA with the Prague Phantoms after being acquired in a mid-season trade, and the fabled Zamboni Driver @Tape-to-Tape of the Helsinki Titans, who recorded a 2.63 GAA.

Congratulations to Jacob Tonn, the Greg Clegane Trophy winner!

I guess it was probably clear from the Slobo ballot but I never quite realized how great Moscow's individual performances were this season.  Probably not the last awards they'll be winning tonight, too

The VHL has been treated to quite a ride with Thad, a relative newcomer to the VHL community in the scope of the league's history. However, his impact has been profound and immediate. He's a friendly presence wherever you find him, and instills good vibes every single time he pops up. Thad's priceless videos released leading to and during his run as the GM of Team USA in the WJC have brought us all countless laughs, and he now leads the San Diego Marlins of the VHLM and Team USA in the upcoming World Cup of Hockey. However, it's his efforts with opening up dialogues with our community to help improve our mental health that had the most profound impact, making him an incredibly deserving recipient of the Frederik Elmebeck Trophy!

 

Thank you, thadthrasher, and congratulations!!
