We've honored the players, now let's take a moment to recognize the men up in the suites… that's right, it's time to recognize the top general manager in the VHL this season with the David Knight Trophy! We've got a crowded field this year, so there's no time to waste!

 

Victor Alfredsson @Victor, who guided the Moscow Menace to the Victory Cup!

 

Blake Campbell @Banackock, who once again had his Seattle Bears right in the thick of the competition!

 

Geoffrey Dee @JeffD, who in four short seasons took the Chicago Phoenix from an expansion team to becoming VHL Continental Cup champions!

 

Jason Glasser @diamond_ace , who led the Prague Phantoms on a resurgent season and into European Conference contention!

 

Eno Rama @Enorama, whose DC Dragons replaced key losses to yet again contend for supremacy in the North American Conference!

 

Damien Walec @.sniffuM, who flipped the Warsaw Predators from expansion doormat to a major force in the European Conference!

Jason Glasser!!

 

Now a four-time David Knight Trophy winner,  this is Jason Glasser's first with the Prague Phantoms, and his first since Season 34. After several seasons of disappointments and near-misses, Prague burst onto the scene in Season 76, establishing themselves as a contender in the European Conference. Led by the veteran Thomas Landry II @Doomsday and bolstered by a deep crop of rookie prospects, Jason Glasser made the difficult decision to part with franchise blue liner Cinnamon Block @omgitshim before the season, but was rewarded with the emergence of John LeClair II @flyersfan1406 and Dan Baillie Jr @wcats, along with strong rookie seasons from Dominic Gobeil @Domg5, Battre Sandstrom @Acydburn , and Robert Bouchard @Gaikoku-hito as the Phantoms clicked into a force. Using the gains of the Cinnamon Block trade, Glasser brought in Jungkok @tfong and Grekkark Gyrfalcon @Sharkstrong, boldly putting his chips in to go for the Continental Cup. Winning their first playoff series in team history against the Riga Reign in the Wild Card round, the Phantoms came tantalizingly close to advancing to the European Conference Finals before falling in overtime of Game Seven against the Moscow Menace. Jason Glasser has put the Prague Phantoms into position to contend for the Cup again with his new core, deservedly bringing home the David Knight Trophy. 

 

Congratulations to Jason Glasser, the VHL's top general manager of Season 76 as the David Knight Trophy winner!

 

Voting:

Jason Glasser: 4, Geoffrey Dee: 3, Victor Alfredsson: 2

The regular season is filled with plenty of heroic exploits, but it takes a true legend to excel in the playoffs. Tonight, we recognize the MVP of the S76 Playoffs with the Daisuke Kanou Trophy. Jean Pierre Camus @solas was an absolute monster for the Chicago Phoenix, who became Continental Cup champions on the wings of the elite performances of their goaltender. Ajay Krishna @Hooperorama fought like a lion for the Warsaw Predators, but even in a losing effort, he displayed the heart of a champion. Mikko Lahtinen @Beketov didn't reach the Cup Finals with Moscow, but he still led all players in the postseason with 27 points regardless. Dakota Lamb @dlamb was the driving force for Warsaw's offense during their spirited run, tallying 21 points for the Predators. 

 

Tonight, one of these players will transcend greatness, and take their place in VHL lore as a legend of the game, a player who played the biggest when it mattered the most. 

 

The winner of the Daisuke Kanou Trophy, and Season 76 Playoff MVP, is...

Jean Pierre Camus!

 

An absolute slam dunk win for Camus, as he took all votes outside of a write-in for Kyl Oferson @Nykonax , who wasn't even on the ballot. Simply put, he was an absolute monster in net for the Continental Cup champion Chicago Phoenix, only losing three games the entire post-season. Boasting a .931 save percentage and a 2.54 GAA, Jean Pierre Camus absolutely slammed the door on the opposition during Chicago's playoff run, including what could be a career-defining game for Camus, shutting out Warsaw in Game Five to clinch the Continental Cup for the Phoenix. The sky is the limit for this fantastic netminder. 

 

Congratulations to Jean Pierre Camus, the Daisuke Kanou Trophy winner and most valuable player of the Season 76 Playoffs!

 

Votes:

Jean Pierre Camus: 8, Kyl Oferson: 1

The VSN would like to take a moment to remind our viewing audience that this is not an officially sanctioned VHL award.

We've reached the award that's decided by you, the VHL community! That's right, it's time to present the Brett Slobodzian Trophy, recognizing the most outstanding player in the VHL, as decided by the VHL community. In the running this season is Roque Davis @Josh, Mikko Lahtinen @Beketov, Andrew Su @Da_Berr, and Jacob Tonn @MexicanCow123! If you're a Moscow Menace fan, you loved this ballot. If you aren't, then your options were kinda limited this year. With many deserving players, it's time to see who the community felt was the best of the best. 

 

The votes are in! Your winner, receiving 44.38 percent of the votes with 75, is...

 

Spoiler

 

 

Mikko Lahtinen!!

 

Co-leading the league with 121 points, a league-best 61 goals, and 329 hits are a pretty tall order to stand up against, as the lack of a physical component to Andrew Su's game certainly hurt him at the polls, with his status as the only Moscow player on the ballot proved to not be enough to boost him up. The complete element of Mikko Lahtinen's play certainly led to the decisive win, as there was no need to stop the count here. The VHL community has spoken loudly and clearly here, and Mikko Lahtinen adds to his jam-packed trophy case with a Brett Slobodzian Trophy as the people's champ of the VHL!

 

Congratulations to Mikko Lahtinen, the VHL community's choice as the most outstanding player of Season 76, and your Brett Slobodzian Trophy winner!!

Mikko Lahtinen: 75, Andrew Su: 49, Jacob Tonn: 32, Roque Davis: 13

It's time, ladies and gentlemen, for the award you've all been waiting for: the Scotty Campbell Trophy, awarded to the most valuable player in the VHL! Four players stood out to the Awards Committee as worthy candidates this season! Mikko Lahtinen @Beketov, who made a strong case for a third-straight Scotty Campbell Trophy by tying for the league lead in points and leading Moscow to a Victory Cup. Thomas Landry II @Doomsday was the beating heart of the rise of the Prague Phantoms, by far the leading scorer of the team with 105 points and a pivotal force for their return to the playoffs. Andrew Su @Da_Berr not only led the Vancouver Wolves in points by a large margin, he tied for the league lead, and seemingly always delivered for his team. Ola Vikingstad @Dil was a monster for the Helsinki Titans in spite of his involvement in the creation of a pillow fighting league, scoring 110 points to power his squad to another playoff appearance. 

 

The wait is over, let's crown our MVP! The winner of the Scotty Campbell Trophy is...

 

Spoiler

 

ANDREW SU!!

 

Tied for the league lead in points with Mikko Lahtinen with 121, the biggest difference for Su was his supporting cast. While Lahtinen had two other 100+ point scorers on the team, Su had none. Second place on the Vancouver Wolves was Venus Thightrap @BladeMaiden, with 86 points, or 35 less than Su. He was the pivotal force for the Vancouver Wolves, willing them to the postseason, and matching the production of Lahtinen without the same support the former had. His importance to his team did not go unnoticed, and it has culminated in a night that Su will never forget: the night he rose to the top of the VHL as the Scotty Campbell Trophy winner, the most valuable player of Season 76.

 

Congratulations to Andrew Su on winning the highest individual award in the VHL, the Scotty Campbell Trophy!

 

Behold, VHL: your most valuable player!!

Red Lite - Dominic Gobeil - Cabe McJake

Linus Zetterstrom - Chicken Wing

Rara Rasputin

 

The entire ballot for the Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy, with the addition of Cabe McJake @RedSus, who had a very impressive rookie season with the Riga Reign, make the list as the top rookies of the VHL in Season 76! Rookie point leader Red Lite @Tate immediately became a force, and New York enjoyed a strong rookie campaign from defenseman Chicken Wing @chikn to give the Americans another strong showing on the VHL All-Rookie Team yet again. Dominic Gobeil @Domg5 stepped up to become one of the Prague Phantoms' best forwards as a rookie, and has a bright future ahead of him. Linus Zetterstrom @Ledge_and_Dairy had a phenomenal rookie season with the Riga Reign, giving them two members on the team as well. Lastly, Rara Rasputin @Victor was tremendous in net for the Seattle Bears, and with a phenomenal performance in the playoffs, Seattle fans are thinking they've got their next franchise netminder. 

 

Congratulations to the VHL All-Rookie Team!!

ALL ROOKIE TEAM!!!

Kyl Oferson - Kris Rice - Thomas Landry II 

Cinnamon Block - Matty Socks

Zamboni Driver

 

The Chicago Phoenix were powered by the 47 goals of Kyl Oferson @Nykonax , who finished with 97 points. Kris Rice @Ricer13, an unsung hero on the Moscow Menace, finished with 105 points in his final season, as did Scotty Campbell Trophy finalist Thomas Landry II @Doomsday of the Prague Phantoms. Cinnamon Block @omgitshim finished just shy of 100 points in her final season, and Matty Socks @fishy continues to add to his brilliant career thus far with an All-VHL Second Team selection. Zamboni Driver @Tape-to-Tape had another big season in net for the Helsinki Titans, and rounds out the All-VHL Second Team!!

[Doomsday 4,143]

 

Andrew Su - Mikko Lahtinen - Ola Vikingstad

Roque Davis - Latrell Mitchell

Jacob Tonn

 

To the surprise of absolutely no one, the All-VHL First Team features the co-leaders of the VHL in points, Andrew Su @Da_Berr and Mikko Lahtinen @Beketov. With 121 points, the top two forwards of Season 76 are joined by Ola Vikingstad @Dil, who racked up 50 goals and 110 points with the Helsinki Titans. Roque Davis @Josh, the Sterling Labatte Trophy winner, amongst others, joins Latrell Mitchell @dasboot, the Jake Wylde Trophy winner, on the blue line as the face of the new elite defensemen in the VHL. In net is none other than Jacob Tonn @MexicanCow123, which is no surprise considering his domination in the crease. 

 

The best of the best… the All-VHL First Team!!
