Questions:

I'd been in football leagues for about 5 years and a lot of them would die in their first, so decided to give a hockey league that I'd heard been around for 6 years a go.

Continuing to fail to meet expectations and get a point per game despite having a super high TPA.

3. Are you modeling your player after anyone?

I'm modelling it after the board game Clue, which is called Cluedo in the United Kingdom

4. How are you feeling after making an account and a player?

I felt so good about making one account that I went and made another.

5. What is your favorite NHL team?

I don't follow them super close, but I support the Predators.

First hockey sim league, but I'd probably been in like ten football leagues prior to this one.

No Press Conference options from my team so going to do this one:

 

What brought me to the VHL?
I've always had a deep passion for hockey, and the VHL offered me the opportunity to take my love for the game to the next level. The competitiveness, the camaraderie, and the chance to showcase my skills on a virtual platform really intrigued me. I wanted to challenge myself and see how far I could go in this simulated hockey world.

 

What are you most excited about?
I'm most excited about the prospect of competing against talented players from all around the VHL. The Junior Showcase Tournament is a fantastic opportunity to showcase my abilities and measure myself against some of the best prospects in the league. I thrive on competition and look forward to pushing myself to new heights.

 

Are you modeling your player after anyone?
While I appreciate the styles of many NHL players, I wouldn't say that I'm modeling my player after anyone specific. I believe in developing my own unique style of play that combines elements of speed, skill, and a strong work ethic. I want to create my own path and leave a lasting impact based on my abilities and contributions to the game. If I had to pick one, I would say Eric Lindros. 

 

How are you feeling after making an account and a player?
I'm feeling extremely excited and motivated after creating my account and player. It's a fresh start, a new chapter in my hockey journey. I have the chance to build a legacy in the VHL, and I'm determined to make the most of it. I'm focused on honing my skills, connecting with my teammates, and working towards success in the league.

 

What is your favorite NHL team?
Growing up, I've always been a fan of the Detroit Red Wings. Their storied history, championship pedigree, and commitment to excellence have always resonated with me. I admire the team's dedication to a strong work ethic and their ability to cultivate a winning culture. The Red Wings have left a lasting impact on the sport, and I've always found inspiration in their achievements.

 

Is this your first time in a sim league?
Yes, this is my first time participating in a simulation league. The concept of sim leagues is fascinating to me, as it provides an avenue to experience the world of professional hockey in a unique way. I'm excited to embrace the challenges and opportunities that come with being a part of the VHL and look forward to making a name for myself in this virtual hockey community.

6. Is this your first time in a sim league?

1. I like building hockey players, and the SHL is too in depth - money leagues, smh

2. The draft is the best part of being a new create.

3. I don’t watch hockey. I know nothing 

4. Pretty good.

1. What brought you to the VHL?
Well, I was watching some hockey videos on YouTube and I saw a link to this site. I enjoyed the content in the video, and said "Why not?".
2. What are you most excited about?

I'm most excited to see not only how I grow and progress in the league, but also looking forward to working with my new team to see just how high we can elevate one another's game and presence in the VHL.
3. Are you modeling your player after anyone?

I'm looking to create a two way forward type of player. Something along the lines of a Robertson/Heiskanen hybrid if you will.
4. How are you feeling after making an account and a player?

I'm feeling pretty good. It took me a day or so to get familiar with the process, but the people here have been very helpful and have made this journey a lot easier.
5. What is your favorite NHL team?

I'm a long time Dallas Stars fan. I lived in Texas when they made the transition from Minnesota and I've been a fan ever since.
6. Is this your first time in a sim league?

Yes, unless you consider some EA leagues a sim style. I suppose they are as far as drafting and such, but this is more definitive "sim" as far as text based and forum based hockey goes.

2. getting back on the ice, it feels like forever since i had a pair of skates on!  can't wait to see my name when they introduce us  

 

3. not really. the base i created was to get myself excited (totally different from my others) and teammates will shape the rest of my VHLM build (sort of like ditto)

 

4. relieved/happy. my account has some rust i left abandoned and there's plenty of fantasy ahead. sky's the limit!!

6. nope. a person from my high school invited me to join an ea simulation league way back in 2009 (the game was older, 2005?). think i've had three breaks over the years averaging a year a peice
