Sunday Funday

[AJW 2,219]

This has hands down been my most exciting and fun day in the VHL so far.

 

First of all, I roll up to work a little slow in the brain (the drinks were calling me last night), so my day felt extremely long and tiring already. I was just waiting for the drafts at the end of my shift since my player was eligible for both. But then to my surprise I got a message from @dlamb offering me the AGM spot for the Warsaw Predators. Instant mood change. I landed my first ever job and I'm super stoked to be able to work with the guy who was my GM last season and helped me blossom into a solid member on these forums.

 

So after the first great news, along came the VHLM draft. I was still at work so could only check my phone here and there, but I instantly got lots of pings on discord once the draft started because I was the first overall pick! My player is playing in Mississauga this season and the team actually looks really good with the work done by @Zetterberg. I think it'll be a deep playoff run for the hounds and after a long season for me in Ottawa in S78, I'm ready to be on a winning team. Going first overall was so cool to me, I was the highest TPE candidate for picking but still it is a great feeling and exciting. Being able to click on the draft page on the portal and see my name beside S79 for first overall pick is sweet.

 

After the M draft was over, now came the big dog, the VHL draft. Prior to the draft I had GMs message me saying they want me and all, but Los Angeles was the only team that really let me know they were interested. So when I saw LA trade their first pick for Moscow's fifth overall, I knew exactly what was going on. I was drafted 5th overall and honestly I should be really proud of myself. As a first gen who joined S78 late, I think I did a pretty damn good job with my player and have opened up with the VHL community. I really do believe I belong in that top 5, many people still don't know me yet but I believe my impact on the league so far can reflect that number 5 pick. 

 

I really enjoy this league and love all of the people I have met so far. I am super excited for my future in the VHL and plan to be here for a while. ProAM is coming up for me as well so my mood couldn't be any better. This article is kind of long but so much has happened today and it's just all been so great.
