14th Annual Unofficial VHL Regular Season Awards – S79

Another exciting regular season has come to a close. That means we can dole out some regular season awards! Welcome everyone to the 14th Annual Unofficial VHL Regular Season Awards honoring the highs and lows of S79! Thank you to everyone that reads this.

 

These awards have been created by me. There is no voting process and they are not officially recognized by the VHL Board of Governors. I wrote descriptions for most of these award names in the original award post.

 

For each award, I list the winners from the last 5 seasons. If you want to check out the award winners from every season, use this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sAZtX3bxVpPTIsKe1rSRVOenH1-iyWzbQEdR9ZvYOdU/edit?usp=sharing

 

I also document the “all-time” record for each category. Of course, by that I mean all-time for the existence of these awards, not all-time, all-time. Clear? Ok, good. Let’s get things underway!

 

 

The Pylon Award (worst +/- rating) – Jared Carter @jaredc7 :tor:

 

Toronto and Helsinki both battled to win this one, claiming the bottom 13 spots in the league for plus/minus. Spots 2-13 were relatively close, only separated by 8 points. Carter must have really wanted this award because they were 10 points worse than 2nd place. They win it with a -49 on the season.

 

All-time record: S73 - Balentine Kidd -  -74

The Major2 Award (most major penalties) - Henry Tucker @NSG88 :que:

 

Someone must have upset Tucker in the offseason because they went from sub 100PIM seasons to leading the league in PIM this season. Their league leading 11 majors helped their total PIM and win them this award.

Lamb watched teammate Aloe Dear win this award last season and thought to themselves, buy it must be fun to get hit a lot. I’m going to try that out. Not sure how fun it was, but they win the award by getting hit 310 times this season.

Well there’s record setting seasons and then there’s record shattering seasons. This was a record shattering season for Odinsson. The beat Lexi Glass’s all-time record from S77 by 44 shots! Their 614 shots were over 200 more shots than the S71 winning total (Scott Greene 402 shots)!

The “Hit the Broadside of the Barn” Award (most own shots blocked) - Groovy Dood @bigAL :dcd:

 

It takes a special talent to win one of the shots awards in a season when the all-time shot record is shattered by someone else. I have no idea how Dood did it, but they have one more shot blocked than Gunnar Odinsson, a total of 165. That ties the all-time record!

The “Can’t Hit the Broadside of the Barn” Award (most own shots missed) – Gunnar Odinsson @BOOM :mal:

 

I don’t think it’s much of a surprise that Odinsson won this award after smashing the shots on goal award. What is surprising is they barely set the all-time record, recording just 4 more shots missed than the previous record set by Brock Louth in S74 (429).

Woo hoo! I get an award. Stamen won 59.00% of their faceoffs, just beating out last year’s winner Aloe Dear @Renomitsu, who won a tantalizingly close 58.93% of their faceoffs.

The Castor Troy Award (lowest face-off win %, min 1,000 faceoffs) - Gustislav Nasherov @Vat :hel:

 

Maybe because they spent so much time killing penalties, they were sapped of the strength required to win faceoffs. Whatever the reason, Gustislav set the all-time low mark for faceoffs won with 29.60%

 

All-time record: S79 - Gustislav Nasherov – 29.60% face-offs won.

The Jason Voorhees Award (most PIM by a Goalie) - Jean Pierre Camus @solas :chi:

 

A strong showing from Camus getting 23 penalty minutes this season. I always like it when it’s an odd number because you know there was a major penalty in there. Something serious must have gone down.

 

All-time record: S76 - Doug Dimmadome - 29 PIM

Seems like no goalie can get more than 11 OT looses in a season lol, fine with me because than Jaxx Hextall will be on the list forever.

Great read as usual @DMaximus ! Thanks for providing some entertaining entertainment.

 

Unofficial congrats to all the unofficial winners! Esp my Malmo bros @.sniffuM and @BOOM!
