Bana's Time as Part of the 15. [THEME WEEK OIOIOIOI]

[Banackock 8,141]

THEME WEEK OKAY?

 

15 years has gone by for the VHL and the heart is maybe ticking better than ever? You know what they say... it's never too late to make changes that will strengthen the heart of what helps you stay alive. That's exactly what the VHL had done and look at where we are! For the most part, I'm incredibly proud to be part of the VHL and tons of people in my circle of life know that I am in it, what it's about and I frequently talk about it to them. Typically, it's a place to hang out with cool people from all around the world. A chance for everyone to come together for the main purpose of the league - the hockey simulation and our players. Since the beginning of my time here, there's been a lot of things bumping around so let's take an extremely brief look at them to get me my word count (as I am running out of time) and then get me on the road to some pink whitney and chicken wings ( @ajwllmsn).

 

1. My First Player - Blake Campbell - G

While it's my first and should be harder to remember, I fondly can look back and know most things. of their career. I really enjoyed it up until the end and while it ended a bit too short, it was an awesome ride. I REALLY enjoyed playing for STO and @boubabi and while I did make the choice to leave, it ultimately led to a cup and Aidan Shaw with NYA. Can't say it was a bad move. This player retired and eventually became Blake Campbell the GM of the Bears.

 

2. VHLM GM

I was GM for the Bratislava Watchmen's GM in the 40's immediately prior to, and connected to, my Seattle tenure. I think we won something like 2 championships in 5 seasons and it was a lot of fun. Overall, it was a lot of fun and the start to all of this crazy stuff. 

 

3. Going in the WCoH and WJC

I've been part of a lot of these tournaments and have won a lot of medals as a manager. Some teams have been good, some have been heavy underdogs and some have been very fun, surprising victories! I've always enjoyed helping new members in the WJC, building the hype and being part of these things to keep the members engaged and having fun. Winning is also fun. So is adding stuff to the GM resume on here! I miss it. I loved doing it. I don't have the time and that's why I retired from these tournaments. If I can't be 101%, I can't do it. 

 

4. VHLM Commissioner

One of my favourites spans on this league. I really enjoyed this role. I loved helping the league grow. I loved engaging with every single new member. Talking to the managers every day. Being a part of how things work, how things grow and the enjoyment every member would experience. I was incredibly passionate in the role and while things happened as they did, I look back on it with positive thoughts only. It was very great!

 

5. Bears Goat GM

The best time I've had in any sim league and it just keeps going. Do I feel as energetic as before? Most days. Do I feel as passionate? Absolutely. Hungry? Yep. The team is always amazing. They're always loyal, always special, always just as hungry. They're amazing, smart, kind and open minded people. Maybe even some being forgiving! I've always been extremely fortunate to come across amazing people where the partnership extends beyond just the Bears and being on a team that tries to win. Say what you want, think what you want. Listen to those who play here. Listen to what they say, think and feel. Do not listen to old Bana.

 

This role has even been a big part of my life in many ways! I hope it continues for some time but you never know.. still waiting on sleep boy to step the **** down. @hedgehog337

 

THAT'S ENOUGH. Let's pass the salt around now.
