VHL at a Glance!

[Uncommon 93]

As the title states in this article I'll be covering my first impressions of the VHL and its community. Topics discussed within will include my thoughts on the VHL, what the VHL has to offer, what I expect going into my first VHLM season as a player, and a little bit about myself. I'm looking forward to sharing my initial thoughts with the community and I hope you all enjoy the read. Since this is more of an informal piece I'll be writing it as such so don't mind all the I's Me's and My's. Thank you to the entire community in advance!

 

My first impressions of the VHL are really quite excellent. I discovered the VHL while browsing over some ice hockey videos on YouTube and for that I am truly thankful. I quickly followed up with the advertisement and now here we are only a few short days later. At first I browsed around the forums and looked over some of the various teams and players before joining the Discord server. I find that the website is well organized and easy to navigate despite there being so much information for new players to absorb. This efficiency equates to a less intimidating experience overall. Upon joining the Discord I was met with several cheerful greetings and a slew of people offering their advice and expertise on any matters that I might have questions on or needed help with. Players, GMs, and Staff all reaching out to lend a helping hand is always appreciated. I was even invited to several different locker rooms to have a home during the off season which provided me with a place to talk strategy and yet another forum to field my many questions.

 

The VHL offers so much to its community! There's the three leagues, communal artwork, creative writing, fantasy picks, trivia and so much more! A few things stand out to me here, mainly, the VHLM & VHL both providing us with all of that glorious simulated hockey we all so desperately crave. Beyond that there's the arts with entire sections devoted to helping the community better themselves through their creative works and collaborations. I only briefly browsed the graphics forums but I saw talented creators sharing their works with everyone and an accepting audience that offered positive reinforcement and helpful critiques to the aforementioned artists. All of this tied together by the creative writing works of the community which is just absolutely outstanding. The VHL is a place where everyone can come together and share their passion for creativity writing alongside their love for the sport of ice hockey. 

 

I'm really excited going into my first VHLM season. I think it's important not to set expectations too high for my player but I'm already working towards what I feel like is a solid start. Even with all the effort poured into the right build at the end of the day RNG still might get you! With that being said I think it's important to not only focus on your player's development but your own development within the community as well. That way if your player has a tough game, week, or year you still have someone to have a laugh with about it. I'm really glad I found the VHL and am now apart of this great community. Thanks again for reading and good luck out there!

Welcome to the league and we are always interested in what new members think of the league as it provides great feedback on areas that we are doing well and maybe areas we need to improve. After we have been here for awhile we seem to forget what it to be a new member as we simple fall into the routine of the weekly grind.

 

Again Welcome to the league!!
