The New - New York Americans GM

[thadthrasher 1,692]

 

At the tail end of S74, coming up on two years ago, I created my very first VHL player, Thadius Sales. He started his career as a waiver signing on the Halifax 21st under the leadership of @Dil. Shortly after that I was contacted by @Esso2264 , asking if I had any interest in being drafted to the New York Americans. Of course, I was excited that any GM wanted to draft me, but of all of the teams that there were, the Americans were the team that I really longed to be on. That's where it all began. Sales was drafted in the S75 36th Overall to the New York Americans, and there he played 5 seasons. My goal then was to have Sales be a franchise player for New York, and although it didn't work out that way, the moves made allowed for Sales to get a couple of cups and have a great end to his career.

 

At the beginning of my time here in the VHL I applied to be the GM for the S75 Team USA in the WJC, and I was hired by good 'ol @bigAL. That, combined with my player being drafted by the New York Americans, made me fall in love with the New York franchise. From that point on I have always wanted to see New York do well, even if I wasn't on the team any longer. While I have applied for every VHL GM job I could, I was incredibly excited to see New York come up as a possibility, and if there was any team in the VHL that I would want to manage, it's New York.

 

Now, I'm aware that New York gets A LOT of garbage dumped on it by the general population, and I'm totally prepared to shovel it right off and clean up New York as best as I can. It's been since S53 that New York has lifted the cup, and I think it's about time that this cup drought ends! Here's to a brighter future in New York!

 

Finally, please stand, remove you hats, and pay respect as we sing the greatest National Anthem to ever exist!

Only fitting that the past WJC team USA GM who made those videos gets the most patriotic team. Godspeed Thad
