S85 Theme Week My Glorious GMs

[Rhynex Entertainment 487]

Theme Week. It is time for a celebration of the work of arts of the General Managers I have played under and worked for. I have to say I have had the pleasure to play for many high profile individuals in different aspects of the VHL since I have found this paradise. From the first time clicking open Google Play and searching for Hockey Simulations and finding VHL, I did not know what I was getting myself into. However, due to my typically short term memory and horrible matching of face to the name, I have taken a bad habit to forget who is who and have definitely missed a lot of people in this glorious celebration. (Also please ignore all my nicknames I would be giving to celebrate these glorious GMs)

 

The Superb Spartan @Spartan opened the world of VHL to me. GM @Spartan was the first person to introduce themselves to me here in the VHL and became the first to show me the ropes. Although GM @Spartan would end up not being my first ever GM, but GM @Spartan could and should definitely be considered as my first GM. I was drafted by someone into the VHLm before GM @Spartan had a chance to do so? But was quickly traded for by GM @Spartan to be a part of the Las Vegas Aces, all the way back in Season 73. To be honest, I do not even know who drafted me in the Season 73 VHLm dispersal draft. All I know, is that I did not even last more than a couple rounds in the draft before being traded.

 

GM @Spartan has taught me the basics of the VHL. How to grow a player and the basics to making a player. Something I am still terrible at doing. Las Vegas Aces locker room was a beautiful place under the safeguard of GM @Spartan . It was a friendly environment that built the super regular season powerhouse of Season 74. The development of Rhynex Entertainment under the Superb Spartan's guidance led to my first ever award in the world of VHL. Rhynex Entertainment would forever be immortalized in the VHL world as a Vladimir Boomchenko Trophy Winner in Season 74. My first ever award in the VHL world that ended up as Rhynex Entertainment's only award in his tenure. Although we did not find the expected success of the playoffs, it was a fantastic two seasons under GM @Spartan .

 

The second person I would express my gratitude to for their work of excellence in the world of VHL was actually not a GM of the VHL at the time. @dlamb holds the honour as the second GM to be named in my celebration of the GMs. GM @dlamb is someone who I @Rhynex Entertainmentcurrently work under for the Warsaw Predators and would remain as of right now the only GM to provide me with any kind of Victory Trophy. Although as management and not as a player. @dlamb first introduced to me as the AGM of the New York Americans in preparation for my first ever VHL draft in Season 74. I have learnt plenty from the Lamb Maestro. Under the shadows of the Lamb Maestro, Rhynex Entertainment followed up with a super rookie season, which I still regard as the Rookie of the Year season in Season 75. I still believe Rhynex Entertainment deserved the honours in Season 75, but it is what it is. GM @dlamb shows the hard working aspects of the VHL, taking on tasks and making life easy for the AGM. Although some might say that hard working is not entirely correct as there was the rumour that GM @dlamb did not actually do much in Season 84 as we (the Warsaw Predators) rose to dominance, becoming the VHL Champions.

 

Now if you talk about experience, draft luck, but not winning luck, you would look not much further than the adventures of Rhynex Entertainment in the New York Americans jersey. I had experience all this from my first VHL GM, who was a Drunk Bird? GM @Esso2264  was a champion in our hearts and a mastermind of team building, on paper at least. We had a great team of young forwards, defence, and goaltending, but end up not going anywhere in New York, but it was a locker room to remember. An active locker room is a good locker room, and I have build a good friendship with those in these active locker rooms. A learnt a lot in player building from that Drunk Bird. In fact, while Rhynex Entertainment did not end up becoming anything special, under the guidance of GM @Esso2264 , Rhynex Entertainment was a career Point Per Game player in the VHL and a Franchise Player of the Original VHL Team of the New York Americans. As of right now, Rhynex Entertainment remains 3rd all time in Goals, 7th all time in Assists, and 4th all time in Points for the New York Americans, while playing 4th all time in the number of games with New York.

 

I will finish off this article with one last GM, sorry I have left out a lot of GMs who deserves to be mentioned but there is just not too much to talk about apart from listing names. My current player, AirRig GoodBrandSun's GM @Ricer13 is another GM I would put in the Master Class. GM @Moon and GM @AJW are both Master Class GMs, but GM @Ricer13 had history with Rhynex Entertainment and it does not seem right to not include my current GM in the GM celebratory. GM @Ricer13 is a mastermind in team building. Both on paper and in the locker room, and on the ice although we have not seen the expertise in the VHL level yet. The Rice Man have been building winners since I could remember as Rhynex Entertainment and would even spend the time to answer questions and take an interview from someone who is not even playing for him. I have been learning a whole lot from GM @Ricer13 and have been receiving plenty of player building help. To be able to build an incredible active locker room and friendly environment is a major plus. Here to hoping the Rice Man GM @Ricer13 will bring me my first player Victory Trophy!
