Hello, everyone, and welcome to the presentation of the S85 VHLM Awards.

 

We're here to congratulate the stand-outs of the VHL's minor league.

 

These are today's prospects.

 

Tomorrow's VHL stars.

 

Without further ado, let's get to it!

[Frank 5,211]

Nice to see that the VHLM awards budgeted for pictures.

First, let us congratulate our S85 Founder's Cup winners, the Philadelphia Reapers!

 

The Reapers weren't the favorites, and they entered most series as the underdogs... that didn't stop them from going all the way. In the Finals, they beat the champions, Las Vegas Aces, in six games.

 

Philly, Philly!

We have two awards left to give. The Mitch Higgins Trophy, for Top Defenseman, and the Ryan Sullivan Trophy, awarded to the player determined to be the MVP.

 

But the Packers have just scored a second Touchdown, so I'm going to take a break and watch the remainder of the first half without any more bling being given.

 

Be sure to come back, because these awards are to be continued!

We resume the regularly scheduled program with the Ryan Sullivan Trophy. This trophy is awarded to the player deemed to be the top defenseman in the VHLM. The defenseman is the ever-changing position in hockey and players who have won this award in the past come in all shapes and sizes. Recently we had @BOOM's Hammar Voss take the award in S82 and @Hogan's Hulk Hogan 2 take it in S80.

The Mitch Higgins Trophy. The MVP. No higher honor is awarded in the VHLM. Winning this award means your future is bright, and the proof is in the careers of past winners, some of whom we have already spoken about tonight.

 

Now...

 

It's... time! For the main event of the evening!

Why not? I felt like Hulk needed some good ol' appreciation as a leading defenseman.

Yeah, I saw the position switch.

 

Still, you did win the award as a defenseman and it'll be part of the record books as such. Now... if you win a MVP as a Center... that will make people 'dizzy' in the future.
