Admin Victor 11,009 Posted April 4, 2023 Admin Share Posted April 4, 2023 Today we induct some people who have waited for a while and some who have barely waited at all. Behold.... LW/D - Jerome Reinhart, S79-S86 RS: 578 GP, 292 G, 492 A, 784 P, +170, 487 PIM, 919 HIT, 866 SB, 41 GW As LW- 288 GP, 202 G, 257 A, 459 P, +207, 161 PIM, 444 HIT, 126 SB, 26 GW As D- 290 GP, 90 G, 235 A, 325 P, -37, 326 PIM, 475 HIT, 740 SB, 15 GW PO: 61 GP, 41 G, 65 A, 106 P, +32, 45 PIM, 74 HIT, 60 SB, 5 GW As LW- 48 GP, 39 G, 57 A, 96 P, +37, 23 PIM, 50 HIT, 31 SB, 4 GW As D- 13 GP, 2 G, 8 A, 10 P, -5, 22 PIM, 24 HIT, 29 SB, 1 GW S79 Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy (Top Rookie) S81 Daisuke Kanou Trophy (Playoff MVP) S85 Scotty Campbell Trophy (Most Valuable) S85 Alexander Valiq Trophy (Top Offensive Defenceman) 2x All-VHL First Team (S82, S85) 2x All-VHL Second Team (S81, S83) Three Continental Cups (S80, S81, S82) The first of the Reinharts to make the Hall of Fame, Jerome was on track for immortality in those first 4 seasons in Vancouver. And whilst the threepeat years will forever be tainted for some, players can only play in the eras they play in, and Jerome Reinhart was clearly one of the best of his era. The Kanou Trophy of S81 shattered the long-standing record of 36 points in a single postseason, and the regular seasons were spectacular as well. The move to defence halfway through his career was for many a foolish mistake that would derail his HOF bid, but like Matt Bailey and Chris Hylands before him, Reinhart adapted incredibly well and even had a rare MVP season from the back, proving himself to be a slamdunk first ballot HOFer. @MexicanCow123 D - Erik Killinger, S71-S78 RS: 575 GP, 158 G, 432 A, 590 P, +25, 1,100 PIM, 1,643 HIT, 1,055 SB, 21 GW PO: 34 GP, 10 G, 23 A, 33 P, -2, 72 PIM, 124 HIT, 80 SB, 1 GW S77 Sterling Labatte Trophy (Top Defenceman) S77 Jake Wylde Trophy (Top Defensive Defenceman) 1x All-VHL First Team (S77) 1x All-VHL Second Team (S75) *rookie season spent as forward - 28 goals, 53 points Due to the misfortune of having a similar sounding name to Wesley Kellinger, Erik Killinger already has a Hall of Fame article. Well that's handy at least. He didn't quite need to wait the 4 decades of so to get inducted like Kellinger did, but Killinger was one of the older heads on the ballot for a while now, with some thinking his chance may have passed. But at last, the moment of recognition has arrived. Killinger never quite had the dominant offensive season we like to see in our defencemen, but he was a very consistent blue-liner and in an era with extremely low offense that was still a notable feat. His overall body of work, playing for teams that didn't really contend, kept him getting votes and finally an induction for a player worthy of his article. @Peace Voting Results Jerome Reinhart - 9/10 Erik Killinger - 6/10 --- Kristof Welch - 2/10 Tui Sova - 2/10 Jakab Holik, John Merrick, Matty Socks, Lee Xin, Robin Galante Nilsson, Paul Atreides, Brendan Telker, Reylynn Reinhart, Papa Emeritus - 0/10 This season we are also back with a Builder induction! As said countless times before, the Builder section of the Hall of Fame is a mix of high ranking executive roles and those that through their presence over the years have made the VHL what it is. @BOOM is very much in the latter category, perhaps one of the finest examples of it. Never a GM, with a variety of VHLM AGM roles before they were really a thing, Boom was the OG locker room guest before it became the norm. Through his easy going and approachable attitude, Boom played a mentor role to many of the league's up and coming over the years, has guested on countless podcasts, and has remained a reliable source of support, as well as high quality graphics, for longer than most can remember. I have been fortunate enough myself to be on the same team as and GM Boom's players, along with plenty of friendly interactions of the years. Advantage summarised it best in his prediction that Boom will scoff at this induction with some typical Aussie humility but we will force this induction upon you regardless and you deserve it mate. Congratulations Peace, Cow, and Boom!
