Nighthawks.. secured the Victory Cup!

To follow suit with many of my other teammates, this Media Spot is almost exactly as advertised in the title. The only change now, is that we have not only clinched the victory cup, but we have in fact- secured it. 
In a historic run, almost surpassing the Nighthawks’ former best season record, the top team in the VHL would land 1 win shy in their attempt to break the old record of a 53 win season. As unfortunate as that is, the Malmo Nighthawks still finished off the season 1st overall in the VHL with a 52-14-6 record, accounting for 110 points (12 points ahead of the next 3 teams who all tied with 98) which made them the only team this season to break the 100 point barrier.
1 of the top stories coming out of the Nighthawks amazing season, is a lesser looked at detail that many across the league failed to notice. Assistant Captain Viktor Jensen (Center, #12) finished the season with 35 goals and 55 assists for a team leading 90 points. This is a 10 goal and 5 assist jump from his previous season- making it the best season so far for “one-two” in his career. These are not the biggest story that is being taken away from his best season to date, although it is certainly impressive, because he actually finished the season with an incredible 0 PIMs! Absolutely mind boggling and he certainly deserves all of the hype and praise surrounding him for achieving such a phenomenal feat!
Another top story is surrounding the team performance- more specifically how 6 out of 10 players on the Nighthawks’ roster finished over a point per game. The other teams around the league have some “superstar” talent but their depth really didn’t show up as much in comparison. Some teams are noticeably nervous at the fact that the Nighthawks seem to be the most complete team throughout their whole lineup as we head into the playoffs, and rightfully so.
Another highlight this season is that Captain Ash Sparks (Goalie, #39) was fired up and played lights out this season. He managed an incredible 0.930 save%(4th), along with a 2.23 GAA(2nd), and 5 shutouts (tied 2nd) in his 64 games played. This also earned him the best winning record among goalies this season (46-13-5) and was never chased out of the crease once. This was a fantastic showing by the Nighthawks’ star goaltender, but his fierce personality and hot takes throughout the course of the season most likely haven’t won him favors. While the fans, players, and management for the Nighthawks seem to love their Captain- it’s fair to say that the rest of the league doesn’t feel the same way. League biases against Malmo and their controversial goalie/captain aside, nobody can dispute that he was a top 3 goaltender this season- along side the fact that more than half the team finished the season over a PPG.
Another spicy fact seems to be surround a long term sponsorship deal between the Malmo Nighthawks and Taco Bell. Apparently there will be a new special combo available in a Taco Bell near you for a limited time, called the “Soaring to Victory” combo deal (1 Victory Cup cup included per combo)! Where you and your family can dine on 6 tacos, all loaded with an “over point per game” premium style blend of sauces and our limited time Volcanic Ash taco shells! Guaranteed to steal the show while you watch your Nighthawks soar towards the Continental Cup!
