Post Season News

[Will3 418]

There is a lot of post season news going on right. A big wedding just happened, a new junior hockey league has been announced, and rumors swirling around the future of a VHLM franchise. All of this news coming up next.

 

Shortly after the offseason began, Riga Reign star Shubham Anand married a childhood friend and Olympic swimmer Mina Chopra in New Delhi. The three day ceremony drew in people around the globe, including current and former teammate of Shubham's, Grishma's friends from the World of Speed, some old Cricket buddies of Jayesh Anand, and many of Mina's friends and extended family. Every William Groves some how had time to show up, but more on why his attendance was unexpected later. Even among all of the many important ceremonies a traditional Indian wedding, Shubham managed to work in a pickup ice hockey game as a bachelor party. The wedding ended with a massive reception full of food, dancing and fun. It was a great time for everyone.  Mina is very happy to start her new life with Shubham and will move with him to Riga after a long honeymoon trip to San Diego up the coast to Calgary and every in between. Congratulations to the happy couple. May their marriage be long and happy.

Shubham Anand will have a lot on his plate upon returning to Riga, because the new hockey league he and his friends are staring has come into clearer focus. It will be called the Baltic Association of Junior Ice Hockey or BAJIH for short. The goal of this new league is to bring a new level of competitive hockey for the boys and girls living within Baltic communities. The host cities for the inaugural BAJIH teams are Riga, (obviously) Klaipeda, Tallinn, and Vilnius with other cities and communities in talk for expansion. We do know that former Team Lithuania captin Arūnas Serapin will lead the Vilnius club. We will see if other big names will lead teams in the future.  Expect more information on this new endeavor as it is announced.

 

Now to the surprising drama bubbling up in the Halifax 21st organization. With the departure of longtime GM Shawn, you would think that AGM William Groves would be clearly next in line for the GM position. Not so fast. The VHLM has made no announcements on who will be the the Halifax 21st GM as of yet. This is leading to rumors that the league has someone else in mind for that position or leave it open for applicants. The wait for confirmation on what the future of Halifax 21st hockey will be has William Groves in a lurch, not being able to do anything until the word is given ( except attending a wedding halfway across the globe ). We can only hope a conclusion to this matter comes soon. Update will be posted as they come.

 

That is all the news there is for now. All of these stories will be updated when possible. Good day to you all.
