Theme Week Special "The VHLM" - Toughest league for winning

 

Ever since I've joint the VHLForum and this hockey league community, I've experienced the get together of a group of hockey fans experiencing the life of a professional hockey league player and management. For every new player, everyone builds toward the final goal, the grand stand of the top tier league, the VHL, however most forget the importance of the basics and the start. The importance of the VHLM.

 

The VHLM is the only league that every single new player will go through and experience. The VHLM is the only league where one would experience a beginning, and perhaps even an ending. As someone who is now with their third player, I have to say the VHLM has so far been the hardest league to win in for me. But wait, isn't the VHL the top tier league where all the best players play, where teams are very uneven and there are the most number of teams making it the hardest to win? Not necessary, since the VHL has no real player rating restrictions, it is very possible for there to be a couple teams that are much more outstanding than the rest of the competition, making it a bit easier to "win". The VHLE makes life even easier for victory given how small of a league they are. And then there's the VHLM. With a very quick and easily achievable player rating ceiling of 200, the VHLM is filled with maxed out players of equivalent standards making competition very ferocious and making victory a roll of the dice. This is of course, only my personal opinion formed from my personal experience from the life of my so far three players.

 

Let's not look at the VHLE, as the league is still very new and I am one for one in the VHLE with a Renaissance Cup through my first and only season with a player whom had played in the VHLE. Let's have a look at the VHL from since I've joint from Season 73. Through the life of Rhynex Entertainment, we saw a total of 5 champions in the 9 seasons between Season 73 to Season 81. Other than the S76 and S78 outliers of Chicago Phoenix and Warsaw Predators respectively, we literally had the same three teams rotating victories. If you were on any of the Seattle Bears, Malmo Nighthawks, or the Vancouver Wolves, you would have had a high chance of winning the cup. Add to the fact that each VHL player tend to have multiple seasons to facilitate a chance of winning the Continental Cup. But isn't it the same for the VHLM? You can stay behind and be part of a stacked 200 maxed rating team, and the same few teams are always winning the Founder's Cup. It is because every VHLM team could be the same stacked team, it really does become the luck of the draw on who will end up the winner each season. Not to mention most players graduate after one season or two max for the most parts. Going by my personal experience, I have played in the VHLM, through three players, five seasons. Ironically only two teams for the five seasons, but each time the team was stacked to the brim. I know how tough and ferocious the competition is in the VHLM, coming close but no cigar not once but twice in the five seasons. With all things considered, this is probably an unpopular choice and opinion, but I believe the VHLM is the toughest league to win, mainly due to the high competitive nature and restrictions of the league itself.
