Starchychaff 47 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Anthony Simmons was a average player who never reached the VHL but had his fair share of championships. Starting in Las Vegas he didn't last long at all being released before the end of the season. As is customary for he went into the VHLM Draft and was selected by the Philadelphia Reapers and here's where he would make a name for himself although not a big one. Known as a assist man who could score Simmons would be a solid piece to a championship core in Season 88 where he would earn his place as captain for the following Season 89 by giving a speech while down in the playoffs that rallied the teams spirits and the team would complete the comeback to win. After Season 89 going into Season 90 he would get the call up to the VHLE where season one he wouldn't have a good showing only scoring 16 points in 72 games, However the following season he would come back with a vengeance and score 79 in 72 and be a key contributor. The First two seasons in Cologne he would get playing time and win 2 Championships however in season 92 he would be named captain again for the second time in his career. But all good things must come to an End eventually and before he ever made it to the VHL he called it a career having felt he had gone as far as he could however that's just the beginning. Anthony Simmons II would start out on Mississauga as a mid season pick up and would go on to score 38 points in 38 games proving he could be a scoring threat however he would fall in the VHLM draft falling to Mexico. After a rocky start to life in Mexico Simmons would find his form and start scoring regularly until the trade happened. Season 93 mid season he would get traded back to Mississauga and would go on to score 28 points in a total of 23 games. Ending the season 93 Simmons II would have a total of 84 points in a "weaker" year than he would have appreciated. The following season 94 he would start on the Hounds again however would turn things around once the second trade happened. Simmons II was sent to Halifax and would never look back nearly doubling his points totals in less games scoring 76 points in 56 games added on with his Mississauga time he would have 97 points on the season. Now we are back to the present the finals of the VHLM can history repeat itself from the first Simmons and the team rally or will Simmons II join Cologne without a championship in tow.
