One door closes, Another one opens

The Malmo Nighthawks finished their S94 Campaign with a disappointing first round exit to the 3rd seeded Riga Reign. After such a long season just to come up short is no fun, but this is not the end for Randy Bobandy in Malmo. The 8th season vet completed his first four seasons with Seattle, was traded to Calgary for three seasons, and then recently was traded to Malmo this past season. Now having completed one of two remaining seasons on his player option contract, the old man continues to keep a steady beer-to-liquor ratio in order to finish his career for the Nighthawks. Bobandy was thrilled with his new team this season and has no plans on playing anywhere else. He is old, he just bought a nice property in Malmo, and long time friend Ash Sparks @DarkSpyro just announced his retirement to the league after a stunning career with the Nighthawks. Sparks and Bobandy played together in Seattle through S87 and S88, so it was a special treat for the two to reunite this past season.

 

There is always a finish line to everything and Bobandy's finish line is coming up quickly. I'm pretty impressed with myself to not only have stuck out the full 9 season VHL career with my second player, but also to have a fighting chance at the all-time TPE leaderboard. I hope that Bobandy will finish around the 1800+ TPE mark since I have made up my mind with the recreation of my next new player. I will be recreating next TDL with @DarkSpyro!

 

At the S95 Trade Deadline you can find myself and Spyro creating together with matching characters for the S96 VHL Draft Class. I'm really excited to be able to recreate with someone and be able to have fun playing lore around our characters! Spyro and I had a lot of fun this past season in the LR so I couldn't resist recreating with the guy. So far my first player AJ Williams was a Right Winger, my second and current player Randy Bobandy is a Center... I'm not name dropping my new player yet, but I will be creating a Defender for the first time! I've always found defence builds cool to plan and build, you get to keep track of more stats like Hits and Shots Blocked, and you really only need one good defender on the ice at all times so I hope to be that guy. For organization destination? I don't have a preference, I don't think Spyro has a preference... I would love to be drafted to the same team as Spyro though. Anywhere we go we will make a home and that's a guarantee.
