This offseason, the opportunity Juan Ceson had been waiting for for many seasons finally arrived. It had taken a long time but he finally had a goalie who was willing to play for his hockey team. All the other goalies had not been up to the right standards. Now, Juan was able to put together a team of the very best players in the VHL, past and present, to play in his very own invitational league.

Juan had been in close contact with the GM of the DC Dragons, John Frostbeard, since his son’s bakesale fundraiser (John Frostbeard is an excellent baker and if you’ve got a cake to bake and got no clue at all make sure you go to him for help), Ceson managed to arrange the use of the Dragons arena to hold the Dragons Invitational League (the name was sadly part of the agreement).

First, Juan hired Marlins GM to GM and coach the team for him. Then, Juan recruited the best players possible to play for his team, sponsored by the world’s favourite fast food restaurant, the Shindogs Shufflers. He bought in the members of the Juan Ceson’s Development Program – Stan Par, Ant R. Sap and Rat Pans – as well as the star of the Juan Ceson movie, Pat Snar. Jeffrey Pines Jr., the long awaited goalie filled the crease. The captain of the team was, of course, future VHLM star Manny Ceson, Juan’s son, and Manny brought along a friend he made while living in Halifax, former Halifax 21st star, John Season.

Somehow, despite many disagreements over the years, Bryn Yrwy, a Halifax 21st legend with his number in the rafters, also agreed to participate in the tournament. For some added star power, Juan invited international superstars and game show hosts, Rick Osman and Alex Armstrong to round out the team. With six defensemen, one goalie and only three forwards (Yrwy, Pans and Sap), the team was complete. Juan is a big believer in the defence-first strategy and so limited the number of forwards that teams are allowed to use as everyone knows forwards are useless.

Next, Juan started looking for the perfect GM/coach for the opposing team. The McDonald’s Mavericks, starring Ronald McDonald himself, needed a top-notch leader and so Juan’s new goalie Jeffrey Pines Jr. recruited his father, Bratislava Watchmen GM, Jeffrey Pines. Jeffrey was more than willing to help as he is a big fan of Juan Ceson. Between them, they recruited several players who Juan deemed of a high enough standard to play against his own Shindogs Shufflers. Up front he got Robin Sierra and David Michael, along with Ronald McDonald. In goal was the appropriately named Draw Mac. Finally, on defence were Samsayz I-Smell (a possible future VHL first overall pick), Kurt Bachmann (known for always coming in blutch), Dustin Moore (a player), Boris Bone-Breaker (who will hopefully break some people’s bones), a representative from the Victory Hockey League and also Frank Smungus, who had never played in the VHL or any of its leagues before but who Juan found on a website someone and persuaded to come along.

Both teams were stacked with great players and coaches and now it was just a matter of waiting and seeing which team would come out on top.
