Skilton Arrives to ProAm late, Receives Warm Welcome

Andrew Skilton, fresh off his rookie season in the VHL where the Toronto Legion made the Continental Cup finals, figured he’d earned a bit of time to relax before taking part in the offseason ProAm Tournament. Of course, a week would be enough to recuperate from the long VHL season, right? WRONG. Part way through his vacation he had a thought to double check the website for the tournament and realized it had already started! Hastily, he threw together some outfits and grabbed his gear and headed to the airport as soon as he could. 

 

Upon arriving at the venue, Skilton immediately went to find tournament commissioner Tetricide to get his name on the draft board. It didn’t take long to find the commissioner, but he was surrounded by all of the GMs and incredibly busy. Somewhat brushing Skilton off, Tetricide said he was too late to join the draft but a team would pick him up afterward, and resumed is duties with the team leaders. 

 

Overjoyed about the fact that he could still play despite missing the sign-up window, Andrew took it upon himself to meet some of the other players who would be participating, and was met with a ballroom full of VHLers of the past, present, and future. Many of them approached Skilton to greet him including Legion teammates Harry Callahan and Dorji Khan, star defenceman Bocage, and rival Lucy Leitner who recently bested him for the Continental Cup. Everyone seemed to want to say hi to the frankly underwhelming rookie and he couldn’t figure out why. 

 

The most notable introduction, however, was Pombo. They were seemingly not signed up for the tournament but still found themselves in a room full of players that were. Strangely, Pombo actually approached Skilton several times to greet him, each time with an introduction. The first few times he thought it was a joke, but after the fourth he began to worry about Pombo. In a few games where they faced off against each other, Andrew knew he had laid out some crushing hits but this seemed extreme. During their fifth and sixth “introduction”, he made a point to check Pombo’s eyes to make sure there was nothing off there, and they seemed fine. So Skilton made a mental note to inform the VHL medical staff about his interaction with Pombo because he takes CTE very seriously and wants to make sure Pombo has a long and healthy career in the VHL. 

 

Next up, the Victory ProAm and then Season 96 in the VHL!
