Crónicas de los Reyes: Blood and Captains

[VattghernCZ 1,079]

 

Last week before the season starts. The most of it was spent cleaning up our arena after the VHLM dispersal draft took place here. You can imagine what a Bazooka Joe @ScottyP draft class looks like, especially when he invited Logan Ninefingers @Scurvy to watch, just so he can try to impress Ferro Maljinn with his draft position. Logan is now called the Bloody-Nine in Mexico as well, because there were just nine draft selections before things got bloody. Good thing red is our secondary color.

 

Another major thing happening was naming the team captains for the upcoming season, as voted by the players, with me taking the liberty to break the 3-way tie.

 

Giving the As to two rookies might seem bold, but Agustin Martinez @SleepyPlayz seamlessly fitted in and started leading by example with their work ethic - despite their 6'7 Philippino ass always looking annoyed - and Pepe Silvia @STZ immediately became a favorite both among the teammates and among the fans. How cool it is to see a goaltender with an A?

 

The C going to Ronan Amnon @Breeze837 was a no-brainer in my opinion. Ronan is a beloved teammate, one of the premier two-way defenders who has been a part of this team for some time and could be remembered as one of the all-time great Kings.

 

The first games are set to start in a few hours. The lines are in, blood sacrifice to Simon has been made. In Czechia, we open Christmas presents on December 24 evening, so I didn't get the opportunity to wake up all excited for them. Considering VHL sims are typically run when I'm sleeping, I guess they're a good substitute for me.
