Admin Victor 11,043 Posted May 22, 2016 Admin Share Posted May 22, 2016 I was just updating the VHL/VHLM awards section of the Hall of Fame the other day and found some quirky things from a historical perspective. With my S50 project kicking in soon on the mag I won't have a slot to talk about these however, so here's a quick rundown. Lowest-scoring VHLM ever Bogdan Podarok had a fine last season in the minors, inspiring Bratislava to a second straight (and sixth in 18 seasons) Founder's Cup. He was head and shoulders above the opposition but also has the distinction of being the lowest-scoring top scorer in VHLM history. His 121 points were just 1 ahead of the VHL's leader Edwin Reencarnacion and no one else had led the VHLM with less than 130 points. Back in the day 200 points was a common sight and Evgeni Fyodorov of course set the record with 186 goals and 272 points back in S21. This is no slight on Podarok though, scoring levels have been steadily decreasing in the VHLM ever since a hard cap of 175 applied TPE was instituted 7-8 seasons ago. This season there was a two-way tie for most assists with 63 – some previous winners won it with more than 126 that Cian Mercer and Ken Anderson had combined. Only two players had 100 points at all, which would have been unheard of in the old VHL. This is a positive change IMO as high-scoring VHLM gods were a disheartening sight for newer members before. It just seems odd to someone accustomed to seasons like this, this, and especially this. I changed my mind, I don't actually have anything else interesting to point and this article would get too long anyway.
