Admin Victor 10,992 Posted December 26, 2013 Admin Share Posted December 26, 2013 Hello, welcome to this belated Christmas Day and now Boxing Day special: the Season 35 VHL Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony! This season was a stacked season, as despite numerous greats remaining from previous seasons, they were largely overshadowed by the influx of first-ballot players coming in from the great Season 27 draft class. Ultimately, the decision came down to the following four players: LW - Ansgar Snijider, S25-S32 576 GP, 349 G, 406 A, 755 P, +253, 777 PIM, 1959 HIT, 229 SB, 64 GW S26 Dustin Funk Trophy S29 Messier Trophy S30 Messier Trophy C - Alexander Chershenko, S27-S34 576 GP, 387 G, 489 A, 876 P, +283, 378 PIM, 731 HIT, 269 SB, 75 GW S29 Joe Malone Memorial Trophy S30 Howe Trophy S31 Brett Slobodzian Trophy S31 Joe Malone Memorial Trophy S33 Grimm Jonsson Trophy (co-winner) S34 Scotty Campbell Trophy S34 Brett Slobodzian Trophy S34 Daisuke Kanou Trophy S34 Mike Szatkowski Trophy S34 Kevin Brooks Trophy Two Continental Cups (S30, S32) C - Phil Rafter, S27-S34 576 GP, 407 G, 485 A, 892 P, +342, 109 PIM, 80 HIT, 350 SB, 66 GW S28 Francis Trophy S29 Francis Trophy S30 Francis Trophy S32 Brett Slobodzian Trophy S32 Mike Szatkowski Trophy S32 Kevin Brooks Trophy S33 Mikka Virkkunen Trophy One Continental Cup (S31) LW - David Smalling, S27-S34 576 GP, 353 G, 405 A, 758 P, +328, 1094 PIM, 2692 HIT, 240 SB, 58 GW S27 Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy S28 Scott Boulet Trophy S31 Scott Boulet Trophy S31 Grimm Jonsson Trophy S32 Scott Boulet Trophy S33 Scott Boulet Trophy S34 Scott Boulet Trophy One Continental Cup (S31) We've got Ansgar Snijider, the consistent scorer, unfortunately missing out on a Continental Cup during his career, Alexander Chershenko, the even more consistent scorer and possibly the best playoff performer outside of Scotty Campbell and Daisuke Kanou, Phil Rafter, the yet greater scorer and one of the very best in VHL history, and David Smalling, not particularly renowned for being a top scorer but rather for mixing a strong offensive game with amazing defensive play, setting the all-time hits record and winning a record 5 Scott Boulet Trophies, one more than Leeroy Jenkins and Scott Boulet himself. 12 members of the Board of Governors voted, as is tradition, for two players each and the result was such: Alexander Chershenko - 11 votes David Smalling - 11 votes ------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Rafter - 2 votes Thus, career-long rivals Alexander Chershenko and David Smalling are the S35 Hall of Fame inductees! Congratulations to Smalling! Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/3257-s35-hall-of-fame-induction/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike 708 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) I think Snijider might make the HOF soon the S29 talent was awful with myself and Marcellin the only two to crack 600 points.

Advantage 2,897 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I think Snijider might make the HOF soon the S29 talent was awful with myself and Marcellin the only two to crack 600 points. Yeah it's coming soon for him. There is still Sullivan, Labatte, Rybak and Rafter though.
