Welcome to the VHL, Elhandon! We're happy to have you. You should have received a PM with some more detailed information, but to get started quickly you will want to head over to the create-a-player forum.

 

Once you're there, create a player by starting a new topic and pasting in one of the following templates (completed):

• Your player cannot be taller than 80 inches (6'8") or shorter than 65 inches (5'5")
• Your player cannot exceed 250 lbs or weigh less than 140 lbs.
• No special characters in player names. Things like 'ä' will be entered into the sim as a plain letter 'a'. 
• You may apply 30 points (TPE) to your player at creation. As attributes start at 40, these 30 points can simply be applied at a 1:1 scale. (Please note our update scale for your future additions)

 

Please apply 30 TPE to your player at creation.

Glad the reddit posts are getting some traction XD

 

Have you thought about what position/kind of player you want to make?

[Elhandon 66]

Was going to ask you which position is in the highest demand?  I grew up playing LW, but I assume the VHL is flooded with forwards.

[Elhandon 66]

Before I nail down a player, would love to know if there is an obvious need in the league for a certain player type, (example, defensive defenseman, or speedy winger, etc).  I have no experience here, so I'm not sure if this matters or not...

If anyone could let me know, that would be great, thanks!

Defensemen are always needed, but there are definitely more centers than wingers, so really what ever position you want to play will be in demand!

@Elhandon

I would honestly say goaltending is probably a good demand at the moment. At least, future goaltending in the VHL. Although, if you'd rather take a more offensive route and you like points and stats like that, go with defense.

 

Welcome to the website though!
