Toast player agency wasting no time

[Toast 887]

The Toast player agency returned towards the end of July, making their first appearance in the VHL in years. 

 

Head of the agency, Steve Smeall, is perhaps most known for his run as the general manager of the Riga Reign, which culminated in the team capturing its first Continental Cup in quite some time. Following that win, Smeall stepped down from his role with the team and stopped bringing in new players to the league. 

 

“It was a bad case of the burn out,” said Smeall. “I had worked hard to get where I was, and when I finally reached my first goal as a general manager, I realized just how much stress I was dealing with.

 

“I needed to step away from the league and figure out what was best for me. I think that was the right call.”

 

While time has passed, Smeall announced last weekend that the Toast player agency would be returning to the league with a new client, defenseman Burnt Toast. Toast is set to be part of the upcoming S62 VHLM Entry Draft and the following S63 VHL Entry Draft.

 

It didn’t take long following that announcement for Smeall to receive interest within other parts of the league as well. On Friday, it was announced that Smeall would be joining the Seattle Bears as their new assistant general manager by general manager Blake Campbell.

 

“Campbell and I go back to when I was managing Riga,” said Smeall. “He and I have always gotten along well and Seattle has been a big part of the careers of my various clients. I’m excited to see where this opportunity brings us.”

 

Seattle is currently deep within a rebuild phase and is looking to turn the franchise around sooner rather than later. They hold the second-overall pick in Monday’s S62 VHL Entry Draft and will be looking to potentially add Smeall’s latest client to the team as well in a season. 

 

While the Seattle Bears seems like they have a lot of work ahead of them, that wasn’t the only thing that Smeall got up to over the past week. On Sunday evening, it was announced that Smeall had also joined the VHLM Commissioner team.

 

“There is certainly going to be a lot of pressure with the position,” said Smeall. “The league looks a lot different than when I was last around and there have been some rule changes as well of course. I have a lot of learning to do over the next few days, but I’m looking forward to having my hands full as soon as I have gotten back to the league.”

 

Smeall won’t have to worry about having his hands full. After joining the team to replace the departing Smarch, it was revealed that VHLM commissioner Beaviss would also be leaving the league to focus of responsibilities with the recruitment squad. 

 

While the Toast player agency has just returned to the league, there is no doubt that they are picking up right where they left off, and that’s getting right to the hard work.
