What would the Melbourne team be called? I wrote a full expansion for Australia and oceania. I went wit Melbourne Matildas. 

I like Melbourne Matildas my other ideas without doing like research would be:

Melbourne Reds alt alt name: Poppies (Anzac) Or Melbourne Surf (obvious surfing)

 

I would go with the Reds

1. How do you feel about your performance this last season?

I'm very happy with it. I didn't put up the biggest numbers on the team, but I had a role to play and I feel like I did my job really well.

2. What aspect of your game will you be working on the most this offseason?

We are losing our best defenseman this offseason, so I've got some big shoes to fill.

3. If you are staying in the VHLM and are staying with your team, What do you think of your teams chances next season?

The bulls are going to lose a lot of the pieces that got us the cup this season, but I think we can put up a repeat performance in the coming season.

5. If you are going to be drafted and play in the VHL, which team do you hope drafts you?

Playing in Prague would be cool, because I'd be close to home again, but there are lots of places that I'll be happy.

6. If you could change one aspect of your game what would it be.

I need to shoot less and pass more. I'm surrounded by guys with an excellent shot that I'll probably never be able to replicate. I need to get better at getting the puck to them.
7. What aspect of your game do you think is your greatest strength? 

Preventing opponents from gaining the zone with possession. No one is going to skate past me with the puck and stay on their feet.

 

[zepheter 586]

1. How do you feel about your performance this last season? 

I sucked! Didn't even play a single minute! 

 

2. What aspect of your game will you be working on the most this offseason? 

I haven't added any points yet... so I'll be working on everything. 

 

3. If you are staying in the VHLM and are staying with your team, What do you think of your teams chances next season? 

Even though I wasn't able to be signed, I was in the LVA locker room and enjoyed it for what it was. Going to support my team no matter what, so I'm pretty confident we'll do just fine. 

 

4. If you are staying in the VHLM and are in the VHLM Draft, what team would you love to play for? 

I've already played for Philly and briefly for Yukon. I'd love to play for Mexico City or Las Vegas. Both teams have plenty of draft picks over the next couple seasons so I could see myself landing there. 

 

5. If you are going to be drafted and play in the VHL, which team do you hope drafts you? 

A team in Europe, I hope. My top three would be Prague, Riga, and Helsinki.

 

6. If you could change one aspect of your game what would it be? 

Kinda like real life, I need to be a bit more physical. I'm not the biggest defenseman, but I need to show I"m not there to be pushed around.

7. What aspect of your game do you think is your greatest strength? 

I'm a defenseman, so I hope it's defense. Looking to have a good two-way game so I'm not a liability in the offensive zone. 

 

8. What do you bring to a VHL team? 

I like to think I'm a good locker room presence. Maybe I don't speak all that much, but I'm there for people.

 

9. What kind of player do you want to be? 

Two-way defenseman. Reliable in both ends. Not particularly keen on being the top scoring defenseman, but I would like to be able to put up points while also shutting down my opponent's offense.

2. No, this is the only one I have ever joined. Also I haven't really bothered to look at other leagues.

3. I would have to say Acyd Burn is one of the nicest individuals I have met so far, but I have met a lot of awesome people here already!

4. I feel I need a whole season still before I go up to the VHL but I am eager to grow and make my place in VHL history.

5. My favourite on-ice memory this past year was stealing a 50 save win after losing so much all year, it made me feel like my hard work was paying off.

6. Hamilton Thunder, with the Blue, Black, and Silver Lightning logo.

7. I went back home to a small town just outside Hamilton to be with my wife and son.

8. My biggest surprise was my location in the draft being so high, I really didn't expect so many teams contacting me.

9. I want to become my own legend in the league, and set an example of my own style of goaltending for future generations.

10. I would just go home, be with my family, and start my own business in Restoration and Creation.

2) Yeah I'm a part of the SHL and it's aight I guess. VHL seems like it has a better system and is less work.

 

4) I will not go up to the VHL next season considering I haven't been drafted to the VHLM yet.

 

5) My favourite memory was creating my player and thinking of a player name.

 

6) I think the Seattle Starbucks would be pretty cool although we might run into copyright issues. To try to avoid those issues we can have the logo be a pumpkin with some cinnamon sticks.

 

7) I like to take holidays in Michigan and hang out by the lakes, maybe play some golf.

 

9) Definitely Berocka Sundqvist. They're a legend and I want to model my game after them.

9. What kind of player do you want to be? A solid starter I know that I’ll never be a superstar, but I’m fine with that

10. Name one VHL player you look up too? I’d say My starting goaltender as he was my mentor pre-vhl draft.

 

[Frostbite 38]

1) Since it's not been too long since you've joined the league, what are thoughts on the league so far as a whole?

 The league has been very inviting and I have enjoyed all of it so far. Its very easy to navigate and figure out how to update.

 

2) Are there any areas in the league that you would like to see a change/improvement? 

For the most part not really, however I will say that I wish it was easier to access some things. For example sending an automatic e-mail to new accounts on what they should do first, or something like that.

 

3) Who is the nicest member you have met outside your team? 

Why you gotta ask me that question lol. Well that's obviously a tough decision since there's so many cool people in the league so I'm not exactly anser that and just say that everyone is the nicest person (except for _______ of course).

 

4) What are your aims this season in the VHLM?

I don't want to set my goals to high, so I'll just say that I want to see the Hounds make the playoffs and win a couple of games in the playoffs

 

5) With the teams starting to take shape, who do you consider to be the favourite for the VHLM Founders Cup?

Well its obviously the Hounds, they got me, a solid goalie at pick 5, and a bunch of other guys that are awesome. With a couple of veterans coming back,  a run is definitely in the realm of possibility.

 

6b) What do you think of your current VHLM team? (If you were selected in the VHLM Draft)

 My team is awesome so far! The locker ream is really active with alumni and current players alike and the GM's are very inviting. Our team is really solid too and I am very excited.

While I still can't pronounce my team's city name as I'm on the Miss........ Hounds, I do like our logo.

9. What kind of player do you want to be?

10. Name one VHL player you look up too?

 

1.  I felt my performance was alright, I don't really think much was expected of me being drafted 50th overall in the VHLM.  I picked it up late in the season, 72GP and 33P playing on the 3rd line most season. 

 

2. I have been working on my defensive skills all off-season so far, I believe they are now even with the rest of my game!

 

3. I think our chances this next season are great!  We showed a lot of determination in the last half of the season and let people know that we mean business.  We completely turned it around in the last half and gave Vegas a good fight!

 

6.  Probably change my goal scoring ability!  I want to go out there and make people nervous when I have the puck close to the net.

 

9.  I want to be a great goal scorer who can also see where my teammates are on the ice, a wicked shot but also a smooth passer who scares everyone when I have the puck!

 

10.  Although he is now retired, Matt Thompson is probably a name that will be in everyones head for a long time to come.. Coming off a phenomenal final season, He has been top 4 in goals and top 9 in points for the last 4 seasons!  He puts the puck in the back of the net, averaging 52+ goals a season on his career, ANIMAL!

Satisfied, it went well but not great.

 

I may look at making the switch to forward, rack up some points.

 

They aren't great, I expect to be traded to be honest

 

I may go up to NYA next season, we'll see how I feel.

 

I want to be a better shooter, hopefully my work I put in will help

 

Defense, defense defence.

This is a thread designed to help newer members and players get the full 2 TPE out of Press Conferences if they haven't received enough questions and will be updated with new questions every Saturday. If you answer 6 of these questions, you will receive 2 TPE.

 

If you've already answered enough questions in other press conferences to reach 2 TPE, then you do not need to answer these questions (These questions here do not grant an additional 2 TPE on top of the 2 TPE you've already earned)

 

1) Since it's not been too long since you've joined the league, what are thoughts on the league so far as a whole?

It's competitive. In order to stay relevant, you have remain dedicated and put forth an effort. 

2) Are there any areas in the league that you would like to see a change/improvement? 

I'm just a player, but 'you, do you'... 

3) The VHLM Newsletter launched earlier this week, did you read it and was it helpful to you? 

There's a newsletter? 

4) What are your aims this season in the VHLM?

I'm going to Pinky and Brain it...take it over!

5) With the teams starting to take shape, who do you consider to be the favourite for the VHLM Founders Cup?

I'm on the Minnesota Storm...so with me as their goaltender....I think we're in the talk for top contending teams, and no one should overlook us. 

6a) Is there any player on your VHL team that you're particularly looking forward to playing with when you make the VHL? (For players who were also in the VHL Draft)

6b) What do you think of your current VHLM team? (If you were selected in the VHLM Draft)

6c) If a GM were to make you an offer, what kind of player would they be getting? (If you're currently unaffiliated). 

WINS.

5)I think that the Ottawa lynx have a very good chance for winning the cup.

6c)If a GM made an offer they would be getting an all around good player who has the potential to help there team.

[Damon Da Silva 2]

1 I think this is a really good league and i am ready to get started and become a franchise player!

2) Maybe the TPE system I think it is a bit difficult to get some TPE and the people that are really in to the game will be way better than the rest. 

3) I read it and seemed to give me a better understanding on what is happening Thanks. 

4) My aims this season is to become a good and maybe a franchise player.

5) I predict that the Ottawa Lynx have a really good chance in winning the cup

2. What do you wish to practice the most this season? 

Hockey.

3. What is a personal Goal for yourself this season?

4. What do you think your team will do this season? 

Probably suck because they'll have me.
