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?

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

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

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

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

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).

 

1. I absolutely love the league. The players, management, everything about it is so well structured and a lot of fun.

2. Newer players definitely have harder times picking up everything about the league, so maybe a more rookie friendly introduction and walk through of everything you can do here would be nice.

3. I have not read it because I did not know about it, but now that I do, I am absolutely going to read that.

4. I want to help the Reapers this season with scoring, whether it be from playmaking or goal scoring. I'm very excited about the opportunity given to me by Blade and can't wait to do my part for this team.

5. It's hard to ignore what Orion Slade has done for Minnesota. With his potential & point totals, along with his teams standings so far, they're absolutely my favorites for the Cup this year.

6b. The Reapers have incredible potential moving forward. The amount of young and skilled players that're coming up to prove their worth to the team show me that this team is hungry for a chance to prove they have what it takes to become contenders, and I am very excited to be apart of this system.

1. In the latter half of the season now and, while Halifax and Minnesota are quite a few points ahead, there is just 4 points separating 3rd and 7th, which of those five teams (Aces, Bulls, Lynx, Rush, Wild) do you think will finish highest at the end of the season?

HAL and MIN are the clear top two here, but for the next 5 teams, I think the front runners are probably the Aces and the Rush. So i'd rank them Aces, Rush, Lynx, Wild, Bulls, if I had to choose.

 

 

2. Since the last set of questions were asked, the World Juniors Rosters have been selected. What do you think about your nationalities chances at winning the tournament?

I was selected to Team Europe and I think we have a pretty decent shot at upsetting USA/CAN and winning the tournament. We have a lot of young prospects, but the potential of the team is really high. A lot of this WJC's Team Europe roster will be VHL superstars in the future.

 

 

3a. (If you made your World Juniors roster) Who would you consider the best player on your team?

Probably Codrick Past. A real gentleman of the game and a quality player. I hope to get some ice time with him, because he has a great breakout pass that I think would work well with my game as a forward.

 

 

4. Hunter Hearst Helmsley is currently leading the league in points and goals, do you think there's anyone who can stop him from leading in either come the end of the season?

Probably not. I like what he's done at NXT and I think he's underrated in terms of all-time wrestling greats. His runs in Degeneration X as well as the Corporation, are really underrated. A lot of people attribute the success of the Attitude Era to Austin and the Rock, but I think HHH played just as vital of a role.

 

 

5. Give a shout-out to one member of your team who has helped you out and why (maybe a member's player has helped your player perform well in the sim, a member who helped you with PT's, etc.)

I'll give a shout out to @cody73 . He's a good guy, is active in the LR, and embraces his role on the team. He's helped me by being defensively responsible on the ice, while always working hard imo.

 

 

6. Recommend either a video game or a movie for other members to play/watch and why you'd recommend it. 

I'm currently re-watching the Game of Thrones series, before the final season begins on April 14th. GoT is definitely one of, if not THE, greatest drama in the history of television. Even though watching season 1 to 7 takes like 4 IRL days, it's definitely worth the watch.... Either that, or THE HOLY MOUNTAIN.

the Bulls

2. Since the last set of questions were asked, the World Juniors Rosters have been selected. What do you think about your nationalities chances at winning the tournament?

i dont think europe has a very good chance at winning because the other teams are just way better

3b. (If you didn't make your World Juniors roster) Were you surprised not to make it onto your team's roster or was it expected?

it was expected because i am still new here and i dont have mush tpe

4. Hunter Hearst Helmsley is currently leading the league in points and goals, do you think there's anyone who can stop him from leading in either come the end of the season?

no one can stop him he is definititely going 1st overall

5. Give a shout-out to one member of your team who has helped you out and why (maybe a member's player has helped your player perform well in the sim, a member who helped you with PT's, etc.)

Thrandauil helped me a lot with getting a bunch of TPE by telling me what things to do

6. Recommend either a video game or a movie for other members to play/watch and why you'd recommend it. 

A great game to play in my free time is NBA 2K16

Why are you asking me for? I don't know.

 

2. Since the last set of questions were asked, the World Juniors Rosters have been selected. What do you think about your nationalities chances at winning the tournament?

 

Team USA always has a shot.

 

3a. (If you made your World Juniors roster) Who would you consider the best player on your team?

3b. (If you didn't make your World Juniors roster) Were you surprised not to make it onto your team's roster or was it expected? 

 

Of Course I didn't make the team, playing off in the NSHL, no-one knew I existed.

 

4. Hunter Hearst Helmsley is currently leading the league in points and goals, do you think there's anyone who can stop him from leading in either come the end of the season?

 

Hunter who? Put me on him and... Well yeah he will probably still score.

 

5. Give a shout-out to one member of your team who has helped you out and why (maybe a member's player has helped your player perform well in the sim, a member who helped you with PT's, etc.)

 

Shutout to the random people that commented on my new player thread. I'm so new noone has helped me that much. 

 

6. Recommend either a video game or a movie for other members to play/watch and why you'd recommend it. 

 

I'd recommend going outside for a change. Basketball is really fun.

I think the Aces will finish the highest at the end of season with the teams listed in the questions.

2. Since the last set of questions were asked, the World Juniors Rosters have been selected. What do you think about your nationalities chances at winning the tournament?

I think the USA have a great chance to win the tournament

3b. (If you didn't make your World Juniors roster) Were you surprised not to make it onto your team's roster or was it expected?

I was not surprised to not make it onto my team's roster because I am so new to VHL that I am not developed enough.

4. Hunter Hearst Helmsley is currently leading the league in points and goals, do you think there's anyone who can stop him from leading in either come the end of the season?

I do not think anyone will pass him, he is very good and going 1st overall in my opinion.

5. Give a shout-out to one member of your team who has helped you out and why (maybe a member's player has helped your player perform well in the sim, a member who helped you with PT's, etc.)

Thrandauil is who I will give a shoutout, he has been very helpful because he gives me tips on what to do to become a better player in VHL.

6. Recommend either a video game or a movie for other members to play/watch and why you'd recommend it. 

A great game to play is Battlefield 5.

[RunnerBert11 57]

• Are you excited for the WJC? Yea, I just broke 200 TPE, so I'm thinking I should be able to help Team Asia with an upset or two during the tourney.
• Who are you rooting for and why? Well I predicted USA and I'm kinda TPE hungry and I'm from USA, but playing for Asia I'm rooting for them to upset a team or two along the way.
• Who do you think will win? I think USA will be able to come out on top, but the first tourney I witnessed while in the league really threw a lot of people for a loop, so you really never know til the STHS gods have their say.
• Do you sing your country's national anthem or just mouth the words? You best bet I'm belting out every word, too bad for my teammates next to me cause I have a squawk-box of a singing voice
• What team would you like to GM in the WJC? I would've loved the opportunity to GM my home nation of USA, but I like the direction the committee took with the new v. old take on the GM selection, the little things like that make it easier I think for a lot of people to accept the fact that they didn't make the cut when there are some apparent indicators or reasons they can see they were over looked or not choosen.
• What is your fav task to gain tpe and why?  I don't know if I can say I have a favorite, but I have gotten pretty good at GIMP since starting this league and downloading the program for my first signature and I'm starting to really get a feel for it, so I do really enjoy learning the program further and making cards and graphics.

1. In the latter half of the season now and, while Halifax and Minnesota are quite a few points ahead, there is just 4 points separating 3rd and 7th, which of those five teams (Aces, Bulls, Lynx, Rush, Wild) do you think will finish highest at the end of the season?

It's getting even closers now. I think The Wild’s will make a big push right up to the end, but Vegas seems to be the most likely to finish 3rd.

2. Since the last set of questions were asked, the World Juniors Rosters have been selected. What do you think about your nationalities chances at winning the tournament?

The first games are a little concerning given the results, but as USA's rookie GM learns the ropes I think we will win it all.

3a. (If you made your World Juniors roster) Who would you consider the best player on your team?

Gritty is pretty scary, but also pretty good. 

4. Hunter Hearst Helmsley is currently leading the league in points and goals, do you think there's anyone who can stop him from leading in either come the end of the season?

Not without roids.

5. Give a shout-out to one member of your team who has helped you out and why (maybe a member's player has helped your player perform well in the sim, a member who helped you with PT's, etc.)

 @nethi99 has been very friendly and always willing to help anyone since I've joined.

6. Recommend either a video game or a movie for other members to play/watch and why you'd recommend it. 

If you haven't seen it, Ice Guardians is a pretty cool hockey documentary about enforcers and fighting in hockey.

I think Ottawa will finish highest by the end. Although they traded Lynch and Kylrad they have been darkhorses all season long. I can really see them upsetting a few teams this season and although not winning, at least putting up a good fight.

2. Since the last set of questions were asked, the World Juniors Rosters have been selected. What do you think about your nationalities chances at winning the tournament?

USA is going to be extremely hard to beat, I think they are clearly the strongest team on paper. and in this league often times the strongest team on paper wins the championship. But my team Team Asia will put up a good fight. We are strong in the TPE department and I think we will definitely medal this season.

3a. (If you made your World Juniors roster) Who would you consider the best player on your team?

I'd have to say Chico Smeb is the strongest player on Team Asia. He put in hard work and has been well rested all season long only playing like 10 minutes per game on Minnesota. Look for him to be super fresh heading into the tournamant and dominant. 

4. Hunter Hearst Helmsley is currently leading the league in points and goals, do you think there's anyone who can stop him from leading in either come the end of the season?

I don't think so, he's been so consistent all season long. With only 11 games to go I think he'll hold it down and finish the season in first in both points and goals. Although some of these guys from Minny are creeping up.

5. Give a shout-out to one member of your team who has helped you out and why (maybe a member's player has helped your player perform well in the sim, a member who helped you with PT's, etc.)

 @Kylrad Thanks mate for keeping me motivated competing against you in TPE

6. Recommend either a video game or a movie for other members to play/watch and why you'd recommend it. 

People say the new movie on Netflix "Birdbox" is bad, but honestly it was one of my favourite movies of the year, and my girlfriend agrees. I recommend it to anyone looking for a thriller to watch as it has a cool story and some good moments. "Us" was also really good if you feel like watching a movie in the cinema.

I think the bulls will finished the highest, they made a big trade getting Jack Lynch who was a monster on Ottawa and should do even better with the Bulls now

2. Since the last set of questions were asked, the World Juniors Rosters have been selected. What do you think about your nationalities chances at winning the tournament?

I think we have a good chance of winning with Team Europe, but both Canada and USA will be tough opponents

3a. (If you made your World Juniors roster) Who would you consider the best player on your team?

Jet Jaguar is the best player on the team and with me at his back he'll be even more unstoppable 

4. Hunter Hearst Helmsley is currently leading the league in points and goals, do you think there's anyone who can stop him from leading in either come the end of the season?

I don't think anyone will catch up to him but some of the guys on MIN may make it close and maybe even catch up to him

5. Give a shout-out to one member of your team who has helped you out and why (maybe a member's player has helped your player perform well in the sim, a member who helped you with PT's, etc.)

dpark has helped me out by motivating me to be better than him

6. Recommend either a video game or a movie for other members to play/watch and why you'd recommend it. 

Civilization god game even though i havent really played much of Civ 6 its prolly great with the new expansion.

[Rayzor_7 741]

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? 

Everyone in the league has been very nice. The league seems well structured and with the VHLM Expansion it will only get better.

 

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

I am looking to get drafted in the early rounds. I would hope to be the staring goalie and gain some experience in the professional levels.

 

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

The GM would be getting a strong rookie goalie. Small frame but an agile game, looking to develop.

Definitely would have to say the Legion probably is my favorite logo in the VHL.

What VHLM team do you want to be drafted by?

Any team that has some playing time for a rookie goalie.

Is your player a blonde, brunette or redhead?

Brunette... definitely brunette.  Angry goalies aren't stable... and ditsy ones, well... struggle stopping pucks.  Not good.

Weirdest thing in your hockey bag?

Dad's viagra.  Not sure why I have it yet though.

Colored tape for your stick, totally yes or absolute no? why?

Negative.  Not that I don't like it.  Black for goalies, best way to hide it from the other team.

Funniest thing about your player?

I eat ALL meals with a fork.  Cereal... Fork.  Sandwhich... made with a fork.  Ice Cream... fork.

What is your goal/ fight song?

Middle Child by J. Cole.

1) I really like the newest logo, the Malmo Nighthawks.
2) Going in the VHL draft and on a serious note, I want a GM who knows what he's doing and all I want is to play hockey and get them cups, yo.
3) Mikko has brown hair, not a typical scandinavian, but tbh he prefers it over being blond.
4) a pizza coupon, dude is always ready to get some of that pizza after the game.
5) Mikko doesn't have a colored tape, but he understands people who use it, more original.
6) goal song - Lil Nas X - Old Town Road

[Jubo 1,839]

1. What VHLM team do you want to be drafted by?

I'll answer this as if I had a new player at the moment; the Philly Reapers.

Looking at their crop of picks for the next couple seasons they look to be a consistent contender.

Their GM is also one of the most dedicated to recruit development.

 

2. Is your player a blonde, brunette or redhead?

Brunette. I've used Patrice Bergeron as the NHL player in my personal sigs for a while now, almost since creation of Borwinn.

 

3. Weirdest thing in your hockey bag?

- Emergency flashlight/power bank.

You never know when the power is going to go out or if you need to juice up a device on the road.

 

4. Colored tape for your stick, totally yes or absolute no? why?

- Light blue tape representing a colour of the Helsinki Titans logo.

 

5. Funniest thing about your player?

He can solve a rubix cube in under 60 seconds.

Not impressive or necessarily considered funny but its impressive to watch in person nonetheless.

 

6. What is your goal/ fight song?

Borwinn is certainly no fighter and I don't personally care for goal songs; the cheese level is too high.

If they had a General VHL one I would post weekly in it, too bad your not in CGY I post in there weekly as well. I think it might be frowned on to post in other teams Pressers if you are not doing it for a specific reason like i did for the WJC. Honestly you have been a member longer you can tell me if i'm right.

[Kylrad 178]

I will be stealing these questions cause why not

 

What VHL team logo do you like best?

Moscow or Malmo

What VHLM team do you want to be drafted by?

Reapers 

Is your player a blonde, brunette or redhead?

brunette

Weirdest thing in your hockey bag?

Chico Smeb

Colored tape for your stick, totally yes or absolute no? why?

I don't use it but i actually don't mind it.

What is your goal/ fight song?

I dont score enough goals or fight to warrant getting a song, maybe if there was an assist song. 

[11 Eleven 23]

Weirdest thing in your hockey bag?

Probably my Nintendo Switch. It keeps me interested on those long road trips.

[Savoire Faire 32]

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?

I love the VHL Portal... between this SBA/EFL... they flow really well together.

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

I'm still pretty new, so still bouncing around a bit figuring out where everything is.

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

Definitely a good twist to the league... provides solid insight.

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

To get some playing time! lol, hopefully.

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

Well... with it being the end of the season... I think this may be out of ate at this point of the season.

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

A dedicated and experience user in sim leagues when it comes to building goalies.  I'm stoked to be here and finally committed to the VHL system!

[gorlab 4,321]

I'm stealing these for April 15 - 21

 

 

What VHL team logo do you like best?

I think the Wolves are pretty dope, but the expansion teams (Moscow & Malmo) both have great logos. I probably hate Calgary and Toronto's logos tho.

 

What VHLM team do you want to be drafted by?

None of them because I'm headed to the VHL straight off. I hope the reapers do good in the draft though!

 

Is your player a blonde, brunette or redhead?

Jet Jaguar doesn't have hair. He has an aerodynamic headpiece made from a super strong metallic alloy. 

 

Colored tape for your stick, totally yes or absolute no? why?

Is there any league restrictions for tape colour?  I fuck with white tape on the blade, and a color job on the knob. (pause)

 

Funniest thing about your player?
He's a cybernetic robot, created by a group of Japanese scientists in a Ukrainian cave, to combat skyscraper-sized monsters. 

 

What is your goal/ fight song?

Probably the Jet Jaguar theme from Godzilla vs Megalon. It's called 'Punch! Punch! Punch!' I think.
