Commissioner Beketov 8,638 Posted May 1, 2019 Commissioner Share Posted May 1, 2019 As is League tradition, every off-season the VHL presents it's Hall of Fame induction. This season, and for at least the next 3 seasons, the Board of Governors has decided that only one Player will be inducted, as opposed to the traditional 2 inductions each season. This season, the league's player induction gets in as a first ballot Hall of Famer after ending their career with a cup! G - Norris Stopko, S57, S57-64 @Bushito RS: 512GP, 269W, 207L, 32OTL, 0.922SV%, 2.41GAA, 49SO PO: 60GP, 35W, 20L, 5OTL, 0.932SV%, 2.48GAA, 4SO S61 Brett Slobodzian Trophy (Most Outstanding Player) S61 Aiden Shaw Trophy (Top Goalie) S61 Greg Clegane Trophy (Lowest GAA) S61 Dustin Funk Trophy (Most Improved Player) S62 Aiden Shaw Trophy (Top Goalie) S62 Greg Clegane Trophy (Lowest GAA) S63 Daisuke Kanou Trophy (Playoff MVP) S64 Daisuke Kanou Trophy (Playoff MVP) S64 Aiden Shaw Trophy (Top Goalie) First Team All-VHL (S62, S64) Two Continental Cups (S62, S64) The Hall of Fame Discussion this season was slightly split between a few players but ultimately Stopko's dominance at the goalie position over the course of his career was enough to land him in the Hall of Fame. A quick glance over his award cabinet shows exactly why with 3 Shaw trophies on top of 2 Kanou's, 2 Clegane's, and a Slobodzian with two continental cups rounding everything off. After the league's strong goaltenders in the 50's it seemed as if there was going to be a lull in top-end goaltending talent but Stopko quickly put that notion to rest and will now reside in the VHL Hall of Fame.

That Pettersson/Boeser sig you have....with the bottom cut off like that it looks like Petey is feeding Boeser, rather than in the full pic where you can see it's Boeser taking his mouthguard out. I think I like the first one better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
