Dil 1,744 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Hello fellow VHLers! As you may already know, the S66 World Junior Championships will be starting soon and with that, we will have to hire 5 General Managers to represent the different teams in the tournament. Being a GM in the WJC is a great place for new members to gain valuable skills that a GM has that they can hopefully one day translate into a VHLM and/or VHL job! What does a WJC GM do? - Selecting a roster of players to represent your country. - Helping to generate discussion with your selected team-mates in both your respective team forum and in game threads. - Submitting lines for each game (No experience doing this? No worries! Feel free to reach out to the commissioners, your team-mates, or other GMs!) - Learning new and valuable skills that can help you advance in the VHL! List of Teams Team Canada Team USA Team Europe (All Europe, excluding Russia) Team Asia (All Asia, including Russia) Team World (All other countries and players not selected for the above four teams) Things To Consider - A 2 capped TPE pay will be awarded to General Managers, providing an extra incentive for those thinking about applying for the role. - Primarily, we will be looking to have teams represented by General Managers that own players of the same nationality. - If you're someone with no previous management experience in the VHL, then a role as WJC General Manager is a great way to introduce you to the basic concepts of managing a team. How To Apply To apply for a GM position, click and fill out this form Reminder: You do not have to have ANY GM or STHS experience prior to being a WJC GM. This is a way for new members to gain said experience so don't hesitate to apply!

Mexican has been a great AGM thus far and I think this opportunity would help his growth into becoming a VHLM GM some day. While he has a small grasp and understanding of what a GMs duties are, he has yet to experience it hands on. This would give him an opportunity to learn the line system and just the overall process of being a GM. Make it happen! @DilIsPickle Edited May 14, 2019 by InstantRockstar oilmandan and MexicanCow123 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give Canada a chance to be great again under a pro, plus his world jrs record is still as undefeated. Give the newbies a challenge! Plus It's always good to throw in at least one person who knows what the heck they are doing. @DilIsPickle Btw I think it is messed up that it isn't public who applies, there has to be some form of transparency.

TheFlash 317 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I’d like to apply for Team Europe. Played for them last WJC, would love to guide us to a repeat Gold. Plus, I’d love the experience at GMing! BladeMaiden 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jubo has tons of experience which is great, but the facts are just that, he’s been a GM and I think this experience should help those that don’t get that chance in the VHLM. No one is taking away what Jubo has done, I was on his winning team just two seasons ago. But if not Canada then I would have to hope Mexican at least gets the opportunity for another position cheers Matmenzinger, oilmandan and MexicanCow123 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end most of the applicants deserve their chance, that is what makes it hard. I speak from 3 seasons of experience.

Its just the way we did this in the past. Ultimately the decision is for Dil and company to make and they will do what they see fit. I applied last season as well with the notation of hoping they would give it to someone new if I wasn't selected. However they gave it to a long time member anyway lol.

It's great fun nonetheless, even if you don't win anything. Plus, I think my experience with Asia (even though I sucked as GM) may have been a factor in my hiring as GM this season. I learned quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_O 896 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) I'll apply for the USA. Played for them in the last WJC and I am super active and would also like to try my hand at a GM role. I am an AGM for Malmo as well. I just want one WJC GM role before I am no longer classified as a newer member.

RunnerBert11 57 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I'll throw my name in. I am a US player, but if US is not an option I'd be willing to GM any team or AGM with a newer GM who may want some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
