Commissioner Beketov 9,025 Posted October 20, 2019 Commissioner Share Posted October 20, 2019 Sigh Why must I always make theme week a thing, it means I actually have to write stuff. This season especially is annoying since I need to actually remember the league’s first 10 seasons: difficult since it was 12 years ago. So, what’s a commish to do? The simple thing of course, talk community instead. Specifically steal an idea I read earlier but go a bit further back and mention the 3 people I’d like to see back in the league from its first decade. Scotty: Ah our original leader. The man responsible for most of the articles this week given how completely dominant his player was in everything but being drafted first. Scotty’s got a kid and a wife and is generally a busy guy these days which means he hasn’t come back around in quite some time, even though I ask him to on most of the league’s anniversaries. Anyway, none of us would be here without him and after such a huge member surge the past few years I think it would be interesting to have the new members meet the man who helped create the place. McNeil: Most people likely don’t remember McNeil as well, or at least as fondly, as I do. He was a staple member around the board when I was active with Beketov and an amazing teammate in the S12 Bears locker room which, to this day, remains one of the best LR’s I’ve ever been in. McNeil and I would shoot the shot over CoD a bunch and were generally closer than I have been with most members. I brought him back a few seasons ago but he couldn’t keep his activity level anywhere near the standard it used to be. Still, would be great to have him back. Julien: This is actually someone I wouldn’t have thought of until about a week ago when he commented on something in the VHL Facebook group and reminded me of his existence. Julien was one of the league’s earliest GM’s and one of the more targeted members back in the day. The league as a whole was pretty trolly and, as @JeffD can confirm, Julien and I were common targets. I don’t have insanely fond memories of him like I do with McNeil or anything but I just think it would be interesting to have an early member around who might enjoy seeing how far the league has truly come compared to where we started.

Admin Victor 10,940 Posted October 20, 2019 Admin Share Posted October 20, 2019 Didn't realise you still could reach out to Scotty. That gives me hope that he does pop in one day, even if just to say hi. McNeil was also great. One of those who I always want to mention in an article or something but because his other players weren't HOFers I never have enough data to talk about Vengeance or Jannula.

Popping in to say hi is pretty much all I usually ask but he’s a busy guy.

No I don't think they are (I barely made it before the end of the second decade, so I'd have no real basis for first decade members). Just going along with naming people I want back.
