3rd Annual Unofficial VHL Regular Season Awards – S68

Another regular season has come to a close. That means we can dole out some regular season awards! Welcome everyone to the 3rd Annual Unofficial VHL Regular Season Awards for S68.

 

Anyway, these awards have been created by me. There is no voting process and they are not officially recognized by the VHL Board of Governors. I wrote silly little descriptions for most of these award names in the original award post. This year I'm cutting down on that junk and getting straight to business. Without further ado, away we go:

Console pleb. 

[Seabass 593]

Fun article man!  

[Joubo 77]

I'd like to first of all thank me, myself and I for this honour. The hours and hours I've sunk into CHEL over the years has really only helped in the shoot out.

 

Then I guess I'll thank my parents, they did conceive me on top of a Zamboni.

[DMaximus 1,046]

Thanks to everyone for the comments! It's a lot of fun making this article and I'm glad it's well received.

 

Claiming for week ending 11/3.
