Doomsday 4,126 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Hello VHL! It's been a long time, several years in fact. Some of you may remember me, but many more probably don't, so I felt a reintroduction of sorts would be a good way to re-enter this awesome community. I've made several players here, but my most successful by far was Thomas Landry, a RW that captained the HC Davos Dynamo to several cup appearances and victories in... oh God... Season 30s? 40s? He would be a rather old man by now in the league's timeline. I wrote for the VHL Magazine for several seasons and I also held an Assistant GM position in the VHLM as well. Since those days, a lot has changed. I moved from my hometown of Allentown, Pennsylvania to just outside of Reading (where I became a season ticket holder of the Reading Royals, the ECHL affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers). I've been married for over three years and I'm now the father of an absolutely ridiculous 18 month old son. I work for the Reading School District as an assistant in a classroom for children with multiple disabilities. I also work part time at a daycare, so needless to say, I work very long days. I can be found most nights on the World of CHEL on NHL 20 (Xbox One), where I'll be playing pretty much whatever position while hopelessly trying to teach myself how to play goalie. I absolutely will be creating a new player for the S71 draft class, and I have several ideas for what I want to do. However, I'm going to take some time to evaluate which positions would be the best to create at, along with beginning to reintegrate into this community. I've really missed writing, so really excited to get to do so again. Hoping to reacquaint with some old friends and hopefully make some new friends soon!

TPE scale and the amount of new teams will be the big differences I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gustav 6,401 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Welcome back @Doomsday! My team has a full roster, but otherwise we'd love to have you. As far as S71 goes, we're just past the trade deadline, so every position is a good choice at the moment. You'd probably have tough luck finding a spot on a VHLM team as a goalie this season, though there's probably someone or other that's hiding an open spot. Anyway, you don't know me, so I look forward to getting to know you well! See you on the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do everything right with your build and the player will still struggle. Thanks for the well-wishes and see you around! Gustav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomsday 4,126 Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 Hard to believe it's been one year already... it practically feels like a lifetime ago. Both the world and the VHL are very different places than they were a year ago, and Landry II has smashed my personal records on TPE earning. VSN more or less immediately took me on, providing me with all the writing opportunities I could ask for. The Saskatoon Wild gave me a shot to once again work on shaping new players into the future of a VHL that, with 16 teams and an abundance of new talent, is absolutely thriving, and it is a role I have absolutely cherished. It's been a hell of a year, VHL, so let's have an even better one! solas, Fire Tortorella, Gustav and 4 others 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
