My "Unsung Hero"

[TheFlash 317]

   Hey everyone, so for theme week today I just wanted to shout out someone who helped me out early in my VHL career. That person is @BladeMaiden. When I came back to the VHL in February or March, after many years away, a lot had changed. I recognized a few posters and that was really it. For no reason in particular, I decided to sign with the Reapers in my first and only season in the VHLM with Hans Gruber. Blade was the GM of that team.

 

   We sucked, and spent the majority of the season in last place. But it never felt like it, as the locker room was always active and full of great conversation, no doubt spear-headed by our General Manager. She really took the time to help each and every player as well. Every new player was welcomed with open arms, and she went above and beyond to help you learn the ropes of player management. I think your first season, especially the first few weeks, are the most crucial in a player's development and is usually when you would decide to stick it out or go inactive. She definitely was a major reason why I stuck it out.

 

    I've been in multiple sim leagues since returning to the world of sim, and that locker room experience was by far the best I've had. I know she isn't GM anymore, and it's a damn shame, but all GMs, not just in the VHL but in every sim league, should strive for that level of leadership.

@TheFlash You made me tear up, you guys were amazing! I somehow  ended up  bringing the best of the VHLM together.  I still don't know how I continually  got the best LR full of guys.

 

Thank you so much for this and know I miss every single one of my guys, being part of the VHL continues to feel empty without you all in my LR and that is the truth.

So true! Those teams were such a great time. Wonder what all the old guys are up to now
