Admin Victor 10,992 Posted May 11, 2014 Admin Share Posted May 11, 2014 In by far the easiest Hall of Fame session by the Board of Governors, a unanimous decision sees the induction of 3 worthy Hall of Famers: 2 Players and 1 Builder. ------------ The two players have been very unlucky to have retired at the same time as greats such as David Smalling, Alexander Labatte, Alexander Chershenko, and Ryan Sullivan, but this shouldn't take away from their accomplishments. At the time of writing, Phil Rafter and Volodymyr Rybak are in the top 6 all-time scorers and in the top 5 all-time goal-scorers and from S27 to S35 you couldn't go a season without seeing at least one of them among the VHL's offensive leaders.C - Phil Rafter, S27-S34 576 GP, 407 G, 485 A, 892 P, +342, 109 PIM, 80 HIT, 350 SB, 66 GW S28 Francis Trophy S29 Francis Trophy S30 Francis Trophy S32 Brett Slobodzian Trophy S32 Mike Szatkowski Trophy S32 Kevin Brooks Trophy S33 Mikka Virkkunen Trophy One Continental Cup (S31)LW - Volodymyr Rybak, S28-S35 576 GP, 398 G, 486 A, 884 P, +369, 447 PIM, 1075 HIT, 292 SB, 56 GW S31 Scotty Campbell Trophy S31 Lemieux Trophy S31 Joe Malone Memorial Trophy S35 Scott Boulet Trophy One Continental Cup (S30) ------------ Meanwhile, the inducted Builder is recently retired Seattle Bears GM Greg Harbinson. In addition to his recent tenure as the Bears GM (S34-S37), Greg also managed the team from S20 to S28, winning a Continental Cup along the way. With players Greg Harbinson, Hall of Famer Markus Strauss, Felix Peters, and Zack Sound, Greg spent 24 seasons with the Seattle Bears franchise from Season 13 to Season 37. No other member contributed more to the Seattle Bears or arguably any other VHL organisation than Greg Harbinson. ------------ With that, congratulations to the S37 VHL Hall of Fame inductees: Phil Rafter, Volodymyr Rybak, and Greg Harbinson.

Although...when Sullivan was drafted there he threatened me due to my draft position and recent early retirement After that cup win...calling me a "weird cool guy"....that won my heart though.
