So You Want to Join the VHL

 

 Congratulations, you’ve just made one of the biggest decisions of your life. Ok, maybe getting married, having children, buying a house, choosing a school, buying a car, deciding what to bring to your in-law’s house for the annual thanksgiving get together are all more important. BUT, other than that, deciding to take a shot (no pun intended) at playing in the Victory Hockey League is pretty darn important. So, what should you know? How do you prepare? Whose got the best logo? Well, look no further, because here is your guide.

 

You’ve arrived and what do you do now. Well that depends on what kind of player you want to be. Want to be the next Scotty Campbell? Well then create the offensive beast at forward and see if you can score more than their 89 goals in a season! Or maybe you fancy more of a Sandro Clegane style, and want to stand tall between the pipes. Create your goalie and chase their 22 shutouts in a season! Or maybe, just maybe you fancy more of a Brad Marchand style. Listen, it’s a free country and you can do what you want but maybe take a second reconsider this decision. No matter what type of player you choose you’ll be welcomed into the VHL family with open arms (obviously 6 feet away though #socialdistancing)

 

What will it take to succeed in this league? Start in the VHLM and begin your junior career chasing the Founders Cup. Your team discord will anxiously be waiting for you, and you can look to them for all sorts of advice. Before you know it, you’ll be the one giving advice to the rookies. If you get traded or switch teams, your old locker room will always be keeping an eye out for you to come back and visit, because that is what the VHLM and the VHL as a whole is all about. Sure, we all want to be the one to claim the Continental Cup at the end of the season. And of course, there is good natured banter between clubs. But ultimately through your time here, everyone wants to help you. Be it with advice on what to write articles about, or whether to upgrade your skating or defence, there are always people around willing to give a helping hand.

 

In the VHL, players a spread out across the world. Whether you are in Hamilton, Ontario, St Louis, Missouri, or across the pond in Cologne, Germany or Seoul, South Korea, you become a part of the family. You are not just joining a virtual hockey league. You are joining an international family. So yes, come for the hockey, come for the glory, and come for the chance to live out your dreams as a hockey star. But stay for the family, the sense of community, and the friendships that come along with joining the best hockey simulation on the web, the Victory Hockey League.
