Kendrick 4,741 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Beketov and I go way back because we both have been here since the first season. Sharpe (as many of us know him by) has been improving this league from the beginning. He got off on a wrong note in the league as he was the first overall pick but alsowas suspended for the first season. Although many of us (myself included) feel the punishment was harsh and somewhat administered by a pretty biased member named Scotty, Sharpe stuck around and that nobody Scotty Campbell no longer is here. Beketov has been playing the role of Commissioner in this league for quite a while. That's not the only role he has played, he has worn many hats like many of the other members I have written about. @Beketov has had some great players and some average players (who hasn't) but he consistently is focused on improving this league in whatever capacity he is in. I feel like this league has great leadership. I have clashed with him as well, but I think one thing is for sure; we both care a lot about this league surviving and continuing that somewhat we battle it out with words to come up with resolutions and peaceful conclusions. If you need a question answered just give Sharpey a call and he will most likely point you in the right direction. diamond_ace, Devise, SlapshotWrangler and 4 others 7 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/83650-ode-to-beketov/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was administered by Brooks and egged on by countless otherwise who’s names I no longer remember. Scotty actually is the one who talked me into staying.

Devise 4,475 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I still can't fathom how wild it must be to have the perspective of being in the league since the first season. To see the ups/downs, changes both in the running of the league and even community standards. Lot's of ups and downs, crazy growth too. Imagine what it'll be like if we hit 100 season's? How many years would that be of league history even lol. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/83650-ode-to-beketov/#findComment-750378 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garsh 1,195 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I need someone to write up an extensive 'what if' around the idea of Bek being permanently banned and all the ways the league would be different today.
