1. I think defense is the most underrated right now honestly. I think people go more towards Offensive skills in real life.

2. Honestly, i think that would be stupidly hard to award that i don't think you could really do i wish i could.
3. Like i said i am not entirely sure maybe Patrick Laine on Helsinki

4. Same as above!

5. I don't really have a favourite holiday. I do enjoy the UK holiday of Pancake day xD but for seasons i love autumn.

6. I have done this before and honestly i'd put one in Sapporo!

1. I don't think backhand shots get enough love, I was always a fan growing up though

2. Call it the "Nice kid" award

3. Isabella Campbell on  Seattle or John Brewitt. Both have 0 PIMs in 46 games

4. I just got traded so that's hard to say

5. Christmas or Halloween

6. Cairo

1.  What aspect of Hockey (Defense, Stick Handling, etc.) do you think is the most underappreciated?

Awareness, defensive awareness specially. Being in the right place all the time, knowing where to be and when exactly is valuable and not easily seen in raw stats. Probably some advanced stat for it though idk.

2. The NHL has the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy for the player who exhibited outstanding sportsmanship. What should the name of that trophy be in the VHL?

Named after a HOF/legendary player who was exactly that. Can't name a player right now, but I'm sure there is one.

3. Who do you think deserves to win the award this year?

Guy Lesieur or Terrible Trivium.

4. Who do you think is your team's MVP this season?

Tsujimoto or UnGuri, tough call between them, can't say which rn.

5. What is your favorite holiday?

Christmas no doubt.

6. If the VHL has an expansion, what city would you like to see get a team?

Turku!!!!

1.  What aspect of Hockey (Defense, Stick Handling, etc.) do you think is the most underappreciated?

 

There likely should be an attribute for intuition or "hockey smarts".  However, given what we have, I think Defence is underappreciated, even in terms of point production, this attribute seems to have a large effect.

 

2. The NHL has the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy for the player who exhibited outstanding sportsmanship. What should the name of that trophy be in the VHL?

 

I did a Media Spot on this some time ago.  The VHL used to have a trophy like The Lady Byng.  it was called The Mikka Virkkunen and was last given out in S58.  Perhaps this should be renewed.  Dare we call it The Madoona ?

 

3. Who do you think deserves to win the award this year?

 

I think the criteria for such an award would have to be based on production vs. PIM.  So, at this point I like Guy Lesieur who has 93 points and only 7 PIM.

 

 

4. Who do you think is your team's MVP this season?

 

It is hard to say at this point, as we underwent a huge trade near the trade deadline.  There is no doubt that the elite players who have joined the Reign are having a profound effect on our team, but there needs to be some consideration to the players who got us to the point before the trade additions.  As well, individual performances in the playoffs will have to be taken into consideration.  In short....the jury is out !!

 

5. What is your favorite holiday?

 

Victoria Day (Third week-end in May).  Spring has started and we are getting ready for the summer season.  

 

6. If the VHL has an expansion, what city would you like to see get a team?

 

Again, I participated in a thread on this topic and made my case for:

5. What is your favorite holiday?

6. If the VHL has an expansion, what city would you like to see get a team?

 

1. I think blocking shots is the most underappreciated because it's difficult 

2. It should be named after a player who represented those qualities

3. Andrew Su has only 37 PIMs, so probably him

4. Duncan Montana has been great

5. Christmas because I get to see family and there's a long break

6. I think Buffalo could use a team

1.  What aspect of Hockey (Defense, Stick Handling, etc.) do you think is the most underappreciated? Goaltending. A good goalie makes all the difference.

2. The NHL has the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy for the player who exhibited outstanding sportsmanship. What should the name of that trophy be in the VHL? The Odin Omdahl trophy. That guy never gets any penalties.

3. Who do you think deserves to win the award this year? Odin Omdahl, as he's still kicking in his last season.

4. Who do you think is your team's MVP this season? Jim Bob. He really stepped up this season.

5. What is your favorite holiday? Christmas. No other holiday beats it.

6. If the VHL has an expansion, what city would you like to see get a team? I'd like to see Edmonton get a team.

1. I think it is he hockey sense, cause it is easy to say that a player is awful, because he doesn't produce, but on the ice this player always makes the good play, the good passe and the good back check.

2. I will go with The Teddy Bear Trophy.

3. I am new to the league, so i don't really the names of the players so i really don't know.

4. The season hasn't started yet, but my guess would be Angel Wachiure.

5. Christmas, because this the time of the year when you always see your family.

6. Quebec, because i believe that they deserve a professional hockey team.

1.  What aspect of Hockey (Defense, Stick Handling, etc.) do you think is the most underappreciated? Hockey IQ for sure. You can be an excellent skater, stickhandler, or even a great hitter but if you can't use your skills efficiently due to a lack of awareness of what is going on around you, you're as good as dust. The best hockey players have skills but also know what to do and when to do it.

2. The NHL has the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy for the player who exhibited outstanding sportsmanship. What should the name of that trophy be in the VHL? The 701 Trophy.

3. Who do you think deserves to win the award this year? Patrik Laine.

4. Who do you think is your team's MVP this season? As of right now, it is definitely Otto Numminen. Man is insane.

5. What is your favorite holiday? I'd have to say my favourite holiday would be Christmas. Nothing like a warm and cozy time inside and maybe some outdoor hockey if you are up to it.

6. If the VHL has an expansion, what city would you like to see get a team? Quebec City. First the Nordiques, now the Meute, like somebody get them a hockey team, they deserve one.

6. If the VHL has an expansion, what city would you like to see get a team?

 

1. I think defense, people who score goals are very appreciate by the fans but sometimes I think we forgot about the defense like a players block 6 shots on a game and it’s almost nothing. 
 

2. Mmmh The Hard working trophy. 
 

3. Zaza, Hogan 2 or karjalainen are all great picks to win it in the VHLM this year in the nhl I want Drouin to win it. 
 

4. Hulk Hogan 2 is in the top for points and shots block so he can do all. 
 

5. Thanksgiving I love turkey. 
 

6.  Hawaii call it like maybe the Hawaii Tikki or The Hawaii surfers.

5. What is your favorite holiday?

6. If the VHL has an expansion, what city would you like to see get a team?

 

1. Defense for sure it's simple, defense wins games. Doesn't matter how much you score if you cannot keep the puck out of your own net. (Especially in the VHL)
2. Uhhhh, The Sportsmenship trophy? To be honest I have no clue what to name it.
3. Hmm someone who has good sportsmenship... Maybe Sergey Preobrazhensky?
4. Robert Wilk for sure, he played well in San Diego.
5. Christmas, you get work breaks and relax. What's not to like?
6. Hmmm, somewhere in Russia, the Leningrad (St.Petersburg) Lakers? Or we can go to Byelorussia! The Minsk Musketeers! 

Edited by Bulduray_1

1.  What aspect of Hockey (Defense, Stick Handling, etc.) do you think is the most underappreciated?

 

I would say defense, it's equally important as offense but often goes unnoticed by the average fan. 

 

2. The NHL has the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy for the player who exhibited outstanding sportsmanship. What should the name of that trophy be in the VHL?

 

Sportmanship Award or name it after a player who exemplified those qualities during a long career. 

 

3. Who do you think deserves to win the award this year?

 

No idea since I just joined the league, but I'm sure there are some good candidates. 

 

4. Who do you think is your team's MVP this season?

 

I was not on a team this season but if I had been it'd probably be the player who had the most points and if it was close, edge to goals. 

 

5. What is your favorite holiday?

 

Probably Thanksgiving because everyone loves to eat and usually you see a lot of friends and family back in town. 

 

6. If the VHL has an expansion, what city would you like to see get a team?

 

Yellowknife. I think the Yellowknife Yetis would be a great addition to the league. 

 

1.  What aspect of Hockey (Defense, Stick Handling, etc.) do you think is the most underappreciated?

I would have to say ice awareness. I know it’s not a VHL attribute but if you know where to be at all times you’re going to be successful. Especially if you’re not super athletic.

 

5. What is your favorite holiday?

Definitely New Years Eve. So much anticipation and hopefulness for the next year. Usually only to be let down by how lame the next year ends up being. But it’s fun for one night.

 

6. If the VHL has an expansion, what city would you like to see get a team?

I would like to see a team in Africa, maybe Cameroon? There’s not a whole lot of hockey out there so it would be fun to see a team started in Africa.

3. Obi Adesanya

4. Probably Charlie

5. I like Thanksgiving, Obi loves to eat.

6. I think a team in Green Bay would be interesting.

  • 3 weeks later...

1.  What aspect of Hockey (Defense, Stick Handling, etc.) do you think is the most underappreciated?

I would have to say defense. People love scoring goals but stopping goals just as important.

2. The NHL has the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy for the player who exhibited outstanding sportsmanship. What should the name of that trophy be in the VHL?

Good question. Maybe name it based on a VHL contributor or even a real person like Nelson Mandela or something?

3. Who do you think deserves to win the award this year?

The season has not started yet but a lot of people put in a lot of hard work for the league and their teams.
