Hall of Fame Induction: OrbitingDeath

[Bayley 419]

 

Welcome to the Season 73 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony! I am happy to be inducting @OrbitingDeath  into the Hall of Fame! 

 

When you think of the word dedicated, you think of OD. He has had many hats since he has been here in the VHL since about Season 30. That is a crazy long time, when you think about it. He is not afraid to step into any role at all and take it on as a challenge. OD was the first ever Welfare Manager which is something that the VHL was trying out at the time to effectively manage the other league affiliations. That went as smooth as possible and was in effect until recently because of the portal. In addition to that, he he has been a grader, updater (both portal and non-portal). To all you new people, yes, that was a thing. We had to do all forum based updates, and he did that job with such prowess. It can be a painful and really annoying job to do, but he did it very well! 

 

When you look at the roles that he has done, there is not much he hasn't done. Along with the ones listed above, he was also Board of Governors for a time as well as doing VHL/VHLM writing. Everything he did, he did it very well.

 

There is no question that OD knows how to build players. Just look at what he did as Condor Adrienne. That honestly may go down as one of the best defenseman to play in the VHL. He has been a positive member of the community with his knowledge, positive attitude and Pokemon Go playing abilities. There is a reason why we are inducting him into the Hall of Fame.
