VHL Coming Up On 10

[Devise 4,475]

The VHL will be celebrating it's 10th anniversary in July. Let that sink in. This silly crazy place has existed for ten real life years. A decade. Wow. Anyway there is some talk going on in the BoG about what we may do for the big occasion. Don't worry we recognize that things are a bit low in activity right now, and you know a decade is a pretty big deal. Based on the discussion I've seen I feel like a big event will unfold and everyone will smile and type a few things around the boards and be a bit more happy. But the reality is as we've all been saying the dip in activity isn't just the pacing of the season. That plays an impact, but a large majority of the member base is older now. That is what you get when some have been doing it for a decade. If so facto, we are all busy. We have lives. Some have kids, marriages, families, serious jobs, are in the end of their college/university careers so it's actually super serious business. The list goes on. 

 

Anyway, I still am looking forward to a big ten year anniversary, as such so should you. It could be a fun time.

Pretty crazy. I'be been around the SHL since Season 4 in and out. VHL I think I popped in and out, dunno how early but for sure in the 30's. Maybe earlier. Tried once before, didn't like it and then quite sometime later came on and made Blake Campbell!

 

Hopefully we see a rise in activity. With the big decade coming up, we should look at new rewards for recruiting and have a drive. Everyone come together and look! Seems a couple people find all the recruits but once they reach a certain TPE level to earn new rewards, they go inactive. Fishy to me but that's another day's topic.

Is there an exact date from July 2007 when the VHL came to fruition?

July 18th if I'm not mistaken is the day the doors opened.

The lyrics might not reflect, but the song title is spot on:p

Also happen to remember when the first substance abuse ban was assessed?

Can't say I do but you love bringing it up so much that maybe you remember

I tried finding a post from the MSFL (which ran 2006-2008) a bit ago about it opening, but all I could find was people really liking the 1 point XM Radio concept 

 

Crazy that it's lasted this long though. I'm not sure what 16 year old me would say that I'm still doing these things a decade later.

The Victory Hockey League (VHL) is a player simulation league where you are able to create a unique player of your own and compete with/against other members of the VHL (100% human). Creating a player is as easy as filling out a template, which takes you about two minutes (maybe up to five minutes if you have difficulty deciding on a player name, country, or position). After you post your player's template to our forum, you have a full career experience including drafts, minor leagues, trades, and free agency.

By doing weekly writing/graphics tasks, you are able to build your player's attributes. In doing so, you can dictate what type of player you create (power forward, sniper, defensive defenseman etc.). These point tasks are as fun as you make them out to be, but they usually take no more than 45 minutes per week to get full credit.

For the first thirty seasons of its history, the VHL featured eight teams - four in the North America Conference and four in European Conference. After Season 31, the league expanded ten teams, meaning five teams in each hemisphere. VHL franchises vary from the Toronto Legion, New York Americans, Cologne Express, and HC Davos Dynamo. Did we mention all VHL logos are designed by our own members? They're all incredibly impressive and the league is worth checking out for that reason alone.

All in all, to give the VHL a summation: we are an incredibly active organization that has continued discussion surrounding every day topics, whether that involves sports, school, or work. The league is successful because of its incredibly dedicated administration, its stunningly strong member base, and the will to make every day in this league fun. Below are some details surrounding what makes the league so impressive:

Quick Facts about the VHL:
We have been running for 37 seasons, or over 6 real years
All players in the league are members who have created players. There are no CPU's.
There are 10 teams in the league, 6 playoff teams.
We have unique logos for each team, designed by our members
We have a portal to keep track of statistics so your records will never be lost. Truth be told, there's never been a better time to join the league. We have seen over 100 players created over the past two seasons, and already have 45 signed up for next season's draft. If you spend a small amount of time on your point tasks, your player will have a very successful career.

Join the Victory Hockey League today to get your career started!

Members come and go all the time, it's how it always has been and always will be. Guys like Kendrick, Beketov, and streetlight who have been around since the early days are the outliers

Yeah Beketov and myself are OG's with Sterling. Streetlight wasn't (thank god).
