NotAVHLM-GM 1,858 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 After being recruited here by @Corco I already had a good SHL player and knew I wanted to create a good one here aswell. I know Toronto wanted to draft me at a higher position, but they though I could fall to sixth. Luckily it indeed happened and my first player here is still the highest tpe player ever drafted at 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissioner Beketov 8,639 Posted July 18, 2017 Commissioner Share Posted July 18, 2017 Continuing my trend of trying to do these in order is the next obvious one: Though everything that happened immediately after it I would rather forget I would be remised if I did not mention one of my favourite memories from the VHL which is being the first player ever drafted in the league. Robert Sharpe, goaltender, first overall to the [doomed] Amstel Tijgers (no that isn't a typo). It was a terrible drafting decision to be honest since, you know, Scotty was the obvious choice but that's beyond the point. We're 55 seasons in, that's 55 different players that have ever been drafted first overall (56 if you count the S1 supplementary draft) but I'm the only one that can say I was the first player ever drafted. It hasn't happened since then (the Sharpe curse I call it) but that's beyond the point. Regardless of how good or bad the decision was to draft me first it's still one of my favourite memories that can't be taken away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgins 3,617 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Winning the cup in S34 with the Helsinki Titans. Pressure was on to win with the deep and active roster after three disappointing playoff defeats to Riga. Did a fist pump IRL when we won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

der meister 2,903 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 This may seem cheesy, but meeting people like @BOOM and @Phil absolutely made the VHL a better place for me, and conversations with these two in particular are definitely among my favorite memories of this league.

Corco 1,124 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Being drafted 2nd overall by in S29 was pretty special to me; I was new to the league at the time but I had been there long enough to learn that Vasteras obviously didn't have the best rep, but that didn't matter to me. I liked the idea of going to a down and out franchise, and helping them get back on top. I'll admit, I was definitely given the GM job too early in S31, as my only previous experience was one season as a VHLM GM at that point, and I made some short-sighted trades along the way, but my end goal was always just to bring Vasty back to a level of respectability around the league. der meister 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollarAndADream 3,356 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 My favourite memory at the moment has to be the Toronto 3peat. Winning 3 cups in a row and being part of a team with guys like Molholt, Stevo, CowboyInAmerica, etc etc etc was amazing. I never dreamed to help make VHL history with Zach Parechkin, never mind make one of the best two-way forwards ever in the VHL. I believe he is likely going to be my peak player.

CowboyinAmerica 2,705 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 A VHLM sighting! Season 32 was fun - Ottawa had the first three picks, and 7 of the first 11, in the draft. Nobody else really stood a chance... until Brampton and Toast's goalie Smyl had an upset for the ages in the playoffs, leading the way for my European Conference champion Oslo team to win it all. Still my only VHLM championship, and strangely Oslo's most recent championship to date. Corco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 5,009 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Watching my first Player, Phil Gerrard, get drafted. I was on msn messenger and @Sandro @gregreg and @CoachReilly (Assistants and GM of DABEARS group messaged me and wanted to know if I was cool with becoming a Bear. I couldn't believe that three random people on the internet just talked to one another like old friends, and included me and I somehow felt part of it.

Molholt 2,183 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I drafted Zach Parechkin, which was one of the first steps of starting the league's only three-peat, that I GM'd. DollarAndADream and CowboyinAmerica 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOOM 8,401 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Besides getting to know some great guys(right back at you @der meister ) , another of my favorite memories is listening to the clusterfuck podcast. Jesus christ, that was long. It was also when I started doing GFX that I considered funny, mainly in response to podcasts. They typically were not. OK, I thought this one was actually amusing.... der meister 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnDaddy 323 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Being drafted fourth overall to Davos was a huge testament to myself and how I was perceived in this league. Then I went inactive like a month later and Victor hates me. :X Corco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quik 4,113 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Not going in any kind of order with my memories lol I remember when I signed in Calgary with Bailey for the S19 season. It was kinda weird, since I had never gone to FA before with any of my players, and then the team loaded up with signing the 3 biggest names in FA with me, Suave and Dawson. It was also weird because I had actually been hoping to make the switch back to forward for one final season before pretty much going inactive. @Knight nixed that idea, but I guess it worked out for the best. Bailey had his best season as a D-man, picking up a couple of individual awards, and the team pretty much sleepwalked through the playoffs en route to a Finals sweep. That was a great season, with a bunch of great members including @JardyB10 @Victor and @Zero. That was probably one of my most fun seasons in the league!
