TheLastOlympian07 2,388 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Trying to go in chronological order, my next VHL memory would be bouncing around from Amstel to Toronto to Seattle and finally Helsinki in a span of like 5 seasons. I stayed on with Helsinki in Season 6 and being led by t he likes of brooks with Maxim Desny and co we won the first Continental Cup with the Titans. I retired my first player then after wanting to go out on top. So that was fun to be part of a first ever Cup win by a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smarch 2,943 Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 DAY 2 Memory: Alright gonna out myself here, but why not do it now. Another favorite memory of mine is S2-S3 In Calgary. Had a great group of guys, I wasn't really feeling the VHL activity wise, but Slobo would write Media Spots for me to post to get TPE.

Knight 1,219 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 My favourite memory is today. To know this thing is still alive and well is an incredible feeling. The sheer volatility of sim leagues around 2006-2008 meant that if you lasted beyond 6 months you were doing something very well. And here we are 10 years later. People come and people go, but the VHL was so very fortunate to have such a passionate and giving community who kept driving this thing forward - even during the rough stretches. I'd glad people are still deriving enjoyment from the league, makes the effort everyone put in worth it. I'm still a fucking prick, but thought I'd just say something nice for once.

Our activity levels may not be as insanely high as they once were (let's be honest, we're all much older with much less free time now) but at least our morals have come a long way. eaglesfan036 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendrick 4,724 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 When Slobo, Mcleod, Beukeboom, Funk brothers, @tfong, RawEnergy and Van Urho partnered with myself to win the S10 Cup with the Riga Reign. Posting this makes me really miss the Funk bothers as well. Not to mention we had one of the most deadliest blueline groups in VHL history. Not many are left at this site from that S10 squad.

The leagues would fold in a season or two and then you'd recycle shit you had done before into the new leagues. The VHL probably survived it all because we all matured around that time and stopped fucking around with the rules so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The VHL probably survived it all because we all matured around that time and stopped fucking around with the rules so much. It's certainly part of why I think the MSFL_R died, which was probably the other biggest league at the time. People bitched about every little thing, the commissioners (myself included) said "fuck it, I don't care, do your own thing then" because we weren't the most mature either, and everyone doing their own thing was not very beneficial to long-lasting success. I'll take maturity over activity every day of the week, and the VHL's stability was the main reason I wanted to come back here in S31 in the first place.

STZ 5,280 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Day 2 - My Next favorite memory was being named the GM of the VHLM Expansion Team Bratislava Watchmen. I got to choose the name, and basically start the team from scratch. My whole philosophy was to graduate as many alumni to the VHL, and in my first 3 seasons I did so at a really good pace. We also won a number of cups, but I'm most proud of the first gen members I had go to the VHL and then stick it out long term with the league. solas, Kendrick and Da Trifecta 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
