Season 12 mode is officially here.

Mikey Diesel is back with Episode 21 of Between The Whistles, and the V.V.H.L has officially turned the page.

Season 11 is in the books, the offseason is moving quickly, and attention has already shifted toward what comes next. Season 12 ownership announcements arrive this Friday, giving the community its first real look at the people and groups who will help shape the next season of V.V.H.L hockey.

This week, Diesel also welcomes One Sad Boi into The Sin Bin for a conversation with one of the familiar faces of the V.V.H.L community.

There’s plenty to get into.

A Week with Mikey Diesel

Another week in the life of Diesel. There’s always a story to tell.

Around the League

Season 12 preparations are underway. Diesel gets into what’s happening around the V.V.H.L as the offseason moves forward and the pieces of the new season begin falling into place.

Mental Health Minute

A few minutes away from hockey, competition and everything else happening around the league to talk about something that matters beyond the game.

THE SIN BIN — ONE SAD BOI

This week, Diesel welcomes One Sad Boi into The Sin Bin for a one-on-one conversation about his time in the V.V.H.L, his experiences in the community, hockey and plenty more.

It’s another chance to get beyond the gamertag and hear from one of the people who has become part of the V.V.H.L story.

Mount Rushmore

Four spots. One topic. Diesel makes his picks and gives the community something else to argue about.

5 FOR ROUGHING

Hockey penalties for real-life aggravation.

You send in the person who has been getting on your last damn nerve, Diesel hears the story, and somebody gets 5 for Roughing.

League Notices

With Season 12 approaching, there’s a lot the community needs to keep up with — important dates, deadlines, announcements and everything else happening around the V.V.H.L.

And this week, there’s a big one:

SEASON 12 OWNERSHIP ANNOUNCEMENTS — THIS FRIDAY.

The names are about to come out. The teams will begin taking shape. And the road to Season 12 is officially underway.

No scripts. No fake takes. No corporate bullshit.

Just real conversations, real stories and the personalities that make the V.V.H.L community what it is.

Between The Whistles — a Front Explosion Production.

EPISODE 20 IS HERE — AND SO IS THE NEW HOME OF THE V.V.H.L.

Twenty episodes of Between The Whistles.

Eleven seasons of the V.V.H.L.

And for Episode 20, Mikey Diesel has the biggest announcement we’ve made on the show yet:

VVHOCKEY.COM IS LIVE.

The V.V.H.L officially has a new home on the web.

What started as a group of people getting together to play Chel has grown into something much bigger — a community with its own history, rivalries, personalities, broadcasts, podcasts, traditions, champions and friendships that go well beyond the virtual ice.

Now that community has a home built for it.

VVHOCKEY.COM represents the next evolution of the V.V.H.L and another major step toward what we’ve always believed this league could become.

Episode 20 celebrates that next chapter while still delivering everything that makes Between The Whistles what it is.

A Week with Mikey Diesel

It wouldn’t be BTW without finding out what the hell happened in Diesel’s world this week.

Around the League

Season 11 keeps rolling, and Diesel gets into the latest games, storylines, conversations and everything else making noise around the V.V.H.L.

Mental Health Minute

For a few minutes, we put the controllers down and the chirps aside. Because as much as we love this game, there are things that matter a hell of a lot more than hockey.

THE SIN BIN — Slam Chunk

The V.V.H.L’s only woman is headed to the box.

Slam Chunk has carved out her own place in this community, but apparently being one of a kind doesn’t come with immunity from Diesel. She’s been called to the Sin Bin, the door is closing, and now we find out what she did to earn the sentence.

Mount Rushmore

Four spots. One topic. And absolutely no chance the entire V.V.H.L agrees with Diesel’s four.

5 FOR ROUGHING

The segment where hockey penalties meet real-life aggravation.

Got a coworker, friend, neighbor, family member or random pain in the ass who deserves five minutes in the box? You send us the story. Diesel hears the case. Then he hands down the sentence.

But Episode 20 is also a chance for us to recognize just how far this show has come.

Twenty episodes of interviews, laughs, chirps, arguments, Mental Health Minutes, Unsung Heroes, Sin Bin sentences, Mount Rushmores and conversations with the people behind the gamertags.

That last part is what matters.

Between The Whistles has always been about the people behind the V.V.H.L.

The game brings us together. The community is what keeps us here.

So whether you’ve been listening since Episode 1, appeared on the show, sent in a question, gotten thrown into the Sin Bin, submitted a 5 for Roughing, shared an episode, or just threw on BTW while going about your day — thank you for being part of the first 20.

And now we start building what comes next.

Between The Whistles — a Front Explosion Production.

Mikey Diesel is back with Episode 19 of Between The Whistles, and this week the gloves are coming off.

We’ve got another week of V.V.H.L hockey to break down, Unsung Heroes getting their flowers, a stop in the Sin Bin, another Mount Rushmore debate, and 5 for Roughing is back for round two.

This week’s episode includes:

A Week with Mikey Diesel
Another week in the life of Diesel. You already know there’s a story to tell.

Around the League
The latest results, storylines, surprises, and everything making noise around the V.V.H.L.

Unsung Heroes of the Week
Recognizing the people doing the little things that make a big difference — even when the stat sheet doesn’t show it.

Mental Health Minute
A few minutes away from the competition and chirps for a conversation about something that matters beyond the game.

THE SIN BIN — Jesse Jen & Then Ogre
Two names. One penalty box. Jesse Jen and Then Ogre find themselves in Diesel’s Sin Bin this week. What did they do to earn it? You’ll have to listen.

Mount Rushmore
Four spots. One topic. And probably four reasons for somebody to tell Diesel he got it wrong.

5 FOR ROUGHING
The penalty box isn’t just for hockey anymore. Diesel takes another listener submission about someone who deserves five minutes for getting on somebody’s last damn nerve and hands down the verdict.

No scripts. No fake takes. No corporate bullshit. Just real conversation, real stories, and the personalities that make the V.V.H.L community what it is.
