Vancouver Jacknives

The Vancouver Jacknives are a fantasy hockey team currently playing in the Rookie Division of the North American Hockey league. The Jacknives were apart of the original 8 teams that made up the league's inaugural season. The Jacknives were originally part of the Rookie division, but after capturing the division title in the 2011-2012 season they were promoted to the Veteran division.

2011-2012 Season
With a more gritty team build than most, the Jacknives had a surprisingly relatively successful inaugural season. Their scoring numbers left something to be desired, but they were carried on the back of Steven Stamkos and their high penalty minutes. They posted a mediocre 11-10 record, but were able to capture the Rookie Division title. Both Vancouver and Marshland posted 11-10 records; however, Vancouver lead the series 2-1 and were able to win the division. They would go on to be eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by Flin Flon. However, their impressive division performance was enough to get them promoted to the Veteran division for the 2013 season.

2013 Season
Vancouver dropped that gritty style they were known for in the 2011-2012 season and went with far more star power. With a lineup backed by Alexander Ovechkin, Anze Kopitar and Niklas Backstrom, the team looked to grow on their previous success. However, poor management led them nowhere. The Jacknives ended up posting a 2-10 record and finishing last in the Veteran division to be relegated back to the Rookie division.

2013-2014 Season
After a disappointing season in which they were relegated, Vancouver looked to bounce back and make their way back into the veteran division. With a roster backed by Sidney Crosby, the team had some success, but barely lost the division title to the Space Invaders. They would go on to win a close playoff race and clinch the last playoff seed, but ultimately lose to the Wesley Crushers in the first round.
