Team Overview
Located in a remote mountain town called Viremont, Switzerland on the French-Italian border, the Viremont Volt are a team that have been notorious for failure over the fourteen years of its existence. It is the youngest European team in the TCHL and it has always been shrouded in scandal. It never really launched because almost all of the players they picked up to begin with went crazy in one way or another, all of which was covered up by the team but not completely. No one knows if it was because of the remote, rural scenery, the team's collective failure, or something more nefarious, but they have been in rebuild mode for about nine years, never getting out of this point. The team history involves three first round exits in fourteen years of play, and one second round exit the first year of the team's existence, nothing further. The team colors are periwinkle, silver, white, and charcoal gray. Their primary rival are the Stockholm Halos due to some drama that has ensued throughout the various scandals.
Facilities Overview
The compound where the facilities exist is well-buried in the landscape of a local mountain, Mont Baroneau. The residential facilities and the training facilities are at a much higher elevation, while the main arena and the staff buildings are located in the small valley town of Viremont. It is roughly a fifty minute walk up the steep mountain roads to get from town to the facilities, although it is not an extremely lengthy distance. Three angular, charcoal gray, chalet-style buildings house the players, each player getting a private suite with floor-to-ceiling windows, minimalist gray and white interiors, biometric locks, and basic amenities. There are shared kitchens on each floor and lounges with strict noise and guest policies, with top floor reflection rooms with views of the town and the mountains below. It's a two minute walk to the nutritional facility, which is open 24/7 and offers individualized meal plans based on goals and devoid of any cultural comfort. It's a three minute walk to the training facility, which has a biomechanical lab, hyperbaric recovery rooms, isolation pods, a high tech gym, a physical therapy wing with a large swimming pool, a psychological performance suite, and the offices for the trainers, psychologists, and other essential team staff. It also has a private ice rink for training for individual goals, while the team meets below in their competition rink, Stormhold Pavilion, for team practice.
Town Overview
Viremont, known as Verémon, Viremünd, and Veramonte in the respective languages spoken by those surrounding it, is a quiet alpine village, more than an hour's drive to the nearest city in any direction through steep, winding, mountainous terrain. It is a historic village filled with two types of people: the townfolk and the outsiders. The majority of those living in Viremont are farmers, innkeepers, and others profitting off of visiting tourists. They are cold and distant, protective of their sleepy little town and the lore that follows it like a shadow. The other population residing there are individuals with extreme wealth, sent there to conduct research experiments in the laboratories on the outskirts of Viremont. The owner of one of the most famous scientific corporations in Europe is the owner of the Viremont Volt, causing the team to get some backlash from locals. They don't mind the people themselves, more what the team stands for. Some of the attractions in town include an inn attached to a famous local tavern, a historic cathedral, and a historic museum meant to protect the history of the town. There are also a local system of underground caverns and many hiking trails that cross through the area.
