| The View Askew Vulgarians are an international street hockey team and one of the Original Four members clubs of the VASHL, along with the Leonardo Reapers, Monroeville Zombies and Puck U.
As of 2023, the Vulgarians are tied with the Bethlehem Buddies, Eden Prairie Mallrats and the Clerks for the most Walter Gretzky Cup championships (2) won of any VASHL franchise. They have the most medals of any VASHL franchise, with eight (8) podium finishes recorded. The creative origins of the team can be traced back to 1993. When Kevin Smith first founded View Askew Productions he asked a close friend, Walter Flanagan, to design a logo for the company. The result was Vulgar – a clown with 5 o’clock shadow in women’s lingerie and platform pumps. The Vulgarians name and hockey jersey was first seen in the 1995 film Mallrats worn by the Fan-Boy Walt character (played by Walter Flanagan) and in the Soul Asylum ‘Can’t Even Tell‘ music video. The 2000 film Vulgar, written and directed by Bryan Johnson, used a version of the clown character as the central protagonist. The Vulgarians are one of the six VASHL franchises that have competed in both the Walter Gretzky Street Hockey Tournament and the September Classic, reinforcing their long-standing presence in league tradition. Their dedication and passion were recognized when they captured the Kevin Smith’s Buddy Christ Memorial Heart Trophy in 2019. Contents |

Team History
The View Askew Vulgarians are one of the founding pillars of the VASHL, standing proudly among the Original Four franchises that helped define the league’s competitive and cultural identity.
The team boasts a bold and striking color scheme—white, scarlet red, and black—paired with imagery inspired by Vulgar the Clown, a character first designed by Walter Flanagan in 1993 as the logo for View Askew Productions. This design reinforces their deep connection to Kevin Smith’s View Askewniverse while fully embracing their unapologetic, in-your-face aesthetic. Their vivid colors, iconic mascot, and fearless approach to edgy jersey design have always made them one of the most distinct and recognizable teams in the VASHL.
Founded as one of the Original Four VASHL teams, the View Askew Vulgarians have remained a dominant force in the league since its inception. When Kevin Smith’s Puck U team entered the 3rd Annual Walter Gretzky Street Hockey Tournament in 2009, they brought the Vulgarians, Monroeville Zombies, and Leonardo Reapers with them, forming the first-ever VASHL division. The Vulgarians quickly established themselves as the strongest team, securing the inaugural VASHL Cup with a dominant performance.
The Vulgarian’s early success continued in 2011, when they became the first-ever two-time VASHL Cup champions, proving their ability to remain at the top even as the league expanded to include teams like the Red State Raiders, LA Mings, View Askew Girls, and Funployees.
In a thrilling semifinal matchup, the Vulgarians faced off against the Hit Somebody! Hitmen (who later became the Eden Prairie Mallrats), but despite their momentum, they fell in a hard-fought 10-round shootout, marking the end of their 2012 campaign. This dramatic moment kicked off a long-standing rivalry between the two teams, setting the stage for years of competition that continues to this day.
The Vulgarians’ original captain, Mike McCutcheon, was a longtime member of Kevin Smith’s View Askew message board, personally hand-picked by Kevin to lead the team. For ten years, Mike guided the franchise with dedication and leadership, shaping its identity as one of the premier teams in VASHL.
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, Darryl Clarke, McCutcheon’s longtime second-in-command as well as the Commissioner of VASHL, took over the helm of the Vulgarians, ensuring the team’s continued presence and competitive legacy in the league.
Keith Boardman has long been the cornerstone of the View Askew Vulgarians, cementing his status as one of VASHL’s all-time greats. Originally slated to play in the 2009 Walter Gretzky Street Hockey Tournament, Boardman was unable to make his debut that year, but when he officially joined the Vulgarians in 2010, he wasted no time in proving his dominance on the rink. His skill, leadership, and relentless competitive drive quickly made him the face of the franchise. In 2013, when VASHL introduced the Most Valuable Player Award, known as “The Mooby”, Boardman became its first-ever recipient, a testament to his impact on the league. Nearly a decade later, in 2022, he once again claimed the prestigious honor, becoming the only player to win the award twice. His legacy as a Vulgarians legend and one of VASHL’s most decorated players continues to shape the league’s history.
Their ability to dominate early, adapt to expansion, and build a lasting tradition of success has made them one of the most respected and celebrated teams in the league. In VASHL, the term “winner” is synonymous with Vulgarian—a name that represents skill, resilience, and championship pedigree.
