@Leafs4ever The first head on my mount Rushmore has to go to one of the most widely respected members on the site. Leafs has had an exceptional run on the site he helped found, he's had many successful players and is one of the only (or the only?) original owner still active to this day. He's always helped the league move forward and in doing so became respected by virtually everybody. Leafs was also the first SHL GM to draft me, taking a chance on me with the 3rd overall pick in S11 and helping me grow on the site at a time when I was young and stupid.

@.bojo Between the Bojo box, his new banking system and all the other work Bojo has done, he has been a huge part of making this site a better place and improving the user experience. This is someone who has gone above and beyond to benefit everyone in the SHL community.

@fever95 Fever is another very well respected member from really early on. He's had some legendary players with possibly the most notable one being John McBride who currently has a trophy named after him and is arguably the best SHL goaltender of all time. Fever also gave me my first GMing opportunity here when he hired me to be his co-GM in Kelowna and I'm very grateful for that.

@JNH One of the more underrated "important members" because he was younger during his peak importance to the site but JNH has done it all on the SHL, from being an SMJHL GM to an SHL GM to being the only rookie mentor for a period of time and then finally holding the positions of SMJHL commissioner and SHL commissioner. JNH has dedicated a lot of time and effort to this place and deserves more appreciation than what he's credited for. He's also one of the members I've been closer with during both my periods on this site and one of the main reasons I stuck around when I came back two months ago. Also he made me a hot ass Marner sig so big love to him for that.
