Since joining the site, contrary to popular belief I have many fond memories of the league. On my first player Quick Mafs, although I wasn't very active in any regards of the site, I was still very involved with my team locker rooms, for that I have to give a shoutout to the Detroit Falcons and Buffalo Stampede . I'm unsure if I ever even capped during my time in the SMJHL, however thanks to @Waters & @Wozy I was given the chance to be a part of a Four Star cup winning team which was a pretty special experience even though I wasn't super active. I'd be lying if I said I remember really anyone else from that team... but again I honestly wasn't all that active, even in the discord (I know a surprise for me, not even being sarcastic for those who don't know me). This all changed when I was drafted to Buffalo. Although I still wasn't super active on the site I was very involved in the discord and the locker room and have made some great friends along the way. I'd like to thank @WannabeFinn for giving me the chance. Although Mafs was by no means a star player, I really enjoyed my time in the locker room and made what was really my first core group of friends within the league, for that I thank you WBF! Some Buffabros I'd like to give a shoutout too are @Zombiewolf @ThatDamnWalrus @kit @FourFour @karey @Tomen @JSS @Mayuu @teztify and although I'm now only in the alumni channel(s) some of the newer] Buffabros have also been great friends to me, such as @ByrdeMan @Baelor Swift @jfisherr @grok and many more. I'm a buffabro forever.

Now we go to my current player SLATT Potts, where I've been... well a lot more active to say the least and have loved every moment with Potts. From initially intending to sign with Lethbridge as a trade deadline signee, but the deadline had passed so @JNH promised to draft me, and then lived up to the promise by drafting me way to high at 5th overall (luckily it's paying off?) and on top of that, making what is again probably my best core group of friends I've made on the site since my Buffabros. To then having the honor of being named captain this season, all of it has been amazing. With that being said, first and foremost I'd like to thank @JNH and @SDCore as you guys have not only been great GM's but also great friends. Too all my zerkerbros @Smalinowski7 @NeonLime @Nhamlet @Clean Andrei Kostitsyn @Patty @thevoicelesscreator @Justice @RedArrow12c @Snussu @Tylar @leafsftw1967 @Steve @Toast @bbp @SpontaneousCombustion @Wally and the alumni who are still great locker room presences @KlusteR and @Carpy48 and everyone else who ever pops in, you guys are amazing and I love you all

To my SHL team the Texas Renegades, you guys have also been amazing as you've also allowed for me to create some friendships that wouldn't have existed had I not been traded. Starting with my boy @dankoa you took a chance on me without us ever really talking before some brief scouting, I appreciate you big time brother. @RedCapeDiver @Jearim @Aephino @leviadan @JumpierPegasus (ffs you would change your name JP) @puolivalmiste @ProjectSaint @BrewskyBoy @thiefofcheese @Leoben and all the other Renes players and prospects, I can't speak for all of us (prospects) but I personally can't wait to come up and ball out with you boys and help bring us to the promise land. To the best prospect pool in the league

I'm gonna stop it there as it's already been to long, but to anyone who I missed I love you all <3
