Tony Pepperoni is likely a lock for the Hall of Fame. In terms of hardware, he has an MVP and a number of all-star teams which is more than most. What really stands out though is his longevity, as Pepperoni is consistently one of Edmonton's top players and is seemingly always manages to score over a point per game. He's over a point per game for his entire career, and if he can keep his scoring up, he'll be able to climb high up the all time points list. Another player who remarkably is a lock is Elizabeth Doyle of the Buffalo Stampede. Despite being a S51 draftee, Doyle has already won almost everything there is to win, with Jesster, Razov, McBride, and Honcho trophies on her resume. The only thing left for her to win is an MVP, and while that will be extremely difficult to pull off as a goalie playing for the Stampede, I won't bet against Doyle somehow winning one in the coming seasons.

Hamilton Steelhawks
F - Joe McKeil
F - Robert Phelps
F - Aaron Wilson
D - Ben Dover
D - Taylor McDavid
G - Jakob Tanner

McKeil and Phelps are two of the greatest offensive players of all time and both have over 900 career points. Wilson, while less of a pure point scorer, is the ultimate support player and will complement those two well. On defense, Ben Dover was a shot-blocking machine while McDavid was a true two-way force. Honestly, I'm not sure if McDavid even player defense for the Steelhawks, but I just wanted to have an all-Hallsy defense pair. In goal, Tanner backstopped the Hawks to multiple cups and is one the best playoff goalies of all time.

Buffalo Stampede
F - Viktor Marius
F - Monkey D. Luffy
F - Hippo Passamus
D - Alexis Metzler
D - Charles Walker
G - Elizabeth Doyle

Incredibly, all the players on the Stampede's all time team played their entire careers in Buffalo, which really highlights the great culture they've built up over the years. Marius and Passamus are two elite power forwards, while Luffy is as pure a goal scorer as there is in today's SHL. On defense, the legendary Metzler-Walker pair is reunited. In goal, Doyle is well on her way to being the best goalie in SHL history.



Buffalo made their move at the trade deadline by acquiring Dick Clapper from the New England Wolfpack. This trade gave them another 2K forward to go head to head against Hamilton's elite forward group of Wilson, Morgan, Scarn and Jones. Unfortunately, Buffalo wasn't able to put up much of a fight in the finals, but without that trade, Buffalo might not have gotten past Toronto or even made the playoffs.
