The first time around, getting drafted by Halifax and then New England, I made a lot of great friends that I still talk to today. I would even say that I made a lot of good friends the second go around getting drafted by Anchorage and then Los Angeles. I knew most of Los Angeles when I was drafted there since I finished my first career there. A lot of these friends are no longer active in the SHL, so we keep up talking about sports, life events, and video games. The SHL is as great as any place for meeting folks from different parts of the world and connecting with them over this fake hockey and eventually more interests/hobbies. I’m stoked for my friendships to develop, but I really appreciate those from the early days. They seem to endure the test of time and I have too many to list/don’t want to leave anyone important out. I appreciate y’all, that’s the PT.
