I can honestly say that nearly every single person I have interacted with in this community has been wonderful, welcoming, and helpful. This site and its users have worked hard to try and build a supportive and safe space online to allow people to express themselves creatively through the written media and the graphics options all while policing themselves fairly effectively. There are a ton of people that have been extremely helpful in my year and half of activity here.

First of all I have to thank my fellow members of Hockey Talk Tonight. @sve7en @Faelax @hockeyiscool and @AgentSmith630. You have been great and I feel really been a huge part in transforming portions of this site for the better. Even though Im not nearly as active as all of you, you've always been willing to help me out when I don't understand things on the site or need help making a decision.

After them I want to shout out @hhh81. You were the first person outside of my group of friends I interacted with. I was very nervous to jump into this community and you made me feel very welcomed and helped a ton with getting me involved and getting around the site. That short stint in Colorado before the draft was exactly what I needed to get invested in the SHL.

Next would be @Citizen of Adraa and @CementHands. You guys drafted me into the SMJHL and built one of the best lockerrooms in Maine. My time in Maine was exactly what I needed to make sure I stayed active and invested and you guys were a big part of that.

Then there's @JR95 @Zoone16 @mastersheep and @suavemente. You guys and the rest of the Baltimore organization were an amazing starting point for my time in SHL. The lockerroom was always a really fun and entertaining place to be and I think that going through a big portion of your rebuild with you was a fantastic learning tool that showed me that it's worth investing in an organization and a group you enjoy to find success together, rather than to try and jump teams finding a way to win. While I couldn't stay for the final push due to the expansion draft, I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Baltimore and I want to see all your hard work pay off even if you are a division rival now.

Finally there is @Acsolap @honkerrs and the rest of the Forge family. You guys took a chance on me in the expansion draft and I'm extremely thankful for it. The change of scenary has seen a resurgence and commitment to the SHL. The lockerroom we have in Philly has to be among the best in the league already and it will only get better going forward. I'm extremely excited to be in Philly from day one and to help build the Forge into the powerhouse club we can become.
