+---- Thread: A True SHL Rookie (/showthread.php?tid=54863)
- Winter is Coming - 08-11-2015
When I was drafted by the Buffalo Stampede 3rd overall last week, and made their first ever draft pick in franchise history, I obviously knew there was a strong chance I would be a true rookie, and end up playing in the SHL this upcoming season. It is obviously tough for me, because I am incredibly close with everyone associated with the Scarecrows franchise, but considering I will be spending my career with the Stampede, I owe it to Brandon and my new teammates to gladly abide by the plans they desire for me.
I have the opportunity to perhaps produce on the first line for the Stampede along both Thomaz players, and be a part of the inaugural season for the team. It was very tough for me to affirm my farewells as a player to the aforementioned Scarecrows, but obviously I will still be a highly active alumni and a constant pillar of support for the new members that join the team.
I simply want to publicly thank both Cuffy, and BBP for helping build a great culture and team that I was proud to be the captain of.
I want to also publicly thank all my teammates, because without them my time would be a lot less enjoyable, and any success I have had would not be a reality.
I also want to publicly thanks all the active alumni who made the locker room an enjoyable place to be and always being there if one of us needed some advice.
I am excited to be the first pure SHL rookie in quite some time, and I am ready to pour my heart and soul into the Stampede! I know the season might end up being a difficult one, but I believe a good foundation has been placed for our squad, and expect nothing less but greatness from the team in the future.

I do think he means true rookie as new to the site, drafted high playing his first season on a brand new team, that hasn't been done in a long time. Since maybe Ivo Willems?

Speaking as the other technical first addition to an expansion team, I wish you the best of luck. Our situations are only vaguely similar, but that doesn't change that I think you'll do great and you're the perfect kind of person to be taking this on!
The one true rookie is in the North!
