I need to say sorry for the delay of Number #19. But I had to do some real life things and also my own EHM League as Owner. But now I had my time back and was able to continue this series.


Cody Black - the Start of a Creation History

Cody Black was drafted by the Hamilton Steelhawks with the 4th overall in the Season 26 SHL Rookie Draft. In Season 25 as SMJHL Rookie he was nominated for the Ron Bolt and Jack Cross Trophy as Whalers player and a Season later he was nominated for the Quilha Agante Trophy. But he also was called up for the Season 26 SHL Playoff Finals and won with the Hamilton Steelhawks the Challenge Cup. In Season 27 he was named in the Rookie All Star Team. He won in Season 29 the Turd Ferguson Trophy. In Season 21 he was on the All Star Team and was nominated for the Aidan Richan Trophy. In Season 36 he won his 2nd Challenge Cup but this time with the Texas Renegades. He moved after Season 31 to the Renegades. After Season 38 Cody Black retired from the SHL.

Cody Black his Career Stats

Black played 647 SHL Games and had 350 Points. But he also had 711 Penalty Minutes, 815 Shots, 828 Shot Blocks and 1326 Hits in his career. Cody had 0.54 Points per Game, 1.10 Penalty Minutes per Game, 1.26 Shots per Game, 1.28 Shot Blocks per Game and 2.05 Hits per Game. He was a very strong Two Way Defender.

Liam O’Callaghan - the 2nd Gen Defender

Liam was drafted by the Seattle Riot in the Season 39 SHL Draft with the 18th overall. In Season 40 he won the Jesster Trophy and also made the SHL Rookie All Star Team. After Season 43 his first move came up and he decided to go with the Texas Renegades. As Renegades Player he was in his prime and in Season 44 he was nominated for the Aidan Richan Trophy. But he also was nominated for the Scott Stevens Trophy and was named in the All Star Team. A Season later he was again nominated for the Scott Stevens Trophy and also named in the All Star Team. After Season 49 Liam moved to the Winnipeg Jets but only for two Seasons. After Season 51 he moved to the Chicago Syndicate and again two seasons later to the Tampa Bay Barracuda, the former Seattle Riot Team. Finally he also left Tampa after two seasons to move to the San Francisco Pride for Season 56 & 57. It looks like that he had a very big interest after his Texas Renegades tenure to go to different Locker Rooms for two seasons in a row and see some new things. After Season 57 Liam O’Callaghan called a career and left the SHL.

Liam O’Callaghan and his Numbers

O’Callaghan played in 916 SHL Games and had 495 Points. But he also brought up 518 Penalty Minutes, 1517 Shots, 1692 Shot Blocks and 924 Hits in his career. That brings us to 0.54 Points per Game, 0.57 Penalty Minutes per Game, 1.66 Shots per Game, 1.85 Shot Blocks per Game and 1.01 Hits per Game in his career. As a Top Two Way Defender with Defensive upside he was very dangerous and had also a very good discipline as defender. His best Season was in Season 47 with 47 Points in 50 Games. His best Season with the most Goals was in Season 44 with 14 Goals.


Luca Hunziker - The Nice One

Hunziker was drafted by the Toronto North Stars with the 11th overall Pick in the SHL Season 64 Rookie Draft. Luca won in his 2nd SMJHL season the Four Star Cup with the Newfoundland Berserkers. In Season 67 he was called up from the North Stars and made the Rookie All Star Team. After Season 68 Luca moved to the Edmonton Blizzard and he won with them in Season 73 the Challenge Cup. After Season 75 Luca needed a change and he moved to the Baltimore Platoon. After three Seasons he decided to move on and landed in San Francisco. With the Pride Luca won his 2nd Challenge Cup. His Final season was with the Hamilton Steelhawks after this Cup Win in Season 80. Afterwards he retired from the SHL.

Envy - The Current One

Envy will be in the SHL Rookie Draft Season 83 and is actually a rookie in the SMJHL. He was drafted by the Newfoundland Berserkers with the 15th OVA in the S82 SMJHL Rookie Draft. He is having a very high potential and as center also still a market on the well aged SHL. The Team is 10th in the league but he is over a point per game ratio as a rookie.

Envy his Stats so far in the SMJHL

Envy plays 31 SMJHL Games and has 19 Goals, 15 Assists and 34 Points. He also is at 26 Penalty Minutes, 86 Shots, 11 Blocks and 47 Hits.
