Also got some vote counts coming in! Like every season, each committee member puts their top 3 players for each award on a ballot in order, and we use a positional voting system where a 1st place vote is worth 5 points, 2nd is worth 3, and 3rd is worth 1. So if I write "Player: 17 points (2/1/4)" would mean that Player got two first place votes (5x2), one second place vote (3x1), and four third place votes (1x4) for a total of 17 points.

And here's what BadWolf had to say about her Armia nominees:
Quote:The SMJHL is not only the starting League for all newcomers, but one to showcase the talent available from every user. However, some of these individuals shine more than others, all with the same shared theme: their commitment and dedication to their teams, and to the process. These users, who did their best to give their team a fighting chance, went above and beyond the expectations given to them, and all deserve some metal. Listed below are the nominees for the awards:
@"High Stick King”
@"RashfordU”
@"mer”
@”High Stick King”
His GM, Ragnar, had high praise, saying that “High Stick King has been a vital part of both the Anchorage Armada locker room as well as the SHL in general. His activity and conversation in the locker room has been great and his media pieces on the forums have been something you’d normally see out of someone who has been here for years. We are lucky to call him our captain and I am excited to see what he can do in the future.”
@"RashfordU”
Hamlet, the Newfoundland GM was ecstatic when he said “Rashford stood out immediately as a 1st overall talent as a newcomer in a reddit draft. He still exceeded our sky high expectations, being a stunning addition in every way possible. From being hyped for sims, helping out with postgame scores, providing guidance and leadership to his fellow rookies as well as continuing to push himself and others to get more involved with the team and the league.’
@"mer”
Evok, the GM of QCC says “the first time I spoke with mer was the eve of the smjhl draft. It took only that discussion to know that she would turn into an amazing user in the shl and that I wanted her on my team. She quickly got involved in the team, starting with game screenshots, helping the other players, offering to help scout in the next offseason and recently setting up a game night for the Quebec City Citadelles. I know she's involved in her rookie class discord as well along with producing impressive media and tweeting with the rest of the league. Her development is impressive for a first generation user and I'm glad she's getting noticed as she deserves ahead of the shl draft.”
Although only one can claim the Elias Armia Award, all 3 nominees deserve it in their own right. We hope they can continue to be paragons of dedication to the league, and make others believe that they too can win the silverware if they try hard enough. No matter what happens in the future, whether it be a lustrous career in the SHL, or they decide to stay in the J, we will be excited to watch them continue to grow. And with that, I proudly present the S61 Commissioner’s Award for Excellence to @“mer”!
Congratulations on your success!
Matteo
