The career of Ben Jammin has finally come to an end and while I didn't see much on ice success, the off-ice success I got to experience and develop is way more worth it.

When re-creating as Ben Jammin for the S62 class I wasn't exactly sure what to expect since I was going through the new player experience again by being a rookie and going through the scouting experience (but now I'm more familiar with the league and the processes). With my first player, I basically only talked in the Edmonton LR and never socialized outside of that with other people in the league (except when I had to message the next person in fantasy to make their picks, thank goodness we switched over to using discord for that!). But the S62 class at the time was a blast to be part of and was a big reason as to why I became so more active with Ben Jammin. A lot of us became 2K TPE players in the league and quite a few have gone into HO and GM positions in the league, I hope the next draft class I'm part of is just as fun as the S62 one was!

I created a defensemen this time since I was a forward for my 1st player and wanted to see what life was like on the blueline and now that my career is over, I can safely say that being a forward is more fun compared to being a D-man (if you care about scoring and having high stats). Being a 2K TPE d-man doesn't necessarily have as much impact as being a 2K forward from what I've seen because I played better after regressing from 2K TPE (maybe that has to do with more experience and line chemistry? Who knows FHM 8 is a mystery of a sim engine that my small brain doesn't want to figure out).

To Chicago syndicate

thanks for acquiring me after I was looking to move from MTL since it seems like MTL and me just don't get along (Whenever I was there, all the GM's eventually stepped down). Chicago has and will always be a great LR and I'm glad I was able to be part of it! It was also the first time I got to see what it was like being in a war room and learning more about the management side of things and seeing how there are some... let's say "interesting" individuals out there in the sim league world. :people_hugging: @huggers (if you know you know). When I first joined the LR, I only knew a few people in Chicago but quickly got to know more about everyone and contribute to the LR. I hope the next crop of players will continue enhancing the LR culture there.

To Winnipeg Aurora

thanks for reaching out to me during the S75 off-season during my first time going through free agency. Never had so many people from one team reach out to me to pitch how WPG is so that was a unique pitch idea. Me and Rashford go back to our days in S62 so when WPG reached out they were a spot I was interested in going to. Thank you for letting me join your war room to give my insight on things as well! I hope my corpse body will be of use to you (or if you decide to flip my body for some assets)

Over 3 years have gone into Ben Jammin and I hope he goes off to pursue his passion of being a world famous DJ and headlining festivals all over the world. Hopefully there are some balloons so he can generate cash as well (one of his in-game abilities for Bloons TD 6 is that every time a balloon spawns he gains cash).

That's a wrap for Ben Jammin! I would ping all the people but there's too many to ping and I don't want to edit pings (because it would re-ping if i save it as a draft) but you know who you are! It's been an honour everyone that I have gotten to meet and share a locker room for past few years.

Note: My re-create player is coming for S80! Heard there might be another Le Sserafim member in the league right now too
