Those three digits I had written on the inside of my pads this season before the season started. It was going to happen this season, I knew it.

SHL goalie legend Michael McFadden had 458 wins in the league and held the record since S48. I had played with him as a SMJHL call-up for a few games* in seasons 47 and 48 before he retired and I eventually took over as the starter of the Toronto North Stars in season 49. McFadden played 18 seasons in the league, starting in Seattle in S30 when it was still the Seattle Riot, moving to Edmonton in S39 and finally finishing his long career in Toronto, playing a total of 823 games.

I won today's game. My 955th regular season game in the SHL. Unlike McFadden I've played all of them for one team.

Today's game against Hamilton(!) was my 459th regular season win in the SHL. And I truly hope it wasn't my last. I understand the irony here, but scoring 15 goals - wasn't that a bit much? No? Okay Smile

459

Will this record be broken again? I'm pretty sure it will be somewhere in the future. Records are there to be broken. Former Buffalo superstar Elizabeth Doyle came very, very close to breaking McFadden's record ending her career with 457 wins. In a much shorter time, too.

For now I'm just happy to have reached this milestone and I'd like to thank everyone who has helped me along the way. My family, every trainer, coach, manager and - of course - all my teammates throughout the years. After all wins are not like goals or assists for a skater. Wins always come from the team. Toronto forever!

Stars

*currently Asron Bot does not count the wins I've had in S47/48 so for those you need to check the Bojo Box to get to that number, just in case anyone wanted to check.


Open for questions now if there are any.

Ready for grading.

And a 15-4 win against Hamilton is pretty far up there.

Respect for the all the things you accomplished, and the fact that you are not done yet is amazing!
