Id personally like to see the Kyle Wahlgren story! to me he marks one of the most interesting careers ive seen in my time here. Wahlgren was a sought out goalie in the famous S31 draft.. taken 3rd over all by the Portland Admirals Wahlgren and his ferocious TPE rate led the S25 expansion team to league relevance as he produced a 48-36 record in his 1st 3 seasons including a trip to the finals in 35 where Portland fell 1 game short of a challenge cup championship! Walhgren was on fire receiving individual hardware and great notoriety as the league's top netminder at the time. His star status also had him rise through the organization as he took on a player/GM role. 

Wahlgrens competitiveness got the best of him in S36 when he reallocated budget money from already set player contracts to add free agents. An infraction which rocked the SHL!  the scandal was so big that it consumed the S36 season while Portland was made an example with the loss of 3 1st round draft picks as well as the firing of Kyle as the GM and a year-long suspension for Wahlgren on the ice.  Portland never recovered from that incident (eventually being bought out by SFP) and it looked clear that Wahlgrens career had ended in dismay.

A season had passed and the league moved on from that scandal.... and quietly lurking on the free agent list was someone named Olli O'Koivu... the new legally changed name of former Kyle Wahlgren who had apologized for his actions, did his time and now hoping to latch on with any team that would take a chance on him. Most teams passed..... except for Minnesota who took him on as a backup for their hall of fame netminder Robert Andersson.  O'Koivu latched on with the chiefs playing just 6 games in S37.  but in the off-season of 37 Andersson retired.. suddenly moving O'Koivu back into the spotlight!  almost 3 years removed from starting Oli came in and dazzled the SHL going 28-10 in S38, 26-14 in S39, 20-14 in S40 and 24-15 in s41! ... O'Koivu led the Chiefs to back to back challenge Cup finals including a championship ring in S39! O'Koivu on his own terms retired in S40.

The story of Kyle Wahlgren is a true SHL hollywood story..... it had promise, triumph, scandal, hardship, resurrection and a rebirth of promise.
