Well, one media isn't enough to be able to afford personal coaching, so here is another. This time we will look at how SHL season is going so far.

Chicago ''Syndicate'' with 38 points in 22 games has the first position in an entire league. Just three losses, all of them on the road. They finished the last regular season as the 8th seed in an entire league. They made it to the second round and lost in seven games against Winnipeg ''Aurora'', which later on lost in the Finals. Chicago has a great start of the season. If they can keep it up, they might fight for a championship once again. Their branding is awesome and I would love to see their logo on that banner before I come up to the big league and help Toronto to win a championship, haha.

Second place - New England ''Wolfpack''. 32 points in 21 games. Not so far they were champions, but have fell down a bit. One day ago they were only 4th seed, but got back up a bit. Last regular season they ended in the same place as they are now. Got to the second round of ''play-offs'', but was a victim of underdogs in a shape of ''Stampede''. 0-4 swept by them and season was over. Did someone drug test Buffalo last season? However, season has just started and they're doing decent. Might compete for a title. They aren't far away from the leaders in any of aspects.

Philadelphia ''Forge'' - 32 points, 22 games, third place in the whole league right now. Just few day ago this was the best scoring team. They finished in the 4th position last regular season. They made it to the semi-finals where they surprisingly lost against Buffalo ''Stampede'' in seven games. Buffalo were humiliating everyone. Buffalo later on surprised again and won that chip as the underdogs. Good start for Philadelphia, but they have to keep it up, so hopes don't disappear.

Montreal ''Patriotes'' with 31 points in 22 games has the 4th position. Nothing has changed for them. They were good last season too and had the same place as now. Good performer in the regular season, but not so good in the ''play-offs''. Got swept in the first round by Buffalo ''Stampede'' too. That was a big shock for the league, but they are back and ready to prove what they are made of.

Edmonton ''Blizzard'' sits in the fifth position with 30 points in 23 games. Last regular season they were one place lower, but made it to the third round of ''play-offs''. Got unlucky and lost 1-4 versus Winnipeg ''Aurora''. Almost got to the Finals. That would have been amazing for them, but they are back and who knows... Maybe this season is the one? This is another example of an amazing branding. I would love to see that cold and blue logo on a banner. Toronto has blue and cold too though, haha.

Winnipeg ''Aurora'' - from multiple Finals appearances and the first position last season to just 6th place. 29 points in 20 games. However, a small run and luck and they are back on the top. Wouldn't count them out, because they are very good. One of the most unluckiest Finals teams though. Hopefully they will get it all done this season, because then I will be called up to SHL and will help Toronto ''North Stars'' to get a chip, haha.

''Aurora'' is still rocking the league though. Their Mikko Rashford is the best scorer this season so far with 16 goals already. Lias Ekholm-Gunnarsson meanwhile is leading assists and total points races with 22 assists and 35 total points. Just an incredible duo, right?

Atlanta ''Inferno'' with 27 points in 20 games are 7th seed in an entire league right now. Mid team last season, same scenario this one (it looks like that right now). Not much to say here. They are fighting hard, but can't keep up with the favourites. Some of those teams are just better in something. Still a decent squad, but I don't see them fighting for a championship this season yet. Doing the same old stuff as last season.

8th seed - Baltimore ''Platoon'' with 26 points in just 19 games. Least played games from any SHL season this far. They have 20 of 24 maxiumum points at home. They are struggling on the road - record is 3-3-1. Still doing great - they can climb higher on the table, but it doesn't look so good right now for them. Good luck though! Two places higher than last season right now.

Texas ''Renegades'' with 24 points in 20 games are the 9th seed of SHL this season. That's already an improvement for them. They were just 13th seed last season. Got swept by Edmonton ''Blizzard'' in the first round of last ''play-offs''. Now they have much better chances this season. From 47.7% gained points to 60%. Not bad. Decent squad doing decent stuff.

Old Hamilton ''Steelhawks'' are the 10th seed at this moment. 23 points in 20 games. Average team in an every single aspect, just like the previous season. Their start of this season is a bit more promising though. They lost in the first round of ''play-offs'' last season. Just in five games their season was over - Philadelphia ''Forge'' was better. Will see how it will go this season.
