(ie 1,3,6+, etc): I work from home so I have several hours I can dedicate to sim leagues every day. Is water wet?: Yes, unless it's dry. What made you join the SHL? Was intrigued by the thought of a completely user-run hockey league where every position(player and managerial) was controlled by a real person. If you could travel back to any point in time, what would it be and why?: Probably my younger years during summer. Before I had any adult responsibilities. If you had to give a 30 minute lecture from memory what topic would you choose?: I did a 45min work presentation on accessibility not too long ago so I probably still have most of that memorized. Waffles or pancakes?: Swedish waffles. If a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound?: Depends on the size of the tree and whether it falls on hard ground or soft moss. In honor of your team’s Pride Night, you’re being asked to wear a pride-themed warmup jersey to be auctioned off for the benefit of a local LGBTQ+ youth charity. How do you respond? I'll happily wear it. Any hobbies you've been into lately?: Woodworking. Just got a fancy new workbench! What is the best book you have read and why? (Comics included): Ender's Game. Not sure if it's the very best book, but it's the one that always comes to mind when questions like this come up. So it must've made an impression on me. What do you consider the most important part of a fun league experience?: Community activity and interaction. What's your favorite pokemon? Why?: Charmander, always. Pokemon Red was my very first experience with Pokemon, and of course young me had to go with fire type because it was the coolest. What video games do you play?: Many different genres. Right now it's Baldurs Gate 3, Satisfactory, Rocket League, and Jedi Survivor.

(ie 1,3,6+, etc): I work from home so I am generally online most days during work Is water wet?: Water is not wet because wetness arises from the interaction between a liquid and a solid surface. In other words, wetness is a property that occurs when water or another liquid comes into contact with a solid object. What made you join the SHL? Loved the NHL at the time - was easily my #1 sport - after what has happened with the Blackhawks and playoff officiating the last few seasons its falled back a bit to likely #3 behind baseball/ Formula 1. But I do remain a fan. If you could travel back to any point in time, what would it be and why?: Likely to when I was younger and had money to burn (early 20's) and instead of burning it investing it into companies I knew would get bigger today. If you had to give a 30 minute lecture from memory what topic would you choose?: The housing crisis and global warming and how to help resolve it. Waffles or pancakes?: Belgian waffles - crispy If a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound?: To the surrounding area yes - but as far as I am concerned living in the suburbs - nope In honor of your team’s Pride Night, you’re being asked to wear a pride-themed warmup jersey to be auctioned off for the benefit of a local LGBTQ+ youth charity. How do you respond? As long as I knew 100% of the proceeds were going to some reputable agency - not used for profit like everyone seems to do now a days. I am not wearing a Jersey for a close to billion dollar team for worth (most teams) and having 50% go back to the owner. As long as it was I would Match the amount 1 for 1. Or if the amount too low just outright buy it myself at an exuberant rate and then donate it for auction at the organization after again. Any hobbies you've been into lately?: Raising my child mostly - besides sim leagues not a lot else to have time for What is the best book you have read and why?

Why?: Never played it What video games do you play?: Baldurs Gate 3 is about I play now if I have time. Not much time to diversify If you were to choose a breed of dog you would most likely be, what would it be and why?: Labrador retriever - so happy go lucky and smart if you want them to be.

(ie 1,3,6+, etc): A lot like 20+ easily Is water wet?: no What made you join the SHL? I wanted to play a funny hockey sim 7 years ago If you could travel back to any point in time, what would it be and why?: March 2020 so I could buy an assload of cruise line stocks and get rich If you had to give a 30 minute lecture from memory what topic would you choose?: Hockey and/or Hockey Officiating Waffles or pancakes?: Waffles If a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound?: Yes In honor of your team’s Pride Night, you’re being asked to wear a pride-themed warmup jersey to be auctioned off for the benefit of a local LGBTQ+ youth charity.

(ie 1,3,6+, etc): 6+, but I think it's fairly easy to maintain a player in the SHL, especially now with the portal changes. Is water wet?: Funny question for the SMJHL, haha, but no. Water is not wet. Wetness is the state that comes about due to the interaction between the states of liquid and solid. A liquid creates wetness on a solid leaving itself on the solid. What made you join the SHL? Boredom and interest in hockey. I had been doing GM leagues for a few years and found that player leagues were a thing and the concept was a lot more intriguing to me. As someone who enjoys board games over video games for the social interaction aspect. This just seemed like a normal fit for a hobby involving my love of hockey. If you could travel back to any point in time, what would it be and why?: Travelling back in time seems like a really easy way to get a disease or spread diseases to a population group. But if I could assume my presence wouldn't affect said area and I would be an observer only. I think it would probably be early islamic period. The Islamic world birthed some of the greatest minds in history and people that changed the face of the planet. Algebra, Hospitals and advancing medicine, surgery, optics, universities, and really we can talk about coffee too. If you had to give a 30 minute lecture from memory what topic would you choose?: Warhammer 40,000 lore, specifically that about the Imperium of Man, Space Marines, and the Aeldari. Waffles or pancakes?: Pancakes. Nearly every pancake is good and some can be outstanding. Waffles take touch and most likely I just want belgian waffles. If a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound?: Of course. Just because someone isn't there doesn't mean sound waves aren't created. I know this is some big philosophical got you for undergrads. But it's kinda overused. A more interesting question would be something like If you replace all the parts of a boat, is it still the same boat? In honor of your team’s Pride Night, you’re being asked to wear a pride-themed warmup jersey to be auctioned off for the benefit of a local LGBTQ+ youth charity. How do you respond? Wearing it just shows that you support the continued efforts to allow all people to be loved, equal, and accepted. Wearing a pride jersey is a sign of inclusion for all those in the sport. So it would be an honor to wear. Any hobbies you've been into lately?: My ever present mound of warhammer plastic stares me down and tries to put me in a chokehold everyday. But aside from that I've been reading a lot of linguistics books and been trying to also get certifications in information security. But as someone with Adult ADHD, my hobbies are always all over the place. I might be trying to learn how to make espresso next week. Actually, that's a good idea... What is the best book you have read and why? (Comics included): Too many to list. This year I have been branching out into some newer authors in fantasy. I've currently been reading City of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett. I like me some espionage and spy thrillers but this one is set in a fantasy world with some great worldbuilding. Big recommend. What do you consider the most important part of a fun league experience?: Good locker room chemistry and comraderie. Nothing like watching a game and having everyone shouting when someone scores. What's your favorite pokemon? Why?: Oh man, I'm not a big pokemon person. I'm going to say I love Mr. Mime. Dude straight fire. What video games do you play?: Mostly simulation games and strategy. Of course Baldurs Gate 3 right now. But stuff like Rimworld and Crusader Kings 3 are a good example of my gaming. I am much more of a tabletop roleplayer, tabletop wargamer, and board gamer than I am video gamer at this point in my life. (I'm old) If you were to choose a breed of dog you would most likely be, what would it be and why?: Always had boston terriers, always loved boston terriers. So I guess I am a boston terrier at heart. RE: S73 SMJHL Interested Prospects Thread - ShadowFenix - 09-17-2023 Code: Player Name: Shadow Fenix Code: How many hours a week do you usually have free?

Great people, fun hobby, lots of great chat about hockey and videogames. Really nice crossover of interests for me. If you could travel back to any point in time, what would it be and why?: As close to present day as I could make a load of money from someone else's crypto scam without being implicated. If you had to give a 30 minute lecture from memory what topic would you choose?: The NHL is entering the golden era of defensemen right now, and there are like 6 guys in the league who would've been top-3 at any other point in history. Waffles or pancakes?: Waffles in terms of raw power level, but pancakes in terms of ease:flavor ratio. If a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound?: yeah probably, we got stuff that can measure that now In honor of your team’s Pride Night, you’re being asked to wear a pride-themed warmup jersey to be auctioned off for the benefit of a local LGBTQ+ youth charity.

What is the best book you have read and why? (Comics included): Not the best, but my favourite guilty pleasure manga has always been JoJos. What do you consider the most important part of a fun league experience?: Locker room and how activity picks up around the games. The light RP is pretty dope, hard to find it anywhere else but on the ice for real. What's your favorite pokemon? Why?: Umbreon was my first shiny eeveelution back in Pearl, and I rolled that mf as my #1 as long as I could keep transferring him between games. What video games do you play?: Casual Rocket League enjoyer, usually got at least one shooter on rotation, getting into virtual TTRPGs, and any sports game that graces me with a PC launch.
