If we are talking builders probably Leafs, Krever, Spangs, and the guy who saved the league from imminent peril back in like S3 Anton Razov

Dead-Puck Era: (S1 - S5)

Mexico, McBride, Karpotsov, Stevens
HM: McDonald, definitely

Experimental Era: (S5 - S8)

Dar, Mexico (again), McBride, Chisling

Inflation Era: (S9 - S11)

Spezza, Wong, McBride (again), Due
HM: Jesster, McBride being so dominant overshadowed him but he was fantastic in this era too. Great battle

Realism Era Pt. 1: (S12 - S20)

McKeil, Partlow, Due, Aittokallio
HM: Scherbluk, some amazing defenders in this era

52 Game Era: (S21 - S24)

Hall, Ornoprienko, Weekes, Prikulus
HM: Carter O'Callahan and Roy Razin. Great powerforward/two-way forward in New England, and great defender in Manhattan. This was around the time I was paying less SHL attention though, since I was SMJHL GM and I was focusing all my efforts on that league

Realism Era Pt. 2: (S25 - Present)

V. McZerhl, Randleman, Kane, Garbanzo
HM: I guess if I was to name a goalie here I'd go with Hunter Wong? Definitely not the strongest goalie era we've had, but Wong was consistent. Could also name Andersson. Also Bubba Nuck is an HM, him and Garbanzo are a toss up for best defender of this era


ALL TIME:

Mexico, McBride, McKeil, Due (imo)

If we are talking builders probably Leafs, Krever, Spangs, and the guy who saved the league from imminent peril back in like S3 Anton Razov

I'm fuzzy on it since it's also been a while since I heard it. It was about two seasons before I joined (S5). There was a member named Bill (his name was Bill Lochead). And he was a huge hot-head, constantly fighting, just a jerk about everything and had a short fuse. He was generally disliked, but he had a player in like S1 and S2. He got drafted in Season 2 like in the last round by Wisconsin (which have become Seattle).

He decided that the league pissed him off, so he somehow got into the admin cp, deleted Krever, Leafs, and someone elses account (I think McDonald, the simmer), and shut down the forum. Completely wiped it out and there was nothing that the admins could do because they were all deleted. The SHL was gone

But there was another owner of the site, who Bill didn't know about because he was inactive. He somehow figures out that this has happened and comes back and restarts the forum and re-instates Leafs, Krever, and McDonald as members. It was amazing and now the league has gone on for 40 seasons lol.

So we named the playoff MVP award the Anton Razov Trophy because it's for the player deemed most clutch (best in the playoffs) since he was fucking clutch af

There is also the story about how the first season of the NWJHL (SMJHL) was a total sham and should be scratched from the record books  :lol:

Gotta put Partlow on it. Guy was dominant in the regular season and playoffs and the number of times he was nominated for best defender is just unreal.
