<div align="center">Hello my dear SHL friends!

I'm kinda bored right now and I need money, so I decided to make my SMJHL team ranking before the draft and put some comments after that. Also, teams in tiers are in no particular order, because it is hard to choose the "best" or the "worst team". Many of them are almost in the same category in my eyes.</div>

Tier 1
Knights

Tier 2
:impact:
Firebirds

Tier 3

Tier 4

:force:

<div align="center"> Knights

Kelowna Knights
It's no secret, that I would like to be drafted in Kelowna in 14th March. I played there with my first player for 3 seasons and it's still somewhere in my heart. Great people, great team. Even if I won't get to play with them, I'll always remember the good times in there and will enjoy my time playing against them on ice.

Falcons

Detroit Falcons
One of the worst enemies in my Kelowna years. But times have changed and this team seems more appealing than ever. With my old friend The_Mazais co-GM'ing and two first round pics in this stacked draft, this team will be fun to play in, and most definitely will be cup contenders for next two seasons (assuming that with the new update scale there will be less players who will play in big league instantly after the SHL draft).

:impact: Montreal Something
Montreal was definitely in tier 1. But the recent changes kinda took it down to tier 2. Not that I liked Impact or dislike Militia. It's just the general attitude towards this team in the league will be different, and playing for hated/disliked team is a turn-off for me. Although Montreal has some cool people in LR who I know and I'd like to be in one team with them for at least one season. This team would definitely be a big force on getting the cup if some of the great S27 players would stay for another season.

Prince George Firebirds
I like what I see in Firebirds roster. A lot of quality players from S28 draft class and solid picks in the coming draft. Personally I don't give a crap, but Mac seems to be hated in the league. But I could live with that, if the LR is fun and active.

Whalers

Vancouver Whalers
Another old time enemies. The thing that's appealing to me is this teams history and achievements. Truly a great team. But I still hate it. :lol: Go on and try to change my mind, I wouldn't mind the challenge. Also JHS and Hoovuh look like great guys. Wouldn't mind playing with 701 too.

St. Louis Scarecrows
Nothing much to say about this team. I don't like it too much, but I don't hate it either. It's like this is the most neutral team for me. Wouldn't mind playing here. Also, I played here with my very first player, but I was inactive and that was really long time ago, so it doesn't really matter.

Colorado Mammoths
I don't have any bad feelings for this team, but I'm afraid that they will suck next season. Only three picks in the draft, from which only one could bring a legit player and it's not even in the first round. I could be wrong, but hey, it's only my opinion.

raiders

Halifax Raiders
No hard feelings for this team too. Bottas is a good guy and probably a good GM too, but this team doesn't look any more good after that. Last seasons best players were S26 prospects and probably going to SHL this season. Also there is some cancer in LR that I don't like very much.
</div>

<div align="center">In the end, this ranking only show my personal feelings about the SMJHL teams. GM's can always try to change my opinion, I don't give a crap, but don't be surprised if I'll not jump in joy after a tier 4 team drafts me.

Good luck in the draft everyone! Cheers
