Hello there, interested prospect! The San Francisco Pride are gearing up for the biggest draft in franchise history, and looking to bring in the core of our future dynasty. We recently kicked off our rebuild with a number of trades to acquire picks, and we're going into the S43 draft with 12 picks at the moment. We're looking for players of all levels of activity, and all positions; on top of that we have the ice time to offer you as soon as you want it. If you're interested at all in coming to San Francisco, or want to know more about what we're all about just answer these questions. We'll be getting back to everyone who fills it out, so if you have any questions just add them in at the bottom

How would you feel about being drafted by the Pride?
Proud. If the pun didn't kick me from the draft list, it seems like it's going to be a huge draft for the team and a bright future ahead, so getting in on the ground floor would be a lot of fun.
We are a discord heavy team. How do you feel about using discord?
That's ideal because I'm a Discord heavy user.
Involved in any other sim leagues? If so, what sim league takes priority?
This is my only sim league and gets my full attention.
How active have you found yourself to be on the SHL so far?
Extremely, I spend a ton of time checking into the site and Discord, reading media, learning more about build strategy etc. Activity level won't be changing going forward either.
Who is your preferred player render? (in case tweedle wants to make u a smexy sig)
Leon Draisaitl
Anyone on the Pride you dislike or are hesitant to play with? (Feel free to PM Grapehead if you don't want to say it in public)
Not at all.
How many seasons would you want to stay in the SMJHL?
I'd like to develop so that my player hits the ground running when he gets called up and I also love my locker room in Detroit and want to win an SMJHL championship, but I also am flexible to my draft team's needs. Three seasons seems like a reasonable number, but I'm open to doing whatever is best for everyone involved.
What frustrates or annoys you about the SHL?
Haven't really come across anything major. Still finding my way to a degree, so I'm sure once I'm better acquainted with the inner workings of the site that I'll come across something frustrating.
Do you have aspirations of becoming an SMJHL or SHL GM someday?
I think management would be really fun. This is my first sim experience so I have a lot of learning to do before that time comes, but it's definitely something I'd be happy to get into moving forward.
What keeps you busy in your every day life? (School, Job, etc)
I work as an accountant, and just graduated from undergrad a couple of months ago. As far as hobbies right now it's this, ball hockey, and gaming.
Which is your favourite of Taylor Swift's music videos?
How would you feel about being drafted by the Pride?
I would feel really good about being drafted by the Pride. Similar to the Scarecrows, a team called Pride is such a unique thing that it would be really cool to be a part of it.
We are a discord heavy team. How do you feel about using discord?
I'm literally always on discord, I have notifications on my phone if I'm out and someone messages in a server I'm in. A discord heavy team is the dream.
Involved in any other sim leagues? If so, what sim league takes priority?
No, I'm not really into any other sport.
How active have you found yourself to be on the SHL so far?
I feel like a scumbag every time I say this, but I think I am probably one of the more active members of my draft class. I have somewhere close to a week logged into the site and I'm having a lot of fun making media pieces and doing sigs.
Who is your preferred player render? (in case tweedle wants to make u a smexy sig)
Nolan Patrick, and it's spelled shmexy.
Anyone on the Pride you dislike or are hesitant to play with? (Feel free to PM Grapehead if you don't want to say it in public)
I dunno I think I get along with most people.
How many seasons would you want to stay in the SMJHL?
I think ideally I would want to stay down for as long as my team's window for winning the cup is open, but I'm willing to stay shorter or longer depending on the team's needs.
What frustrates or annoys you about the SHL? WELL WHEN THE SITE GOES DOWN RANDOMLY FOR AN ENTIRE NIGHT IT'S PRETTY ANNOYING. I think the most annoying part was when you first join and need to learn how to navigate the forums, but that gets a lot easier with time. Another thing is that sometimes things aren't very clear, but the veteran members are happy to help if they can.
Do you have aspirations of becoming an SMJHL or SHL GM someday?
Initially I thought it would be cool to be an SHL gm, but once I found out that you couldn't be drafted as a gm that kinda went out the window. Right now however I'm very interested in becoming an SMJHL gm because the draft down there isn't as important and you directly interact with new members which is such an important part of the site. But that also could be because I'm currently having so much fun playing right now.
What keeps you busy in your every day life? (School, Job, etc)
Later on in the month my school starts back up, and that is obviously only on weekdays, but I also work 3-4 days a week depending on the schedule or if I need to cover for someone. But none of that would inhibit me from at the very least updating my player weekly.

How would you feel about being drafted by the Pride?
I would be quite pleased. I think that with a team that has as many top picks this year as the Pride does, this would be a great opportunity to build a dynasty with a group of players from this class.
We are a discord heavy team. How do you feel about using discord?
I love using discord and actively use it every day.

As many as the team needs me to. I love Colorado but if I'm needed in the SHL sooner rather than later, I am on board with that as well.
What frustrates or annoys you about the SHL?
Some of the stupid petty drama that doesn't actually matter. Not liking people is fine, but some of the ways people express that is unnecessary and hurts the league.

Yeah, I think that would be a fantastic opportunity.

How would you feel about being drafted by the Pride?
