It has been 10 IRL Years since my coworker @spidey invited me to join this weird hockey site he was on.

It was S14 and I was drafted LAST overall to the Kelowna Knights. Mr. Irrelevant, and 57 seasons later, I have definitely lived up to that name.

I will put an article together but post some questions in here to give me some ideas of what to write about. Or talk about, maybe, been a while since I did a podcast.

      S76 SMJHL DRAFT 3RD OVERALL PICK     
        S77 SHL DRAFT 4TH OVERALL PICK         
                     IIHF TEAM NORWAY                      

First of all, congrats Kez! Welcome to the decade club

Secondly, Spidey at no point would I ever risk inviting a coworker to this hellscape. Incredible bravery displayed by you

Thanks for doing it though

Kes, 10 years is a lot of seasons, from S14 on. What are some of your fondest memories and eras of your time here? Which player is your fave?

First of all, congrats Kez! Welcome to the decade club

Secondly, Spidey at no point would I ever risk inviting a coworker to this hellscape. Incredible bravery displayed by you

Thanks for doing it though

Kes, 10 years is a lot of seasons, from S14 on. What are some of your fondest memories and eras of your time here? Which player is your fave?

Lmfao!

I just invited my trainee, we will likely see him in a few days.

It has been 10 IRL Years since my coworker @spidey invited me to join this weird hockey site he was on.

It was S14 and I was drafted LAST overall to the Kelowna Knights. Mr. Irrelevant, and 57 seasons later, I have definitely lived up to that name.

I will put an article together but post some questions in here to give me some ideas of what to write about. Or talk about, maybe, been a while since I did a podcast.

After such a long time, what keeps you coming back? Is it the people? The thrills? The intrigue?

Man what the hell 10years

Congrats on 10 years!


How many more Muerto's?

Also, thanks for being a great friend!

What made you stay for *ten* years? What kept things special here for you?

Ten years is a long time; it's a complete generation gap between when you joined and present day. From someone who has held several high-level positions over that span... In terms of guidance and general mindset, what are some noticeable differences in how the community has grown?

Do you have any regrets from your time here?

Who are some of the newer members you can see really taking the torch and carrying it for ten more years?

Not just for 10 years, but congrats on becoming a true pillar of the community here.

LARGEST PUNISHMENT IN SHL HISTORY

I have so many questions for you and want your opinion, please tag me when its done. Here they are: (They may have already been written by others, I'm just writing them without looking at others responses)

1. Top 5 influential members for good reasons? Top 5 influential/ memorable members for not so good reasons?

2. User who is gone (either inactive and/ or unfortunately deceased) that you miss?

3. Top Dynasty/ Dynasties from each SHL Decade

4. Best run team either from one of the decade dynasties or jut a team that stood out to you?

5. Do you miss the randomness that was SimonT

6. Favorite Simmer from the pre live sim days if you have one

7. What do you think was the darkest time in the SHL during your time

8. Favorite all time commissioner

9. Which update scale do you think actually had the best curve over the last 10 years

10. Any technology or game that people used to play together/ use that you miss? IE chatzy

11. Best All time national team/ strongest dynasty that there has been in IIHF?

12. Out of every high thought of/ sure fire first round pick that was a bust. Is there any of them from the SHL history that are memorable to you or that you have a special story to share of them?

Last Just congratulations on 10 years. I hit 9 years on the 30th so I'm excited to catch up a bit to you and hit 10

Congratulations, old man.

RIP Dangel. See you on the other side, brother

Dusty old bones, full of green dust!

As an elder in the game, do you remember the day you joined? If so, what were you thinking/feeling? Were you overwhelmed in the initial build?

GRADER HERE: I asked Muerto what they would prefer to do. We decided to move the media here, and bump it in SHL media when the article will be written. Looking forward to reading that article!


My won questions: Grogu is known to be a legendary two-way forward. What was your strategy for investing your TPE to become an award-winning player 5 years in a row? What role has your GM assigned you to?
