Interestingly enough I think Luke and Aaron were two people that I always looked at. Luke was a huge help when I joined the league and Aaron was always ahead of me TPE-wise. I always tried to compete with Aaron and look at how much he was earning and try to earn more, so I guess there was some motivation there.

1. Well, if you're asking me in terms of the difference since my return in S46 to now, I don't think there's been that much of a shift. Also, I don't really take part in too much forum activity regardless, so I try to stay away from any drama.

That being said, since the beginning of the SHL and my time here from S3-S23 and then coming back in S46, I can honestly say there's been a massive change in the community. I think the current community is much nicer overall. The SHL used to be extremely toxic and full of drama, so I would definitely prefer the current makeup of the league.

2. In the SHL I think the Platoon and the Panthers have great brands. I've always like the two and think they're really well done. In the SMJHL I have a lot of bias but I really love the Whalers. The Kraken is also very nice, but I'll stick with Vancouver.

3. This is tough, probably pretty close between Wasty and Karey, even though Karey doesn't typically make graphics anymore.

Definitely with Coke. However, I typically try to stay away from spiced rum because it's so sweet. My go to is typically Gin and while I do use any of soda, tonic, or 7up, my preferred option would be Gin with soda and a couple of squirts of lime juice.

I *hope* that I can stay in Toronto for the next 5-10 seasons (or as long as ml will keep me) and win at least one cup there. That's all I have planned, no plans yet for a next player.

How was it like staying on the same SHL team for the entirety of your SHL career/being traded to other teams? Would you say this affected your activity and feelings towards the site (i.e. getting traded helped gain more interest or staying in one team made you more invested in the league)?

Also, congrats on 2K!

It was the perfect storyline for my player. I got drafted because Toronto really needed a young goalie to replace good old McFadden as a starter - who wasn't really himself anymore. I knew I would be the team's starter right away and that definitely motivated me to stay active even if there was no competition. It's a much better situation than getting drafted by a team that already has an active starter and backup and you just have to wait until one of them retires. The beginning was pretty tough, because our team's LR was literally dead. For a while it was just ml and myself, then Mika joined and it was still pretty dead. I knew that we were re-building the team starting with Mika and myself. After we've gone through those times, been the absolute joke of the league for several seasons and are now on our way up again with an active LR, I definitely don't want to leave Toronto. Guess why I have a NTC in my contract. Of course you sometimes think how you might do on a good team and have more chances to win awards and cups, but it's not the same. I really like my team, despite all that bad luck.

1) I have noticed that a lot of new users got extremely involved right from the start, especially with test sims and how everything works in the league. When I was new I had no idea about anything and it definitely took me more than a season to understand what was going on. Actually @Otrebor13 should answer this question instead, having been here for so much longer than me.

2) SHL: Before Atlanta it used to be Manhattan for me, but now it's difficult to pick one of the two. I also really like LAP. For the SMJHL it's Newfoundland, no doubt. Maybe I'm biased because I was involved in the creation of the team branding. Also is it a coincidence that both ATL and NL logos were made by Julio?

3) That one is easy: anything made by Wasty.

WOW neither one are gonna say Nokazoa for #3? Rude af

Right now the plan is to fight regression as long as I could, so not sure how long that will take but I'd like to stick it out with Morgan, especially after having success in the recent seasons. As for where I might be during those seasons, the plan is to stay with Hamilton and see it out til I can't. Obviously with new contract tiers being implemented, who knows what the cap situation might look like down the road, but I like where I'm at right now.

Thank you! Personally I don't think moving around affected my activity, the goal was always to be active and earn as much TPE as I could. For me being traded was expected, but free agency was extremely difficult for me. I think it took me a month to really decide what I wanted to do and where I wanted to go. That was difficult and something that I didn't realize would be like that. I'm definitely glad that's over with and I can just enjoy being a player.
