Dusty Rhodes career, while just getting started is definitely not going the way it was anticipated. Built to be a Bob Probert type player, Rhodes has yet to engage in a fight in his 5 seasons in existence. Definitely not how I envisioned him to be. He's turned out to0 be kind of a defensive specialist at forward, someone who can do a bit of everything but isn't really outstanding at anything. It just goes to show that FHM is a crap simulation program that doesn't in any way emulate a real hockey program. One look at the stats will tell you that, nhl players don't score a goal a game. That being said I guess Rhodes will just keep plugging along and see how his career pans out. Already had a great defenseman and a great goalie so I guess it's only fitting that my forward isn't going to probably shake out to be anything special.

Well we are not at the top of the league as I planned this season so gonna have to blame Jeffie for that. Now that being said, his strategies have worked out pretty well and we do have quite a few players approaching 100 points this season so I guess it is not all bad. I do not think I will demand a trade this season so maybe that is a win? But he better step up the output next season or it may get to fisticuffs.
Also I am still waiting for Luke to get me that 10 x 10 that we talked about. I do not understand why this is so damn hard to do. 10 is an even number and really easy to do math with so I do not think it is that. He says something along the lines of "what about the other players?" but last I checked my bank account does not get better when other players play so I think that is just a bunch of bs.

Well, Lord Farquaads’ development has been consistent. I’ve been earning all of the TPE that I can for the most part, and I’ve maintained my pace of around 5th in the draft class. I don’t know how hhh does it, he’s got quite the lead on me. Anyways, playing style wise, I am not sure I’ll ever really become the type of player to amass large point totals. I am more focused on doing yeoman’s work in front of our own net to protect our goaltender and to force turnovers. Once I force the turnovers, however, I want to be sure that I am able to secure transition and get the puck onto the stick of players that are far more skilled than I, like Lias Ekholm-Gunnarsson and Mikko Rashford. Those two are absolutely lighting it up this year, and I will take all the secondary assists that I can get from their dynamic offense. RIP Dangel. See you on the other side, brother

Quite honestly I have really mixed feelings on the beginning of my player's career. So being a rookie this season I really wanted to compete for the Jesster. In my 8 years in the SHL I have never won nor even competed for a Jesster. This season unfortunately was more of the same. However, in comparison to my other rookie seasons, it has been rather good. With the last sim of the season today, I am currently sitting at 50 points. My first player's rookie year only had 21 points, my second player was 23 points in his rookie season, my third was 7 and my last player was 25. So in his first season, Meowski has effectively doubled the amount of rookie season points that any previous player had gotten. I believe that although their is no Jesster, that this will bode well for his future. He definitely has a long way to go because of his +/- still being at -21 but I believe that it will getter as time goes on. So far so good for the start of his career

There is no avoiding it this time. We have to come to an agreement before the organization will allow me to play more minutes and for you to get paid. They are withholding your pay, right? I watched as the man before me smirked in his seat. Of course they were paying him still, it is not Italy. Before he could speak a word, I opened the oven and brought the pizza I was cooking out. The smell of little curled pepperonis filled the air. We ate the pizza in silence processing the silence and the food. Finally, we came to an agreement. My families recipe was superior in every way, except for presentation. He shared a boxing secret which changed the game for my family's pizza. We shook hands and went our separate ways. The next day he resigns from the organization and took a job for a rival team. Without him around the team, I should finally be able to concentrate on the thing that matters most, hockey.

I would say that Noel has had a pretty satisfying career up until this point. He has worked hard the whole way through to be the best player he can be and has consistently been a top performer in his draft class. While he hasn't won any championships which is the biggest goal of his career, he has had his fair share of personal accomplishments. In his final junior season he set the Colorado Raptors assist record in a season (at that time) with 54, which has since been broken. He had a solid start to his career with Baltimore, slowly working his way up to about PPG, but unfortunately with Baltimore being such a deep team he didn't get the opportunity to progress beyond that. He ended up being traded to Winnipeg where his career exploded and Noel put up back to back Ron Mexico nominee seasons. To this point he has been a near career PPG player with 647 points in 659 games. He is on pace to finish as a top 10 all time +/- player as well. He's consistently been a top line caliber player through his career, so hard to complain overall.

Angus Mcfife Career with the Altanta inferno and with the Colorado Raptors went pretty much as well as one could have hoped for and came with a bunch of surprises as well. When I was drafted in colorado by @LordBirdman and @Jumbobone19, I was coming back from 2 "failed players" and I was in the mindset of making angus my first SHL success. I was a bit cold to join colorado at first since I had played for kelowna with my 2 previous players but I quickly turned around and considered the raptors like a perfect hom for me, and I still visit the locker room daily. My junior career was a good one, I played with great players both older and younger than me but the mystical cup eluded us during my 4 years there but we were always competitive. I think that part of my career I was really proud of it because I was max earning, I was seen as a valuable member of the organisation and I think I played a positive part in the integration of players succeeding me. Once in the majors, @hotdoge and @goldenglutes really did everything and their best to build a competitive atlanta but also a fun locker room. I think our locker room is a bit unique as in most of us don't take anything too seriously, maybe sometimes we are not serious enough, but fun is always part of the locker room. I was placed in a position to succeed at the best of my abilities, and I still am. I am about to have a career year on the individual level despite hitting the harshest steps of regression. I truly believe the management is doing a great job on the hockey operations. We are supposed to be headed for a retool/rebuild soon but I don't really see it happen yet as our rookies are progressing fast to replace our older guys. As an offensive defenseman, I always wanted to reach the objective of 50 points per season, a somewhat magical number, and most of the time it happened so I am pretty proud of this. On terms of max earning, I only missed my first TPE opportunity last week, I am quite proud of that, Iwished i didn't miss it but in 2 years its not that bad to miss one.

All things considered, Viktor Hargreeves has had a very productive junior career. He isn't the flashiest, nor has he really been on any of the leader boards, but he has played at a very steady and solid pace these last few seasons. Now in his last year with the Quebec City Citadelles, Vik is quietly leaving his mark on the team's all-time scoring list. He currently sits in 2nd on the all-time goals scored record, and is one goal away from tying for first, as well as sitting comfortably at 4th all-time in points where he also has the chance to move up to 3rd. All of that and a 4 Star Cup to boot. There's definitely nothing to complain about, but he definitely would have loved to make a huge splash in the league and go on an MVP tear. Maybe his only real regret would be losing his winger Tony Hawkey, with whom he had pretty insane chemistry, but that was entirely beyond his control. But no, there's literally nothing Vik would have done differently. He was and is exactly where he needed to be to be happy and successful. Code: 192 words

If she's being completely honest, my player, Lea Cranberry really has no complaints with her career so far. She started by being picked up and welcomed by a wonderful team at QCC, where she started seeing playtime almost immediately! She then went on to win the SMJHL finals in her first season, even scoring a couple goals throughout the playoffs! Obviously there is miles of room for her to improve and she's determined to do so! Due to mental health struggles she hasn't quite been able to get in the practice and training she wished she could during the off season and even throughout this current season, however she feels more and more ready to get back in the grind again. She knows that her team has her back through it all and she's so grateful for her young career so far. Being drafted to the Syndicate has filled her with even more drive and motivation to get the ball rolling again with hopes of moving up to the big leagues in the near future. Overall a good career so far! meow :3

When Atticus Hale came into the SMJHL as an early second rounder, he did so without much fanfare. One thing is for sure though; he believed in himself and believed that he could be one of the top players in the league if he put in the effort he was known for. A few seasons later, Atticus went into the SHL draft with a lot of hype. Coming out of a solid final season with the Carolina Kraken, one in which he was named captain of the team, the sky was the limit. He ended up being drafted second overall by the New Orleans Specters. As far as development is concerned, Atticus Hale couldn’t have turned out a whole lot better than he did. There may have been a couple missed opportunities, but for the most part, his development has gone as expected. Though the stats might not speak as loudly as his capabilities, there’s no denying his contributions to the team and the locker room. In S68, he was named as the fifth captain in the history of the New Orleans Specters. In S69, he had a career year with 46 goals, 42 assists, and 88 points. He followed that up with an 80 point effort in his first season of regression. If he can continue to put up 80+ points for the next few seasons, nobody will be complaining…except maybe for himself.

James Ward-Prowse has had a pretty decent first two seasons thus far. Although he doesn't have the best plus/minus score, he still gets buckets. Riding on the coat tails of the dynamic duo @NYR73 and @Ruggsy in Colorado, Ward-Prowse has been able to silently scoop up 69 (nice) points as a second line player. Although next season he will be losing some of his usual cohort that has helped him achieve such an impressive sophomore point total, Ward-Prowse is excited to see some first line TOI (that stands for Time On Ice). The Raptors have been very, very generous with Ward-Prowse thus far in his career, and he doesn't see that changing as he reaches the next capped total for 3rd year J league players. Thanks to the unparalleled leadership and tactical advantages of the Colorado GMs, Ward-Prowse fully expects to bring home at least one cup in his time in the junior league.

Overall Sven is happy with his career. He’s had grand plans about what he wants to do and who he wants to beat, but his first season in the SHL has already been much better than his fathers. He hopes that one day he will be able to compete with the records that his father set, however with the changes the league has had since his fathers time it mnighe not be something that he will ever be able to do. However his father spent a lot of time being a mediocre player and Sven believes he has much better things to provide. He is stronger and smarter than his father and will be able to surpass him. While he also didn’t really play for the team that drafted him, he is part of a young core and is ready to go with them all the way to the end. Sven is happy and excited to see where his career can go and is ready to take the league by storm Turd Ferguson
