1) How did you find us?

I was recruited directly by friends (rrireal and lil).

2) Is the the site easy to navigate as a newcomer?

I think it's okay once you get into it. The only thread I could think of that it took me a long time to re-find was the FAQ--I like that it's under "Getting Started" but I don't know why it doesn't have its own separate shield bc it also answers a lot of good early-days questions that happen between creating a player and getting drafted.

3) Did you have any trouble creating your player?

No, though I got a lot of valuable help and hand-holding from my friends.

4) Did you use the video/written tutorial when creating your player? If yes, did it help?

I used parts of both, and I think both have limitations--the video is packed with information but the speaker talks in a very slow and rambling way to the point where I couldn't make myself sit through it. On the other hand, it also walks you through things step-by-step better than the written section (I personally think), so I went back to it and fast-forwarded when I got stuck or something was unclear.

5) What would you like to do while waiting for the SMJHL Draft?(Example: Prospect Tournament)

As I'm coming in very late to this, I probably won't have a ton of ideas, but from people who missed the draft in the first go-round, it sounds like some more activities for unassigned players might not be amiss. (My smol son got a goal in his first prospect tournament game!! So proud c'

One thing that might be cool would be a big/little system with more direct interaction? So players who have been through at least X number of seasons actually have a particularly designated person to reach out to. There could be incentives for interaction on both sides. I'd like to make more friends who are interested in fleshing out their players' backstory, and have my player have friendships, rivalries, etc with other players. The Rookie Locker Room is cool but I found the number of people to be a little overwhelming and not much of a great meet-and-great.
