Thanks to everyone for their patience with this announcement, after having almost no applications for HO we ended up with more applications that I've ever seen for any job before which was both nice to see and made our decision a lot more difficult.

That being said, I'm pretty happy with everyone we were able to hire.

Starting with the new IIHF Commissioner, it's someone who has poured his heart and soul into the IIHF for as long as I've known him, <a href='index.php?showuser=1119' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-3'>artermis</a>!

Coming back to the SHL HO for a second term, <a href='index.php?showuser=2015' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-56'>Xmas</a>!

And finally, the newest member of the SHL HO, <a href='index.php?showuser=2572' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-10'>DrunkenTeddy</a>!

I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank <a href='index.php?showuser=2271' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-56'>Avakael</a> for all his hard work the past 3 seasons. He really spearheaded the idea of a potential site upgrade, and for that reason he's going to be sticking around in an advisory capacity until all of that is finalized.
