CENTER - Sergei Karpotsov (S1) - Pretty much the penultimate SHL Skater. Three cups in a four year career, and scored so much they named a trophy after him. The man behind the player was no slouch, either. More silverware than your kitchen drawers and a heart of pure gold.
RIGHT WING - Zach Miller (S6) - Most underrated player in SHL history. Forgotten by most, Miller put up almost a PPG pace in his short career. 327 points in 356 games. There are many players worse off in the Hall than he, and yet he was left out.
LEFT WING - Chris York (S33) - This generation’s premier powerforward. Continuing the long tradition of high flying, high scoring, power skating bruisers.
DEFENSE - Jackson Rogers-Tanaka (S20) - Like I'm gonna leave myself off this list. A top notch two-way defender that started okay and blossomed into monster skater. Unfortunate that his ascension was marked by a defensive renaissance that saw others reach the same, or even higher heights.
DEFENSE - Alonzo Garbanzo (S21) - I had the privilege of playing with 3 other Hall of Fame defenders in Edmonton. Muller, Goody, and Stinson all at some point or another shared the blueline with myself. In our time, there were few equal or better. Garbanzo was one of those. It’s really a shame I never got to line up next to him, too. He’s *the* SHL Defender now, and it was awesome to consider him a rival.
GOALTENDER - Jakub Aittokallio (S13) - My good friend and mentor. Man, those S20s Edmonton teams were fucking stacked with legends now that I’m looking back. Aitto is, in my opinion, the best tender to ever touch the ice. His stats and accomplishments speak for themselves, but something that goes unnoticed is the impact a player has on those around him. I feel like I am who I am now, as a player, thanks to the advice and mentorship I received as a result of my time in Edmonton. It’s nice to think back on those days.
