Written Task: In a minimum of 150 words, select (1) Center, (2) Wingers, (2) Defensemen and (1) Goaltender. Tell us why you selected who you did.
C - Ron Mexico (S1-9) Going with the OG on this one. I think you will be pretty hard pressed to not find Ron Mexico on anyone's list. He has a trophy named after him in which he won not one, twice, or even three times... but FOUR times. The guy was a monster in the early goings of the SHL. W - VLAD McZehrl (S20-29) Are the all caps in the name necessary? No, but they make a statement and that is exactly what VLAD did in the SHL. He was a 5 time 1st team All Star, won the Challenge Cup 3 times, and won a whole truck load of personal trophies to go along with those. Also pretty impressive that he managed to play for 6 teams over his career. W - Chris York (S30-39) Chris York's career is still going strong as one of the more modern All-Stars within the SHL. It's tough to argue with the personal success that he has had over the past few seasons. He's been a first team all star 3 times and has won numerous personal trophies. He is well on his way to getting his name next to the legends of the SHL. D - Chris Partlow (S10-19) Another player who helped define his position in the more formative years of the SHL. Tough to not put a guy in the line up who was a 1st team All Star four times, won the Stevens trophy 3 times, and was nominated another 7 times. D - Alonzo Garbanzo (S20-29) The more modern version of Parlow's success as a defenseman in the SHL. Garbanzo had a very long career and made the 1st team All Star team... get this... NINE TIMES. Garbanzo literally was on the 1st team for practically a decade. Most players consider it pretty lucky to make the All-Star team even once and Garbanzo might as well have bought a house on that property. G - John McBride (S1-9) Another guy who has a trophy named after himself, and it is pretty tough to see why it wouldn't be named after him. He won his own trophy 6 times and was rocking a career save percentage of .915 (which is higher than either of the 2 goalies ahead of him in legacy points). |
