QUESTION 1, with a lot of preamble: The SMJHL has a long history but doesn't have any particular way to capture or reward career success. End of year awards help put together a pattern of success and build a resume, but there's nothing chronicling the best players in the history of the league. SMJHL also has a unique build limitation, capping at 350 TPE and forcing the players to make hard build decisions. That said, it's tough to build a body of work when top players get two to four seasons of play and inactivity is rewarded with a fifth season to put up numbers. Considering all this, do you think there's a place for an SMJHL Hall of Fame, independent from the SHL Hall?

QUESTION 2: SHL is expanding to 16 teams. SMJHL just made an expansion to ten teams last season, to accommodate a record draft class. Do you think the two SMJHL expansion teams will survive when the two SHL expansion teams could cause as many as 40 call-ups?

QUESTION 3: Speaking of expansion teams, we've all heard the ceaseless speculation and hot takes on SHL expansion sites, and I'm gonna make you talk about it too. Where wouldn't you put an SHL team?
