1. Calgary making the playoffs in 20 of 21 seasons. 
2. Kelowna winning 3 straight 4 star cup championships (S40-43)
3. Wasty's 31 seasons as the GM of the Panthers.

4. Alonzo Garbanzo's 1738 blocks (438 more then 2nd place) 
5. Irelands 3 straight IIHF gold medals (S42-Present)
6. ToeDragons 2285 TPE (most TPE in league history) 
7. Danny Foster's 7 Turd Fergeson Awards.
8. Thadeus Prince has a 29-4-1 lifetime SHL record in net. 

Explanation: 

It's hard to argue against the pure longevity of Wasty and Calgary's playoff dominance. That doesn't just happen, and it's really impressive to me. I have KEL at two because the SMJHL is so fickle, so winning a Four Star Cup is a total crapshoot. Winning three in a row is just ridiculous. I put Prince's goalie record last because there isn't the longevity, while the record is impressive. I put ToeDragon lower than many, because I think it's due in part to some TPE inflation over time. I don't think it's unheard of that someone could surpass Toe's record in the future.

The Four Star isn't a crap shoot when you trade away draft picks for "active" (players that stalled out at ~350 but will log in to sign a min contract that doesn't count as inactive) players. I'm sorry but people are crediting KEL way too much. I was in that LR for all three cup wins. The first was fun, second had a few actives, and the third was had basically no actives. The KEL discord by the third one was a few alums that talked but maybe one active player.

I don't know what you're talking about. They traded for veteran capped dudes with a year left of eligibility (like me). Just because guys like me and Toner didn't talk a ton in there doesn't mean we weren't active. I don't think that's fair to say at all.
