Strap in boys, this is going to be a huge one.


I'd work way harder with permissions and channels. Having a lot of channels in a discord is not a problem if you manage it correctly. There for the first action would be to build user group, and a lot of them.


Admins: The admins would handle server functionality such as managing groups and creating channels where needed

Moderators: Serves to make sure rules are followed, access to all channels

SMJHL GM's: This role would mainly be used to give the current GM's access to the the meet the GM's channel for the rookie class before draft

SHL GM's: This role would mainly be used to give the current GM's access to the the meet the GM's channel for the upcoming rookie class

SMJHL HO: Gives access to make announcements in the HO Channel

SHL HO: Gives access to make announcements in the HO Channel

Updaters/Graders/..: Gives access to make posts in the Job Postings and Announcements channel

Meet the SMJHL GM's channel: This channels purpose would serve to get members with a new play to be able to interact with the current GM's of the SMJHL teams. The access to this channel would be (Admin/Moderators/SMHJL'GM's/Current Draft Class). Once the Draft is over the channel is purged of all messages and the draft class is removed from access, the next draft class would get access after trade deadline. Potential issues would be FA's as they would have to get in touch with GM's in another way

Meet the SHL GM's channel: This channels purpose would serve to get rookies to be able to interact with the current GM's of the SMJHL teams. The access to this channel would be (Admin/Moderators/SHL'GM's/Current Draft Class). Once the Draft is over the channel is purged of all messages and the draft class is removed from access. After the draft is over the next rookie class is added.

Mentors: The current rookie mentors, serves the same purpose as previously

S1 - Class Member -> SXX - Class Member: These would serve as identifiers of which classes you're players have belonged to and give you access to the proper channels.

SXX - Class Channel: Each class would get their unique channel that would only be visible to them, this would serve the purpose of keeping in touch with your draft class. Access would be  (Admins/Moderators/Mentors/SXX - Class Members where Mentors would be phases out of access after X seasons)

IIHF/WJC Channels: These channels would serve to push info regarding these events, not the management of them.

Head Office Announcements Channel: This channel would be split between SMJHL and SHL and would serve to make announcements to the league and only that.

Job Postings Channel: For new jobs that needs to be filled.



As for the discords that exists currently for admin tasks such as HO, IIHF, Updaters etc. nothing would change, the purpose here is not to integrate everything into one discord, the purpose is to make the official discord take care of the season to season stuff (draft classes and such) and a one way stop to find all the members of the site.

Locker rooms for each team's should IMO still be separate discords to allow the teams to build their own personalized space with the culture they want, be it SMJHL, SHL or IIHF.
