While the Winnipeg Jets have been a bit of a surprise, jumping out to first in the Western Conference, they do have some great veteran players alongside some great youngsters with a ton of potential. As for the Hamilton Steelhawks, I did not expect them to be in the playoff hunt, let alone first in the Eastern Conference or the entire SHL. They lost quite a few players in the offseason and it is very surprising to see them atop the standings. Kudos to Hamilton for finding a way to prove a lot of people wrong but let’s wait and see if they can sustain that success for the remainder of the season.
