Before I say anything, congrats to Vancouver. Fighting back from being down 2-0 and 3-2 in the series is no easy task, and you got it done in 7. Hats off to you guys.

This hurts. I mean, holy fucking shit. I remember losing 8-2 in the WJC Gold Medal game with Team USA in the last tourney, and yet this feels worse. But you know what, there's still a lot of positives to take from this season. From the cup-winning team team in S47, our 1C (@JNH ), 1RW (@SpartanGibbles), 2LW (@"Marley"), 3C (@bbjygm), top point-producing d-man (@BWIII), and last, but certainly not least, our captain (@Segi) all went to their SHL teams. That's a big chunk of players. So who fills in the holes? @BDonini, @SDCore, and @Thunfish all step up as the veterans on this team, taking the C and As respectively. @shutdown and @jaimeac did an incredible job as first liners (until a certain Monkey joins in on the fun), I got the opportunity to be an all-situations player, logging PP, PK, and 1st pairing minutes, @Zach was great depth and will likely build on his rookie season next year, and @chetib being the best tendy in the SMJHL would probably be common knowledge if we didn't lose that series. My god what a stud he is. Of course, everyone played their part, and god forbid I alienate the locker room, but shoutout to everyone who had to step it up to compensate with all the people leaving. It's gonna suck seeing even more faces leave before next season starts, and I'll miss you all dearly, but I'm not worried about next season, because if @SpartanGibbles can manage to get this team back in the 4-Star Cup Final, I have faith in him leading us again next season. We'll be back, mark my words.

Oh, and while all this crying sucks, don't let this make you forget the fact that the Militia got swept in the season series against us LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
