It's tough to pick a favourite memory because I feel like I've been here so long (just about 4 years, so not even half the life of the site) and had the chance to form a lot of memories. When I boil it all down though, I'm left with two significant moments that I just can't choose between.
First, there's the S33 Montreal Militia Four Star Cup run. It was my 4th season on the site, and my 2nd as the co-GM of the Militia. Being hired for the job was quite memorable, and I'll always have love for @Copenhagen for giving me that opportunity. My player had moved on to the SHL already, but it didn't take away from enjoying the championship. We had a really fun group of users in the LR, and even though in hindsight the roster doesn't look that strong we were a close group. I remember we went down 2-0 to our rivals in Detroit, and before game 3 we decided to make two changes: Carrick Murray in goal for Thaddeus Prince, and Kickstart My Heart blasting in the LR before every game. From there we took a 4-3 series win over the Falcons, marched on to Halifax to knock off the Laurifier Trophy winners 4-1, before a showdown with the two-time defending Champions, the Kelowna Knights. Second, there's the day I got the job as head GM of Portland. I'd never, and still haven't, received as many private messages at once as I did that day. Becoming an SHL GM was my ambition when I joined the site, and the dream came true in S36. It's a very self-centred memory, because I'm mostly fond of how many nice messages I got from users, some of whom I hadn't even established a proper relationship with prior to. There's no sim success tied to this memory, not even really any other users I share the memory with, but I can't describe how happy I was coming home to an ton of discord notifications and forum tags. Some honourable mentions for fond memories: - The day Tomen came back! (Who didn't miss this guy?) - The S43 draft (So many draft picks) - S52 Challenge Cup playoffs (Pride runners-up) - S35 Challenge Cup playoffs (North Stars break the curse) |
