I actually had no idea that the SHL had been around this long. I've only been a part of the league for about a year and a half but it has been most excellent.

I jumped in through a reddit draft and was kind of intimidated at first with everything. I signed up right before the draft but couldn't pay much attention which lead to me going undrafted. I got back to the GMs that had messaged me and luckily got picked up by the Detroit Falcons. Since then it has been just getting better every day.

When I first joined I lived in Korea which left me out of the normal discord hours so I never really jumped in but whenever I did everyone in Detroit was cool. I was in the hospital with pneumonia at one point and just being able to focus on the SHL and do some PT work and I think a champions week kept me sane.

Once I got called up to West Kendall is when I started to be more involved in the discord and tried to be more vocal in the locker room. I have made some really good friends all around the world because of the SHL and for that I am truly grateful.
