My favourite memory during my SHL career has got to be when the Montreal Militia against all odds made it to the Four Star Cup finals. Way back before the great relocation of the once storied franchise, The Montreal Militia, there was one last hurrah by us in S47. The Militia had not won for a long time before and The Militia played fantastic during the regular season coming 2nd overall in the season. Our team was led by the Swedish junior superstar; Kristoffer Svensson who is sadly inactive now. Our core was rounded out by Marc Hagen, Myself, and James Truong. We also had a bunch of now inactive players who reached peak in their SMJHL careers around this time.

Everything sort of came together. Coming 2nd place gave us the first round bye but our path to the finals was not easy. We went down 2-0 against the Kelowna Knights in the 2nd round but rallied and won 4 straight to push to the 3rd round. We continued the streak winning the first 3 games against the Whalers (who would go on to win the next season) and eventually closing out that series in 6 games. Finally we came to face the first place team in the St Louis Scarecrows. It was a nail biting 7 game series where we won the first game, lost games 2 and 3, then won games 4 and 5. We in the end just couldn’t win that last game. We lost in overtime in game 6 3-2 and lost 3-2 in game 7 on a late game goal by the Scarecrows. One of the closest series I have ever played in. It was disappointing but very fun and everything a simulation league is about.
