It has been many many years since I joined the SHL back in S11. It still surprises me that I’m still sticking around at times. Most of my favourite memories probably come from early on in my career with my first player Shawn Velevra. My first really great memory is probably winning the Four Star Cup with the Kelowna Knights in S11. I had some great GMs in Kelowna in Fever and Taron. I believe the team decided to trade off some of their big players and in typical STHS fashion we got hot and managed to win. Was a pretty great first season in the league! After that I went on to my first SHL season with the West Kendall Platoon and won the Rookie of the Year award, was great to win a big league award so early in my career! Shortly after that I got the chance to GM the Los Angeles Panthers with Taron, during my time we did a pretty good job of rebuilding a team with a bare cupboard which ultimately led to the Panthers winning the cup in S17. The first Championship is always sweet! After that I went around the league a bit and had some great times and bad times in Texas, got to play with JNH in Toronto, and finished off my career in Edmonton with Teztify. Velevra was ultimately inducted into the Hall of Fame which was the last great memory of a great first player in the SHL.
