It really feels like this year has taken years to go by, if that makes sense? With the struggles around the world with this damn pandemic, the SHL became an escape. I returned to the league in April and since then have made so many great connections that it feels like I have been here for years again.

Anyways, tons can happen going into the new year. I feel like at the end of 2021 we are still going to see Hamilton at the top as they continuously find ways to bring in more young talent and another team that I'm keeping my eye on is the Toronto North Stars. Things are looking good for that team after a rough break-up with their top prospect at the time. In my opinion though, trading the talent they did only made them a better team moving ahead. I think over in the West we are going to see some movement with Edmonton and Calgary's quality slowly trailing off. LA looks like a strong team and Seattle has some good pieces too.
