To whom it may concern;

I want to take this opportunity to give my experience with @Gwdjohnsonand @Wearingabear in the Anchorage locker-room as a rookie player and a rookie to this sim experience.

I want to preface this by stating that this was my first season ever doing simulation sports. I came over from the ISFL but I was experiencing my rookie season simultaneously. This being my first season I do not have any favourites - I am still meeting GMs and experiencing new locker-rooms. If I am having a bad experience in a locker-room I have no problem bringing it up to a higher authority or to someone that I feel will take my complaints seriously.

During my rookie season, @Gwdjohnsonand @Wearingabear were nothing but kind and helpful to me. I can honestly say this because I was asking very silly questions but they both never made me feel like I was bothering them. I ask Gabe every other day what I should do with my player and he always helps me. During this past off-season, I was scouted by SHL GMs and most of them asked me how my experience was in Anchorage and how the locker-room was as well. I told each and every one of them that I was extremely lucky to be drafted into Anchorage and that the locker-room was filled with awesome people that were kind and helping. Over this past season, both @Gwdjohnsonand @Wearingabear welcomed me into the locker-room, helped me make friends in there. If it was not for the two of them I do not know if I would be so attached to the SHL. The Anchorage locker-room loves their memes and having fun but I have never seen any personal attacks, hate speech, or malicious trolling. They like to have fun with their locker-room but they also respect boundaries when you state to them your feelings. 

While I am still new to the league, I hope that the SMJHL HO and the owners are open to what I have shared. While as much as I spam that Gabe sucks - the SHL and SMJHL is extremely lucky to have @Gwdjohnsonand @Wearingabear as representatives. 

These are my honest opinions and experience with Anchorage and the locker-room. I was not asked by either @Gwdjohnsonor @Wearingabear to provide this statement - I wanted to share my experience with my fellow peers as I feel like both of them are not getting a fair-shake or representation for the hard work they are putting into the Anchorage team and locker-room.

If anyone from HO or the owners would like to contact me - feel free to reach out to me on the forms or on discord at SeymourSnatches#8493 as I would be more than happy to provide my experience in Anchorage further.

Thank you for taking the time to read my statement,
