Hello everyone and welcome to the Season Fifty Seven SHL awards ceremony! It gives me great pleasure to host this ceremony to recognize the accomplishments of many players and teams on their incredible seasons. This event truly showcases the great level commitment that members of the SHL have put into their teams and players that has been translated into some great success on the ice.

First I would like to say congratulations to the Challenge Cup champion Chicago Syndicate!! Chicago was dominant this season finishing with the second-best record with one hundred and five points and over fifty wins and were able to take down the defending champions, juggernaut Hamilton Steelhawks.

I also want to quickly congratulate the Hamilton Steelhawks on winning the Presidents trophy for having the best regular season record with one hundred and ten points and also making the SHL Challenge Cup Finals!!
