Ahhh, Minnesota, the Land of a Thousand Lakes, the North Star State - what better place to spend your SHL career? You'll have access to the coziest locker room in the league, with a fully cushion-seated film room, state of the art baths, massage tables and sauna - to keep your body and mind in top shape. You'll get to play at the Monarchs' Court, the most luxurious arena experience fans and players alike could ask for - all for a fraction of the cost. Feel like a king, pay like a vassal! The fans are insanely patient. Like, too much so. It's been a rough decade for the team, yet they still show us their support. You can't ask for better fans than that. You'll get to join a young squad that has seen a furious growth spurt in the past few seasons, knocking on the door of the playoffs - even more so with the expansion coming. Guided by the veteran presence of Mika Mayfield, Collin Gibbles, Perry Morgan and Cal Labovitch, you would be surrounded by guts and good-hearted people. Mayfield and Gibbles may even cook for you - trust me, you'll want that to happen. And all of that, and we didn't even mention the amazing landscapes in the state! You truly couldn't ask for a better atmosphere for your athletic career.
