One of the unexpected events in my player's career was actually his callup to the SHL. Noah was drafted by Texas in the S49 entry draft after playing one season with St. Louis in the SMJHL. As expected, he played the following season in the SMJHL still with the Scarecrows. It was common for players to play multiple seasons in the SMJHL before getting the call up to the big leagues, and Noah assumed it would be much of the same for his situation. However, Texas was in a bit of a rebuild and actually had a use for Noah's services in the S50 season. This came as a surprise to both Noah and to the Scarecrows, who were poised to make a deep run in the SMJHL with a stacked team. In the end, Noah only played 2 seasons in the SMJHL and wound up playing in the big leagues from there on out. That first season wasn't anything special, but despite being younger than his rookie counterparts, Noah was able to snag a spot on the all-rookie team for his performance that season.
