Hey everyone,

As I’m sure some of you have already been made aware, longtime user in multiple sim league communities @Emiko passed away at 26 due to complications with cancer, something that she had opened up about on here and on various other forums.

This has been an absolutely heartbreaking thing for many of us in the community, I didn’t personally know Emi very well but I know she meant a lot of things to a lot of people, and after forming a lot of my own very close, personal bonds through this site, its very easy to understand and empathize with how tragic this has been, and how heartbreaking it is for those who were close with her.

Emi has been around the SHL since S44, finding success for the first time in S48 as the long time goalie for the Edmonton Blizzard, and more recently, as a member of the Kelowna Knights as a rookie. She was a member of this community here for over 3 years now and she will be missed and forever loved by a lot of people. As niche as this hobby is, it has allowed us to form a community that is really so connected in our niche, and this loss is one that we can all feel because of that.

PBE has done something similar on their forums, and we’d like use this thread as an opportunity for you all to share some of your favourite memories with Emi. Rest in peace friend, we will never forget you.
