Pick a moment in SHL history to change. It could be something large, an expansion draft, sim engine change, or something smaller, like a trade or team punishment. Change something about this moment in the SHL and explain the impact the difference would make in how the league developed since that moment. (think Butterfly Effect)

If I could pick one moment in SHL history to change it would be when I took over as Minnesota Chiefs GM from Boon is the S10s. I did not really understand what I was getting into and I did not treat it with the respect the position warrants. Minnesota has a solid team at this point but I traded away strong roster players for mid draft picks in a time where the SHL would only have one or two strong rounds in the Entry Draft if it was lucky. If I had not taken this position it's possible that a more reliable member would take on the position and bring in the talent that Minnesota needed to succeed at the time and I wouldn't carry the reputation of being a poor GM. My tenure in Maine has been much more successful than the Minnesota one despite Maine not making the playoffs this time around. I think in the event I do not take that Minnesota role I would be regarded as a semi-successful GM maybe?

Welp, you waited until the last day to grind out your CW and the CC finals are longggggggg over by now. congrats to [TEAM], woo! Reflecting back on the series, who gets your vote for series MVP? Make the case why this player deserves it over any other.

I didn't even get close to waiting for the end yet the Finals are already over. Hamilton wins another Cup and the league rejoices after another exciting Finals that not even the Champions cared about. Woo.

I'd give my MVP nod to Theo Morgan. Not only was he reliable for putting pucks in the back of the net, he was also one of the key parts in generating plays for the Steelhawks. A lot of strong players on Hamilton but I think Theo stands out amongst them all. Texas didn't really have anyone factor in during a sweep and the other weapons Hamilton had did not shine as much.

This is for you folks in multiple sim sports leagues. Pick your player from another league and translate them to the SHL. Which player attributes from your sport would translate to hockey? Design a full player page for them based on the player page of your other league and discuss how they would perform in a season. Would they be godlike? Shitty? You can pull a switcheroo and discuss your SHL player playing in the other sport as well.

I would try to convert Ivan Toastovich to the SHL. Toastovich is a fantastic name and it would be great to see this big guy try to handle himself in the pro hockey league. We have some ridiculous threats in the league like Duncan the Walrus in the SMJHL so I have no doubts that a football player would be able to handle this as well. Toastovich's strengths are in his speed on the field and his stamina, being able to take off with a burst of speed and not drop off that max speed for a huge run off a reception. If he can get that sort of explosive energy into his skates I see him being a threat in the SMJHL for a team that would take him on but I don't think a one-weapon kind of player would find success in the SHL. I can see Toastovich going down in the SMJHL hall of fame but burning out the second he attempts to make the jump to the pros. Definitely no connection to the ISFL there...
