Hockey Prompt: On the eve of the sixty forth regular season of the Simulation Hockey League, Mats Marner and the Chicago Syndicate came out and spoke about how they are going to be dedicating this season to Ukraine. If dedicating and playing this season for Ukraine was not enough motivation for the Chicago Syndicate to set their sights on a championship run, there will be extra motivation with both Patric Twist and longtime fan favorite Corey Kennedy announcing earlier in the offseason that this will be their last season with Chicago before retirement. Chicago did not make many moves this offseason either then brining in Justin Keahi. The Chicago Syndicate’s core is getting up there in age and facing harsh regression but that will not deter them from doing everything they can to have another successful season. Some experts believe that Chicago may fall off as one of the top team in the western conference this season but the team will use that assumption as extra motivation to prove to the SHL that they are still a Challenge Cup contender. Overall, it should be an interesting season with the balance of hockey firepower evolving and the landscape of dominant SHL teams beginning to shift.
