My goals for the league are pretty simple, have a good career and be remembered fondly by the team and fans once I'm gone. I don't look at the juniors as a stepping stone, I want to treat this like it's the only pro hockey level I'm going to get the opportunity to play at.

Of course, the main goal is to reach the SHL, and while I treat the juniors very seriously (as serious as I can get at least) it should all be training and preparing me for the big league. I don't imagine myself having a hall of fame career, but I would love to play as many games as possible on the same team. Last career I got moved around a bunch and while I always approached each new team with optimism, it did always sting because I never like changing teams.

Team success is important to me, not because winning is everything, but I like to be on teams where I feel like the GMs are doing a reasonable job at their player and asset management. Going through stretches of ups and downs is normal, but if the team I'm on is never having any success, it's probably because something isn't being done properly.

Last time around I managed to be a bright spot on a struggling junior team that managed to turn it around, and I while I wouldn't mind that again (being captain is fun) it would be nice to have a lot of people working towards the same goal, rather than just have to feel like there isn't a point to your time in a league or on a team.
