PLAYER PROMPT Written Task: It’s a great feeling for me to start the regular season on opening day. I don’t think it’s just great for me; it’s great for everyone in the SHL and Chicago Syndicate. I think it’s a sign to show what we’ve been through up to this point through offseason workouts, training camp and the preseason and is the next step in completing the ultimate and most difficult goal of winning a Challenge Cup. There are a lot of young new faces on the team this season with Stephan Gill, Dave Heinrich, Adelie de Pengu, Melvin Majestik Moose and Pasta the Turtle who are going to be stepping in to create the next generation of Syndicate superstars after Chicago legends like Disisde Dayudie, Martijn Westbroek, and Daniel Smeb retired while SHL leading point scorer and first line forward Guðmundur Kristjánsson left Chicago via free agency. Overall with the western conference getting a lot stronger this season it should make for an exciting season.
