I think overall I had a successful first season in the SHL. To start off my career, I wasn’t expecting to be the best player on the team and just wanted to contribute and help my team win games, and I think I was able to do that. Realistically my goal was to put up about 0.5 PPG, and I exceeded that, getting 44 points in 66 games this season.

On top of that, I believe I had a pretty good post season as well. It’s definitely not the post season we would have hoped for as we got eliminated in the second round at the hands of Seattle, but putting up 6 points in 9 games is pretty solid, including scoring 5 goals. The playoffs were tough, and it’s not easy going out there against the best players in the league for a whole series, but I think this was a great stepping stone season for me and I’ll only continue to get better.
