My current player isn't even in the SHL yet, so I'll write about my former player in this case. Overall my player's career was okay, but not outstanding. The one aspect I'm proud of was the longevity and that I played my entire career just for one team. I did win a few awards in the SHL and ended up breaking several league records, but the real success only came in IIHF. So what am I hoping for with my current player? It would be nice to play my entire career with just one team again, but I'm not making plans like this. I also don't think I could break my old records, but just being on a team with nice people is good enough. I'm already repeating one step that I did with my previous player and that's a Toronto rebuild. I think I might've even had two of them last time. Hopefully this time around it'll actually work out better.

There are several teams I'd play to play against and for different reasons. Let's start with our old rivals. In the first round I'd like to beat Hamilton (alternatively Buffalo is a good choice here as well, first one, then the other). Whether you've been around during the old Great Lakes times or not, they're both teams that didn't make it very easy for Toronto in the past and sweeping them would feel so great. Another team I'd like to play for different reasons would be Atlanta. Ever since they joined the league as an expansion team I've liked the team for some reason. Not only because their GM hotdog was one of my old S47 friends, but also because I like their whole branding a lot. After our new Toronto logo refresh it's my probably second favorite in the east. As far as the west goes it can really only be Chicago. A lot of my friends in the league have either played for Chicago or still play for them (or have even GMed there). On top of that they were part of the Great Lakes and some late revenge here would be nice too.

Be the team's starter.
Hopefully don't suck at it.
Maybe win a cup?

I'll start with the last part and word myself backwards through this prompt. Expectations for my player. Well, given the fact that I'm still playing with my 350 TPE SMJHL build at IIHF I can't really expect all that much. Shaggy will be the backup goalie in the tournament for Finland (first time playing with the seniors!) and we'll just hope that Matty can play some decent games and get us through round robin. In the medal rounds, in case we make it that far, my player won't play anyway. Perhaps FHM is nice to us this time and will give Shaggy some random wins too, we'll see. Expectations for Finland in general are the same as the previous years - more medals, hopefully a gold medal again. We're not afraid of anyone and I think we have a strong enough roster to beat any of the other teams. Especially our S62 players should be pretty good and we have many of them.
