I was very happy to see that my teammate Prince Marius, aka @karey was given a spot in this season's SMJHL All Star game. I have known Karey for many years on this site and we have shared many locker rooms on the site in that time, so it's great to not only be able to play on the same team as him once more but to be able to witness his player thrive. Marius had a fantastic season with the Falcons, being tied for the second most assists in the league and establishing himself as perhaps the best playmaking winger in the SMJHL this year. It'll be interesting to see who he gets paired on a line with in the All Star Game, because they'll be likely to score a ton of goals with his tape to tape passes coming in. I'm excited to tune in and see how Prince performs, and I believe being selected to this roster is a very fitting end to a great season that he should be really proud of as a player.

I think there's probably much more of a correlation between high TPE and being an All Star player in the SMJHL than there is in the SHL. It seems to me by looking at the rosters that nearly all of the players in the SMJHL ASG are 425 TPE capped players, while there's a greater level of variation in the SHL. Based on the way the TPE scale works, perhaps the very top TPE players in the SHL have less of an actual attribute advantage than the top TPE players in the SMJHL where the difference that 75 TPE can make can be pretty seismic. In the SHL there's a lot of other factors that can come into play to affect performance also. I think I'd probably say as a blanket statement that there's a minimum level of TPE needed to reach All Star performance in the SHL but it's probably a good bit lower than you might guess based on what I've seen in the past, whereas in the SMJHL you're doing very well to be an All Star without a 425 TPE build.
