Today I am going to talk about Texas Renegades first time all-star Dirty Boots. Some things get better with age, and Boots is looking like a good representation of that as the veteran defenseman put up one of his best seasons, with a career best 51 points. Boots paced all Renegades defenseman on the offensive side, while also locking down the blue line with 207 blocks and 45 takeaways. Boots is one of the best two-way defenders in the SHL and this season he really showcased his skills on both sides of the ice. Aside from the on-ice play, Boots is a leader in the locker room and if you ask any teammate of his, they will light up while talking about what he means to the team and they would all agree that should also be a part of why he is an all-star. Dirty Boots is extremely popular in Texas, and it is about time he gets the chance to show the rest of the league what makes him such a great player. (175 words)

I am absolutely fine with the current format where each team gets at least one player in the All-Star game. I do think it makes sense that every team gets one, to make sure that fans of those teams have someone to watch for. But, not every team deserves multiple. For the teams who are rebuilding and maybe win a handful of games, those teams quite honestly do not deserve to have multiple players represented. On the flip side, it makes sense that the dominant teams would have multiple all-stars. I do believe it is very important to have representation, but within reason, so the one per team rule works for me. (112 words)
