Last season during a game against the Winnipeg Aurora, Ben Jammin was called for a trip against Dirty Boots. The call was argued to be a dive even though Boots is not really known as a diver. Winnipeg fans were furious with the call but The Renegades went up on the powerplay and scored which ended up being the game winning goal. It's something that's been forgotten about but given the Ben Jammin is a failrly well known SHL player who has a large following and social media presence, he started responding to Boots' posts trying to reactivate some beef and that he'd be looking to fight or at least throw some nasty hits next time they face each other.

Given that Boots and Jammin have seen a fair amount of each other over the years as they were members of the same draft class and have been in the same division since they started in the league, they were no strangers to each other. Texas and Chicago had many furious rivalry games against each other while Jammin was there but is now on his second season with the Aurora since Chicago decided to retool their team. Jammin is no different though and continues to be a force on the opposing team, just in a different jersey. 

Boots isn't all that interested in starting beef or keeping up with being bitter over social media so instead Boots just starts sending pictures of Llamas to Jammin. No other comments, no context, just llamas. Some SHL media people tried their best to interpret it and what it meant. Boots was calling Jammin a llama which meant he likes to spit on people? That he was quick to become aggressive to strangers? During a media scrum days later and before the Renegades were facing the Aurora, Boots was asked, what were you trying to say with the llama? No one seems to know the exact answer? Boots replied with "I don't know, I like llamas. They're kind of funny but they're nice to feed at the farm. They make me smile." 

The media was even more confused.
