Make a case for a player or user of your choice to win an award or multiple awards. Is it a clear case or do you think it would be a pretty close vote for the awards committee. Or is your case more out of left field and you hope that the awards team will see this in time to read the stats as they should be?

Quote:12. Written, 50 to 200+ words. Hall of My Own
The Hall of Fame is reserved for only the best, which means many are left outside. So now we need something for the rest of us, what would the other hall be called and how would people be selected for it? Would you let people be members of both Halls?

In the Simulation Hockey League (SHL), the Hall of Fame is reserved for the elite, but there’s room for recognition beyond just the best of the best. Enter the "Hall of Very Good," a place to celebrate the contributions of players, staff, and community members who may not have the stats or accolades for the Hall of Fame but have made a significant impact on the league. Selection for the Hall of Very Good would be based on a combination of dedication, community involvement, and overall contribution to the league’s success. Nominees could include long-serving players with consistent performance, active community members who foster a positive environment, and staff who go above and beyond in their roles. People could indeed be members of both the Hall of Fame and the Hall of Very Good. The Hall of Fame would continue to celebrate outstanding athletic achievements and career stats, while the Hall of Very Good would recognize the heart and soul of the SHL—the people who keep it thriving through their passion and commitment. By establishing the Hall of Very Good, the SHL would ensure that everyone who plays a vital role in the league, whether on the ice or behind the scenes, gets the recognition they deserve. This inclusive approach would celebrate the diverse contributions that make the SHL a vibrant and welcoming community.
