Post your claim in the milestones thread for tpe earned per stat, and then link that post in your ASW submission. This is done because the person who grades ASW will be a different person than double-checks milestones.

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?

The other hall is the Hall of Name. These are the players where you recognize their name but they aren’t one of the greats. There is probably something notable about them, but it might just be a silly stat or some notable locker room drama that people still talk about 5 years later. Like it wasn’t THAT embarrassing and people really just need to forget about it so we can all move on and have fun with our hockey games.

People are chosen for the Hall of Name by happenstance. Someone says something in a locker room like “Who was so and so” then the old heads come around and say “Oh, he’s the guy that had that drama with that draft pick in S44 of the J”. Once that happens, an angel gets their wings and a player gets inducted into the hall of name on the spot.

Slip McScruff is chasing his ticket to the hall of name by having a few different league records without any real tangible accomplishments in over a sim decade. I think the most games played in league history will be his ticket to the hall of name, but he’s also got a couple franchise records with the Jets / Aurora (assuming they still stand). Once he has the league record in career hits, he’ll have nothing to collect but a paycheck.

13. Written, 50 to 200+ words.

Team Spotlight series brought us some quality graphics and media, one of them being FuriousChicken’s series on draft numbers of each SHL team, highlighting seasons, rounds, positions and teams they made their picks from. All in all there is a lot of cool data to anyone who likes charts. Personally I was most interested to see where each team drafted their prospects. While most teams draft from almost anywhere there are clearly some teams that feed into certain SHL teams, as shown on the last graph of the linked article. Do you think the league is in a healthy place when it comes to pipelines for SHL players or should we aim for even more even spread among teams? Or maybe you would like to see even more players carrying on their careers with teammates from SMJHL?

I think the league has a healthy pipeline from the SMJHL to the SHL. There are only a couple hotspots where an SHL team pulls a lot from one SMJHL team, otherwise it’s fairly spread out. I have stated before that a more realistic minors system would be cool for developing a player. It would be a great experience to play with someone in minors then both be called up at the same time. However, I also think it’s fun that we mix and match. You could have a bitter rivalry, then become teammates and banter about it down the road. We get a little of both without it being too obviously broken for some people. Then again, I haven’t engaged with the SMJHL since about 2018, so it’s probably totally different these days.
