Written Option 2: Many players teased with the championship during their career. For some it can be good regular season and good playoffs seeding, maybe you even won the series or made it all the way to the finals. Those who are most lucky actually get to taste the championship, but there is always the next season. You know you are getting close (or already got there) and the expectation is that you’ll keep improving until you win it all. But then there is a setback.

What has been the worst drop from the top your player has experienced? When did the we got this turn into it’s so over? And how did they get back on the long road to winning? Where they find the mental strenght to keep pushing after a devastating loss? Do they need help of their teammates or are they the one helping? How it makes them stronger together and helps them reach for the top again?
 
Alexandros Mograine’s fall from the top started his right away in the SHL starting in S74. His career started on a high note as he was called up to be apart of CHI final claim to fame and run for the cup before a rebuild. This endeavor started off well even placing 3rd in the conference and what looked to be a good potential playoff run but in a shocking turn of events they were upset by the 5th seed WPG in round one. With this final run being a let down Chicago moved to a rebuild dropping like a rock down the standings and from 3rd seed in conference to 7th for S75. Then again falling to 8th in conference the next season, barely touching the playoffs despite having just coming off a run in which they were favorites only to end up at the bottom of the standings in a blink. The worst part of this fall was losing many of our long-standing players, including losing 1 to start the S74 season, only 4 remain of the 17. There is hope though on that horizon as CHI is rising up the standings, every new player drafted and added is committed to being the best team and the tough seasons just look like stepping stones and we haven’t stopped climbing since that fall.
