I would say I have a small advantage. With the Cup Wins in my family of the SHL Past I know sometimes you need to be patience and you need also luck with the roster you are on. So is the roster in the win or rebuild mode. My dad Chris McZehrl Sr. won 2 Challenge Cups and this were also the very first ones of those franchises. My uncle VLAD won 3 cups with three different teams. He also won his first cup a rookie and scored the very last two goals in the playoffs for the dragons in Season 27. For Manhattan in Season 34 and Winnipeg in Season 37 VLAD was the superstar of those teams and helped them to win the cup. With Manhattan they build up the team for the cup run but for Calgary and Winnipeg they were already contenders. my cousin GOD won the cup with Buffalo and this was also the first of the franchise. VLAD also won with Vancouver the Four Star Cup and GOD with St.Louis. They told me a lot about perfect timing and with that many of luck. You can easliy end up on a golden era of a franchise but never win the cup with them. So yeah important is to give always everything you have to help the team so good you can and then you only can wait and look how far you come in the playoffs. In the end my family members told me how nice the feeling is to win those cups. The Lockerrooms exploded and especially on this cup wins after it was the very first of those franchises. But Chris McZehrl Jr. my brother told me also the opposite. Working hard for the dream but Texas was more in a rebuild mode at the beginning and this way took more seasons as expected so in his prime the Renegades came slowly out of the rebuild and his time was nearly up to be on the top level to help the team. He still did help the Renegades so good he can but only as low card player. My brother hope that i can win for him a cup with Texas.
