Coming into this season, my expectations, for both my own player and my team, were fairly low. Since I'm building my player as a mobile two-way defender, I knew full well that I wouldn't stand out in the statistical department. I wouldn't get a lot of points, and I wouldn't get a lot of hits or blocked shots.  Pretty much the only stat for which I might have decent results is plus/minus.  Given that the Armada finished last season with only 22 wins, I somewhat dreaded to imagine what this season might look like.

I was quite wrong in my expectations. The Armada finished second overall this season with 39 wins. Though I did not in fact score many points, my plus/minus was in impressive +21, and only one player on the Armada had more ice time.  Being a crucial part of such a successful season was a fantastic way to start my SHL career. It's hard to imagine a better start. I'm so determined to keep improving.
