Hello SHL,


After almost a year without Asron bot, the user went inactive. The Dev team set out to remake the discord bot but in house, so that we can maintain it, and so that we don’t lose a bot type like that again. With a couple other setbacks. Devs being busy, or working on other projects. This year we start out on actually implementing it. Today, we can announce our SHL Bot V1.0

@sve7en will be making an image for it, since he won the Charity Bid way too long ago. As well as myself winning the naming of it. I still have to think about it. So right now its just called Premier SHL Bot, with the SHL logo. But those are subject to change.


So whats in the bot / what are the commands. They are now /slash commands, and had a pretty big overhaul from the Asron bot you used to remember. Utilizing the Index API’s, Portal API’s, and a caching system to help with all of that.

So lets go into what each of the commands are. In the bot the /help command also exists for this

---

Basic Commands
/help - Displays all of the commands that you can use on the bot. It also has a button to get all the Abbreviations used by all the teams. Clicking on the button shows you the SHL, SMJHL, IIHF, and WJC abbreviations. Will be important for searching for by team. Also has the invite link to the bot
/store [username] - Links your discord account to any given username. So that when you use /team , /player, etc. The default will be your player, your team, etc

Roadmap / Future work

Some things that we want to do, but wasnt important for the bot to be launched


Adding Gms to the overview in /teams
Having a /history command to get certain history in a given season
Having a /draft command to display the draft record of a given season
Retrieving all time leaders
Brining in Fantasy calculates in the bot so when the index gets updated you guy's get Fantasy Calculations quicker
Having more buttons on commands to make things easier / more intuitive. Rather than options in the /slash commands (for example have playoffs be a button option)

Having a /trivia command like the SSL bot
