Trying to decide which memory to use for this PT was tough. I've been a part of the SHL for over a year now and I've had so many great times here. Should I write about my time in the juniors? Where I learned everything I needed to succeed in the SHL from guys like @Nictox, @FuzzSHL, @gordieboom, @esilverm.

Or how about getting drafted to NOLA by @JKortesi81 and @TheDangaZone and then meeting my new NOLA teammates who were and are so amazing. Finding out @Blastmeaway was a phan of one of my all time favourite bands was definitely pretty alright.

Then there's playing for Team Canada and meeting a lot of my fellow Habs fans like @Gwdjohnson, @Kalakar and @Briedaqueduc and being able to chat about good ol' Montreal hockey. Which I can't wait to do again with you guys!

I could write in depth about all of those experiences, and do so happily but the thing I really want to write about is something that changed in my real life not too long ago. A few weeks back, my wife and I had our first child, a little girl. I was and still am overjoyed. When I posted a picture of my little one in the NOLA locker room I felt like I was in the Lion King, showing off the best thing I've ever helped make. With everything going on in the world right now, it's been tough to be able to share this new experience with family and friends, my little girls grandparents have yet to be able to hold her and that's hard for all of us, really hard. 

But if there was one thing I knew, it was that my teammates, my friends from all over the map,  that I have never met outside of the site or discord, would be there to share in my joy. You guys made this feel a bit more normal, people can connect this much without having ever actually met or touched, this helped me realize that my little girl not being able to get held by the rest of her family isn't the end of the world. There are other ways to be able to get to know someone and have that relationship grow. 

So thanks to my teammates, my friends, thank you for letting me share my experience with you, thank you for always being around and thanks to the parents who came before me, who have offered their support and help (@prettyburn, @CptSquall, @Nictox). Let's keep posting pics in our pets-and-kids channel, both of those things really make me happy. So, I guess this is my favourite memory on the site, so far...
