San Francisco is a city renowned world wide for its culture, beauty, parklands and its high standards of living. It does a wonderful job at marketing itself to anyone looking for a great place to live and raise a family and so we are very lucky in that respect, not all teams are so lucky.
Additionally, the team itself is in a good place right now I think. We are a team that is constantly improving and we are finally getting to the stage in our rebuild when we will start to see improvement season after season. Our old core is intact, with HLO entering regression this coming season, Petrenko with another season before that stage and Svenson still having 3 seasons left. Adding one or two mid S50 forwards to this core group could accelerate this team into a contender as soon as S61 and increase the teams window to extend through most of the 60's. There has never been a better time to come play in San Francisco.
Seattle is lit. We have a great LR, and our team is young and improving. We have the top end talent to win soon, with Micheal Scarn, Bo Kane, Cassius Darrow, and Gabe Johnson all being close to 2k players. We also have young S53 studs up front in jack kanoff and Reid Sutherland. Our Defense is probably the best in the north west, with a solid second pair, and an up and coming third pair of grok and RESO - a S56 and S57. Our forward group also has William Salming and Beeg Yosh, two top earning wingers, and Kermit Murphy and Brian Davenport I’m the juniors still. In net we have Yano Rosejac coming up soon, who is top of his class, as well as vets Peter Ramsey and Thor Odinson. We are well rounded, improving fast, and need YOU to finish off the roster! You can have playing time; score lots of points if that’s your thing, and grow with the team. Best of all, we are going to be in the pacific division after expansion, which includes an old Calgary team, a retooling Edmonton, an aging lap team, and a sfp team that is improving but still not good yet. We could win the division for 5 straight seasons!
Thanks Wasty, Carpy, JSS, TurdFerguson, Geekusoid and Awesomecakes for the sigs!
Besides having great team management, Winnipeg is full of amazing attractions. We have a number if wonderful museums, art galleries, and zoos. It is a great tourist city for sightseeing, and did I mention the food? You haven't lived until you have tried a Schmoo Torte, a fluffy angel food cake with whipped cream and drizzled with a delectable caramel sauce. In addition, we have the best rye bread in the world. Enjoy the famous "midnight lunch" and you will be hooked and this rye bread which technically isn't even rye bread. Confused? Well, you should join us here on the Aurora and get educated on the wondrous things we can provide. Many in the past have regretted looking elsewhere, while the Winnipeg we know and love continues to grow and prosper. Come build something with us that you can be proud of, before someone else takes your spot. When you decide the Winnipeg is the play for you, it may be too late. Then, you have only yourself to blame.
Well of course the main attraction to Calgary is the food scene. Besides the legendary chicken parms made at the Big Parm, the team is loaded with gourmet cooks and people who enjoy great food. All one needs to do is to show them the food channel in our discord and see what our guys have been able to whip up. There's also the eating contests continuously held where strangely enough little Cale Admundsen usually rules the competition. Calgary is also a more mature team with a great many veterans of the site who've literally spent years in the SHL. And of course there's the team's proficiency of getting into the playoffs, having only missed twice in the last 2-3 decades. And if they're looking for endorsements, Mike Izzy runs the greatest SHL media productions so every player gets a chance to shine in the many videos and programs that Izzy puts out. All of this makes the Calgary Dragons a great place for future free agents to gravitate toward.
Los Angeles offers a lot to young men and women. We have so many professional sports teams that there is always some sporting event going on regardless of time of year. So for those of us who can not stop thinking about competition this is a great place. And how many athletes get special treatment when they go and root for the other sports in person. Courtside seats for basketball, luxury boxes for football, first row for lacrosse. Not only do you get special treatment, but the fans LOVE it when they see you at the other games.
We also have the entertainment industry here, if you are savvy enough you might be able to not only play hockey here, but in the off season you might also be able to make a cameo in a tv show or movie. Modeling gig? sure you are an attractive athlete (when you where your false teeth) and big brands would love to put your face on a billboard or box of cereal. Is music your side passion? Well all the artists are here and will love to work with you.
Ok neither of those options sound good to you? How about the weather. No more cold Canadian winters. Its 75-80 degrees year round. Go to the beach for Thanksgiving, go to the park in February. Still miss the snow? Tahoe is a VERY short plane ride away. Miles of coastline, nature close by, city amenities, and extra-career opportunities are all at your fingertips here in LA.
Oh yeah, our locker room is very active and fun. Everyone is nice, everyone respects everyone, and we are a no drama team.
Look, it's San Francisco. It's beautiful and iconic. It has a cool bridge. The food is absolutely amazing and there's something for everyone here. Sure, the cost of living is high but you make a lot of money as a hockey player so that doesn't matter much. Do you like wine? Wine country is nearby and you can have fun frolicking in the fields getting drunk or whatever (just don't do that during the season). Sure, it rains a lot but you'll be inside playing hockey. As far as the team goes, we've struggled over the past few years but it's been for the sake of a solid and quality rebuild. We have a lot of great young pieces on this team and we're getting to the time where everything is going to come together to create a dynasty. This is exactly the right time for a free agent to make their way onto this team. We've already done the suffering; it's time for the glory!

There are many reasons to come to Baltimore, but the best one of all is what the city is known for, in a word: CRABS! Yes, crabs, they are everywhere in the city. We have got the some of the greatest crabs the world has to offer, and there are dozens of establishments all over the city where you can experience them yourselves! You can even occasionally find them at various street corners around the city. You might even find a favorite place, once where you take your time or come in for a quick eat. Grab some and bring them back to your significant other, they will be ecstatic to take part! So come sign with the team in Baltimore, your new teammates will happily show you the best locations to get crabs. In fact, the team will happily find you an initial crabs supplier to get you started! So come play for the Platoon and experience crabs the Baltimore way!
The pride has a very robust and talented roster. Many great players are on the team and they make the team what it is. The pride also has a great amount of high end prospects (like Blue-II) and has a very bright and good future to look forward to. The management team is very strong and diverse; a lot of smiling faces and lots of people willing to help you in your endeavors. The Locker Room is very active in multiple channels, the discord server is very nice ngl. You should definitely sign with or join this team as we are very welcoming. San Fransisco is a very nice place to live too, being in California and all (as long as you don't mind the hot weather). Lots of great places to eat with a very diverse range of choices for foods. Lots of nice places to just hang out and have fun

Welcome to the hall, Ben!
Where to begin on coming to play for BAP? Honestly we are one of the best up and coming teams. Currently we are ahead of Tampa Bay in the standings as one of the rebuilding teams. Toronto will also lose players and so they will be weaker after expansion. It's interesting because we lose less so we will be able to take a big step forward next season after expansion. When it comes to playing time established players definitely have room on our roster. For defenseman we can definitely push me or Zebulon down to give you top 4 time which also would include first PP or first PK. As a forward our top 6 is definitely still developing. With enough TPE you could play with the reigning Ron Mexico award Winner and fantasy scoring extraordinaire Karl Krashwargen. I think what BAP has to offer on the ice is really good as we continue to get better. Also we have a great locker room with great GM's and are overall a great place to be
Hello free agents! Do you want to join the next best up-and-coming SHL team? Then the Texas Renegades is the team for you! It's no secret that the past decade of seasons was treated as rebuilding for Texas, which can be rough. Many teams are stuck in this phase for far too long. However, the management to Texas is second to none! We went from having the best prospect pool in the league to one of the best TEAMS in the league. With a mix of youth and experience, the locker room is a great place to learn the ropes of what it takes to be a champion. Dallas, Texas is also an underrated location. The weather is fantastic (besides the tornadoes) and a hockey culture is brewing among the locals. Soon, we will be the best sports team in Dallas and all of Texas. Come join us if you want to win a cup and make a name for yourself!
While I am not on the team as of yet, the Calgary Dragons are a perfect fit for anyone who enjoys chatter, comrades, and chicas. Ultimately, if your goal is to share a locker room with a bunch of dirty old men who like oogling the ladies, then Calgary is the place for you! And while I don't personally partake, the Dragons organization is also well known for the frequency and quality of their chicken parms.
This wizened squad of ben-gay-smelling octogenarians is ready, willing, and able to train the next generation of potentially perverted prospects and percociously percolating players.
We're a tight knit group of people, who have a long history of success in this league, and who like to have a good time every step of the way. It's a well balanced squad is scorers and defensively responsible skaters, with solid depth and a consistent winning record. What's not to love?
Chicago is not a city that needs much of an introduction. It is one of the United States most popular localities for professionals and for a long time has been a storied sports town. And while the winters in Chicago can be harsh, they also tend to breed a certain type of fan...a hockey fan. Those that love the cold air and seeing their breath also love to see pucks flying from wing to wing and open ice hits. The Great Lakes division has been home to some of the most competitive hockey in the SHL for the better part of the last few seasons. If you want to play competitive hockey, you play in Great Lakes. Chicago has been a top team in the SHL and has strengthened its trophy cabinet with a Challenge Cup Championship in Season 57.
With expansion on the horizon, its no doubt that Chicago might have a few more roster spots to play around with but it's doubtful that the roster is going to have much fall-off from a performance standpoint. Top-end talent still lives all throughout the offense and defensive lineup. If you are a player late in your career looking for that elusive first championship, Chicago is one of the better places in the league to get it. If you are a young-gun, looking to grit your teeth playing with some of the most talented players on the planet, Chicago can also offer that. There's really no downside to joining an already super competitive roster with a championship pedigree. See you out there, free agents.
