I would like to thank @JKortesi81 for being my sim league father. Not really. He's a cool guy though. Especially that time he got me a bunch of free money and a CW pass.

I would like to think Vaxlare for helping me adjust to SHL and its workload as I joined this after WSBL went defunct.  He helped me in terms of how best to maximize my build as well as the Detroit server being friendly and engaging on Discord

I wanted to take a quick second to thank @SecondSucks22, When I first joined the league they were very quick to help me out with a couple of issues I was having, and they were also very active in the S68 Rookie channel and did their best to try to draw me in the active conversation there. It's not their fault that the Canucks are so terrible this season that we don't want to talk about them anymore.

I would like to thank Newfoundland GM Patty for first drafting me to be on the team and then being a great mentor to me during my first season. There is a lot to learn in year one and Patty has given me some great advice about the league and my player.

Big thanks to everyone that has helped me out in the league especially Jumbo, birdman, trips, all the raptors peeps and the COL GM academy. Tons of great people here and theres always more to meet

I would like to say a moment to how thankful I am for everyone who has been nice to me and treated me well over the last two years. It actually feels really odd that's it has been two years since I rejoined this site. It feels like it can't possibly be but it has. Thanks to everyone who's kept me going.

I would like to thank @dirtyboygrease and @“erikvm” for helping me to learn how to navigate SHL & to provide suggestions for builds and content amongst other things throughout my first season. (I still need to make a twitter woops)
