hey babe come join this game, its like dungeons and dragons but your character scores goals and assists instead of casting spells! There's a fun community and you get way angrier when your team loses than you realistically should haha
It honestly is less hard to explain than you think, because for me the fact that its hockey isn't really as important. The community, and being part of a team is the really valuable part to this league for me and what keeps me engaged.
What keeps me coming back is the ability to create a player and grow/perform as a part of a team. I feel like everyone enjoys playing career mode in sports games on their own, but it is very cool to see it simulated and play out with other people in real life.
It's the people you meet. The pleasure of building something. It's the excitement of the playoffs. It's the draft process... but I would not try to make them understand.
Hey @MMFLEX you aren't much of a hockey fan, so let me tell you about all the awesome real people in this fake hockey league. Even if you can't get excited about the sport, you can get sucked in and addicted to being surrounded by great people.
I am not much of a hokey fan outside of the Dallas Stars, but the frendos I have in SFP and QCC are why I keep coming back. Also one day sobhcak will do something decent not in the J lol
You know how much I love hockey. You also know how much I love elements of roleplaying games and D&D. This kind of combines that but also give you the experience of a locker room with teammates all coming together and rallying behind a cause - the success of your player and team!
I enjoy this league so much because It lets me abuse @Z-Whiz in a whole new environment and because my LR has a channel where @hotdog and @micool132 post their... interests.

I've been a part of this league for 7 real life years. The reason is simple: it's the people. It's always been the people that keep me here, trying to put together the best SHL career experience I can for anyone that comes to New Orleans.
At this point I enjoy the users I have met during my time in the league. At first this was very exciting, now I am just here for the people I've met and hopefully to help us win a championship
I joined this leave on a whim because of my love for hockey, while the sim hocky is great, the community and team locker room is what truly makes this a great place and thing to be a part of.
The people really help the league a lot and you do not need hockey to do well or know what is going on. While watching or participating you do not need to know much in order to enjoy.

Too young for this shit
at this point i honestly have no idea why i keep coming back. i'd probably say the lrs i'm in; they help keep me going because at this point the shl isn't one of my priorities like it used to be.
