@Reedy0rNot technically it was you congrats on staying in buffalo. And leading the minors in points last year you did good. And i hope you join us soon

---

Unsure if this is implinying the SHL in general or people from your first team. Either way I'll give my pings to @NaomiMannequeen and @Tsunny for being good companions on this sim jounrey.

@sköldpaddor Was the first person I really became friends with in the SHL. I am forever grateful for my time in Nevada and really enjoy our friendship. Go Sweden!

When I came into this league, I expected to be something of an outsider, as it seemed to, obviously, be dominated by users from the US and Canada. Imagine my surprise on entering the St Louis locker room and finding a fellow Scotsman in @Asked Madden ! Absolute gent and top tier ISFL user, did a better job with his player here than I ever could (despite me being carried to 2 Cups by an immense Seattle team)

Um I reject the prompt and substitute my own.

Hey @StamkosFan hope you're well. You were the first person hyping me up when things started.

Hi @Esso2264 @39alaska39 the S44 Meme Dream Team will live forever. Even as I bounce to other teams, I'll never forget the glory of SCOTTEY CRAWFLING.

Thank you karey, OrbitingDeath Ragnar, and sköldpaddor for sigs! 

My first friend in SHL was @TheFlash on the Whalers back when our team was super close. Went onto win the ring as well. We had a lot of good users in that era of Whalers.

Now I am free <3

@Bayley probably saw this one coming from miles away, but your still my first and best sim friend and I love that you have not only seen my family grow up, but starting one of your own as well. I'm happy we could send you a nice gift to celebrate this. Few months till baby time!

I don't think the first friend I made is still around. He used to go by Kai but I think he changed his name to ghost at one point. He is inactive now.

@Fitted2106 You will always be that first guy I feel like I connected with in Montreal that first season. You made it fun to be in this league and I miss being on a team with you.

@sve7en recruited me to the Kraken and I couldn't ask for a better GM and resource to get comfortable in the league and locker room. I am forever grateful to you and you're overall just an awesome dude.

@Nokazoa hi bud, you drafted me in expansion to Nevada and that was the place that I really flourished and turned into a decent earner. You the goat

Thanks to EAB and sulovien for the sigs!

@Dangles13 thanks for making me your Co-GM back during the Anaheim expansion days. Shall we run it back for the newest wave of SMJHL expansion?

@Takk806 was the first person to reach out to from the Raptors where I eventually got drafted. Basically kicked off all of the friendships I have now, so he's a pretty awesome guy!

@Wasty has been a very nice teammate since I joined the Whalers. I haven’t been the most vocal this season or last in the Locker room, but they are always a good person to talk to. I’m excited to play together in Minnesota soon too.
