The regular season has come to an end, and that's always a nice time to look back and get some perspective.

It's also a good time to be thankful, or appreciative in some other way. You can use this thread to say something legitimately nice about someone else in the league.

As Drew's first regular season comes to close, he wants to thank his two GMs of the Nevada Battleborn, JFK and Fancey. Those guys have absolute professionals with me in discussing where they need me to be in regards to position and have been great in guiding my development. I thank them for their support always

Thank you to everyone who keeps this league running. It has been alot of fun so far. So thanks to the Simmers, Graders, Gms, Coaches, Commishes, Bankers and everyone elso who i forgot or don't know about. Keep going so this league can rund for atleast another 80 seasons.

Thanks to the person/people that keep this site easy to operate! Seems much simpler than some that I’ve tried to use before. Also thanks for building such a welcoming community in the league. You guys and gals are great!

I'd like to thank my GM's who are always available for advice and/or a friendly good morning. Next time at Denny's the rookies should pay.

I extend a warm thank you and my gratitude to my fellow co-drafteé Leo Carlsson (@Rojjter ). We entered the draft together and he's the guy who I send my texts and images for his feedback. Tack Rojj.

Thank you to everyone in Ottawa Highlanders, especially Frenchie. So nice, helpful and understanding to a rookie like myself. And thanks to all people that makes time and effort for this league and community to go around smoothly!

Have to give the respect to JFK our gm for the Nevada battleborn he selected a great team with great people to talk to the season was a rebuilding season but next season we are going for it all

Big thanks to the whole Whalers locker room! The season was rough on the ice, but we were definitely the #1 locker room in the league. Looking forward to next season, gonna miss all the guys graduating to the SHL next year!

"(Sarcastic or otherwise toxic posts will not be awarded with TPE)" damn @DarthDaevin we gotta drop the bit for this one...

On a real note, I want to thank a few people. First off, everybody who runs the league and puts in the backend effort; from somebody in the same position in a different type of league, I see you, and I appreciate you. Your work does not go unnoticed. Second, I wanna thank @sve7en and @kahri for giving me a chance to play in the league and making my rookie season so great. Last, I just wanna shout out all my Slap boys who are here, especially Vice for inviting all of us lol

@sve7en @kahri thank you for taking me in the draft to the Carolina Kraken! Hope I can be useful to the team!

@ghamss glad I got to interact with you more this season and thanks for organizing the two truths one lie for the team this season.

  

    

Thank you @Stadacona for the Chaewon player sig!

I wanna give a huge shout out and thank you to @cake307 and @Jimmysmo27 for all the hard work y'all put into STL. It's a great org and I happy to be a part of it.

This has been my first season in the SMJHL and I have loved every minute of it. I have been so welcomed by everyone had have enjoyed my time in the locker room and on the forums. I can not understate how thankful I am for this little community. Go Walleye! 

If Myers has million fans, then I’m one of them.

If Myers has one fan, then I’m THAT ONE.

If Myers has no fans, that means I’m dead.

I would like to give a heartfelt thank you to @Seany148 for recruiting me and all he does as GM of Vancouver. I've only been here a couple weeks but I've loved every second so far.
