I'm thankful for my great teammates in Halifax and Winnipeg, both current and former. People like my boy my dude the legend @CementHands, @FinnRhys and @Rublic and @Steelhead77, and newer folks like @mxman991 and @sailingdrumstick. You guys have kept the locker rooms interesting even during off seasons.

I'm thankful for the great Raiders locker room alumni that helped me learn the game, including (but I'm sure I'm forgetting a few people) @Flareon, @Citizen of Adraa, @JR95, @BadWolf, @TheDangaZone, @slothfacekilla, @Kalakar, @ztevans and others.

I'm thankful for being able to brainstorm with @StadiumGambler and @ImASurvivor about the future of the Jets.

I'm thankful for all the people that do underappreciated work in the SHL, who maybe don't get the credit they deserve. In particular, updaters like @SDCore and @SecondSucks22, key feature runners like @ErM (PbP) and @StamkosFan (PGS) and @hhh81 (SMJHL Allstar Committee), and literally anyone that has ever worked in HO for either league.

I'm also thankful for the people that made the league so fun even when I was a rookie that had just joined and had no connections... especially the rookie mentor committee, people that went above and beyond in the S50 rookie LR to answer questions us newbies had. In particular, the aforementioned sloth and jax, as well as @Tomen, @WannabeFinn, @Pris, @Eggy216 and @DrunkenTeddy. It's a small thing but the message you get as a rookie when you first join the LR (or even create a player page for that matter) can really make you feel welcomed, so thanks for that.

And bonus shoutout to Anchorage for the pre-S50 draft discord server where a few key members helped a lot of us out with builds and advice. Never wound up being drafted by the Armada but I haven't forgotten about that, thanks @Acsolap, @artermis, and @Gwdjohnson especially.

And I'm thankful for the community and having a place where I can nerd out about fake hockey. It's been a joy joining this community, a lot of great posters and people. I count myself lucky to have stumbled upon that reddit recruitment thread this past July, and I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who would feel the same way if they get the chance to join as well.

Pretty sure I could name pretty much every member on the site (if I haven't already) so I'll stop here.
