When I joined Switzerland a few seasons ago I just wanted to help out Segi and get some IIHF playing time, I would've never imagined we'd be playing in a gold medal game or that we'd even have as many players as we do, @Segi and @esilverm you guys did an amazing job
Then there's the LR, the tiny nation of 21 actives probably has the best IIHF LR on the site...I love being in there @KlusteR, @bluesfan55, @tedlamotors, @UrsinZ, @Mutedfaith and everyone else you guys really are the best
And to @dylanjj37, you're a rat but you're MY rat, ilu bb

HIRE ARTY
About 11 months ago, I got the chance to become fed head of a new IIHF nation. At first, I had no idea what I was doing. There were a couple of Swiss players already existing throughout the league, but most of them were low tpe inactives. The first IIHF we played in, our goalie had less than 155 tpe. It was a miracle, we even managed to get a single point that year. Around that time, I made a wonderdome post mentioning the few active players on the team:

Of these players, only Silver is still on the team and active. I think that kind of shows, how big of a struggle this whole process was. Players who I thought, were our next super stars have gone inactive, unassigned players who I assumed would transfer to us, instead transferred to another nation, Some members who I thought would recreate as a Swiss player, created a player of a different nation instead. And yet, we somehow managed to win a fucking silver medal already.
This has been an amazing journey so far, and it has only just started getting real fun. I am convinced that we will play in another finals sooner rather than later. Thank you everyone on the team, who made this possible!
