My best memories of the site are from the first few days I signed up. I was always a huge NHL and fantasy sports fan. My problem was finding people who took fantasy hockey as seriously as I did! When I found this community I was so happy. It was like fantasy hockey taken to the extreme. The idea of building my own player and becoming as star one day was so exciting. The community feel was great and just seeing some of the superstar players around the forums was always cool to me. As a first gen back then during a reddit draft the site was very active and the forums were so active. I hate that everyone does most things on Discord now and miss the forums being active. I remember hoping that I could make a unique star with a unique build and that was fun to believe for a while. Once I got to understand the actual sim better and found out that everyone successful just did cookie cutter builds a lot of my passion for this place died. The hype that builds leading up to your first ever SMJHL draft is so much fun and I remember just writing a lot of fun and creative pieces of media to get noticed. The SHL really ignited my passion for writing and I have been writing poems because of it.
