There is only one Award where non-SHL contributions are even a factor and due to that, I think it is completely fair that "being super knowledgable about all things SMJHL" is not part of the job-description for the SHL Awards Committee. After all, there also are the SMJHL Awards specifically for all things SMJHL, with people who dedicate most of their time on the site to this aspect of it do their best to come to the best possible decisions in their are of expertise. Every SMJHL contribution be it player or member wise is already eligible for that so you essentially get to double-dip for your SMJHL contributions which, yes, might make it a bit harder to get recognition in the SHL Awards for something that you already got an SMJHL Award for. This hasn't factored into my personal decision but I know that it did for some other people who thought very highly of Kalakar.

If the people at be in the SMJHL are so concerned about the SMJHL being hard to recognize as an SHL awards team maybe they should create a new award in the SMJHL for the most dedicated in that league. I mean hell, how many times do we even see a person nominated for their juniors work in the MAJORS award show. It is really uncommon.


You guys did great, keep it up.
