It is said that we are the writers of our own life stories. Some are triumphs, some are tragedies. Some gather dust, while others become best sellers. In hockey, every story has the same hopeful ending. To lift the cup above your head and skate off into the sunset, remembered for all time as a hero player. Life however rarely allows such chances. Injuries, lack of play time and a number of factors beyond your control can destroy any chance of your storybook ending.

For some players, the lights of the Simulation Hockey League are just too bright, the stage too big and the expectations too grand. They never reach their full potential and thus, their stories gather dust. The few who can stand up to the factors, the scrutiny, the endless training and demands from all directions, they become great players. For the few who achieve greatness even in the face of those impossible odds… become legends.

“Johannes Leitner is Simply Incredible!”

“Louie Garrett, thank you for everything!”

“Oh Tommy Tuck, when will we see your like again?”

Their stories end with the rise to immortality, to the hall of legends where they are remembered for all time. Stories they have written over a lifetime of hard work, sacrifice and struggle become recognised as some of the best. They become part of sports greatest library… The Hall of Fame.

And now, The Simulation Hockey League proudly presents, the SHL Season 57 Hall of Fame Class

Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen and Welcome to Toronto. Here at the historic hall of fame building, we welcome the next class of hall of famers. Before the ceremony today, I walked around this incredible building, taking in the history and the stories of players of long ago. Seeing the stories and careers of these legends filled me with a sense of childlike wonder that I haven’t felt in a long time. As a fan of hockey, I adore them, as a hockey player, I revere them. Now today, 13 years after I first stepped into these hallowed halls for the first time, I have been given the distinct honour and privilege of welcoming the new class of legends. To the players who are seated here today, welcome and thank you for coming. And to the players who have been chosen to enter the hall, allow me to be the first to congratulate you on your accomplishments and your legacies. You have achieved the dream that every player holds dearest and even as a new chapter of your life begins, know that the stories you told in hockey will be treasured.

May your names be remembered, now and forever.

Now without further ado, let us proceed with the ceremony.

Before we proceed, the Commitee would like to congratulate the Chicago Syndicate  syndicate  for winning the Challenge Cup. Chicago has always been one of the top teams in this league for the last half decade but something always prevented them from getting to the promised land. This season and these playoffs, however, proved that this year the Syndicate would not be denied their place in history and now they stand tall above all others as champions.

Congratulations once again to Chicago.

The committee would also like to congratulate the Anchorage Armada  Armada  for winning this year’s Four Star Trophy. The team has gone through a management overhaul last year and many doubted whether the players could remain focused in the turmoil. The team would not only remain focused but proved themselves to be the best team in the SMJHL this year.

So once again Anchorage, Congratulations.

As always, the Committee performs a ranked choice voting system, this year we had 8 players receive votes for the Hall of Fame. 3 of those 8 players were inducted. Each player had to receive 35 votes from the committee to be inducted. Also in this class, the 3 chosen players are all first time ballots, a feat that was once a rare occurrence has now happened twice in the last four years.

The committee wasted no time getting these 3 incredibly talented players in the Hall of Fame. Before I announce the three inductees, I would like to take this time to congratulate those who were recognised by the committee but did not earn enough votes.

Zander Rhys - 1 Vote

Challenge Cup Champion (S35)
Ryan Jesster Trophy Winner (S35)
4 Time Scott Stevens Trophy Nominee (S37, S38, S41, S42)
Bojo Biscuit Trophy Nominee (S50)
921 Games Played, 173 Goals, 468 Points, 641 Points

A Toronto legend through and through, Zander spent 16 of his 18 season career with the North Stars. Night in and night out, he would prove that he was one of the finest defenseman to ever play the game. Many doubted if he could truly make it in the SHL, saying his style was too unorthodox. They said he didn’t play the game the right way. He played the game the Zander way. His most memorable season was when he broke through the Toronto line up in Season 35, where he put on one of the finest performances by the rookie defenceman in the SHL, winning both the Ryan Jesster award as rookie of the year and winning Toronto’s only Challenge Cup.

Trevor Wilson - 3 Votes

3 Time Challenge Cup Champion (S41, S43, S47)
Anton Razov Trophy Nominee (S43)
1000 Games Played, 341 Goals, 412 Points, 753 Points

One of the most consistent wingers to ever play in the SHL, Trevor Wilson is often described by people who played alongside him as one of the most tenacious players to ever lace them up. A 20 year career that spanned 3 different teams, Trevor’s most iconic moments would come during his time with the West Kendall Platoon, where he helped contribute to three challenge cups in the SHL’s closest thing to a modern day dynasty. His finest season came in season 43, where he would finish the year as runner up for playoff MVP.

Thank you for all you have done, Trevor.
