Thank you SHL

At the risk of sounding like a total sap/loser etc id just like to give a quick shout out to everybody that’s made this league possible. Now I’m not gonna go and tag users cause I just got here two months ago and still have pretty much no idea what goes on at the SHL level. The media I’ve posted so far has been about draft prospects or my player or other things around the SMJHL but I figured I’d give a little inside into the user. Especially after the realization that I came to this draft day morning. 
Ok so I’ve been an athlete my entire life, my parents said the first thing I picked up was a soccer ball, & I guess I took it from there. I played soccer from a young age until I was 13, and I was GOOD y’all. Assistant captain top midfielder, Playing with the U16’s as a 12 year old, I loved playing and really thought I had a future in soccer. Then I had to make a choice between football & soccer in HS because their both Fall sports, I chose football. Now I don’t completely regret the decision cause I got the opportunity to play college football for two years but I never reached the potential I think I could have if I kept playing soccer, hopefully playing professional somewhere. My entire childhood as I’m sure some of you might relate to, I never thought about being anything other than a professional athlete. Two years before I graduated college I tore my ACL, so with a hampered knee and major doubt with what the future holds, all I could think to myself was...”now what?” I got surgery & was able to get back on the court at one point, but then tweaked it again & haven’t been able to be quite active since. Fast forward 5 years to now present day (& again at risk of sounding like a total loser) this upcoming draft is one of the things I’ve been most excited about in some time. Given my life choices injuries etc I never got the opportunity to live out my dream of being drafted into any professional league, & the pre draft process has been amazing & I just can’t imagine the amount of work it took to make this such an amazing league and community so just..thank you.
