We all love records. Who had the most Points, goals, assists, wins, shutouts, the list goes on and on. But we never really had, how long players had that honor for. We all know who Esa is, he holds the points leader. but who held it before him? We all know Alonzo Garbanzo has the most assists in league history, but who had it before him? And for how long? So today we will figure it out of course, because who else but me. I am going to do some that I find most interesting, and then if people want to request some others let me know and ill add them as well.

So which one's do I want to do first. Obviously we want Points, Goals, Assists, Shots blocked, hits, and what about game winning goals.

Ok so lets starts with points,

Points

Player Name	Points	Seasons
Esa Anrikkanen	20	S43-S63
Joe McKeil	13	S28-S40
Riley Raycroft	10	S9-S18
Chris McZehrl	4	S20-S23
David Winter	4	S24-S27
Jay McDonald	4	S5-8
Kristian Eriksson	2	S41-S42
Sergei Karpotsov	2	S3-S4
Alex Reay	1	S1
Benjamin Wong	1	S19
Sarmad Khan	1	S2

So you can see, Esa really dominated the recent memory of most players (around 3 1/2 years of having the record. But you can also see Joe McKeil dominating before him. You have the first little run in Sergei Krpotsov in S3 and S4. I do like to see Eriksson having a little lead at Esa before Esa really took over.

Assists

Player Name	Assists	Seasons
Alonzo Garbanzo	25	S38-S62
Riley Raycroft	14	S6-S19
Joe McKeil	12	S30-S37
Darian Scherbluk	6	S24-S29
Sergei Karpotsov	3	S3-S5
Alex Reay	1	S1
Corey Michael	1	S24-S29

This is why some people argue that Garbanzo is the goat. And with good argument. The best defenseman ever, and this is one of the reasons why. The longevity and the dominance in his field.

Goals

Player Name	Goals	Seasons
Esa Anrikkanen	24	S38-S41 & S43-S62
David Winter	17	S21-S37
Jay McDonald	8	S3-S10
Kain Webb	4	S14-S17
Benjamin Wong	3	S18-S20
Riley Raycroft	3	S11-S13
Alex Reay	2	S1-S2
Kristian Eriksson	1	S42

I do like how Eriksson was able to squeeze in there in S42. Where Eriksson had 465 goals and Esa had 463 goals. Other than that, Jay McDonald first to 100 goals in S6. Riliey Raycrost first to 200 goals in S11. David Winter is first to 300 goals in S22. He stopped at 394 goals when he retired too. So the first to 400 and 500 goals is Esa in S39 and S45 where he ended the season with 500 goals exactly.

Shots Blocked

Player Name	Shots Blocked	Seasons
Alonzo Garbanzo	26	S35-S60
Scott Stevens	8	S1-S3 & S6 - S10
Darian Scherbluk	7	S23-S27 & S29-S30
Chuck Weird	5	S17-S21
Brandon Cant	4	S31-S24
Jardy Bunclewirth	3	S11-S13
Kevin LeBacon	3	S14-S16
Kevin Paille	2	S4-S5
Mathias Seger	2	S61-S62
Vladislav Smirnov	1	S22
Willie Weber	1	S28

This is the first category so far that recently been toppled with Mathias Serger taking it over. But Garbanzo also couldnt get like 400 shots blocked in a season. So we will start to see some of those records to get beaten, as FHM gives more to certain categories. Regardless, quite a feat. A lot more uneveness

Hits

Player Name	Hits	Seasons
Taylor McDavid	28	S27-S54
Zach Dooley	9	S10-S18
Mike Izzy	8	S55-S62
Scott Stevens	8	S2-S9
Willie Weber	8	S19-S26
Kevin Paille	1	S1

So you got Taylore McDavid being the GOAT of the category. but look out Zach Dooley, as Mike Izzy is looking to take your place, and be the 2nd player to hold the record for 10 seasons. And there really isnt anyone to stop him, as the highest Active is Kvalhiem with 2497 hits.

GWG

Player Name	GWG	Seasons
David Winter	22	S17-S38
Esa Anrikkanen	20	S43-S62
Alex Reay	4	S1-S3 & S6
Jay McDonald	4	S5 & S7-9
Kain Webb	4	S13-S16
Theo Kane	4	S39-S42
Ron Mexico	2	S11-S12
Raymond Lindsay	1	S1
Sergei Karpotsov	1	S4

Now onto the goalies

Wins

Player Name	Wins	Seasons
Mike Honcho	21	S5-S25
Jakub Aittokallio	20	S26-S45
Michael McFadden	17	S46-S62
Fernando Garcia	4	S1-S4

There is only 4 goalies that can claim they had the most wins in the league. You have Fernando Garcia who was the first to reach 100 wins, then you have Mike Honcho was the first to crack 200 wins. Then you have Jakub Aittokallio that was the first to crack 300 and 400 wins. To then have McFadden to come in as an inactive in TOR, to overtake Aittokallio

Shutouts

Player Name	Shutouts	Seasons
Jakub Aittokallio	34	S28-S61
Fernando Garcia	15	S1-S15
Edwin Ask	9	S19-S27
Josef Heiss	3	S16-S18
Harry Carpet	1	S62

Points

Player Name	Points	Seasons
Mike Honcho	59	S3-S8 & S10-S62
Beaujeaux Biscuit	12	S51-S62
Fernando Garcia	2	S1-S2
Ryan Jesster	1	S9

This one is a bit funny to me, mainly because FHM doesnt have points for goalies, which kinda sucks. but STHS had assists, and Mike Honcho dominated, so much that he has the most, for almost the whole SHL lifespan. And then you had Beaujeaux who tied him in S51. Didnt get any assists and S52, and then played 13 games in S53, the first season of FHM. would he have gotten the 31st Assists to make him the leader? we will never know

Let me know if you want to see anything else

No SHN logo... did something happen to your media empire, or just branching out?

Cool, gotta say I didn't expect to place so highly in some of these Smile

Held the record for both Assists AND shots blocked, while winning 5 Stevens, receiving a further 5 nominations, and he surely would've won a Biscuit or two had the award existed during his career.

I may not have the grasp on SHL history that some others have, but I'm certainly one of those people that considers him the GOAT SHL defenseman.

Merica · 01-24-2022, 04:05 PM

Warms my heart to see Reay up there.

My personal top 5 players ever in order are

1. Jason Visser
2. Ron Mexico
3. Alonso Garbanzo
4. John McBride
5. Darian Scherbluk

5 is a bit hard for me as there is a ton of great options, Randleman , Aittokalio, McKeil, Esa, Eriksson,

Just what you value in terms of a player

I miss your media. Thanks for posting one.

Also do you think it would be relevant to split it into STHS/FHM eras? or by even further eras?

There will always be players that excel within the era that they play, but do you think we'll see someone sneak into that top 5 as things are? Or will it take a change to the league's player development system (thinking mainly regression) before that happens?

For these? probably not since a lot of them span over different era's. but as FHM's higher Points/season along with 66 games instead of 50, you will start to see a lot of the STHS era leaders go down

Oh yeah, there will definitely be people that can take a run at the top 5, it will just be a bit harder. but you also have to remember, Ron Mexico started when there was 6 teams in the league, then 8, then 10, then 12 by the time he retired. And there was less people in the league, so more opportunity to win awards like he has. Scherbluk started out in an 10 team league, then 12 for the majority of his career. Garbanzo the same where he started in a 12 team league, then a 14 team league. McBride was a goalie where there was only a couple goalies that could qualify for awards. So with more teams and more players, the harder to win awards like they have. But it can be done

Segi · 01-24-2022, 06:12 PM

Wow, I actually surpassed Garbanzo in something. All I needed was a new engine and longer seasons. Smile

I would assume that it's gonna get easier to rack up high point totals and other stats actually so most of these records will fall over the next 10-20 seasons, but as you said winning individual hardware is gonna be harder especially on such a consistent basis as some of the old legends.

For me McKeil is definitely in the Top-5 All-Time btw and someone who has dropped quite deeply into "underated" territory at this point, just because he has been gone so long now and because he didn't build the networks that most of these other old legends did. Visser is an interesting case too because for a player of his caliber, he wasn't talked about all that much I find, I wonder why that is. Not sure I'd have him #1 but definitely another player that might be quite underrated.
