The most rewarding moments for me on SHL thus far involve the Colorado Raptors. After joining fairly close to the S44 SMJHL Draft, I didn’t really know what to expect. I knew there were a group of teams with picks 8-10 who were very interested in potentially adding me to their teams, and Colorado was the team who ended up taking a chance on this media-writing first gen. My experiences with @39alaska39 and @Good_Ole_Kimmy as GMs are largely why I stayed on SHL. When I joined it was a fairly low point in my real life (going into month six unemployed after getting my master’s), but SHL became a community where I felt some community. Getting to meet users like @wumaduce , @Tomen, @Esso2264, @InciteHysteria, and yes, even @Troy_McClure03  gave me some new friends in this weird ass imaginary sports thing we do. That Meme Team 1.0 run to the Challenge Cup Finals my rookie season is still some of the craziest fun I've had (even moreso than getting the call up and winning a Four Star Cup with Buffalo in S46, sorry @WannabeFinn).

I’ve said it recently, but I hope to be for Colorado what @TML99 (okay maybe more like @JKortesi81) is/was for St. Louis. I’m in my dream job (much sooner than I ever expected), and I plan to stay around for a good long time, helping other people have as great a juniors experience as I have had. Also, I'm still bitter @JKortesi81, but you already knew that you STHS savant.

On that note, you all have @WannabeFinn to blame for me being here. I knew him from HFBoards (cringe at scary Internet noises) and when I saw him post on r/bluejackets saying this place was cool, it got me to show up here. Ironic enough that I ended up on his SHL team when all was said and done, no?

There are plenty of other great people I want to shout out--@karey and @teztify for being fucking sweethearts that made me enjoy my Buffalo experience, @Zombiewolf for sharing his taquitos even when he doesn't want to, @Pris for being one gem of a badass nerd and locker room presence, and an additional shoutout to Esso--my S44 brother and Meme Team fun buddy. Maybe one of these days STHS will stop hating @JayWhy and we can kick each other's asses in the Eastern Conference Finals?
