When I first joined SHL a few years ago my tenure lasted all of maybe a week and I didn't talk to anybody. When I made my return I figured I would just be there to update my player and not make much conversation, until I learned the site had shifted to using Discord as the platform for locker rooms rather than using the site. When I was signed to Detroit right after the draft I was given a warm welcome by everyone there but a few people made a big impression on me. First is @Mayuu , he greeted me with his load of custom Hippo emojis and a warm, "welcome my dude!" Since we have been teammates I have watched his Twitch streams and have gotten to know him as a person, often making conversation about videogames. Next we have @Snussu one off-season I wrote about how Snu and I have been playing Golf With Your Friends on Steam together. Since then we have grown to be Rocket League players together and make a pretty good duo. He always passes a friendly hello to my wife and when he finally visits America he has a place to stay with us.

Last is my real life best friend @WannabeFinn. WBF was the one who introduced me to the site and used to help me with countless updates until I finally figured out how to do it myself. He's given me plenty of advice with my skaters and has put up with my countless stupid questions.
