Hello, Jets fans! First, we would like to thank the mods for allowing us to share our league with you.
I have been tasked with extending an invitation to the members of the Jets subreddit. Why me? I am the General Manager of the Winnipeg Aurora, one of the top teams in the Western Conference of the Simulation Hockey League. Our home ice is Northern Lights Arena, which we named after Canada Life Center lost its naming rights in our own little universe.
The Simulation Hockey League is a free simulation hockey league about to enter its 74th season! You can create a character and take control of every aspect of your career. From the creation of your character, there are tasks you can participate in every week to earn points that go towards improving your player’s performance. With the conclusion of our most recent season comes the off-season activities, including the Simulation Major Junior Hockey League’s (SMJHL) Entry Draft, the initial stepping stone for your player. You will be drafted to one of 14 excellent SMJHL teams! You’ll spend your first season getting acclimated to the league and fighting for the Four Star Cup, and afterward, you’ll be drafted by one of the 20 Simulation Hockey League (SHL) teams. Work hard, stay active, and you could earn the prestige of being the 1st overall draft pick!
**BE-A-PRO EXPERIENCE** \- A rich, personal hockey experience that crosses between video games and fantasy hockey. Build your player exactly how you want with a variety of different styles. Be totally involved in your player from the beginning, and take them from rookie to the SHL Hall of Fame! Every game is simulated on Franchise Hockey Manager 8, and its wide array of attributes allows you to customize your player to the maximum. Success is based on your activity within our community, so the more involved you are, the greater your player can be! Check out our YouTube channel here to see what our live streams are like!

**IT IS FREE** \- The best part is that our community/site is entirely free. It’s free to join, participate, and do what you want. Our league runs off the hard work of our community members, and we all serve each other in that regard. We’re always looking for new members to fuel the already great community we have built!
**DRAFT DAY** \- Experience waiting for your name to be selected alongside your draftmates, vying for that top spot! This is a full draft experience where real people will draft you and spend their resources on your potential. Become the next big steal or potentially the next big bust. Show the GMs you’ve got what it takes to be the face of their franchise!
**REAL PEOPLE, REAL OWNERS** \- Every aspect of the league is run by real people from all around the world! Your draftmates, future teammates, general managers, and the league’s head office are all real people you can interact with. Every decision from team lineups, draft day selections, and last minute trade deadline deals are done by teams owned by site members, with plenty of opportunity for you to fill in those roles yourself! SHL superstar, team captain or scout, General Manager, Head Office; the site is full of opportunities for you to get involved however you choose!
**COMMUNITY** \- Once your player is drafted onto a team, you will gain access to a private locker room for your organization and their Discord server (should you choose to join there). Here is often where the closest relationships develop and where you’ll make some great new friends to share your SHL journey with! You can spend time discussing the season, reflecting on your success, or just hanging out together! Of course, you’ll find passionate hockey fans here, but with so many unique members, you’re bound to find people with lots of interests all over the site for you to connect with.
So once again, we ask you to come check us out. There’s no risk, and you might find a new hockey-related hobby you enjoy.
