Moments that I'm most fond of have to be the two drafts that I was a part of (so far): the S46 DSFL and S47 ISFL drafts.
Being a new-create during one of the bigger draft classes was an awesome experience. It gave me and my fellow S47 rookies a lot of room to bounce off each other, form "rivalries" (respectful or otherwise). By the time the draft came around for me, I had a list of players I wanted to see get picked highly and I was invested in which players went where. The energy of the draft presentation was also amazing. Both from the GMs doing the presentation and from rookie chat, which was EXPLODING as the first picks came out. And this was all before any meaningful snap of dot football! (Besides the Prospect Bowl, DIREWOLVES PB CHAMPS)
And if I thought that was fun, the ISFL draft was next-level. This was when we all had a decent idea of our players and the drafting teams' needs, so we had time to be properly anxious about it all. But the presentation was incredible, just like the DSFL draft, and the entire community came out to support the teams and draftees in the discord channel. I hope I can be around for many more drafts, because that is really where the league and community shines.
