I’ve spent a long time as part of this league (and a lot of time also not being a part of this league, or being inactive… not the point though eh) and I’ve had many great moments; my first season with the Kansas City Coyotes living it up and learning how to sim test with good friends, getting drafted to San Jose and having some of the best times with the good people there, and eventually becoming GM for both of those teams for a cup of coffee. But the one part of those times that I remember just about more fondly than the rest of them was winning the Ultimus with San Jose in Season 24. We were written off massively throughout the season as a team forever punching above our weight, and while that may have been true, playoffs allow those types of teams to thrive. And, after a truly inspiring punting performance in the Ultimus (not to brag or anything, but McDairmid did win Offensive Player of the Game for that one!), we lifted the Ultimus for the 2nd time in SJS history. While we did proceed to win the next season in just as amazing circumstances, nothing will ever beat the amazing feeling of winning that first championship, and celebrating with the friends that were made along the way.
