I'd like to start this off with a friendly MERCS MERCS MERCS!!!!! Team Mercenaries has had a fantastic start to the S74 World Cup, finishing the round robin phase in 2nd place, with 17 points and a record of 6-3-1. Along the way, here are some of the key games and performances the team put up as a whole: Defeating Team World 6-1 in our first game Defeating Team USA 5-0 in our sixth game Defeating Team Canada twice, 4-3 and 5-2 The team has had a fantastic start after a few tough losses, gritting out some fantastic wins in tough games despite being the "leftovers" team of the tournament. This is not a team to take lightly, and the players on the team have stepped up massively. @Telkster leads the team in points, with 6 goals and 9 assists. @Seabass leads the team in assists with 12. Along with Telker, @KC15 and @Cxsquared lead the team in goals, with 6 apiece. Lastly, the strong play has radiated from the man in the net, the legend Jimmy @DarkSpyro Spyro. Through 10 games, Spyro has a SV % of .926, and a GAA of 2.25, both best out of all goalies in the tournament. His strong play has carried the team defensively, allowing the rest of the team to focus on putting up offense. It's a lethal combo that this team of misfits will hope to continue into the medal round!

1. I think it's always important to keep activity up. We're all on this team together, and we can have a great experience all together. 2. Home Alone, for sure. That's my snow movie. 3. One-timer practice. Gotta work on those slapshots to get my scoring up. 4. Uh well, I don't follow leagues outside the NHL much lol. Too many players to keep track of. 5. Football! Pittsburgh Steelers, 8-0 season! 6. Going to guess 6.4 KM/H, you're running in a house and I'm guessing it's not a straight line to the shitter.

I'll answer here for ease of access. 1. Joined because I enjoy hockey, and had some folks in another sim league similar to this one recommend it to me. I've stayed because of how engaging it can be, as you can take on any role you really want to while meeting other people you typically wouldn't meet in real life. There's a lot of shared tales and experiences that you wouldn't get from local friends, or even people I meet daily since sim leaguers are all over the world. 2. I am, simply because it's an easier form of communicating with people. Discord has grown in popularity to connect people and allow organized conversations and sharing of information. I think Discord for our league just serves more personalized opportunities for connections. Anything posted on forums is permanent and public, while Discord allows for some quicker, more private conversations. 3. I think that it pops up from time to time, but it's been more of an issue in the past. I'd assume that it's a case since a lot of the league is Canadian, or simply not American. Despite American actions and stereotypes not being in control of any of the individual Americans in the league, there are times where what our country or sub-populations of our country does gets applied to individuals in the league in a less than respectful fashion. I think mods have done well in that regard by removing people with xenophobic statements from positions of power, as well as limiting political discussion that usually leads to these disagreements and "anti american sentiments." 4. I'm indifferent to it. I frankly don't really care, but as @IamMOOSE and I have said on our podcast, we have other methods to boost forum activity that isn't just "hey, go talk there," with little or no incentive. I guess they want it because they feel like Discord is a threat to the forums, which I disagree with. I think the two coincide nicely. In fact, they even removed the IM function on forums which I know a few people used, myself included at times.

missed a whole lot of the now #MercGang
