It brings me incredible pleasure that after 24 seasons in HHCL, PGHL, and the 5v5 league that I'm hanging the gloves up.
Over the past four years, I've been been gracious to of gotten the opportunity to play with the best of the best and coach some of the most incredible teams in league history. I was the first player-elected captain in the league, and took the 1-4-0 Season II Minnesota Wild to finish with a 14-5-1. Over the years, Minnesota was established as a perennial cup contender-- even after my days with the team were done.
After over six hundred points, three cup championships, numerous finals appearances, countless all-star seasons, and being one of the only players to win a championship in all three leagues-- it only makes sense to go out on top. I'm happy to announce my retirement with the team where it all started- Minnesota.
Since bursting onto the scene on April 16th, 2013, all I've wanted to do is have an impact in the lives of those around me. I hope you've all enjoyed your time here as much as I have!
--Pieman711, HHCL Season XII Cup Champion
A few notes to those who influenced my career:
To Mick60, Bruins26, MackDaddyBthe3rd, and LaxFTW73: Thanks for following me into the league, thanks for being some of my closest friends, and thank you for trusting me to lead you time and time again. Season II Minnesota was the best of times and our time together across the leagues will always be nearest and dearest to my hockey heart. You're the best!!
To RyGuyXV and Fosmanx: Never have I met a pair of brothers who I've liked more. Trading for you guys in Season V was hands down the best trade of my career and I got more than just two future all-stars-- I got two best friends for life. Thanks for giving me the chance to come back to where it all started. Thanks for giving letting me fulfill the promise I made to you guys years ago.
To NYY2: Thanks for being such a great friend and teammate. The memories we had throughout our careers together will be something I never forget. There's not a more humorous guy to be around!
To Eyedan: Thanks for trusting me back in New York with leading you back to the playoffs, thanks for being a dream player, and one of the best I'll ever play with! #DirtDanForever
To Codisyto2: Thanks for being full of good intent, so fun to be around, and carrying the Season XIII playoff run. I've never met a better two-way guy and best ball-cap wearer. Thanks for all the fun memories!
To Caddynator: Thanks for making the twilight of my career a great one and for being the best talent to hit the ground running in forever, you're not only a great player, but an incredible friend.
To Eelee345: Thanks for always being there for me, for trusting me to guard you in the crease, and for being one of my favorite public figures in the league. You're awesome!!!
To UFAIL2 and Darkmist101: Thanks for improving my career, my play-style, and for mentoring me through all of the good times and the bad. You're legends, no one will ever reach the level you guys set ever again.
To SomeStaal: Your defense and forechecking was what got me into the prospect of aggressive defense, thank you for everything you did with me, and for being a caring friend!
To Terminator111 and MusicalTurets: Thanks for always supporting me, being in my corner during thick and thin, and being the best sealed friends that someone could ask for. You're both wonderful!
To Baumz: For believing in me way back in the day, for being a great friend, and for creating hands down the best hockey game on ROBLOX. You created all of this!
To DontToewsMeBro and Midnight88: Thanks for making my stay in horrible teams better, and for always taking my teachings to heart, I wish you guys the best of luck.
To Vexonus: For being the best faucet that a fellow faucet could ask for. :')
A special thanks to the others, who I'm too lazy to write about!!!
