I thought I'd do something a little different. I'm currently enjoying a ride in a giant backpack for the first time in my career, so I am hereby introducing to the good people of the LGAHL "The BackPack Thread." The premise of this thread is simple, just add a post to the thread to joke with, mock or ridicule someone for getting backpacked. They can be a friend, an enemy, a frenemy or anyone else who you've seen getting backpacked. It can be for an entire season, an entire career, a playoff series (*cough winless Cup champs cough*) or even just a single game... I don't really care. I'll start us off with my good pal @MLG xCOMEBACKx... For this we've got to go all the way back to S23. A young MLG was in his first season of full-time roster status on the Lethbridge Hurricanes in the CHL (owned by yours truly). That season MLG had by far the greatest season of his LG career, going 16-4-4 with 28 goals and 54 assists (82 points) with a +33. Since S23 MLG has played in LG for all, but two seasons, spending time at both defense and Center at the AHL, CHL and CHL TC level. MLG had a couple of solid seasons on defense, but he's spent most of his career playing center, and in all of that time his second most successful season at center was in S25. Where he was once again a member of the Lethbridge Hurricanes (this time not owned by myself), where he went 11-10-2 with 11 goals and 33 assists (44 points) with a -31. To this very day, MLG swears he wasn't carried in S23, but the rest of his LG career has determined that this is a lie. These days old man MLG is too busy being a dog dad to devote his time to being a full-time roster player in LG, but maybe some day he'll rediscover his rookie form! Also here are MLGs dogs, Tino and Zeppe, because they're pretty adorable. See you soon for the Anti-Awards!
First off I’d like to say thanks for the shoutout and love for my dogs. My last season teammates will remember me falling asleep after stoppages because I was playing fetch with Tino. One correction is that Zeppe is short for Giuseppe and Tino is short for Constantino. Zeppole’s are however delicious. They also have two middle names like many Italians, if you catch me in a chat, I will tell you their full names.
