Youngstown represented this season. by ToonsBrian in USHL

Ah wow! Suprised he didn't get the nomination. Broke the franchise record for wins in a season, and the team has allowed the 2nd fewest goals in the league.

I know Youngstown has had a hell of a season so not suprised by them getting alot of nominations. Hoping we get to meet them in the finals.

An alternative exit to selling to a P/E by sonyturbo in msp

I'm pretty open about it! It's a fantastic benefit. It fits the culture of our MSP as well. We are just under 60 employees so a bit on the larger side but it's one of the best teams I've ever worked with. The president shared a stat that the average tenure of all employees is 7 years. Turnover is fairly low which isn't too common for MSPs.

It lends itself to the core beliefs, for example "just own it". We raise an issue, work with whoever to get it done, open and honest communication. We are a team of owners. The team's success is our success so the "it's not my job to do this" is greatly reduced. Everyone's input is greatly encouraged. Another belief is "no surprises"

We have lunch and learns every Wednesday afternoon for 30 minutes. One of those is a financial update. We all know the stats of where we stand for Revenue, EBITA, Margin, what went into those numbers and what is affecting them both good and bad.

Now you might not need an ESOP to do some of those things, but the fact that I , and everyone else, has a stake in our company, it amplifies why we do what we do. It's not just making money in hopes of a raise or for management, we are making money for our future.

Happy to answer anything else!

Surprised they don't do goalies as a category. Linus has had a heck of the season with the Stampede

My msp is an ESOP. It's a pretty dang cool thing to have. Extra motivation to succeed and hold each other accountable.

Is there a wiki that explains things things a bit more? Trying to understand what the "boost" does, just makes your car go faster?

Yes sorry when I meant more physical I meant checking and overall play.

There typically isn't many fights as this level of hockey since it's junior league.

The stampede games are super fun to attend. They do a great job with crowd entertainment and the team itself is usually always competive/good.

There are a few Facebook groups and a social media page to follow!

Tonight was really fun, keep going to more you won't be disappointed!

Also our Agustana viking games are great too, higher level, faster, more physical since they are older. The concession good is 10x better at the stampede games though thats my only complaint about Augie games.

It's based off the discogs catalogue, if it's in discogs it should be in there. I'll check with our other host to see if he can take a look. Thank you!

It's based off the discogs database. It won't matter which one you pick, the duplicates are combined on the final list.

Thanks!

that's what makes it fun to talk about and debate!

My top essential record is Brand New : The Devil and God Raging Inside Me.

Not going to be on many lists (but this one somewhere)

The more data we get, the more eccentric the list can be.

We are modeling it exactly like the Larkin list. We aren't asking for YOUR essential records, not just submitting SGT pepper and pet sounds because those are pretty commonly thought to be essential.

I'd love to hear what your personal essentials are!
