Dunno if I found this from here or what, but interesting read about a team in the ECHL. Players trying to make it to the pros from the lowest professional league in NA. Pretty interesting.

awesome read. the low-level pro struggle is real in sports, it's many shades worse in soccer.

It's crazy to think that everyone thinks "Pro Hockey Player" and assumes NHL player making 1+ Mil a year, charter flights to games, etc. There's definitely a flip side where guys are really just trying to live out a dream and do whatever it takes to make it work.

i honestly think the "starman" live feed and pictures are fake after the one picture they even show the car in a round room with a wierd looking wall its prob like a tv wall to display the "space background"
the launch has to be real though i mean people were there :P
