The SHD Original Eight
Chris, Annik, Louie, Zac, Eric, Julien, William and Martine formed SHD’s Original Eight. Season 1 used an overall-points system, and Titanic, managed by Annik, became the inaugural champion.
Four expansion managers brought SHD to twelve in Season 2. Gary stayed after that season, while Mathieu, Cindy and Louis departed. The founding group remained the thread connecting the league’s first two years to its modern era.
All eight founders are part of Season 4. Their current names, historical season pages and known results are preserved in the archives. Complete Season 1 standings have not been recovered, so the founding story rests on confirmed membership and championship history.
