Hi Slappers, welcome to Season 3!
Hop on the ice to participate in the new events in the refreshed arenas ːreboundː
For the next 14 days, you can participate in the showdown by selecting one of three teams to represent. When you sign to a team, you'll receive their jersey and title. Play matches to contribute points to your team, earn more rewards, and help your team win the event.
You can pick between the Pink Puffins, Yellow Yetis, and Green Goats. The team score is weighted so your contribution matters, no matter how small. Select your team's role in Slapshotshowdown-role to show loyalty to your team in Discord!
This is our first time running an event like this, so we might need to tweak some of the balancing as we go. We appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this experiment. Let us know how you feel about the event so we know if we should create more of these in the future ːtrainerbuddyː
Updated from Unity 2020 to Unity 6.2 (Should bring some performance improvements out of the box) (Yes it was a nightmare to upgrade)

Added the Slapshot Showdown event
Reworked the in-game crowd from scratch to be more immersive and react to gameplay

We're proud to announce that in collaboration with Joseph and Couture, we have been working on a mobile game in the Slapshot universe where you manage, recruit & train your teams to become the best Slapshot hockey franchise owner in the game. The app will launch this year on Android and iOS. Stay tuned for more info! Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/68eDGqpEWd
