I didn't take Wightlink but the Slough Jets, but they're quite naff, too. Left after 3 years and winning the championship.
Moved to the WHL Regina Pats (second worst team in the league at that point) and stayed there for quite a while. Didn't produce any NHL stars, but won a couple of championships and the memorial cup twice.
Got an offer from MoDo in Sweden, who had been relegated from the Elitserien the year before and struggled heavily. After rebuilding for one year I managed to bring them back up. I'm still with MoDo after winning the Swedish title 3 years in a row. Haven't had any success internationally however. After this season I will try to get something in the AHL or NHL. The Sharks offered me a job, but I wouldn't leave my team in the middle of the season for San Jose.

My personal goal: Either become no 1 in the GM ranking or play until the Canucks win the Stanley Cup. They have been to the Conference finals about 8 times since I have started, but never won that darn cup. Guess they need me as GM...
