Task 6
The Hamilton Steelhawks had a decent season, finishing with 65 points (tied for second in the league) and almost sweeping there conference finals opponents, which I think the entire league did not see coming. Someone who has had a tremendous season on the Hawks is none other then Griffin Simons. Simons leads the Hamilton Steelhawks in regular season points and Playoff points this season. Talk about reaching a new level in your career. I say he is the man of the match today on Hamilton's side as there will be a lot of pressure on his shoulders to get by the Mighty Jackson Weekes. The Los Angeles Panthers had a Godly season. Not only did they finish the season with the Presidents trophy, they swept their first round opponents and played when it counted to beat the Renegades in game seven. This team needs to gather every ounce of energy if they want to beat the Hawks, who are well rested and ready to play. The MVP for this team and possibly the league is the McBride in the making, Jackson Weekes. The man leads the league in save percentage, goals against, shut outs and wins during the regular season. Currently for the playoffs he has the exact same titles except he is tied with FourFour with goals against (1.91) and obviously right now he is tied with wins alongside Tanner. So the showdown comes to who can outplay who. Will the offence be the greater factor and Hamilton cores their way to victory, or will defence win a championship and Jackson Weekes will save the Panthers and get the cup.

Task 7

(I am an SHL player interviewing and SMJHL player)

Being one of the veterans of the SMJHL, do you have any words of wisdom for your rookies this year?

Just go out there and enjoy it guys, it may never happen again, it may happen again next season, but you never know so go out there and seize the moment. But, at the same time don't let it daunt on you, just play the same way you have and keep playing as a team and the Four Start Cup will be ours. Even if it's not, don't be too upset at yourself or the team. It's an incredibly difficult trophy to win and as such just getting the opportunity is more than enough. Simply but, enjoy your time here. Take it from me, it goes by very quickly.

Did you expect to see the Impact as your finals opponent?

Did you expect to see the Whalers in the finals? Hahaha, to be perfectly honest I doubt very many people had either the Whalers or the Impact making the finals, let alone play each other. We've both proven we shouldn't be taken lightly and that the regular season means absolutely nothing. As such, we also need to realize that the Impact are a great team and we can't take them lightly as St. Louis did.

What do you do to keep yourself under control with the pressure that is on you as a goaltender?

You know, I very rarely, if ever, feel pressure when I'm in net and I owe a lot of it to my parents. They taught me from the very beginning that in the end of it all, it's just a game. I'm getting paid to play a game, and making a darn good living of it. I'm just here to enjoy the moment and my time, no pressure, no nerves.
