Task 1: In an effort to excite the millennials and urban street youth, the SHL wants a hip/hop promotion for this years challenge cup! Using the youtube beat above, create a 150 word or more Rap/R&B jam about the championship series!  The song must have at least 1 verse and 1 chorus and include players from either or both teams.

Look
If you had
One slapshot
Or one check
To seize everything you ever wanted
In one moment
Would you capture it
Or just let the challenge cup slip?

Yo

His gloves are sweaty, knees weak, pads are heavy
There's vomit on his jersey already, Wong’s spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To shoot bombs, but he keeps on forgettin'
What coach Bojo wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He winds up, but the shots won't come out
He's chokin', how, everybody's jokin' now
The clocks run out, times up, over, blaow!
Snap back to reality, oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Dani, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that easy? No
He won't have it, he knows West Kendall’s ropes
It don't matter, he's dope, he knows that, but he's choked
He's so stacked that he knows, when he goes back to his huge mansion, that's when its
Back to the lab again yo, this whole game plan
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

You better lose yourself in the game, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to score
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better
You better lose yourself in the game, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to score
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better


Task 2: Oh no! scandal has hit championship week here on day 2! as a beat reporter from TMZ obtained the police reports of a highly embarrasing arrest made from one of the players in the challenge cup series!.. In 150 words or more, create an official SHL press report to release to the media with a picture related to the incident, the details of this incident, what player or players were involved and the official reponse of the league.

The Simulation Hockey League would like to address the recent rumors about West Kendall Platoon goaltender Beaujeaux Biscuit and the illegal activities that he has been said to be involved him. What originally seemed like an unverified report from a highly questionable source has sadly turn out to be the truth. We all knew about Biscuit’s love and adoration for cats, but we would’ve never thought that his commitment to his feline friends would go so far that he would actively go out and purposefully hurt the cats ancient enemy while also making a profit from it. We hereby confirm that the rumors are true. Beaujeaux Biscuit has been actively involved and seems to be a leading figure in local dogfighting operations, a kingpin even.



Along with multiple associates who have been uncovered and imprisoned in a recent sting operation, Biscuit organized dogfights, earning money both through his share in the operation and by betting himself. As a recently discovered shocking video also shows, Biscuit seems to actively take pleasure in the dogs suffering while maniacally stroking Pushkin with an evil grin. As a result, the Simulation Hockey League has decided to suspend Biscuit indefinitely until law enforcement and the courts have dealt with the situation however they see fit.

Task 3: The SHL Network is in need of an interview to broadcast during the challenge cup finals and you have been assigned the task!  Contact a player in the upcoming series and have them answer 3 questions (player or series related) Let them know that each answer must be a minimum of 20 words for you to get credit. The player you interview must also be tagged.

Interview with @Troy_McClure03

Q: Thanks for sitting down and agreeing to do this interview with us. First, as we do with all our interview guests, we’d like you to introduce yourself to our viewers.
A: Hi I’m Troy McClure, you may remember me from such films as “Just hide Troy on the 3rd pairing and maybe we’ll have a chance” and “Damn Colorado did become a great place once I was called up.”
Q: Winnipeg is arguably going into this series as the underdog, what do you expect from the finals and your team?
A: I expect us to surprise a lot of people, I don’t know where people are getting that impression that we are the underdog, we have just as much quality on the roster as the Platoon, the only difference that they have all the pressure know and I wouldn’t surprise to see them crack under it.
Q: And lastly, what can you tell us about the rumors of a hot affair you are said to have with a mysterious woman that people only refer to as “Kimmy”?
A: What I can tell you is that this is none of your goddamn business. There is no truth to these rumors that you’ve heard and frankly, I’m disgusted that you even entertain the thought of them being true.

Task 5: Newspapers and bloggers are covering the event all across the globe and they are looking for information to post to their readers!  Pick 3 of the topics below to write about!  Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50 words or more.

- Which player on either team is most deserving of winning a championship?
Pietra Volkova, because she is Pris. Need any more arguments? Alright then. Volkova is everything you could ask for in a teammate, she was an integral part in forming and keeping together the West Kendall team that we know today and that is on the verge of becoming a dynasty, but sadly she wasn’t around to reap the rewards when the Platoon hoisted the cup for the first time as she had been traded in the meantime. But now it’s her chance to finally get her own cup and of course it has to be in a series against her old team, the team that she helped build… Could there be a more perfect storyline than that?

- Which organization needs this championship more in terms of legacy?
Let’s be honest… Does either organization really need this title to cement its legacy? Both the West Kendall Platoon and the Winnipeg Jets rank among the most successful franchises in recent years, having won one cup each over the last couple of seasons. If you discount the perennial dynasty that is the Calgary Dragons, those two teams probably are as close to the top as you can get already. If I had to choose then I’d probably say Winnipeg though, West Kendall already had a lot of positive press since their last cup whereas things have been a bit more quiet around Winnipeg, so they could probably gain a little more from another win.

- Who has been there teams surprise player in the post season?
I already talked about her before but we have to come back to her again: Pietra Volkova. Yes we all know that she is a good player and we have already talked plenty about her leadership capabilities. But now, after a long career and already in regression, she might be playing her best hockey yet. 20 points in 17 games, among them a ridiculous 13 goals and her usual strong physical play which manifested itself in 61 hits, is there any more you can ask for from a player? Leading the playoffs in both goals and hits by a good margin is a mark that is rarely achieved. We all knew that Volkova was good, but few of us believed that she was THAT good.
Task 9: We are just an hour away from the start of the challenge cup finals and you have been informed that Katy Perry has the gout and can not perform during the 1st intermission... YIKES!!!!!! ... to make matters worse Eggy and HO are not around to approve more money for a differant act!  You have been chosen to take on the unenviable task of putting together something which the whole world is about to watch ...with nothing but the 11 dollars in your pocket.

In 150 words or more, explain what you came up with and how will it be implamented. The Plan must include a diagram or picture.
Katy Perry might be sick but luckily, there is still her little known stepsister Kimmy Perry who has recently snuck into the SMJHL and onto the Colorado Raptors roster under the fake name of “Andrew Martin”. Wearing an elaborate fatsuit, fake beard and state of the art double chin replica to hide her flawless figure, Kimmy has been able to stay undetected for the last few seasons but now it is time for her to drop her disguise, step into the spotlight and show the entire that she, not Katy, is the true star in the Perry family! Luckily Kimmy happened to be in the audience of for game one of the challenge cup finals, playing a pretty convincing Troy McClure fangirl. Having recently learned about her secret identity after a very confusing night she had shared with Troy, who opened up to his teammates afterwards, breaking down in tears due to the sexual confusion he now experiences, I immediately approached Kimmy when I spotted her in the stands. And I already knew my angle. “Kimmy”, I whispered into her ear after quietly approaching her from behind, “you know that there is only one way to win over Troy for good. You know it in your heart. You know it’s true. Go down there and show the world what you are made off. Katy will not be able to perform due to an unfortunate… accident. The stage is all yours. The way into Troy’s heart… and pants. It’s all yours. Go out there and take what is yours.” And without saying a word, she got up and did just that…
