TASK 6: (Written, 3 TPE)
Every player has a bucket list of things they want to accomplish before they retire. In 150 words or more write about the things you have completed on your bucket list and some of the things not yet accomplished.
When I first entered the league I made a bucket list of things I would to want to someday accomplish. I have checked off multiple ones already such as win an award in the SMJHL, I won the very first Esa Anrikkanen (Rookie of the year) award and also wanted to win a four star cup where I ended up with two. Another one I wanted to check off my list was to win an award at the SHL level where I ended up with the Jay Macdonald for most goals in a season. The main thing on my list is to win the challenge cup at least once in my career. We have been close, we’ve made it to the finals two times but things didn’t quite go our way. Hopefully I am able to check this one main goal off of my bucket list soon and accomplish it before I retire.

Task 10 (Written, 3 TPE)
Your player is out of the playoffs! Whether this is because the team didn't make it, or you have been eliminated, or you won the cup, in 150 words or more write about what your plans are for the offseason!
Sophia Bennett from the Los Angeles Panthers was pretty upset when they got swept in the first round of the playoffs but that didn’t stop her from partying like she won the challenge cup. She got a bunch of her closest friends and shut down Disney world for the day and had an open bar tab for everyone, they were able to go on any ride they wanted and drink as much as they wanted and it was going on Bennett’s tab after she recently signed a one year 5M dollar contract. Aside from partying Bennett’s off season plans include training and going back home to visit with her friends and family and helping out with coaching some of her previous teams and helping with training, she recently bought a cabin in the Shuswaps and plans to spend most of her summer out there on the boat and learning how to wake surf.

[b]TASK 1: (Written, 3 TPE)
Most of us did not reach the Challenge Cup finals in S45 which means that most teams have more work to be done. in 150 words or more describe what (or who) your team is missing in order to make the Challenge Cup series. Is it a role on the ice that needs to be filled? Is it a specific player? Is it a locker room leader? Must include a mention of a build attribute for either a specific player that you think would complete the team, or the type of player that you think you could use.
I think the main thing that the Los Angeles Panthers are lacking right now is a top defender. We have some very good defenders but I think it would make a huge difference if the Panthers were able to sign an elite defender to help out our top guys. I think it would help out the top 4 in the blue line tremendously. Another thing that the panthers need to find is a strong centre with high passing to help out the scoring wingers on the roster right now. Last season the panthers top two centers Sophia Bennett and Matthew Auston both have scoring as their main attributes and it seems to have somewhat worked but I do think there should be some changes. So in all I think the Panthers need to find a defensemen with high defence and passing and a centre with high passing and strength. Fingers crossed.

Task 3: (Written, up to 5 TPE)
Pick up to 5 topics below to write about! Each topic is worth '1' TPE. Each answer must be 50 words or more.

1. Both teams brought in star centers to help them win a challenge cup in S45. Edmonton traded for Joe Kurczewski while WKP added Roman Augustus. Which player will be more valuable for their team in this upcoming series and why?
Both trades were super important to each team, the combo of Dani Forsberg and Roman Augustus is unstoppable, Roman was brought in to be that offensive force that West Kendall was lacking and I think is a big reason for making it into the finals. I do however think the Kurczewski trade was a good one as well and he has been a fantastic fit but I think adding Roman to the West Kendall line up was a better addition that they didn’t have before. (85 Words)
2. Between both rosters, create an all Challenge Cup starting lineup! (D, D, F, F, F, G) and in 50 words or more explain alittle about your selections.
F: Oisin Fletcher
F: Roman Augustus
F: Teddy Cuddles
D: Connor Tanner
D: Ludwig Koch Schroder
G: Tommy Tuck
This lineup consists of 4 players from the Edmonton Blizzard and 2 from the West Kendall Platoon. My choice for this line up was straight offensive in my mind. We have Fletcher, Augustus and Cuddles up front and we know they will be a huge threat no matter what. Then I went with two strong defensemen, Tanner and LKS both players with experience and strong on the point. And of course the goalie everyone has been talking about, he is incredible this season so of course I would choose him. (109 Words)
3. 12 young players (S40 or higher) are competing in this championship series! Which young talent has a chance to capture the spotlight on the leagues grandest stage and why?
I think the one player that has caught my eye in the spotlight is Ensio Kaliju, he is a young player coming from season 40. So far in the playoffs he has 8 points in 11 games with a +7 rating. He has been used in all aspects of the game playing on the penalty kill and the power play with some big names. I think we will all know who he is once these playoffs are finished. (78 Words)
4. Between Edmonton's (karlssens and Keygan) and West Kendall's (JR95 and Wongy) which set of GM's have the tactical/Managerial advantage in this series and why?
I think both sets GM’s are absolutely incredible at what they do. For example West Kendall has dominated since JR95 and Wongy took over, they have even won a Challenge Cup. I do think that West Kendall has the right tactical/managerial but I think Edmonton is going to have the slight advantage in this series with the players that they have right now and they are due for a cup.
