Task 1
For Harrak, the offseason has been short-term relaxing, but it was back to the gym and practice soon after. Behind on the rest of his draft class in terms of production, Nour has been hard at work trying to improve on his play in time to make a serious impact come S40, looking to really explode this season and prove himself on a roster that’s stacked from top to bottom. Harrak has been hitting the gym hard with fellow S35 draftees and self proclaimed brother Dwayne Wyder and Oliver Konig. However, when he’s not working hard towards next season, he’s hanging out with other friends like Clint Eastwood or Teddy Cuddles, or going on cruises with his wife Pietra Volkova. All in all, he’s looking forward to a fun offseason, but can’t wait to get started on the upcoming season and really make a name for himself amongst the S35 class.

Task 2
In terms of choosing an unsung hero for the SMJHL playoffs, it’s really easy to pick a player from either Vancouver or St. Louis, but I think if any player deserves the credit it’s got to be Kyler Gill of the Prince George Firebirds. Prince George went into this season far from being one of the better SMJHL teams, especially in a year where a lot of teams were HIGHLY competitive, but that didn’t stop them from putting together a competitive, cup-defending season. In what can only be described as a miracle run, Kyler Gill lead Prince George with 12 points, helping Prince George push the eventual Four Star Cup Champs, the St. Louis Scarecrows, to 7 games. On top of a stellar performance on the ice, Kyler Gill is a great leader in the locker room as well, motivating his teammates to put on a fantastic underdog run, even if they only finished one goal short.

Task 6
This year’s SMJHL season was unbelievably competitive, from 1st to 6th place, rosters were loaded, and it made for a very intense and competitive playoffs. As it boils down to Vancouver and St. Louis, these rosters are going to be really closely pitted against one another, and players are really going to need to step up for their team to get a big lead. For St. Louis, Friedrich Schmidt will need to find more consistency on the backend behind the towering St. Louis defense. He’s performed well but his numbers remain a little bit low, which is going to have to be something for St. Louis to look into against a high-flying Vancouver team. For Vancouver, Tommy Barlow is going to have to step out of his 1 goal, 5 assist performance thus far, and really help showcase the depth that has got Vancouver this far. It’ll be crucial if Vancouver wants to make a serious dent in St. Louis’ roster, which boasts a truly phenomenal defense.
