Hot Potato Trophy - SHL S49 Awards Ceremony

Welcome one and all to the Season 49 SHL Hot Potato Trophy awards show! I am your host, Slap McShotty. This is a recorded event, not live.

This is the second season that the SHL Hot Potato has traversed the league. Due to operating two Hot Potato trophies (one in each league), my desire to write all the reports was waning so I opened up the opportunity for others with interest in the award to write the reports and cash in on their work. You may have noticed multiple different people publishing the reports, and I'd like to recognize them now: @wumaduce, @shutdown, @JaytheGreat, and @thiefofcheese. I'm grateful to these people for helping me keep the Hot Potato dream alive and hope it was a good opportunity for them to make some extra cash.

This awards show will introduce two new awards, one for the highest PIMs rate of all the possessors and one for the most time played against a Hot Potato possessor of all the teams.

Overall, the Hot Potato possessors have had their ups and downs, and these individual awards are to recognize those who performed well and poorly while in possession. The individual awards are as follows:

Fried and Crispy - Most time with the Hot Potato
The Unburnt - Least time with the Hot Potato
Potato Lover - Most Hot Potato possessions
Sack of Potatoes - Most hits taken with the Hot Potato per 20 minutes possession time (more than 1 total hit taken)
Potato Protector - Most shots blocked with the Hot Potato per 20 minutes possession time (more than 1 total shot blocked)
Potato Shoots - Most shots on goal with the Hot Potato per 20 minutes possession time (more than 1 total shot on goal)
Protato - Most points with the Hot Potato per 20 minutes possession time (more than 1 total point)
Bonnie and Fried - Most PIMs with the Hot Potato per 20 minutes possession time
Forgedible - Worst performance with the Hot Potato (0 shots blocked, 0 shots on goal, and 0 points for longest possession time)

And now, without further adieu, let's begin.

A fun trivia fact: by proportionally divvying out each possessor's contract money based on possession time to the Hot Potato, the SHL Hot Potato's season 49 worth was about $3.9 million.

Next, the Hot Potato was a detriment (or benefit) to the teams of the possessor, so we must recognize some team awards. The team awards are as follows:

Putting Down Roots - Most total team time with the Hot Potato
Potato Famine - Least total team time with the Hot Potato (at least 1 possession)
Potatoverload - Most total team Hot Potato possessions
Tuberlent Relations - Most total team time playing against the Hot Potato possessor

A big congratulations to the winner of the Hot Potato trophy!

The Hot Potato will hopefully continue in the next season, and possibly with more tracking and more award categories to compete for. Also, an SMJHL-based Hot Potato has been added, so be sure to check that out.

Well, folks, that's all for the awards for season 49. I'll see you next season for the new round of Hot Potato!
