With the S70 Season winding down for the SHL and SMJHL, our analyst minds ache for hockey, and along with the IIHF tournament, eyes must fall on the WJC Tournament as a quick look into the future talent looking to break into both leagues. It’s time to look at where the teams are going to end up

As with the last time, we’ll work our way from the top-down. Order is the placement at the end of the tournament.

---

United States:

Finished: 1st, Gold

The S69 United States team, made up of an unusually large amount of Great Falls Grizzlies, battered their way to a 9-3-0 record last season off the back of big contributions of Loosh O’Sullivan, Bobby McGinnis, and Adam Liebold. The story for the States was of course, their goaltending core. Brent Turnerson and Kay Lee were virtually unstoppable, each posting save percentages above 0.919. In the playoffs, the scoring spigot stopped, as Phillip Fry and Trap Zelenock led scoring for the US, but only so many pucks got by Turnerson, who posted a .925 save percentage and led the States to the gold.

Now, HFFO and RAmenAmen have got their playoff heroes back, as star goaltender Turnerson and Lee return to the net, and Phillip Fry and Nathan Meagher return to the blue line for the team. The Americans host an incredibly strong defensive lineup, daring other teams to get through players like Pork Tenderloin, Jack McCarthy, Hugh Manius, and John Brown. On the offensive side, wingers like James Lutz, Barefoot Sugars, and Billy Herrington look to take the biggest roles, and centers James Dion and Wednesday Addams will try to pilot this ship into the championship. The biggest test for the Americans is just how far their defensive aptitude and reliance on goaltending will take them. FHM is a fickle mistress, and what works one season isn’t always guaranteed to solve for a victory the next. Despite that doubt, the United States has nowhere to go but forward, and a long way to fall if they stumble.

Eddie’s Best Case: A repeat. Obviously.
Eddie’s Worst Case: Facing stronger offensive teams in the preliminary rounds will create trouble, and Turnerson will be tested. If he falls, so goes the Union.

---

Team World:

Finished: 2nd, Silver

The World boasted a roster that contended with some of the best, a wary warning to the rest of the teams that this season would be a little different. Led by dynamic scorer Alexi Piastri at the wing and a pair of ICE refugees at center in Hai Nam Hoang and Mushu The Dragon, the World powered their way through tough competition to lodge a 6-4-2 record, sitting in pole position behind the British Isles. The team then bounced DACH in the first round, knocked out the Isles in the Group Final, and got as far as the Americans in the final, where their luck ran out and their scoring met an end.

General Managers Caleb and Sovaa must now follow up on that impressive ending to the season with many of their best players having graduated to the active IIHF tournament. They retain forward talent Iliket Urtles, Mushu The Dragon, and Damien Hirano. They also grab Gnabe Dawson, Edvin Kalberg, and Isak Sogard for their back end, and will fight with Luka Nogoalov and Ally Mathieson in net. While not stout in any areas, the team is young, and dripping with talent that has proven its worth in the league through the past few seasons. As it is with many teams, World will likely go as far as the sim wants to take them. Youth has a way of getting more out of the sims than older teams, but do more 18-year-olds mean more than having more 22-year olds? We shall see.

Eddie’s Best Case: Picking right back up where you came from, and getting into the final will be what you’re shooting for again. Not an unfair ask.
Eddie’s Worst Case: 6th or 7th. Missing out is certainly still a real fear you should consider with this team.

---

British Isles:

Finished: 3rd, Bronze.

Oh, woe to the Brits. An unbelievable 11-1-0 record in the round-robin stage, with forwards Victor Hargreeves, Guinness O’Bigbers, Adrian O’Rugg, Jarrod Lakemore, and Erik Bergmark, they steamed right to the first round of play, where they utterly walloped the Finns with a 6-0 blanking, but fell apart early against Team World and never got it back together. Iced down, the Isles settled for a bronze medal and a sense of the fact that they simply let the best chance slip through their fingers.

General Manager Estovich now inherits a squad that may just be better than their first run. The Irish-dominated team includes forwards Viktor Hargreeves, Erik Bergmark, Derek Martin, Ignacio Garcia, and Adrian O’Rugg, and they boast a strong pair on defense, with Alexander Minaj and Chris Valentine making goalies Jeff Newman and George Walsh’s lives much easier. This team is one of the deepest down the middle in the competition’s history, as Shorsey Wobet, a strong SMJHL player, is the 8th best center on the team. This team is built to smother their opponents in offense, just to mug you of goals and make your goalie’s life miserable. Offense will be the live-or-die factor in this tournament for the Isles, and if it dies out in the elimination rounds like last time, it’s another hollow ending to a dominant bit of hockey from the two countries.

Eddie’s Best Case: Gold. You have to believe this team could probably win a medal above gold if they had the chance?
Eddie’s Worst Case: Dog, please do not bow out before the gold medal game, this team is gonna be too fun to waste their talent in an appearance.

---

Canada:

Finished: 4th, No Medal.

No rest for the world’s best. With the high-flying offense of Jack St. Clair, Jacques Hammer, and Bruno Tooyo, as well as contributions from deeper down the lineup with Nathaniel Barca, Roc, and Axel Kirby, the Canadians enjoyed a solid round robin outing, securing a 7-3-2 record and 2nd in Group B, but Canadan did give up a large amount of goals, as netminders Walter Sobchak and Sea Jebus posted unimpressive, if not winning records. This was an omen of what was to come, as in the first round, Canada took down Team North America, but the North took two goals with them on just 17 shots, spelling doom for anyone thinking the Canadians could rest on their goaltenders for clutch moments. Sure enough, the Americans walloped the Americans in the Group Stage, letting 7 goals go by while having just 15 shots on net.

So for GM’s Anthique and Spidey, the time must come to load up and try again. They have their goalie back with Sobchuk, now with another year of experience, and they have Sea Jebus, just as experienced, who could share starts. They keep Bastien Primeau, a solid young gun, and will run their offense through him, Kyle Latreille, his brother Josh, Jeff Lewis, and Nathan Cormier. The team is now much stronger on defense, with Lester Oiduser, Clint Clampton, Roc, and Trevor Warner. The team is sturdy, big, and ready to push around any team that comes into their side of the rink, but their lack of total dynamic offense may be what ends up biting them in the play-in tournament, as placing lower in the standings will only make their lives harder, and their opponents better at scoring. This team will come down to its lineups, and in that sense, Anthique and Spidey will only have themselves to blame if the team goes belly up again.

Eddie’s Best Case: Silver. The landscape is just too crowded with teams with bigger, better offenses. Goalies can be strong, but you aren’t stronger than the Brits or Americans.
Eddie’s Worst Case: Out in the 4th again.

---

UCORCAL:

Placed: 5th, No Medal.

UCORCAL never recovered from the loss of their All-Star forward Aleksandr Iskandrov. The undefeated S67 season melted away over the last two seasons, and the last one provided no safe comfort. Though center Ekaterina Valieva admirably provided scoring alongside wingers Wonada Jagrs and Aurora Azjha, the team wasn’t able to put a lot together offensively deeper down their roster, and their defense hurt the admirable play of standout Copernicus Doomslatter, who filled in as the 1B starter alongside Bandit Heeler. Strangely, the player with one of the highest save percentages wasn’t labelled the starter for game, which ended in a 5-4 loss to the United States. It is interesting to consider just what could have happened if Doomslatter was in net that night.

But the past is the past for GMs Randominoe and MikeLiut, and they have to manage a roster of returning stars and new players. Jarrod Lakemore, Ekaterina Valieva, and Matiss Ozolinsh will lead an offense bolstered by Petr Vrana, Edzus Ozolins, and Bender Junior. On Defense, Dusty Wilson and David Doug will defer to new faces like Ace Lightning and Mit Wobet. The biggest question for the team will once again be in net, where Bandit Heeler will now take over, and Dr. Hugh Orson will be forced to take on the burden of game minutes. This will be the ultimate test, as the UCORCAL team is getting significantly older, with many Russians and Latvians starting to age out. It is likely that this will be the last real chance for this team, before it falls into mediocrity again. Such a high to fall to such a low.

Eddie’s Best Case: A medal. Any kind. A man can dream.
Eddie’s Worst Case: The same result, a lower standing, facing a tougher team. So it goes, so it goes.

---

Rhine:

Placed: 6th, No Medal

DACH, now renamed the Rhine, rode two impressive goaltenders to an impressive 7-5-0 record in the play-ins, with contributions from 4 Chainz, Ray Alexander, Timo Lambert, Oskar Scholz, and Johnny Wagner-Svenson, and heroic effort from goalies August Von Hecht and Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz. Despite that, they finished 3rd in their Group, and then were utterly torn to shreds by Team World, letting in 5 goals on 24 shots. An ignominious end to a team that showed life in the opening stages, and seemed to have things put together.

For GMs Empoleon and Eggcracker, the duty falls to a new crop of players to build on what they started last season. With center Sebastien Regazzoni, and wingers Oskar Scholz, Georg N’Zola, Luca Pane, and Antoine Beauregard will try to add on to the effort put to the scoring load last season, and they will be aided in the effort by Irish transfer Marton Diehm. On defense, Rikaad Metzller, Sidney Shaw, and Elena Maximova will try to stem the tied for the three-headed goaltending trio of Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz, Tibuk Soonika, and Elias Adelberg. This team will be one of the best teams ever fielded by the combined national team, and it will give the fans a new logo, a new name, and a new chance at grabbing gold for their countries right out of the gate. Whether the defense will keep up with the dynamite offense remains to be seen.

Eddie’s Best Case: Gold. In fact, this team is good enough to win it all, like UCORCAL in ‘67.
Eddie’s Worst Case: Out before a medal can be snagged, 4th.

---

Finland:

Placed: 7th, No Medal

Finland found itself on the back end of a stacked schedule, and its issues were exacerbated by a goalie core not exactly ready for primetime. To be fair to the team, Fitted “PRIMETIME99” Cuddles and William tree carried the offense as far as it could go, and Adelbert Steiner surprised a lot of people with his offensive contribution, but the team itself was fairly unimpressive, and the team limped to a 5-7-0 record, barely surviving the blast furnace that was Group B. They then faced the Isles in the first round, and got utterly hammered, never standing a chance in a 6-0 blowout, where the Finns put up a paltry 8 shots to the 46 by the Brits.

As general managers Snussu and ElMerchanto approach this new season, they will ride the hot hand of their defensive star Nash Topalo, and continue to rely on forwards William Tree, Aumy Junior II, and Jacob Fournier. Goaltender Rhett Carpet returns with more experience, and will serve the starting role in front of Kyle Baretto. It will be a tough battle regardless for the Fins, as they are forced to rely on a large amount of international transfers from Canada to even field a roster. Strong at the top, the difference will be made in the middle, and where the team is currently, I don’t have high confidence this squad can work its way into the second round of play to contend for a bronze.

Eddie’s Best Case: 4th.
Eddie’s Worst Case: Out of the entire dance.

---

North America:

Placed: 8th, No Medal

North America found itself with two great assets for a Cinderella-type of performance: young, hungry players and a stout goaltending duo. With Peter Tingle, Nathan Cornmier, Patrice Bergeron, and Kieran Kovalev, the North enjoyed some very effective offensive capability, with power forwards Happy Gilmour and Lebron James even getting in on the scoring parade. This was aided by stellar play from Noah Charlevoix and Asher Gibbons, who each posted GR averages above 75, and GAA of under 3.2. This boon of offense let them leapfrog Finland for the 3rd seed in Group B, but their shooting fell silent in their first matchup against the Canadians, and they were blanked, 5-2, to end their run short.

And now it falls on Trashae and Seany to put together a roster that finds itself in possibly the worst shape of any in the tournament. Many of its stars from last season have graduated to the other teams, and the players left don’t serve much use. They retain Noah Charlevoix, but they will be forced to rely on defensive players like Cole Dasice, Thomas Liebold, and Mick Mayhem to back him up, and on offense the reins have been handed to players like Max Carnage, Theodore Svatos, and Happy Gilmour. This team finds itself in a similar position to last year’s ICE team, and it is likely that even if they try to field a decent game plan unlike their counterpart, they will end up out of the party before it begins.

Eddie’s Best Case: Bounced in the first round, but a competitive bouncing.
Eddie’s Worst Case: Out of the entire dance.

---

Sweden:

Placed: 9th, Did Not Compete

Oh, the plight of Sweden. An oddly weak year of development for the hockey power gave them little to work with besides goaltender Tummy Hurts, who played out of his mind in vain to attempt to keep the floundering roster within distance of the rest of Group B. With Rasmus Bergling, John Hopoate, Tony Soprano, Theodor Larsson, and Daisuke Nakamura filling out the lineup, the Swedes hung on for dear life, but their grip only gave them a miserable 2-8-2 record to end the round robin tournament, eliminating them from medal contention.

Fortunately for GM Juniped, his team this time around looks much stronger. Tommy Hurts had a tremendous season to start, and defensemen Jølñgüštrâädæviñçh DuBølk and Willow Söderberg-Snooks will help to keep him insulated. On offense, the Swedes have a gunner in John Hopoate, and players like Tony Soprano and Johnny FourStar to sling the puck around, Sweden doesn’t have a world-breaking bunch, but they are prepared to take a big step towards heading out of the quagmire and getting back to tournament hockey. With more help for Hurts on the other side of the ice, I expect this team to get farther, but that’s all relying on IF Hurts plays the way he did last year.

Eddie’s Best Case: Into the first round, out in the first round.
Eddie’s Worst Case: Hard to see it happening, but losing out and getting eliminated again.

---

ICE:

Placed: 10th, Did Not Compete

What were the S69 ICE? To say this team produced offense would be an insult to offenses, and therefore, blatantly offensive. I can say that the team was very good at killing penalties, as if the tradeoff of killing off any chance of winning was worth that. Mu Wisconsin, Austin Doumakis, Shorsey Wobet, and goaltenders George Walsh and Tibuk Soonika tried their hardest, they really, REALLY did, but the way the team was built, what was left for them to build around, you really can’t blame the coaching staff for simply checking out of this one, and it hurt them dearly.

So for GM Eddie and Head Coach Devik’s last dance, they will attempt a daring new strategy: TRYING. Pickups like Oliver Castillon, returning Austin Doumakis, and Daniel Grumathan will anchor an offense which will try to manage collective offense, while defensemen Sillysauce McTartarsauce will try to stem the tide for goaltenders Net Man and Sam Conroy. The big pickup, perhaps their best since Hai Nam Hoang, has been Loosh O’Sullivan, the Great Falls Grizzlies standout. He will head up a back-6 made up of defensive-minded players, who will try and keep goals down to a minimum for the rest of the roster. ICE is a thankless task that Eddie and Devik have performed admirably, and if they prove themselves to be more than just phoning it in with a backwater assignment, it will likely be them returning with another, stronger team, looking for revenge.

Eddie’s Best Case: An appearance in the first round.
Eddie’s Worst Case: 10th. Nuff’ said.

---

The rosters set, the skates are sharp. It may not be the IIHF World Championship, but this year’s WJC competition may be the most exciting and fascinating one yet. A hearty good luck to all participating teams, GMs, coaches, and players. Wear your jersey with pride and play hard, and win!
