TASK ONE: Decorate your teammates car for the big game! Can be written or graphic. If written, tell us how you plan on "decorating" your teammates ride before leaving for the viewing party and must be 150 words.

Pietra Volkova and her roommate Mikko Linna decided to spend a night watching Game 1 of the Challenge Cup at a bar viewing party in Miami before Volkova flew out to Portland for the rest of the finals. To surprise her roommate and console him a bit on the series loss, Volkova decided to decorate his car the night before Game 1 so they could drive to the bar in style. Much to Linna's surprise and mild disdain, when he woke up the morning of the game, his car was decked out in car paint. His back windshield read "AT LEAST I SCORED ON THEIR GOALIE" in white car marker surrounded by powder blue car paint, the sides of the car sported Portland gold all over, and on his hood, Volkova had attempted very crudely to draw the Portland and Toronto logos in their respective colors. Underneath, in much smaller script, bright gold pen said "But actually, fuck Toronto," only visible when standing right in front of the car.


TASK TWO: Pre-Party! Create a drink menu for the arena to sell during the playoff series. Must have four drink specials named after two players each team and have a brief description of each drink! Must be at least 150 words total. If graphic, create a menu that contains four drinks, brief description and price!



TASK THREE: Write a script for the game day preview for Game One of the Finals. Must be at least 150 words.

Kelvin: Hello, and welcome to the Moda Center, where we're in for a fiery matchup between two desperate teams in Game 1. Will McBride favorite Kyle Wahlgren have what it takes to steal his team a win? Or will a rejuvenated Toronto team, fresh off two five-game series, cruise right past a tired Admirals squad? I'm Kelvin Gardener, here as always with my partner, Aleksey Voirobev.

Aleksey: Thank you, Kelvin, and what a matchup we have today. I think we can all agree that tonight, all eyes will be watching between the pipes of these two teams, where two young goalies are poised to try and bring their team some glory.

Kelvin: That's right, Aleksey. Kyle Wahlgren's been playing like a star all year in Portland, and it'll be no surprise if he ends up being the difference-maker in this series.

Aleksey: Well, hold on there, we can't discount Kirkstone just yet. He's taken his starting spot, and rightfully so, from an SHL legend, and if ever there was a time for him to shine, it would be now.

Kelvin: Very true. Not only the goalies, but all of the young players on these two teams are going to have to step up their game if they want to make the difference. Players like Reed Laing and Chris York in Toronto are poised to have breakout playoffs series similar to their seasons.

Aleksey: On the other side of the ice, Samee Iqbal and Max Weber are examples of players who could tip the scales in favor of the Admirals in this series. It's so evenly matched that it's hard to find a surefire player who could decide the series.

Kelvin: Definitely, Aleksey. It's going to be a wild ride, and no matter who wins this series, we'll be seeing history made with the lifting of this season's Challenge Cup. Let's go down to the ice now as we stand for our national anthems, and wait for this match to get underway.


TASK FIVE: Media Day once again! Create three questions, one for three different players in the Challenge Cup and tag them! Playing in the Challenge Cup? Feel free to answer questions for your task or ask three of your own!
