TASK TWO: Who is your choice for the unsung hero of the S40 playoffs up to this point? Must be at least 150 words and include at least two statistics in support.

The Winnipeg Jets gave us more than enough to handle in our 2nd round 7 games series and at times during this contest it felt like we were being out matched.. but our greatest strength came from an unlikely source. I'd like to introduce to you Mr. Thunder Jones.. a Kelowna Knights product who Calgary chose with the 7th pick in the season 38 draft. Thunder came up this year and started on our teams 3rd line.. while enjoying the fruits of winning, a rookie on Calgary faces the difficult challenge of making a statistical impact due to the skill and TPE levels of the players ahead of him. Hunter amassed a 7 point 55 hit rookie season where his biggest impact came in the locker room as his upbeat and team oriented persona was a welcome addition. But the kid worked hard, kept on updating.. and bid his time for when we needed him most... which fast forwards us to game 3 of our 2nd round series. 

Down 2 games to zero Thunder Jones captured the moment scoring 2 goals in 14 minutes and earning the teams 1st star of the game while giving life to a team desperate for a spark! but Thunder wasnt done yet.. now down 3 games to 1 and facing elimination, Jones earned another 1st star with his goal and 5 hits in Calgary's 4-2 victory!.. The Dragons went on to beat the Jets in a wild 7 game series which took an Esa Anrikkanen overtime winner... But it was Hunter Jones's 3 goals and 2 game stars which propelled our franchise past this formidable opponent. Most are going to look at the big names on Calgary's path towards the S40 Challenge cup, but don't look past our unsung hero.. Hunter 'thunder' Jones. -- <a href='index.php?showuser=2788' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-10'>Thunder39</a>
