The Winnipeg Jets started out the year on the right foot by making a splash in the free agent pool, signing top defenseman Spitfire to add to the back end. Already having two weapons in Gary Grease and Max Weber on the blue line, this move gave more depth to the roster and added more of a scoring touch to the defensive aspect of the game. And Spitfire came through with 34 points over the season, good for second among the team's defensemen. With a +20 and a team leading 79 blocked shots, it's clear that Spitfire has also been instrumental at keeping pucks out of the net. Spitfire has played a lot, so he's been key to the Jets' fortunes, finishing second on the team in minutes played, only 3 behind star Max Weber. The last contribution from the UFA signing was becoming a fixture on the power play; cashing in with 5 assists, he is helping keep the Winnipeg power play a well-oiled machine.




The highlight of the year for me has to be getting called up to Winnipeg for the Challenge Cup finals. I always wanted to play in the pros, and to have the chance to win a Cup and be called up at the same time? It’s a very exciting moment and an important point for my progression in my career. I’ll actually get to play in my first SHL game, which I’m definitely looking forward to. Winnipeg is putting me in on Line 4, so I have a chance to make an immediate contribution at a time when it really counts. Also, I’ll be centered by Jason Visser, which will be an absolute honor. He is perhaps the most elite center of all time, so being linemates with him will be something I’ll remember for the rest of my career. In my first appearance, it is my hope that I’ll get my first point of my SHL career, preferably a goal.

2. Both GMs obviously have playoff experience since this is a rematch of last year's Challenge Cup Finals, but I would give the advantage to Flappy, because he's not afraid to mix things up with his lines and he was willing to call up rookies to give young, fresh depth on Line 4.
4. I have to pick myself, Ola Wagstrom, because I'm trying to build a Sniper and I am a max earner in TPE. My GM told me my ideal build looks a lot like Visser's, who is obviously a great player, and my shooting is already at 90, so I can already bring some scoring to the table today.
5. Of course I'm going to stay in Winnipeg, because it's the city where my player is signed with, and even in real life, I've always dreamed of visiting Canada. While West Kendall is in Florida, so would be close to me in real life, there's nothing really to do there as a tourist, other than the beach, which I could do at home.
