TASK 1: (3 TPE)
Most of us did not reach the Challenge Cup finals in S45 which means that most teams have more work to be done. in 150 words or more describe what (or who) your team is missing in order to make the Challenge Cup series. Is it a role on the ice that needs to be filled? Is it a specific player? Is it a locker room leader? Must include a mention of a build attribute for either a specific player that you think would complete the team, or the type of player that you think you could use.
Overall the season for the Hamilton Steelhawks has been pretty dissapointing. For the past few seasons the Steelhawks has been known for being a team that can consistently make the playoffs. (getting past the first round is a different story.) I think one thing that will benefit the Steelhawks is something that is already in the organization: the rookies getting more tpe. The Steelhawks played 3 of their rookies that were in the system, Andrew Martin, Dank Boija, and Tig Murphy. It will be a welcome addition to get the additional steps up to compliment the already superstars Robert Phelps and Alexander Zajac for the forward core. And Tig Murphy being the most promising prospect in the Steelhawks organization, and probably the most important, will be a huge step up for the aging d-core of the Steelhawks. Overall, I think there is a good chance that we will have a bounce back season. (153 words)

Task 3: (Written, up to 5 TPE)

Pick up to 5 topics below to write about! Each topic is worth '1' TPE. Each answer must be 50 words or more.

1. Both teams brought in star centers to help them win a challenge cup in S45. Edmonton traded for Joe Kurczewski while WKP added Roman Augustus. 
Which player will be more valuable for their team in this upcoming series and why?
It is my opinion that between the Edmonton Blizzard and the West Kendall Platoon of the Simulation Hockey League both made valuable additions to their teams. However, I feel that Joe Kurczewski of the Blizzard will be the better addition in the series, mainly because of the amount of time that he has spent with his team compared to Augustus. Joe has spent the better part of this season with the Blizzard and has shown that he can play well with them. (82 words)

2. Between both rosters, create an all Challenge Cup starting lineup! (D, D, F, F, F, G) and in 50 words or more explain alittle about your selections.
4. Between Edmonton's (karlssens and Keygan) and West Kendall's (JR95 and Wongy) which set of GM's have the tactical/Managerial advantage in this series and why? 
I think that if I had to choose which pair of Generam Managers for my hockey team, I would choose JR95 and Wongy. The reason I feel this way is because unlike the Blizzard, West Kendall has a lot of experience in both winning and getting into the finals in general. That is not to say that Karlssens and Keygan aren't a great GM duo, but I feel with the roster they have had in the last few seasons they should have been getting far deeper into the playoffs. *I think that if I had to choose which pair of Generam Managers for my hockey team, I would choose JR95 and Wongy.

5. Scout for 1 of the teams in the finals and give them a report on the what area's on there roster can be exploited in the upcoming series.
It is tough to say which team has a weakness, it really took some looking deep into it in order to see it. Both the Edmonton Blizzard and the West Kendall Platoon are fantastic teams and it shows. However, Edmonton has one very apparent weakness: their lack of a goalie name Aleister Cane playing. Edmonton chose a weak backup and if their starter fails them they wil have trouble winning.

TASK 6: (Written, 3 TPE)
Every player has a bucket list of things they want to accomplish before they retire. In 150 words or more write about the things you have completed on your bucket list and some of the things not yet accomplished.
Well, seeing as how Andrew Martin is still so young it's completely reasonable that he would not have very much on his bucket list completed. As of right now, Martin has a few of the obvious ones: inning a cup, getting IIHF gold, like I said the obvious ones. However I still like to think that Martin has some pretty unique goals set for himself. One of his goals is to score at at least a pp/g pace, something that is very attainable seeing as how he got .5 pp/g in his rookie season. He also hopes to make it onto the first line of a team, this one may seem insignificant to most, but it's a sign of "making it" for Martin. Lastly, he hopes that he can one day make the SHL Hall of Fame. Something that most players will never achieve. With that said, Andrew Martin has reached some goals that he had aspired to. For example, In season 43 he managed to win himself a championship in juniors with the Vancouver Whalers as the first line center. Something he is very proud of. Another goal would be just making the SHL/IIHF roster. Two seasons ago he made his debut for team Germany, and this is his rookie season for the Hamilton Steelhawks. (219 words)


Task 10: (3 TPE)
Your player is out of the playoffs! Whether this is because the team didn't make it, or you have been eliminated, or you won the cup, in 150 words or more write about what your plans are for the offseason!
After scoring 25 points in the regular season for the Hamilton Steelhawks, the rookie intends to kickback and relax during to offseason to hopefully recharge for next season. He decides he wants to go on vacation, and with the money he has been making in the big leagues that probably shouldn't be a problem. However, another problem arose: who is he going on vacation with? It's super lame to go out and party by yourself, and most of the people on his team are too old and it would feel weird to go and get stupid litty with them. So, he decides he will get a group of people that he played with in juniors and have a reunion. Except for Alex Winters, he is too good to be hanging out with a scrub like Andrew Martin so he isn't invited. Troy Mcllure III invited Martin to Winnipeg, so Martin decides to go over there. His plan? Steal. The. Hot Tub. (161 words)
