Task 3:

With the start of my SHL career quickly approaching, one of the things I really need to improve on is my strength. I'm a smaller player which works fine in the SMJHL where everyone is younger and less developed but when the SHL comes around I'll be playing against much bigger bodies and although my skating and puck handling are already SHL ready, I'll need to be much stronger to avoid getting knocked off the puck easily by bigger, more developed athletes. I'll be sad about leaving my teammates in Anaheim when the time comes, these guys have become my brothers over the last couple seasons and I made the memories of a lifetime winning a cup with them this season, leaving them for the SHL will be tough and I hope I'll get to see some of them again throughout my career. I'm excited for when the time comes though, I've been working hard for this and I'm ready to show that I can make my mark in the big league.

Task 5:

I think that the difference maker in the finals will be the player who has been the difference maker for the Platoon the whole way through the playoffs so far, Beaujeaux Biscuit. Biscuit has put up stellar numbers in the playoffs so far and was one of the big reasons came back from being down 1-3 against Buffalo. Biscuit made 90 saves on 92 shots in the last 3 games of the series, winning all 3 elimination games with stellar goaltending. If he does the same in the finals, the Platoon should have no troubles winning the Challenge Cup.


No surprise, the Platoon still had a roster full of very good players including Stevens winner Ludwig Koch Schroder and star Dani Forsberg. They also made major moves throughout the season with the highlight being adding superstar Sophia Bennett. On top of that, their veteran goalie Beaujeaux Biscuit had an off year in S46 but with his performances back to an elite level in S47, nobody should be shocked at how well the Platoon did this season.

Task 11:

The Calgary Dragons eliminated the Edmonton Blizzard and Texas Renegades on the path to their unexpected SHL finals appearance, like we saw in the finals, they do have some important weaknesses and they could have had a much better time in the finals with a player from each team they knocked out. The players that I'd add are Hercules Rockefeller (@Leafs4ever) from Edmonton and Liam O'Callaghan (@Dangles13)  from Texas. The Dragons have a star 1st line centre in Mike Izzy but have no depth beyond that, Rockefeller adds a very good 2nd line centreman to add some depth to their forward group and make them match up better with the Platoon. They also have star defensemen Otis B. Driftwood but once again don't have anyone who stands out on the back end apart from him. O'Callaghan adds something they lack, a top defenseman with a very good shot. Adding this type of player to the blue line will give them a very dangerous shooting threat from up top for the Platoon to worry about when they Dragons are attacking.
