Task 01: (Written, 3 TPE)
You are at the airport awaiting a flight to meet back up with your team after spending the day being honoured as a 'Hometown Hero' in the place where you grew up! Tell us about your day... what did they have planned for you? Who did you see there? What were you given? How did it turn out? ... In 150 words or more, tell us all about this big moment as hometown hero.
It's a week after draft day and Monkey D. Luffy has made the long trip back to japan to finally have a little bit of down time between all the fuss and the workouts and all the skates that have brought him from little town japan to the big league SHL. Going 4th overall in the biggest draft class in history is no joke and you better believe his whole town is buzzing. He didn't really expect this but the moment he steps off the plane he is surrounded by what seems like the entirety of his home town! He can see that his parents have planned him this wonderful arrival, and he notices a huge banner on the hangar bay door ... "Hometown Hero". WOW. Honestly this young man doesn't know much about welcoming this new fame and just likes to play hockey. He knows the day is gonna be full of parties and great food and he just can't wait to get back to his cat.

Task 03: (Written, 3 TPE)
If you are in the SMJHL then you have been there for at least a few seasons and its likely that a promotion to the SHL is coming soon. The question is.. are you ready?.. what areas of your game do you believe are SHL ready and what areas are you concerned about? what things are you sad to leave behind and what things are you excited about when moving to your parent club. (Must be 150 words or more)
I know a lot of people from my draft class are going up and its gonna be packed full of top class rookies that will steal the show right away. For me I know buffalo has all the tools it needs right now and doesn't need to rush my development like a lot of other teams need to strain out of their rooks right now. I have asked to stay another season to avoid the log jam of rookies and to hone my skills and come into the league stronger and faster than all the other rookies next season. I want to not be liable on the ice ever in SHL so i need to work even more on my positioning and my passing and shooting isn't exactly at the SHL level quiet yet but I know next season will be where I will shine with the buffalo organization. That's not to say that I want to stay down but I just feel like it's better for me overall in the long run.

Task 05: (Written, up to 6 TPE)
Pick up to 6 challenge cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth '1' TPE. Each answer must be '50' words or more.
1. Breakdown this finals matchup for us, how will it play out? who will be the stars of this series, what will the outcome be? (*tag anyone involved)
2. A major managerial showdown is about to take place Between WKP's (Jr95, Wongy) and Calgarys (Steelhead77, C00kies) which set of GM's have the tactical/managerial advantage in this series and why?
3. Which player in the finals should be considered their teams playoff MVP and which should be considered their teams unsung hero thus far and why?
4. Which player do you believe will be the differance maker in their franchise winning the title here in S47?
5. After trading off there best players and declaring themselves in a full rebuild back in S45, The Calgary Dragons have made it to the S47 finals.. just 2 seasons later. Choose: ('No surprise', 'mild surprise', 'major surprise' or 'in shock') and explain why.
6. Which young players in this series (S42-S47) have a chance to break out and make a name for themselves here in the Challenge Cup Finals? (*Tag that player)
7. The West Kendall Platoon are back in the finals after a season out of the playoffs and a team that was in serious regression Choose: ('No surprise', 'mild surprise', 'major surprise' or 'in shock') and explain why.
8. Star netminders Kata Vilde and Beaujeaux Biscuit have both carried there teams into the finals. Which franchise goalie has a better chance to carry their franchise to a title?
1. Oh boy an expansion team in it's third season makes it to the finals! The other expansion team has won 1 playoff game in 3 seasons, and i really don't think the outlaws are any better, oh well simon is weird. I think the outlaws are just getting all the bounces and luck so i think they'll beat montreal 4-2. That being said MM have some solid players and will make it close.
2. I have to give this to steelhead and cookies. You just can't really argue from full rebuild to final appearance in 2 seasons and that speaks for itself. I don't honestly know much about either sides of this coin but if i were to put my money in a hat calgarys team seems poised and they know what they are doing and they'll come out on top/
5. Any time a team takes a nose dive and rebuilds in just 2 seasons is gonna be a "major surprise". You just don't expect teams to turn it around that quickly and coming from an oilers fan you expect it to take at least 12 seasons if not more! But that boston bruins did it and I guess calgary just showed us they can do it to!
6. Oliver Klozoff, has been the stud of studs this playoff and is racking up pims and taking names. 22 pims and 15 points in 12 games is honestly the dream for a defensman. Hitting hard both bodies and pucks and making that slick pass every single time. The militia couldn't ask for more from this star Defenseman and I think if he hasn't made a name for himself now he will be after this series!
7. Gotta have to go with "in shock" here. I'm not entirely sure how west kendall has found themselves in the finals but even a lost puppy gets it right sometimes. Honestly buffalo should be here and there has got to be a hockey god laughing at this fate of events but my bold prediction is that they will be wiped and will miss the ploffs again next year. fluke year really.
8. Kata Vilde is gonna carry their team to the title this year hands down. Rocking a huge save percentage and w/l like that is no joke. Goalies really shine or get outted in the playoffs and Vilde has doen nothing but prove he is elite as elite comes. 0.924 save percentage is basically the wet dream of dreams for goalies and in the playoffs no less, honestly rip WKP.

Task 12: (Written, 3 TPE)
Theres no path to the finals without a little bit of adversity. In 150 words or more, write about the adversity one of the teams faced on the road to the Challenge Cup Finals. (*tag anyone involed)
It is very clear that Calgary has had no challenge or adversity on their road to the challenge cup and I said it once but I'll say it again. They are gonna crush this finals. There is some adversity for their opponents. West Kendall got extremely lucky to even be here so I guess that is some adversity they faced? They flattened a pretty weak team and then got some lucky calls and bounces (by some a mean a lot) against the power house that is buffalo so honestly I don't think they will rise to this "adversity" and make it past Calgary at all. West Kendall is dead in the water and I don't see them coming out of this finals alive. The Fact that Calgary has steamrolled through this offseason and West Kendall somehow through some miracle made it past buffalo will show its true face when the time comes.
