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.

Being a British Bro from London, Harvey Danger rarely comes home because Texas is very far away. After winning silver in the previous World Championships with the United Kingdom (Or Great Britain or whatever), he became somewhat of a hero being on that team, and the United Kingdom wanted to celebrate him for some reason. First, breakfast with the Queen. Sorry, dinner with the Queen's eldest housekeeper's grand son. It was pretty cool, but Harvey had to wake up pretty early. After that, the Mayor came down and gave Harvey a key to the city. Well, a city, not in London, but somewhere in the North that Harvey will never go to. Oh well, maybe when he is retired. Then, it was dinner time. At the airport. At a Starbucks, but Harvey met a cool football player there. He may have played for Liverpool. Overall, a pretty cool day in his hometown for Harvey Danger.

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)
If I had to guess, I would think that the Calgary Dragons are going to come out and destroy West Kendall. It will not be even close, and I think that the Platoon will likely quit after game 3. Mike Izzy is going to light up Biscuit and be named MVP. There is no chance things will happen differently. (59)

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.
Mild surprise, although they traded off their old forwards who they were going to lose anyways, so it was hardly a "full rebuild". They can say it as much as they want but nobody is impressed because it was hardly a full rebuild. Now I'm just mad that this question was included. It is impressive that they are in the finals though, I'll give them that. (66)

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)
For the West Kendall Platoon, Rex Kirkby (the good British boy) has a chance to break out in this series, even though he is a little on the older side. Good sturdy defenseman. For the Calgary Dragons, it is Maxime Bouchard. Playing on the second line with Rainbow Dash gives the Dragons an interesting look, and I am sure they have both contributed well. (64)

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?
Beaujeaux Biscuit is the better goaltender, as he put up some unreal numbers in the playoffs that only got better after the sweep against Calgary. 1.83 GAA? 0.941 SV%? 4 Shutouts? He was first star for his team is 5 out of their 15 games and deserves Most Valuable Player if he has not already been given it. (58)


Task 09: (Written, 3 TPE)
Which organization that didnt make it to the finals would you consider to be the biggest disappointment? What do you think are the main reasons why they fell short this season? (Must be 150 words or more)

The Texas Renegades are the team that did not make the finals that were the biggest disappointment. A team that dismantled the San Francisco Pride in the wildcard round, then the big upset (to everybody else) of the New Orleans Specters. Nola was the team that everybody saw coming out of the Western Conference, but Texas knew that this was a matchup that they were not going to lose. Then the Dragon's series hit, and they lost hard. It was tough seeing the Dragons get swept by the Platoon, because the Renegades could have handled West Kendall better. They fell short because their offense dried up and their defense could not keep the puck out of the net. The secondary offense dried up and the team lost the special teams battle. They blew it good, and it was so disappointing because it is not going to get easier for Texas. They have some players coming up on regression, so who knows if this was their window and whether or not it has been closed. (174)

Task 11: (Written, 3 TPE)
Writers on the internet have jokingly tossed around the following playoff roster idea: "when a team eliminates another team, they get to claim a player from that eliminated team to join their roster" Pretend the SHL has adopted this rule this postseason. Pick one of the teams in the Challenge Cup final and pick any player from a team that they've eliminated to add to their roster for the finals. Why did they choose that player? How will this player help out? Where will they play in the lineup? (must be 150 words or more, *tag all players)

Those writers on the internet are always joking. Okay, so if the Texas Renegades eliminated the New Orleans Specters, they would have taken league leading goal scorer Demaricus Smyth. A top line center who can put the puck in the net. Assuming that Calgary still eliminated Texas with Smyth, Calgary would have taken Smyth as well. A 1-2 center punch of Mike Izzy and Demaricus Smyth would have changed everything for the Dragons, and they may even have won a game in the finals. Mike Izzy can stay on the 1st line, but a Smyth - Rainbow Dash - Maxime Bouchard second line would have been bananas. Smyth could also play on the first power play unit, perhaps on the point, which would have given them a different look, and perhaps West Kendall would have been tripped up and again, they may only have won in 5 games instead of 4.
