Task 03: 3TPE

I am currently a Dragons prospect playing in the SMJHL for the Halifax Raiders. I'm enjoying my time in juniors as my pro team is pretty stacked at the moment and I will need to be patient. I am ready whenever they need me, which could be next season, not sure yet. I'm not really concerned about any part of my game, maybe taking face offs in the pros will be a challenge if I start out at center, but I could also be used as a winger early on. Definitely want to work on some strength though regardless, that can always be improved. I think offensive game will translate well to the SHL. I'm excited about joining the guys in the pros and putting on the Dragons sweater, but I will definitely miss all my buddies in Halifax when it happens. We still have some unfinished business though and hope to win the 4 Star Cup this season! [150+]


TASK 04: 3TPE





Task 05:  5TPE

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?

Coming into the finals Kata Vilde would be the Dragons playoff MVP. He was stellar in the first 2 rounds, knocking off Edmonton an Texas and probably the biggest reason we have made the finals in the first place. Unsung hero would be Nicky Pedersen Jr who scored two overtime goals so far in these playoffs and has been clutch. [50+]

4. Which player do you believe will be the difference maker in their franchise winning the title here in S47?

As in any series, it's usually goaltending that makes the difference. For Calgary to win against a very deep West Kendall roster they will need Vilde to stand on his head or for Beajeaux Biscuit to be human. For West Kendall to win, they will need Beaujeaux Biscuit to continue to play as hot as he has all playoffs and for Vilde's play to regress from the first 2 rounds. [50+]

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.

Honestly, even as GM I have to go with mild surprise. I felt coming out of a rebuild we were still good enough to make the playoffs but were probably not a cup team yet and tbh we're still not, but we are good enough to play with anyone and in a 7 game series it's been my experience that anything can happen. We seem to have Edmonton's number beating them the last 2 seasons and once New Orleans lost I knew we'd match up well with Texas in the WCF, but coming into the playoffs I did not expect to make the finals. I'm very proud we did though, the guys worked hard and it feels great to be Western Conference Champs for the first time since S42. [50+]

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)

Definitely Calgary's Maxime Bouchard has already been making a name for himself this season as rookie scoring leader and he's been great in the playoffs also. He's quickly becoming a household name and one of the league's brightest young stars. @Weretarantula I would also give his young linemates Nicky Pedersen Jr @mstuk41 and Rainbow Dash @Eggy216 a look also at the line has great chemistry and has been awesome all playoffs. [50+]


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.

No surprise here. West Kendall just had a bad luck season last year, they've always had a great roster and excellent management. I think I choose them to win the east every year and was not surprised at all to see them win the president's trophy this season. Their roster is cup ready and I expected them to make this kind of run. [50]+


Task 11: 3TPE

This is an easy one, I would choose Hercules Rockefeller from the Edmonton Blizzard, mainly because I cannot resist the opportunity to put @Leafs4ever in a Dragons jersey against his will and it would probably break the league. All kidding aside though, Rockefeller is a great player and would be a big addition to our roster for the finals. He plays center and that's an area we could improve behind Mike Izzy. It would allow us to slot Rockefeller on line 2 and slide Nicky Pedersen Jr to 3C with Paddy O'Sullivan coming in off the bench. The chemistry would remain the same on all lines but we'd be upgrading the center position, which is key in going up against a deep roster like West Kendall. Rockefeller would improve our face off winning % and possession along with generating offense and hopefully score some big goals for the Dragons. You can never have enough center depth or goal scoring in the playoffs. [150+]
