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.

Montreal knows how to celebrate thier hometown heroes and my commemoration was no different, it took place right before a Montreal Impacts game and I was welcomed by the Mayor of the City Valerie Plante and I even received a custom made Impact jersey from the team captain Ignacio Piatti and team goalie Evan Bush which was an honor to receive. Later during a press conference I got to speak with QMJHL president Gilles Courteau about all things hockey in a diner with some other members of the local hockey community. Quite a day to be a local hero indeed! I was not alone to celebrate either, my two sons Jake and Thomas-Ludovic were in attendence as I wanted them to have a feel of what it was to he a hockey celebrity. It's a good life lesson to have to keep them humble and to know what can be given to them if they play at al Elite level during thier future career.

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 will go back a few seasons and reflect on when I was a member of the Detroit Falcons back in the SMJHL. As I was about to make my way to become a full time part of the Minnesota Chiefs I felt back then that I was ready and perform. Back then my weakness was in terms of size which I improved on since then and helped me greatly through the seasons. What I was sad to leave behind was a the whole Detroit organisation I felt, like I feel with Minnesota now, like it was a tight knit group which made me feel like I was with family and not part of just a hockey team. I was excited to be able to learn and play along great players at the Chiefs mentored by Oli O'Koivu and other great players like Bobby Watson, Terrence Nova, Noro Wozy and more.

Task 07: (Written, 3 TPE)
You have been given the responsibility of organizing the National Anthem(s) for both teams in the Challenge Cup Finals. With the entire world watching the league feels its imperative that who ever you choose really encapusates the persona of the team and their fanbase. In 150 words or more, let us know who you chose for both teams, why you believe they represent that franchise and anything notable about their performance,, IE outfits, accompaniment, etc.

For Calgary, I would make it grand and spectacular I would hire the Dragon Fli Empire group to perform somewhat of a medieval / Game of Thrones inspired adaptation of the Canadian National Antem. Fire play, fancy costumes, elaborate choregraphy and more would be the idea behind this show. I would easily see a visual show on the ice where we see footage of a Dragon facing off against a Platoon of soldiers battling with the Dragon winning at the same time.

When it comes to the US National Antem I am going the classic military route, as the Platoon is a combat unit I am going to use the U.S. Army All-American Marching Band in order to parade and perform the National Antem for all to see. Again I want to bring a spectacle out of this not just the traditional singing then we're I don't find it entertaining enough. Similar to the Dragon's I would see a visual show happen too where a Platoon of soldiers battle a Dragon and conquers it.

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)

One thing is for sure no one expected the Dragons to get swept, I was expecting a harder fought battle between the two teams and although we got that in the first and fourth game, the second and third was all Platoon where Calgary has been playing catch-up the whole time.

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?

With the way things played out with the Finals, the Platoon had the advantage as they were playing clutch and were mostly never looking back when they played and took a lead. When the game was tied they never faltered which allowed them to prevail and ultimately win the Challenge Cup.

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?

MVP for the Platoon has got to be Crossfit Jesus, he produced 16 points ( 8 goals 8 passes ) and also netted the game winning goal to give West Kendall the Challenge Cup. Unsung hero for me would be Sofia Bennet, with her three power play goals against Calgary and her assists on key goals including the Cup winner definately for me it has the markings of the series' unsung hero.

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

As mentioned in the previous question my answer is Crossfit Jesus with the overtime game winning goal to sweep the Calgary Dragons and allow his team to hoist the cup once more. His contribution in key areas of play and his offensive tally of 16 points helped the team earn the honor of being the SHL Champions for Season 47
