For most of us S48 is over and now its time to sit down with your GM's for a season end review! talk to your GM's about what youve accomplished, what you are strong at, what you need to improve on and what would you like your role to be moving into S49. Task must be 150 words or more. (*Tag your GM’s)

Well coach, this is now my 12th season as a Dragon and 15th season in this league and tbh theres not much i havnt accomplished. Ive won titles, ive won awards and last season i reached some amazing milestones such as being named the best player in the world via the top 100 list. I was the first player in league history to boast 50 points and 200 hits in 3 straight seasons and i moved into the top 10 all time in total hits. I owe allot of that to you, from teaching me the ropes to always putting me in a position to succeed to handing me the keys and letting me drive this franchise. Moving into S49 i begin my path towards 15% regression.. i still have plenty of TPE so i suspect my role will stay the same. that said this Dragons team has some amazing talent and it wont be long before i move back to wing and prepare to hand the keys to the next guy.  --> @Steelhead77, @c00kies

Both teams in our challenge cup series come in with a healthy set of talented young players. if you were to choose a player from either teams SHL roster or there prospect pool with a (start date of S45, S46, S47 or S48) to build your team around, who would it be and why? What qualities on or off the ice make them 'that guy' and how do you think they would shape the image of their franchise? (150+ words and *tag any player involved in this task)

Theres a player in Buffalos farm system thats caught my eye and his name is Nicolaj Muller. The cousin of Michael Fischer who was a solid player in the SMJHL.... Muller has a bit more talent and seems to be built better for the rigors of the SHL. On the ice Muellers showing an advanced work ethic sporting a player build close to 600.. off the ice Mueller is great for the St. Louis community chiping in on his off days to work with the school systems to encourage kids in math and computers. Muller isnt an in your face type player but i believe he can be a leader by example at the next level. Buffalo has a ton of young talent and Nicolaj Muller is right smack in the middle of it. -- @esilverm

S48 was the season of the podcasts here in the SHL and with increased audio competition comes the fight for Challenge Cup advertising! HO has asked you to create an audio add for a "Buffalo/Winnipeg preview" script to be aired on the radio. Create a '100' word hype add and then choose which podcast it will be appearing on and in 50+ words explain why you chose that podcast to air the script. (*Tag anyone involved)

""The S48 Challenge Cup is a match of 'will' vs 'Skill' as 2 very differant teams cross paths on the leagues biggest stage! Comming in at long shot odds Winnipeg took all there moving parts and found a way to make it work. The youth of lil Manius, Slip McScruff, Ola Wagstrom and Nick Brain.. the veteran leadership of Jay Visser, Crossfit Jesus and Max Weber and the skill of a great defensive unit anchored by Gary Grease and Troy McClure III.  Winnipeg has shown a will to win as they somehow someway turned vinegar into honey.....Bufallo has been hoarding talent for the better part of the S40's and with alittle seasoning they have learned how to harness that talent into a very formidable unit. There were some high profile moves during this challenge cup season.. trading God McZherl, adding Connor Tanner... Tomen and Finn were tuned into what this franchise could do and not do.. and now they are on the cusp of a 2nd title in 3 seasons. So get in your seats and buckle up cause Will vs Skill is about to take place in our challenge cup championship series!""

This was not an easy decision cause there are some real talented podcasters currently on the SHL airwaves but ive decided that the above will appear on the Big Slappy Hour cause on the biggest stage it seems appropriate to have the biggest audio hosts premiering this script. Its like the way the NFL does it.. they highlight there announcers but come super bowl time its the best of the best and in the SHL thats Slappy and Bonk.

Task 05: (Written, up to 4 TPE)
Pick up to 4 challenge cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth '1' TPE. Each answer must be '50' words or more.

5. Both franchises come into the series with a hot Cedric! Between Winnipegs Cedric Moreau and Buffallo's Cedric Robinson which emerging netminder has the advantage over the other in this series?

To be honest i think this goalie matchup is as even as can be. Both netminders are alittle under the top tier guys but both are quite talented with the ability to carry a team on there back for a period of time. But i'd like to shout out Cedric Moreau because his path to this moment has not been easy. Moreau was drafted by edmonton in in the middle of the 3rd round back in S39.. Buried behind some higher TPE goalies Cedric found his way to a starting role in Manhatten a few seasons in, on a team that at the time was deep in the woods and without the skill to support the young netminder. At the same time Moreau was emerging on the international scene for Sweden as their up and coming backstop, but the swedes added a franchise caliber goalie to the roster and Moreau quickly found himself riding the bench. With allot of moving parts Moreau found a job in Winnipeg on a team that wasnt expected to compete any time soon. But this is where the journyman goalie found his footing and rewarded those that believed in him with a 23-11 season and a .919 save pct...and then took part in a playoff run where he won 8 of 12 games with a remarkable 2.03 GAA! This is one of those unique player profiles that Izz.TV will one day make a show about. ---> @treant
