CW TASK: (Written, 3 TPE)
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)
Nicolaj Muller is the prospect I would chose to build around. He is a S47, so still very early in his career. He has been improving each year in the SMJHL, becoming a full time forward last year and scoring just over 60 points this season! He has a nice build which is clearly working for him. Muller has played on the always competitive St Louis Scarecrows, which will give him the edge over prospects who maybe don't have that culture of winning on their teams. Muller has nearly 600 TPE, which gives him an outside shot at making the Buffalo Stampede next season, but if he's back in the minors, expect him to tear it up once more. He is very active as well which is huge for looking into the future. I think he shapes the image of the franchise by coming in as a proven winner, with a lot of talent. A lot of the times you hear about building around a center, but I think this is a time when I'd make an exception. Muller has a scorer's touch that is only going to improve as the seasons go on.

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)
I've had a pretty historic season in S48, coming in as an unexpected starter after Daco left the league. We knew I'd cap early on, but I don't think anyone expected me to put up the numbers I did. I set Whalers records for both GAA and Save%, and despite some rocky games in the playoffs, we've made it to the finals! As a capped player, it's hard to "improve" on anything, but I'd like to see myself give a more consistent performance in the playoffs next season. Of course, we made it to the finals so it's hard to argue with that, but I think I had a few rocky games (couple bad ones in round one, game one of round two) that made things a bit harder on the team. My role in S49 will be the starter, as we didn't pick up a young goalie to split starts with me. I expect the team to draft a goalie in the S49 draft and have him split starts with me in S50 before I go up full time.

CW TASK: (Written, 3 TPE)
For those in the SMJHL, your job is to fine tune your game to be ready for a call up to the SHL. Part of that fine tuning is having to decide what kind of player you want to be. That can be a tough decision to make as it impacts your entire career! What made you decide on the position you picked? why did you choose your specific player template and talk to us about the type of player in the SHL that you would like your game to resemble. (must be 150+ words)
I originally had made a defenceman in the SMJHL. After a season, I was quite bored with how he was doing so on a whim I decided to make a goalie. Despite some people telling me that goalies were a tough go, I decided to stick it out. I've tried to model my build after successful goalies in the SMJHL (Nadeau was one of the main ones I looked at) but if I had to pick a player in the SHL whose build I'll try and emulate, it'd have to be Bojo, the man I'm working to replace in a few seasons! He's been a top goalie in the league for some time now, and the stats are there to prove that what he's done has worked great. West Kendall Platoon have enjoyed a lot of success and Bojo has been the man between the pipes for much of it. I think if I work hard to copy his game, we won't miss a beat when I take over as the starter in WKP.
