CW TASK 1: (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)

If I had to choose a single player from either Buffalo or Winnipeg's roster or "there" prospect pool, I would go with Season 45 create Alexander Selich. Why, you ask? Well, he is a very good player all around and even at his young age he is making a real impact on an elite team. He is developing very quickly and is shaping up to be a big star in the SHL as a true offensive force. With 29 points this season, he is well on his way to earning an increased role and scoring more points. But not only is Selich very committed on the ice and at practice, always one of the hardest workers but he is a good positive force in the locker room and can help create a positive atmosphere anywhere he goes. One time, I even heard he bought all his teammates flowers on Valentine's Day because he is just such a nice and romantic guy.

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, this past season was not a good one for my first full season in Manhatten @JayWhy. My performance did not quite meet expectations but I think that, in spite of our miserable failure in achieving our team goal of competing for a cup, I have proven myself to be a very valuable member of the team. I think I have settled into the locker room well and also, as I have done everywhere I've gone from setting the single season +/- record in Detroit to IIHF with Finland, and my first team in the Minnesota Chiefs, I have once again led the team in +/- among all regulars. While a -6 rating is quite terrible on the surface, when you compare it to the rest you will see that Tokek Takshak and I actually did very well. Moving into Season 49 is an interesting topic. I will be a free agent this off-season and have informed my GM that I will be testing. I expect to make solid money and have a big role wherever I go as I am still young and already reaching bonafide first line defenseman level play.

CW 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.

1. Put together a challenge cup fantasy team using the 2 teams in the finals as the player pool. This fantasy team must include at least 1 young player (S44 or higher) and in 50+ words discuss your choices.

2. This series boasts an interesting matchup at the blue line between star studded defenders! Which includes Troy McClure III, Gary Grease and Slip McScruff from Winnipeg.. & Buffalo's Tatu Makela, Connor Tanner and Charles Walker.. which group do you expect will outshine the other and why? 

3. Winnipeg making it to the finals was an unexpected surprise. What were some of the main reasons why this franchise was able to persevere into the leagues most important series.  (*tag anyone involved)

4. Buffalo has made it to the finals in 2 of the last 3 seasons. Who or what has been a primary reason for the recent success of this franchise. (*tag anyone involved)

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?

1.
F - Dermot Lavelle
F - Viktor Marius
F - Louie Garrett
D - Tatu Makela
D - Cassius Darrow
G - Buffalo

So I chose this team first because I think it would be cool and very possible to choose an all-Buffalo team to really display the strength of their squad. The young player I chose was Cassius Darrow because he is very impressive and the difference between him and Metzler is less than the difference between Selich and Garrett. But I think this fantasy team really brings it all - hits, shot blocks. Goals, assists. And Buffalo is the best team in the series so going with their goalies I think is the best move.

3. I think Winnipeg was able to make it for a few key reasons. First, it obviously lies in the way they have built the team and developed draft picks. They have done a good job with this just by looking at how many home grown players are on their roster. This should afford them continued success. But also they have benefitted by the coinciding of their player development with increased parity in the Western Conference. With the way some of the recent powerhouses have taken step backs, the time was ripe for a newer team to come out on top.

4. Buffalo did great at developing players and identifying great players through the draft. Additionally, they have done well in trades and often come out on top at getting assets for departing players. And, of course, I think they have done a great job at building a strong locker room that encourages members to stick around and be part of what is honestly becoming a machine. @WannabeFinn

5. While both squads have hot goaltenders going into the finals, I think you need to go with the Buffalo Stampede's Cedric Robinson. He has proven he can play at a high level throughout his career in both the SHL and SMJHL and already has experience in the Challenge Cup Finals. Honestly, I think the inexperience of Cedric Moreau will end up costing the Winnipeg Jets as he represents one of many areas in which the Jets are simply inferior to the Stampede.

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)

It's Season 48 here and the Challenge Cup Finals are back! For the second time in three seasons, the Eastern Conference will be represented by the Buffalo Stampede. On the other side, the Winnipeg Jets will be representing the Western Conference. This is sure to be an exciting series full of action. The Stampede come in looking for their second cup in three seasons while the Jets are back in the finals after a long hiatus, capping off what has been a season in which their young stars have really proven theirselves. Who will take home the Season 48 Challenge Cup? Tune into the SHL to find out!

I would choose @"ArgGarBarGar"'s podcast to air the script. Why, you might ask. Well, it is because he has a good, reliable podcast with people who are always bound to tune in. Also the fact that I'm not really sure who is actively putting out podcasts right now. But I think he has the audience to really make people aware of the excitement going on in the SHL.
