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)

@LarksTongue Commander Shepard on the Winnipeg Jets would be my choice. This is a great up and coming Canadian hockey player who played in Canada in Montreal during his junior years where he was a great leader. In the SHL he finds himself still in Canada as a member of the Jets and he is an amazingly strong two-way forward who is more of as pass first type of winger. Most dudes want to score but we need someone to dish us the puck and this guy is going to be a beauty in the league for years. His defensive skills are already high for a S46 player and he should just get better and better. This experience here is great for him to already be in the cup finals with a chance to win it all. I think he has a great look and name and would be very easily marketable in Canada all over the place. His jersey is flying off the racks already.

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)

@Keygan @TommySalami
Keygan and Tommy I would say I haven't accomplished much yet as this year was a tough season where I couldn't really get going until later in the season and nothing in the playoffs. I am still young and my build needs a bit more time to round out to shape so it's understandable. Hopefully this season coming up I can be better in all ends of the rink, score more on 5 on 5 mainly as I was pretty good on the PP. My 5 on 5 play was very weak this year and I need that to get better. Next season my role should be more of the same, a secondary threat to some of the more high end TPE guys on the team. If I can get my shooting percentage up this year and have a breakout season it could be huge for the team. But it is hard to find the right chemistry sometimes and simon is not the greatest sim ever made so who knows.

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?

I have to go with Buffalo here as I am just a big fan of Connor Tanner's work and would have loved to see him on the Blizzard this year. Tatu is as good as it gets and to round it out with a great vet like Charles Walker is just too good to beat. Their experience should get it done.

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)

Welcome to today's new episode of "Jason Visser in the Pisser" I will walk you through both these teams in detail as I happen to be on the Jets and can give you an inside scoop. Buffalo has the top 4 leading scorers coming into the final round but they have played 16 games. On the Jets it's only taken us 13 to get here because we're better. My boy Ola Wagstrom is leading the charge for us in Winnipeg with 12 points in 13 and I am slacking behind with 9 so far but I was saving my gas.

Why I picked him:

I picked @ToeDragon84 Jason Visser because he has great taste and seems to be a great dude. He will review under appreciated youtube g funk classics and get high to his favorites. I think the podcast could be a hit because he is on one of the teams in the final it brings some extra to it.

I am a S44 and I will pick the S43 season as most of the index's seem to not be working for me. Anyways the WKP ended up sweeping the finals over the WInnipeg Jets 4-0.

The Jets are back now in the finals looking to take home a cup this time around. In the S43 year they had some great performances from Crossfit Jesus and Pietra Volkova but it wasn't enough to beat the WKP. West Kendall was lead by Trevor Wilson who had an amazing 21 points in 15 games as they made easy work of Winnipeg in 4 straight in the finals. Dionyz Vyskoc came up big with 3 game winning goals as well as many other great stars. In net it was Beaujeaux Biscuit with a dominant 12-2-1 record and 1 shutout. 2.29 GAA and a 0.927 SV% he was just great to win it all for WKP. Dani Forsberg also was out there laying the body with 44 hits in the 15 games played.
