Task 1 (156 words) 3 TPE

With the generous option from the commissioner, it seemed almost to good to be true for Jack Kennedy. All he had to do was pick between Calgary and Tampa Bay (a no brainer, really) and show up. Obviously, he went with Tampa Bay over Calgary with the intention to catch rays and babes by the pool whenever he was not at the rink or doing promotional work for the Simulation Hockey League. With the playoffs opening in Tampa Bay, it would surely be a party. Staying at the nicest five star hotel in Tampa Bay is not cheap, especially with the addition of all those room service and snack bar fees. After game two of the series Kennedy went out in down town Tampa Bay. First for steaks, then for lots of drinks. Finally to end the night, Kennedy took it upon himself to take out all of his new friends for greasy burgers and fries.

In this parallel reality, Hell has truly frozen over for a many number of reasons. The first reason being, some how, some way, the Chicago Syndicate make it in to the playoffs (replacing Calgary). In this crazy reality, the Chicago Syndicate go on a fairy tale run. They first knock off the Los Angeles Panthers in seven games. Next they take out the San Francisco Pride in seven games. In the conference finals, they outlasted the New Orleans Specters in a war of a series. Overtime settled all seven games. Lastly, the Chicago Syndicate went on the win the Challenge Cup in (you guessed it) seven games. In a feat of massive unlikliness, the likes of which will never be repeated again, the Chicago Syndicate played every game necessary to win the ultimate prize.  Going 16/28 over the miracle stretch, the Syndicate were barely above .500. But in the end it doesn't even matter.

Task 6 (190 words) 3 TPE

After experiencing a fair amount of success in the Simulation Junior Hockey League, Jack Kennedy became accustomed to making deep runs all the way in to the early Summer. Upon making the jump to the Simulation Hockey League, those playoff opportunities have basically all but dried up. Making the playoffs only once in his pro career, Jack Kennedy is over due to make it back to the Challenge Cup finals. He just needs to get there; however, the future is not looking to bright over in Chicago. Time will tell, and Jack Kennedy does still have several season left to go before hanging them up for good, so he could get his chance to hoist the holliest trophy in the wide world of sports. Ideally, Kennedy would get his kick at the can with Chicago Syndicate, the only pro team the scoring forward has ever stepped on the ice for. On the flip side, Chicago may decide to trade the forward to a contender one of these years, as he is the type of player that could bolster a roster already destined for the post season.

Task 7 (172 words) 3 TPE
With the season fifty playoffs amounting to less than a pipe dream, to the Chicago Syndicate, at this point, Jack Kennedy is still staying motivated and is still working as hard as ever. Jack Kennedy understand that the playoffs are not in the cards for his team this year, but with the International Ice Hockey Federation World Championship Tournament right around the bend, he is working on some of his games short comings so that he can best represent Canada and do everything in his power to finally get him that gold medal. Working on strength and endurance, Jack Kennedy would like nothing more than to have that gold medal hanging up next to the one he won as a World Junior Champion. By beefing up in the gym, Jack Kennedy hopes to be able to hang on to the puck better, as he has seen some film off himself getting knocked off the puck too easily. The endurance factor is especially important on the big ice of the international world stage.

Task 13 Topic C (66 words) 1TPE

I expect this match up to be close and relativity low scoring, due to the fact that Calgary Dragons and Tampa Bay Barracudas both boast all star net minders in Kata Vilde and Benjamin Blue. With the scales equally balanced in net expect lots of over time and maybe a wild bounce or two to settle this series up.
