Pretend that your team has hit an injury bug - the roster is so depleted that your coach is asking you to play out of position. What position is your coach asking you to play and what about your player build will help you be successful in this new role?

If I were to play out of position, I'd honestly say that my best shot at doing so is gonna be as a goalie. First of all, I'm a pretty big boy. Standing at 6 foot 2 inches and 205 lbs, I take up a reasonably large portion of the goal already. Second, two of my strengths are skating and puck handling. Being able to handle the puck and skate fast should ideally translate to being able to get around the crease with relative ease as well as use my good hand-eye coordination to be able to react to shots in time and keep pucks out of the net. Additionally, I'd like to think I can hold my own on defense here, so I can track the puck to a reasonable level and read a play, giving me and advantage in being able to figure out where the puck is going to be moving and subsequently coming at me from.

Which player from Hamilton or Edmonton would you bet on to win a regular season individual award in a future season? What player and what award? What makes you think they'll live up to their potential and take home the hardware?

For awards, I'm gonna go with Tig Murphy winning defenseman of the year. He had quite the incredible campaign this year and I would be surprised if he doesn't take it home in S51. Although he will be hitting regression in S52 and getting worse, I think he'll still be able to pull together a pretty incredible season despite this. With the roster around him and the force that Hamilton has shaped up to be, I think that we can count on at least 2-3 more seasons of Tig being one of the most dominant defensemen to lace up the skates.

Write a sonnet about an SHL-related topic. Be sure to follow the proper ABAB-CDCD-EFEF-GG rhyme structure or your HS English (or equivalent any-language Writing teacher) will track you down in and give you a failing grade.

Here we go again, it is that time
CW is here, I must stake my claim
Upon this forum I write, meter and rhyme
Even if this sonnet ends up a bit lame

Upon a sheet of ice, the stage is set
Skates are sharpened and ready to go
Come on down and place your bet
Sticks are taped, from heel to toe

Shot after shot, pucks enter the goal
The onslaught of rubber was too much to bear
All series long Edmonton hoped they would hit the pole
The SHL was upset, ready to rip and tear

The playoffs were over, Hammy had won
Some say not a single pass was even done
