This reality is just one of the infinite realities existing alongside this one in parallel. Take us over to one of those realities in which everything is the same but these S52 playoffs have unfolded differently. What happened in that reality's playoffs and who's in the Challenge Cup over there?
In this reality, Toronto North Stars have a perfect season. 50-0 and undefeated in the playoffs. This reality, rebuilding teams are champing every year and Toronto North Stars have gone back-to-back-to-back-to-back-back. They are the ultimate champs in this reality, and they have just added TOP prospect First-Name Last-Name and are now guaranteed to win for the rest of eternity. At this rate, the SHL will just be renamed to TORONTO, since they are championing all the time in this reality. All this infinite reality talk is reminding me of Rick and Morty; SHL edition. But also, in another reality, Toronto goes 0-50 and has been rebuilding for years, at this rate the team is going to fold or relocate. So which reality is the real one? I think a season somewhere in-between, a decent year and maybe a good run in the playoffs? Stay tuned next episode to see where Rick and Morty travel next.

I am not big into odds and all those nerd analytics but what I do know, next season Toronto is going to win it all. No satire or sarcasm, they just traded for mega-superstar “First-Name Last-Name” and are now going to go 50-0 next season. This team has been rebuilding for a few years but now it is all going to turn around this next season. But in all seriousness, I think Edmonton has a decent chance at making a run this year. Even though I was traded, I am excited to see how they do because they have a solid roster. I am excited to go against those guys and I hope Toronto can make a decent run ourselves. It’s hard to predict next season because of the sim switch, so we don’t really know how all that is going to work out, but I am excited for this new chapter of the SHL.

By now, you're probably familiar with the attributes on FHM, and you likely have some sense of what type of build you're going to be aiming for with your player. What one attribute are you going to focus on most? Of all the attributes in the game, what is your player going to strive to be the absolute best at? Why are you picking that specific attribute above all others?
I am looking to make an Auston Matthews type player build; focus on scoring but also playing a heavy-bodied game. I am not sure how this is going to translate into the sim, but that’s the vision I have for my build. In my final season in juniors, I started to develop into what I wanted for my player. I finished with almost 50/50 splits in goals and assists with less than 10 PIMS all season. I would like to get my scoring up and also lay more hits. This last season I was lacking in that department, and I think it affected my goal scoring.

TPE TPE TPE! This offseason like the rest, I am wanting to gain as much TPE I can. With the sim switch coming up, and my rookie year in the league, I want to have as much TPE possible to improve my player. I was just traded to Toronto and they have some ice-time open, so I am wanting to be in the best position to help my team. I also want to take some personal time and relax for a while. It’s been a long season with WJC and then the regular season/playoffs. Maybe go on a vacation somewhere remote and just go off the grid for a while, obviously still training though. I am not big into a lavish offseason, just concerned with my performance next season. Champions are made in the offseason, and I want to develop as much as I can. So this offseason, lots of training but also relaxing and taking it easy.

The SHL is taking a stand and trying to do its part in reducing its carbon footprint. One of the proposed ideas is to eliminate back and forth air travel during the Challenge Cup and Four Star Cup finals and instead hold all 4-7 games in one neutral, rotating location a la the Super Bowl. Are you FOR or AGAINST this idea? Why? AGAINST! Home ice advantage can be a huge thing in the playoffs and have it at a neutral location for more than one game would be a hassle for the fans. Also, I don’t think it will actually reduce the carbon footprint because more fans will drive/fly to the neutral venue for multiple games and that is causing more pollution. Also, I feel like it would be punishing the fans and I think it works for the Super Bowl because it is only one game, having a whole series would just not make any sense. Players have certain routines at home and they would be closer to their families.
