6. Game 1 of the finals. Period 1 ends. 22 midgets run out onto the ice, all wearing regular shoes, not ice skates. 11 midgets in red and the other in blue. Then, out comes 2, 6'6 strong man competitors. 10 midgets line up in a bowling pin order on either side of the ice just in front of the goal. The remaining 2 midgets act as pins as the bigger men hurl them at the 'pins'. The audience then has to guess which side is going to win. They are able to place bets and gamble using their smartphones on a secured platform. Money is on the line and will be sure to attract everyone's attention. The idea is so solid that ESPN picks it up and makes it a national sport. The coin this goofy game as 'Midget Bowling'. The SHL receives all of the credit and spotlight hurling itself past the NHL and into stardom. (157 words)

7. Cillian has already auditioned for an extra on Netflix's hit tv show, Peaky Blinders. Based in Birmingham, UK not far from where Cillian was born he thought this would be a perfect fit. Even though Cillian has not heard back yet our hopes are high. With Season 6 in the works the show will be needing extras so why not a future SHL Irish goaltender? Surely a good looking man in his early 20's like Cillian could be slotted in the show maybe even along side the show's lead Cillian Murphy. Cillian & Cillian? I think we might have something here producers. Let's make it happen. (106 words)

A. This is a tough one, I think I'm going to have to go with Lagerfield who won the scoring race this season. Being an elite passer and scorer is really the ultimate team player and someone you would want on your top line. A quick runner up for me is Tony Pepperoni who is a big body who throws himself around at other guys on the ice and still manages to have the skill to fill the net. (78 words)
B. I would give the edge here to Hamilton. Speed and acceleration are extremely important and I will also give a nod to being physical especially come playoff time. I saw first hand from this season's SMJHL playoffs that being physical in a defensive war will help you win games. The better ratings from Hamilton don't lie and I believe it gives them the edge in the speed and hitting war. (70 words)
C. Flacko Lagerfield, top scorer this season. Tony Pepporoni, ability to score and throw the body around on the ice. Assist machine in Aaron Wilson getting Pepperoni and Lagerfield the puck as he did all season. Karlstrasse Scholz and Murphy who have been huge on their respective teams' blue lines this season and have helped keep the puck out of the net. Geezus Kryyst gets the nod for me in goal posting an outstanding  2.11 GAA and a .915 SAV% this season. (81 words)
D. I do love snow. Snow brings cold whether which means pond hockey. I used to play as a kid with all the other kids in my neighborhood which ultimately helped spark my love for the sport. Used to love sled riding with my younger sisters and making igloo's in the front yard collecting all the snow from the rest of my yard. Unfortunately with this whole global warming crisis occurring we haven't had a good snow in a long time. (80 words)
