Task #1 - Welcome Kelowna Knight fans to the S53 SMJHL final show down for the 4 Star Cup.  Come early and stay late to game three and  four at Prospera Place Arena.  The first 4,000 fans will receive a free Kelowna Knight puckhead featuring the teams colors and integrated goal light and goal horn.  Every time your favorite Knight lights the lamp, you get to light it with him and have a red light siren type swirl around your head and play your favorite goal horn through the two side speakers each giving out 60 decibels worth o goal horn havoc.

Task #2 - Looking at the East, I would of  preferred seeing a possible match up of Detroit versus St.Louis and the Crows taking this series in seven.  That would make for the other Eastern Conference  match up to be Newfoundland versus Carolina, and in this series the Berserkers would come out on top and win in 5 games and faceoff in the second round against the Crows.  In the Western Conference, swapping out the match ups, would make for a Kelowna versus Anaheim and I think that the Knights would still advance to the second round regardless and take out the Outlaws in dramatic fashion in 7 games.  The other match up would be played between the Colorado raptors and the Anchorage Armada.  Again the Raptors would fall to the hands of the Armada in a clean sweep.  Anchorage would advance to the 2nd round and faceoff against the Kelowna Knights.

Task #3 - I have for us going into this final showdown for the Four Star Cup between the Knights and the Falcons, 2 players who will be in each others faces for this best of seven series matchup.  From the Kelowna Kinghts we have RW- Kalevolaripaavo Kaspertommevisnapuu who in 9 games has racked up a league leading 12 points so far.  Adding to his stellar offensive game we find his league leading +8 and a GA/60 of 1,2 and an impressive GF/60 of 4,3.  he also has the highest shot count on the team at 32 shots on goal.  From the Detroit Falcons we have C- Luke McMaster who surprisingly leads the team in goals (5) and points (10) which ranks him among the best in the league at  4th overall.  His GF/60 is at 3,8 and his GA/60 is at 2,3.  

Task #4 - Sorry but I got to laugh at this one,  representing Kelowna none other than Justin Keahi and representing for the Falcons Toki Wartooth.  I chose Keahi simply because the guy has it in him and for some reason I have no doubt he can lay anyone out flat on the ice!  I chose Wartooth, for the simple reason to have the best of the best go head to head.  Wartooth dropped the mits twice in the regular season and won both, but this time he will go against a real tough guy and swallow his teeth!  Besides, I don't think Keahi plays fair, you were warned!

Task #5 - Plans have been set forth for some time now already, I will be heading back home to Montreal to spend enormous amounts of time with my family and loved ones.  My dad not in the best of shape and getting up there in age already has a list o things for me to fix or just simply get done (paint spare bedroom, redo ceramic in the kitchen and do some land scaping etc etc).  First and foremost topping his list is this Mulberry tree he has in the backyard of his home.  Been growing there for nearly 35 years and has seen some much better days.  He has asked me to cut her down as is has become old and dry.  He has even already purchased a brand new 24" Stihl gas chainsaw for me to christen on his behalf.   Once that's done, I do plan to visit the great National Parks aboard for some alone time and unplugged time.
