With everyone getting a free redistribution this offseason, S54 is quite wide open at the moment. Before those redistributions take place, who would you anticipate being the top team(s) for next season?

Honestly, with free redistribution I think you aren't going to see many teams move to many slots. I think Buffalo and Hamilton will still reign supreme in the East and Edmonton and Los Angeles will reign supreme in the West. The biggest movement and shake ups will happen in the middle of the divisions. You will see teams get more "well-rounded" so Chicago could make a leap, the same with New Orleans. This will help these teams the most. It will be interesting to see what a team like Manhattan or San Francisco do as well. San Francisco was very close to the playoffs, so they could very well switch a few players and make a strong push against New Orleans. Manhattan vs Chicago, looks to be the newest rivalry as they are going to fight it out for the last playoff spot again I have a feeling next season. Hamilton, Buffalo, and New England look to be locks to me again.

Come up with a program of intermission entertainment for one of the games of the finals. What's the between-period on-ice entertainment the fans will enjoy? The goofier the better, go crazy.

On ice during the intermissions the Simulation Hockey League presents... Dancing with the stars, but these are not your ordinary stars no, these are your stars of the Simulation Hockey League. In the middle of the period, your favorite Simulation Hockey League stars are going to come out on the ice and instead of hockey, they are going to figure skate. Competing today, we will have from the Calgary Dragons... Mike Izzzzzzyy. From the Buffalo Stampede, the one, the only, Pooooopity Sccoooop. From the New England Wolfpack, the otter himself... Ekko Van Otter. Finally, representing the Minnesota Chiefs, COLLLLLINNN GIBBBLESS!!! So now that the entrants are introduced, we will talk about what they need to accomplish. All skaters will go through challenges to see who can perform the best. They will be skating in pairs and will have the ability to do a full dance routine. They can choose how fancy, technical, or dance it will be. They are required to be in figure skating outfits.

13. Written, up to 4 TPE Pick up to 4 Challenge Cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words to qualify.

a. Who is the best player in this CC finals? Plenty of good candidates: Lagerfield, Phelps, Kryyst, McIntry, Pepperoni, Scholz, etc. Who's your choice for best player and why?

Tony Pepperoni is the best player in my opinion in the challenge cup finals. He has been a top player in the league for a long time and this has continued this season. He is able to pass as well as he can score. He has been the best player on Edmonton for a long time and their success is largely because of him.

b. Based on player ratings, EDM has the advantage in speed and acceleration and HAM has the advantage in balance and strength. Which team's physical skills will give them the edge in this series?

Balance and Strength are the far superior physical attribute. They allow you to stay on the puck, remove the puck from players, and also help with your positioning. They might be the two best attributes in the league, which is a crazy difference from how the league was structured before. Physicals are so important now.

c. Assemble your ideal fantasy team out of players in this series - F, F, F, D, D, G. Explain your choices.

Flacko Lagerfield, Tony Pepperoni, Robert Phelps, Tig Murphy, Tor Tuck, EDM Goalie.

Flacko, Tony, and Roberts are the easy choices here. They are the best 3 fantasy players in the series. Tig Murphy is the best fantasy defensemen and then I went Tor Tuck and the Edmonton goalies, cause I think they are just a bit more reliable, but you could go either way.

d. Blizzard... snow... ok debate time - do you like snow? yes or no? why or why not?

I love the snow, mostly because I grew up with the snow, but then left it. So now whenever it snows where I am traveling I can expect it and it doesn't really ruin anything. It is nice to have the option of snow, but you don't have to live with it. So snow is a yes, if you don't HAVE to have it.
