1. I don’t know much about the SHL since my player is still in the SMJHL, but I’ll give a shot at this anyway. I think it is pretty easy to say that in an alternate reality the Los Angeles Panthers could have made it to the challenge cup finals. In our reality, the Panthers were swept by the Edmonton Blizzard, but in this different reality, the Panthers were able to take the Blizzard to game seven and secure the win. They would find themselves in the finals against Hamilton Steelhawks. They’d still lose, though, of course. Hamilton was just too good to lose this season. Probably in no reality was there a finals that didn’t have Hamilton winning the Challenge Cup, to be honest. But, after all, what do I know, this is all hypothetical anyway. Actually, I change my mind. There is one reality in which the Steelhawks didn’t win. In that one, the Tampa Bay Barracudas won it. (3 TPE)

3. From Edmonton I would choose Tony Pepperoni as an award winner. I’d probably say they would win the Most Valuable Player award. Through the regular season they had fifty seven points coming from twenty four goals and thirty three assists. That is a team player if I’ve ever seen one. From Hamilton, I’d say either Flacko Lagerfield or Robert Phelps for the Most Valuable Player award. Both of them had an absurd amount of points and ended with very high +/- values. Lagerfield is the only person in the league this season to have more than seventy points during the regular season. That is some good stuff right there. (2 TPE)

7. Yes, this is easy. I would want Fred Wanesly to be a guest star on Top Gear (preferably with Clarkson, Hammond, and May). It would be really cool to talk about hockey and of Fred Wanesly’s love of cars. He’d tell some silly story about how he did something probably illegal in a car, as is tradition on that show. Then he’d get to drive around the track and see how his time compares to other celebrities. Overall, it would be a grand old time. British person doing British things on a British TV show. Who wouldn’t love to see that? (2 TPE)

8. Alright, here is my first ever attempt at doing SHL related graphics (3 TPE)

13. A)  Lagerfield is the best player in the Challenge Cup finals based on my own individual investigation. I don’t know anything about player attributes, but I don know out of all of the players in the finals, Lagerfield has the best Regular Season statistics. Therefore, in my expert opinion, Lagerfield is the best player in the Challenge Cup Final.
B) I think that speed and acceleration will be more useful that balance and strength. In my mind, I feel as though the combination of quick movement plus the ability to move at fast speeds is going to be a deadly combination that opponents will have to face. I give the edge to Edmonton
C) Left Wing - Flacko Lagerfield HAM. Right Wing - Robert Phelps HAM. Center - Aaaron Wilson HAM. Right Defense - Gabriel Johnson HAM. Left Defense - Tig Murphy HAM. Goalie - Emiko Spector EDM. These are the people I would choose to be on my all star line up or whatever I was supposed to be making. It may seem like they are all from Hamilton, but SURPRISE! The goalie is actually from Edmonton.
D) Snow. I love snow. Who doesn't? Snow means that the slopes are open and for those of you who don't know it, I volunteer at a ski resort during the winter. I volunteer as an adaptive snowsports instructor, which means I teach people with physical and/or mental disabilities how to ski, snowboard, and do other snowsport related things. So yeah, I love the snow. (4 TPE)
