1. Written, 3 TPE (150 words min.)
Reflection on your season - how did your player fare on the ice this season? Did you meet or surpass your individual player goals or did you come up short? Whether you excelled or disappointed - what can you attribute that to? What will you try to do better next season?

This season was very disappointing. Coming off of an alright year, it looked like it was time to break out and show improvement. What I actually got was a shot blocking machine who would find his home on the penalty kill. It is not what I envisioned to be sure, but I do think it is welcome. The overall offensive production was replacement worthy. I ended the year with a measly seven points. This simply will not fly with me any longer. It is time for some upgrades. This season is the season of offense. I did not produce as I thought I would with how my stats are lined up. I need to get the right line chemistry to really shine with my passing ability. Maybe I should start shooting a bit more. It seemed to work out in the first few games, but I need it for a full season.

7. Written, 3 TPE
Write a sonnet about an SHL-related topic. Be sure to follow the proper ABAB-CDCD-EFEF-GG rhyme structure or your HS English (or equivalent any-language Writing teacher) will track you down and give you a failing grade.

SHL is the league of hockey
Of which we do play in
The path to victory can get rocky
This trophy is hard to win
But is there a team who can step up
And win this wild game
To win means to raise the cup
While others sit in shame
"Hooray we did it" we'll all shout out
As we sing the country's tune
For in this league there is no doubt
That we will be there soon
We don't play for fortune or the fame
We do it for the love of the game

Code:
8. Written (150 words min.) or Graphic, 3 TPE
With only one champion in the SHL and the SMJHL per season, that means the other 26 teams came up just a bit short (or a lot short). Team owners know that fans can get frustrated by shortcomings, so they're always trying to keep optimism high in the fan base. Written option: give an excerpt from an ousted team's owner's press conference at the end of the season focusing on the team's bright future or however they can keep fans' optimism high. Graphic option: the team has rented a billboard in town with an inspiring message to fans to keep optimism high; show the billboard (must include team logo and whatever the optimistic message is).

"Boys, we lost a lot this season. More than just games. We lost our newly minted captain at the deadline and sold off a lot of our top players. Coming into this season spirits were high with how much we grew over the last year. We were ready to take it all. Now that didn't happen. It sucks. It really does. We can sit here in this room and wallow in the pain of the season or... we can work on moving forward. That is what we need to do. We have a lot of young talent on this roster and it will not go to waste. Another big draft is coming up and more players will be added to this very locker room. We will welcome everyone with smiles and hope; the hope of finally pushing through this little rut of mediocrity and finally getting our shot. When I see you all come into this room to start the next season, I want to see each and every one of you giving it one hundred and ten percent out there. We are a team. We win as a team, we lose as a team. That is what we are. Not just one player or one line. We are a team and we are going to show that to the league."

Code:
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.
a. These are absolutely two of the best goaltenders in the league in Cain and Kryyst - which team has the advantage in net in this series?
b. There are two Johnsons in this series - Gabriel (HAM) and Darnell (NOLA). In fact, the two used to host the Johnson & Johnson Podcast together, but they're now on the ice as bitter rivals. Which team has the better Johnson?
c. The Specters won both regular season matchups, but Hamilton finished with better team stats overall. Do regular season head-to-heads provide an accurate forecast for a playoff series? (answer predictively if it hasn't happened yet; reactively if it has.)
d. If SDCore offered you an all-expenses paid week-long vacation to either New Orleans or Hamilton, which city would you choose to go to? (tough choice I know lol.) How would you spend your time there?

a. Both of these goalies are top notch, cream of the crop kinda guys. If I had to pick one to get an edge in this matchup, it would have to be Kryyst. His goals against average is over a half a goal lower than Cain. He also has the better save percentage by 0.01. Just looking at the numbers shows that Kryyst is the better goalie on paper.

b. Both Johnsons are defencemen, but the comparisons stop there. Gabriel is that offensive defensemen who works the point and quarterbacks the powerplay. Darnell is a grittier player and is throwing his body around a lot more. Gabe has the better overall totals so I would have to say that he is the "better" Johnson.

c. Matchups are huge in this kind of game. A team can go out and beat everyone else, but if the team you are playing in the big time has your number, there isn't much you can do. Hamilton is the better team by far, but having that season series loss to New Orleans hanging over their heads is concerning to be sure.

d. Is this really a choice? Louisiana is just way too hot and muggy for my taste. New Orleans is just super crowded too, especially during Mardi Gras. Hamilton is the way to go. You have a great view of Lake Ontario, and just a short distance away is Niagara falls and the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. It isn't as touristy but it is the better choice.
