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?

I did very well for a lot of this season. Then I didn't score a point for 10 games. So that sucked. I did better than I had in previous seasons, but I fell short of my potential which is disappointing. I have been doing well in the playoffs so far however. Next season I will be called up to Buffalo, to team up with Alexander Roach and Jaska Seppala, assuming we are on the same line. My hope is to just feed the goal scoring machine that is Seppala. He had a down season, but I know he will be back and become one of the leading goal scorers in the league in his prime. My passes had been on point, considering my 2nd highest OGR of 72 in the regular season. So I think what I need to work on his my shooting. As a playmaker, sometime the right play is to take the shot, but an abysmal 6% shooting leaves me as a liability.

It's too late for this go-around of expansion, so hypothetically - should there be SHL franchises in other continents? I saw some interesting European proposals in the PT. Should these - or proposals for any other continent that's not North America - 

 become a reality in the SHL?

There should absolutely be teams on other continents. I think Montreal is a big elephant in the room, but once that is out of the way we should be seeing teams in London, Paris, Stockholm, Berlin, wherever. The DSFL already has the London Royals and Tijuana Luchadores. There's no reason we can't put a franchise where we want when there's no actual travel constraints. There would be more opportunities for creativity, and more inclusion for members of the site in other countries. Hockey is big in Russia, why not put something there? Perhaps Andrei will find Sergei if only we would expand to Russia? Forget the Cleveland Cleans, we can have the Moscow Cleans.

Which SHL or SMJHL team was the best team to not make the finals this season and why?

The best team to not reach the SMJHL finals is the Anchorage Armada. The Armada were spooky as hell in the regular season, third in points and third in Goals For. Their top line had the league best corsi rel% which everyone knows means they should be unbeatable. But most importantly, they posted the lowest Goals Against of any team with a disgusting 89. We in Newfoundland were dreading the possibility of facing the brick wall that was Scoochie Stratton. Fortunately for us, he crumbled in the playoffs and we only have to deal with a scary Kelowna team or a Cinderella monster in Maine.

6. Written, 2 TPE (100 words min.) The world's hottest app is TikTok - which SHL or SMJHL player would have the biggest following on TikTok? What do they post there?

I think I, Steve Harrington, would have the biggest following. I would have a lot of fans of Stranger Things that would follow me for any bit of knowledge about the series. Then I would have an entire other fanbase from hockey that would follow me. I would probably post videos of the boys losing at fall guys, or following Andrei around and just recording the things he does. When I make the jump to SHL there will be no doubt that I am the most popular hockey player in the world. And I will have the skills to pay the bills.

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. Both of these teams have stacked defenses - which team do you think has the defensive advantage in this series?

Is this a meme prompt? Cassius Darrow and Alexander Selich are both around 2k TPE. Poopity Scoop almost 1900. Combo'd with 1400 WANG20 and backed up by 1200 Owens and Vanderberg.
Their counterparts? A washed up Kirkby is their star going up against Scoop at 1900. Odelein III and Claude have 300 less TPE each than Selich and Darrow. Their bottom 3? Old man Smyth who can get knocked out by WANG. Then TPE devoid Johnson and Serpe is just a joke.

c. Based on FHM player ratings, New Orleans has higher average ratings in bravery, aggression, and fighting? Will that toughness have any impact on this series?

Yes, New Orleans will regret spending all their TPE on playing goon squad instead of scoring. The toughness comes from not resorting to cheap tricks to win, and banging out wins the old fashioned way - with style and skill. I expect Buffalo to take advantage on the power plays the will inevitably be on.

d. What is your favorite name from a player appearing in this series? Why do you like that player's name?

The best name in the series is easily from Buffalo. Hippo Passamus, Poopity Scoop, and Eko van Otter are great names. But I think my favorite would have to be Hippo Passamus. It's a great play on words that also describes exactly the type of player he is. The hippo does pass.

e. There are several animal names in this series - which of these animals is the coolest? sloth, hippo, otter, monkey, fox, kirby.

I have like 32 Otter emojis so I'm gonna go with otter. I play for the Orange County Otters in ISFL which is great. Otters in general have a lot of great media presence. You don't really see hippos, monkeys, or foxes doing much. Sloths are overdone and not really the type of animal you want playing hockey. Is Kirby its name or species? I guess I like playing Kirby in smash so that gives him some credit.
