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 mean I really can’t put into words how insane my season went, especially when comparing to my horrific first two seasons in the J. To be able to break the all time record in most shutouts, save percentage, and 2nd best GAA ever is going to be pretty tough to beat next season. I'm just going to try to keep building as much as I can. Considering my first two seasons were .869 and .906, it is safe to say I was pretty excited that my hard work the past two seasons paid off. It also helped that myself and 4 of our defensemen have been together now for 3 seasons so I think this season our chemistry really took to another level and it showed by how amazing our defense was in the regular season. Unfortunately it didn’t go well in the playoffs but that’s just how playoffs be sometimes. We gained some valuable lessons this season and are looking forward to making a deeper run next season.

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?

We have a lot of Europeans on this site so I can definitely see why it is a popular idea but there is a reason why no professional sports have teams in different continents playing in one league. It’s because it would be miserable to travel to a vastly different timezone in a sport that plays many games per week such as hockey. It just wouldn’t be realistic to include another team elsewhere because of that reason alone. Honestly I don’t even think a team should be in Mexico either because I’m not even sure if that county knows what hockey is? I appreciate the HO keeping the team time zones reasonable because it already is bad enough to travel to Alaska in the J let alone another country.

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?

Oh easily the best TikTok in the league would belong to the one and only chad of the SHL/SMJHL, Bork Lazer. The dude only knows how to make jokes and I think would bring some great insight to what goes on behind the scenes plus I’m sure his daily routine is a riot as well. I could see the content ranging from calling out who he wants to challenge in a fight next to just him telling you what kind of groceries he usually gets for his pre game meals. Dude is a chad at everything and would be a great follow for all the tik tok users out there.

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?

b. In the two regular season matchups, each team won once at home. Do you expect the results to reflect a home ice advantage in this series?

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?

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

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

a) I think NOLA has the defensive edge in this one just solely based on experience only. During the regular season BUF only gave up 98 goals to NOLA’s 120 but BUF was also playing in a much weaker division so I’m sure that helped some. The goalie experience level (Cain vs Doyle) is going to be interesting to see and I think Cain’s championship experience swings this one to NOLA defensively

c) I don’t think the fighting and aggression will matter much in this series. During the regular season NOLA only got into 2 fights and BUF only got into 1 fight. No one won a fight either so I’m not sure the team would be really willing to try and get a momentum swing going their way when they’re not confident about their fighting abilities.

d) This is an extremely hard one to pick because there are lots of good names but I’m going to go with Eko van Otter. First, the name Eko I have never heard before and think it’s a great unique name. Always a fan of uniqueness. Then van Otter just sounds like a strong family name that used to be musical composers in like the 1400s. Pretty awesome

e) The coolest animal is definitely Kirby. I mean all the animals on the list are definitely awesome animals but even though Kirby is a strange Nintendo animal, it can literally turn into any animal, or thing, it wants to. So all those other animals that are listed in the list could be also a Kirby therefore Kirby is definitely the superior animal here.

Welp, you waited until the last day to grind out your CW and the CC finals are longggggggg over by now. congrats to [TEAM], woo! Reflecting back on the series, who gets your vote for series MVP? Make the case why this player deserves it over any other.

It is safe to say that Monkey D. Luffy is quite easily the MVP of not only the SHL season but the Finals and Playoffs as well. The beastly winger led the regular season in points, the playoffs in points, and the finals in points. A pretty insane stat and I wonder how many other times that has happened before. He even won the series with the game winner in game 7 IN OVERTIME. Pretty awesome storyline to be honest. Another shoutout to Elizabeth Doyle as well who also had an incredible breakaway save to keep the game tied in overtime. Goalies don’t get a lot of love in MVP votes but had to give a mention to that there.
