Task #16: Verification Word - Nuggets

Affiliation: PBE PT - AW13

Task #2: The Vancouver Whalers are known for being an interesting team and this year's commerative playoff item is no different from their interesting ways. This year in their first home playoff game the team gave away commemorative playoff thongs to both the men and the ladies to emphasize the 'Whale Tail' side of things. They could be shot out on the ice after goals, waved around as a rally towel sort of thing or even worn for team support under or over clothing! It was a hell of a time in the arena and a lot of fans got a chuckle over it so I think it was a winning promotion! Such a Whalers thing to do!

Task #4: Rikki Petrov is always known for his giving nature's especially when it comes to charities and helping others! There are two charities that Rikki Petrov is associated most closely with and that is helping local animal shelters as he loves animals, caring for them and helping them find homes. Petrovs volunteers to go help at the shelters to give the animals love and care as well as help set up adoptions for their forever homes. Through a concentrated effort between the Whalers and Petrov, there have been record numbers of animal adoptions around the Vancouver and greater British Columbia area and that is a huge thing. The animal shelters are not inundated with animals and families are getting loving pets for their homes. The second thing Rikki Petrov is heavily involved with is Fight Hunger charities as he believes that these are very important. No one should go hungry so Petrov donates both time and money to working for these causes. He is a monthly contributor to the cause and also has worked to set up multiple food drives to help the less fortunate. He really has done a lot for his charities and looks to continue that as an SHL pro player as well.

Task #8: Overall, while I wasn't over the top happy with my performance I would still say I'm pretty content with how the season turned out both on a personal level as well as on a team level. Rikki Petroc had a lot of solid games during the season to help Vancouver have some hot streaks during the season and even advance in the playoffs when 'Playoff Rikki' came out to play. It was pretty fun being a two-way center and overall I think what I had hoped for was true. Not expecting a huge role, for a third line center, Petrov had solid hit numbers as well as overall assist numbers as well which is what I was hoping for and those expectations got met. I think also for the most part Rikki was over 50 percent on his faceoffs as well which was a big thing I wanted to do to help the team get possession whenever we could. I continue to look forward to Petrov's growth in the league. I think for his game he just needs to keep improving at what he is already good at and that will help him go a long way. He could be the next great two-way center in the SHL!

Task #9: When I think of an actual fight between some Vikings and Lumberjacks, I don't think there is even a challenge here. Vikings were known for being pillagers and conquerors while Lumberjacks just cut some trees for some paper companies and stuff or to make some firewood. Vikings, at least when I think of them are also in possession of axes, usually more of a battle ax than a woodcutting ax and that is a huge difference. I'd like to see a lumberjack in his flannel shirt go toe to toe with an armor clad Viking with a battle ax. Vikings win 10 times out of 10 here, it's not even close.
