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 am quite pleased with my on-ice performance throughout this season.  I wanted to keep my penalty minutes down to keep my team being down a man, and increase my assists and shot blocks.  I feel I succeeded in those areas.  I'm proud to block shots as a forward, as every shot blocked is one less for my goalie to handle.  I attribute that to my work ethic on and off the ice, I feel I really put in the work on disciplining myself to not take dumb 'mistake' penalties, while focusing on watching players handle the puck and know what to look for when they're about to shoot so I can effectively position myself to block their shot.  Something I'd like to see myself get better at is assists, as well as puck control/retention to reduce fumbles and give-aways.  As a two-way forward, I've focused a lot on my defensive play, so I think its time to put the work in on my offensive game.

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?

I am one-hundred per-cent in favor of any overseas expansion.  Europe is likely the obvious first choice, as many European nations already have a surfeit of players making their way to North America to play the greatest game on ice.  But, as someone interested in growing our game globally, I'm all for putting in the work to put teams in non-traditional markets to grown a fan base.  With team travel for games being the #1 concern for a lot of players, perhaps we could start with an affiliate League that plays one or two regular season games and has it's own division in playoffs to help incorporate it into the greater league without feeling so separate.
