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?

For it being Danny’s 2nd season in the SHL, it wasn’t bad offensively. Fewer goals, same number of assists. Defensively, the season was a disaster. A lot fewer hits, blocked shots, and way more giveaways. The only improvements were in number of shots on goal (accuracy was bad though) and in plus-minus. My goal was thirty points this season and to increase my defensive play skills. I did neither, on the whole. I really focused on defensive stats, and it didn’t really work out for my Playmaker role. I upped my hitting and checking, and Playmaker doesn’t focus on that as much as puckhandling, passing, and offensive read. The goal over the off-season and through next season is to build up my offensive and physical stats and get back to being a better Playmaker center. I will say that I’m glad to have brought my plus-minus up a lot, and that my point contributions didn’t fall off too much from last season. Still, it would be nice to have a better season in S57. 174 words

If the SHL needed to set up a playoff bubble (like the NHL did in Edmonton/Toronto or the NBA in Orlando), which city would be the best candidate to host as the hub city? What would the players do during their time in a playoff bubble? (For graphic option, make an advertisement [like a pamphlet/brochure] in support of a specific city as the hub city and highlighting the reasons why.)

I think if the SHL were to set up a bubble, Miami is the ideal place to do so. In canon, we reference current NHL and AHL arenas, so it stands to reason that the BB&T Center in Sunrise is a building that exists, as is the old West Kendall arena. Neither are being used for anything but can house hockey events. One arena could have had the lower-seeded teams while the other had the higher-seeded teams. Travel to Miami is also relatively easy. It has 2 international airports in the same county (Miami International and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International) for teams that would air travel, and 2 major interstates (I-75 and I-95) that end in the city for teams that prefer land travel. Also, in Miami tradition, there wouldn’t be a difference in fan turnout if the arenas are empty. Miami residents rarely, if ever, turn out to fill up half of an arena for a winning team anyway. 159 words
