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?

Hmm well it’s been another strange season again for myself as I continue on this roller coaster of becoming a good goaltender in the league. Was hoping that my record breaking and MVP season would continue but seems I was back to my old self with a .060 save percentage drop. A lot of it I think was because our team wanted to get some starts to our backup goalie Chimkin Tendy since he will be taking the reigns next year since I’m off to the SHL. So it was probably a good season to get used to how next season will go with now myself going to be a backup goalie in the SHL for a bit. Though when I got funneled with starts last season I got in a groove so just have to figure out a way to compete when I’m not the starter every game of the season. To be determined on the roller coaster of what is becoming Scoochie patented goaltending..

FHM's 12-team playoff bracket setup has received a fair bit of scrutiny. It re-seeds after the play-in round and for some reason puts the #1 seed and #2 seed on the same side of the bracket. I challenge you to come up with a different playoff format - can you come up with a format that's dumber/worse than this? be creative! Come up with the worst possible format for a 12-team playoff.

So I’m not sure if this is better or worse but what if the SHL was a double elimination style bracket and we got rid of conferences and divisions all together? Would be kind of like a gaming championship style I’d imagine. The top 10 teams would face off against each other with 1vs10, 2vs9, etc. and then the losers would then play each other again. I think this could be a cool way to generate more interest in the league since people will be able to see their team play in the playoffs more and could make for some exciting comebacks in the lower bracket. Also getting rid of divisions would be great…

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

Obviously I have to unfortunately talk about how the Anchorage Armada did not make it to the finals this season. I think the SHN had us at like a 70% chance or something against Newfoundland based off the stats but it seems our season continued to be extremely poor luck wise with an average team PDO of around 97. I think it was even less in that series too. Just sometimes you go across a stretch as a team where no shots are going in no matter what you do and we just couldn’t get past that as a team. Vancouver would’ve been a tough team to beat either way, but would’ve been fun to try.

The arenas in Buffalo and Hamilton want to make sure they're pulling out all the stops on the big stage. Help the concessions department of one of these two teams develop a new product, with marketing specifically pertaining to this finals series, to be sold at the arena during the finals. Describe the product and the marketing in 150 words or create a promotional poster showing the product, its name, the price, etc.

What is better than having ice cream at a hockey game? Well nothing else in my opinion. So a couple ideas I had for player themed treats. For the Hamilton Steelhawks my idea is to have some Hamilton SteelPops. Hit the Hamilton fans with the freeze pops! There would be two flavors of these freeze pops one would definitely have to be blueberry for the blue in Hamilton colors. The other freeze pop would be silver but this flavor would be mystery flavor so could be like strawberry, grape or orange. For the Buffalo Stampede I think this one would be player themed instead of team themed. I think for this one they would have the Poopity Scoop of ice cream. His name is much too perfect to not use for an ice cream themed night. I think the flavor for this would also be Rocky Road because I think you know why. Would be a major hit in Buffalo for sureee

a. Both of these teams have an impressive set of skaters - without factoring in any coaching or tactical strategies, which team do you think has the better roster of skaters on paper?

b. Do you foresee the teams making any strategic adjustments during the course of the series? Should the teams be quick to switch tactics or stick with what they've been using?

c. These two teams hail from the Great Lakes Division. Which of the Great Lakes (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior) do you think is the Greatest and why?

d. If, once it is safe to do so, you had to go hang out in person with one of the users on Buffalo/Hamilton, who would you hang out with and what would you do? (if you pick gabe you get -1 tpe)

c) I was really trying not to pick Lake Superior, because of the name of course, but it is just so dramatically more big than the others that you just have to pick it as the greatest. Lake Superior is so big that it can contain all the other Great Lakes plus three more lakes the size of Lake Erie. So ya that thing is phat and the greatest lake easily.

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.

Honestly it is hard to give out a MVP this series because Hamilton did not have a particularly stand out player. They won the series based off what they have been doing like all season, which is to play a very team wide game with their deep lineup. Their 2nd line I believe is the highest TPE line in the league so it showed this playoffs how much having two deep lines can give you. If I had to give one person it’d have to be monstrous Theo Morgan. He had some big special team goals and you always need those when competing for the cup.
