3 TPE: Trivia Verification: Yup

3 TPE: Prompt 1: It was an interesting season for Collin Gibbles. For the first time since our switch to FHM, I did not lead the league in Takeaways as I tried to shift to a slightly more offensive role on the team. I still ranked 3rd in the league so it was not a complete abandonment of the statistic, but no where near the dominance of last season. I also had a career FHM points high this season although I still landed in the mid 30s overall when the top of the league had almost double my totals. Like each season since the switch, I plan to have my player continuing to contribute and support my fellow players. As we have recently been calling up more and more actives, I do not have to take as much ice time to cover for IFA pylons. I hope next season I can manage to crack 40 points and we can get the team into the playoff picture. 

3 TPE: Prompt 2: I think the most memorable finals in recent memory would be the first post switch to FHM. We were all still learning a lot about the new systems and the playoffs were shortened causing a more condensed post season race. The Final match up of Hamilton against Edmonton was not a surprise as both had previously been top teams but we got to see two completely different teams on the ice opposed to the STHS era that resulted in many of the same builds on the ice. I don't think anyone was surprised to see Hamilton win the cup and cement that they were good enough to win regardless of the previous STHS controversy. Many top stars of today's SHL were also playing on the teams and it has been interesting to see how their careers have developed. One notable player who was a huge part of these Hamilton cup wins was Tig Murphy who now plays for Seattle.

2 TPE: Prompt 3: I think I can come up with the perfect Playoff format to satiate the needs of the Simulation Hockey League. Everyone always complains about not making the playoffs so from now on, everyone will make the post season. To not completely invalidate the regular season, the top team in each conference will be paid 3M to each player. I think the obvious structure then should have the top 2 teams in each Conference play each other in the first round as a play in round and then we proceed to a normal 16 team playoffs with seeding to allow the bottom teams a chance to make it to the finals. Let's make it single elimination for maximum chaos as well.

2 TPE: Prompt 5: I think the best team that didn't make the finals this season was Chicago. They have had an amazing season and playoffs leading up to their elimination and many were calling for them to go all the way this season. This is was the last season before their core starts to hit regression so they have a lot of players peaking in skill level and brought in key FAs to fill the holes in their lineup during the offseason. I think the amount of talent on the Syndicate roster and their performance one ice definitely tells a much different story that simply glancing at the playoff tree. I wouldn't be surprised to see them in the finals next season as the return with more experience and growth.
