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?

Well hotdog, do you really need to ask that question? You are in the anchorage discord. This was one hell of a season, we started off pretty cold compared to other seasons, and the Gabe hate picked up. After the first ten games anchorage finally started winning some games. However there was always one roadblock, quebec city.. They would have our number all season, until the playoff that is. That is when the Armada got the last laugh, and beat them in game seven of the playoffs. Last but not least was Anaheim, and not to be rude but they were a cake walk compared to quebec. Winning the four star cup in my final season is a huge relief, as we should have won in previous seasons as well. My personal performance was alright during the regular season, however it was much better during the playoffs, and I am happy I could end my junior career on a high note. Go Boats.

Over the offseason your player is getting involved in some charitable causes. What is your player/team doing around the community/for charity this offseason?

Well fresh off the four star cup, I want to give back to the people of Anchorage. How you may ask? Well the first will be hosting free chicken tendie day once a month for all our fans. People can come out to the area and pick up their free order of chicken tendies fresh out of the deep fryer. They will have choices of bbq, ranch, and buffalo for dipping sauce.

The second charity event I will be hosting is providing free pushes on their local community swing set. I will go to different schools, and give each person 3 pushes on the swing. After that they will be responsible for pumping their way to the moon.

The final charity event will be signing a bunch of merchandise to have auctioned off and have the proceeds donated to a local charity or food bank that needs the help during the tough times covid has brought on upon everyone.

What's your prediction for this season's IIHF tournament? Which teams do you expect to do well (or not well)? Which players?

I think you can always expect the top dogs to do well as they do in every tournament, Canada, USA, Sweden and yes occasionally Japan finds a way to be at the top of the standings the last couple of seasons. One team that may make a jump up the standings this season is Austria. Austria has a young core backed by some top end players like Esa Parmborg. However, Austria's young core is just now starting to unbank their junior tpe which will allow them to add a large amount of tpe to their roster over the couple of seasons. I think you can expect Austria to be competitive this season, while aiming to be a power house team in 2 to 5 seasons. On the poor performing side of the standings I think Ireland will continue to struggle, and same with Latvia. These two teams once were very competitive, however the last 5 seasons have seen them fall off a cliff.

a. The season series between these two teams was tied 3-3. Do you think either team has an advantage in this series or do you see it as a true toss up?
Well as you stated the season series is tied at 3, suggesting neither team has a true advantage. If one team had a true advantage they would have the lead in the season series. I think it will ultimately come down to which team gets the best night sleep on game days, rest is key to winning this series.

b. Each of these teams boasts a very strong first powerplay unit - which team has the special teams advantage in this series?
I think hamilton boasts the special team advantage, and its quite easy to explain why based on the stats. If we look at the index and filter by powerplay points Hamilton has 3 out of the top 4 players which is quite impressive, and shows that their top unit is functioning at a high level.

c. Which of these two teams' brandings do you prefer? Take into account colors, logo, name, location, and anything else you consider relevant.
Hamilton once again is my pick for this question. I feel like the black and yellow is overused, the bruins, the steelers all the same. Hamilton stands out a little more, and I believe their SHL merchandise sales are also higher then Chicagos, so the people have spoken. Hamilton has the better branding.

d. Would you rather get a lap dance from Hugh Jazz, have a staring contest with Luke Atmey (velv's old player), reach for objects on high shelves with Dale Miller, or play League with Parker Smeb?
Whoever doesn't pick lap dances is clearly lying to you, we all like a great show and let me tell you Hugh Jazz is a great performer, with some great assets. He has great eye contact, and really vibes with the music being played, id pay a great price to have a lap dance form Hugh.
