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?

Coming into the SHL as a rookie I didn’t expect much for my player, but I gotta say I was quite pleased with how it all turned out. I started the season with less than 800 TPE so expectations were really low, I was afraid of being a detriment to the team. While my advanced stats aren’t the strongest, and I got the benefit of playing for a contending team, I think I held my own. I finished 3rd in rookie points, 2nd in rookie goals, and tied for most game winning goals by a rookie. All this was accomplished while playing on the 3rd line with two sophomore players, and getting no special teams time. I can only take some of the credit on that though as I am just a tool, Keygan and Tommy do a fantastic job of putting everything together. Coming into next season I might work on my defensive game, maybe get a little stronger and be aggressive on the other side of the puck. Might. (172 words)

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

My predictions for the IIHF tournament is an easy road to the gold medal for Team Canada. These guys are going to have another monster effort bringing home the only acceptable hardware. I don’t follow IIHF teams very closely other than Canada so it’s hard to say how the rest will shake out. It’s all pretty irrelevant anyways. Im just going hazard some guesses as other than Latvia and GBR, I don’t see any other teams announcing their roster yet. I expect another strong tournament by GBR and the United States and I wouldn’t be surprised if these guys end up on the podium with Canada. GBR has Jon Forty-One who really found their game this season as an assist machine and if paired with the right line mates can do a lot of damage. USA has another two of my teammates in Julio Tokolosh and Barret Blackwood who are going to cause a lot of problems for opposing teams’ defenders and I wouldn’t be surprised if Tokolosh leads the tournament in scoring.

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?

Both teams had incredible seasons with only 5 points separating them in the standings. However, if I was a betting man, I would bet that Hamilton wins this series and it doesn’t go more than 6 games. It would be nice if Hamilton updated their team history, but I feel like every season Hamilton is in the finals as this is their 4 appearance in the last 5 seasons. I hope Chicago surprises me though and they take the Cup. (81 words) Edit: Boy was I wrong

b. Each of these teams boasts a very strong first powerplay unit - which team has the special teams advantage in this series?

I think the team that can stay out of the box the most is going to find the most success but even PIMs seem pretty even between the two teams. Chicago was the 2nd best powerplay team in the regular season going 29% with the man advantage while being the best on the PK at 88%. Hamilton was 4th on the PP with 26% but 7th on the PK killing off 81%. Both PPs are lethal but Chicago has the better PK so I’d give them the advantage. (89 words)

c. Which of these two teams' brandings do you prefer? Take into account colors, logo, name, location, and anything else you consider relevant.

I’ve been to Hamilton and I’ve been to Chicago. To visit and take in the city while trying to catch a hockey game, I’d pick Chicago every time. I like the tie in to the mob with the name Syndicate, it’s a lot more menacing then a Steelhawk. I love the black and yellow look of the Chicago home jersey and the white gloves of the away scheme looks nice. Hamilton’s logo and colours don’t wow me. Seattle must really have liked Hamilton’s jersey and colours though because the two teams basically have the same jersey with minor differences… (100 words)

As my last PT prompt ever I am happy to claim creative license here and do this prompt that no one is allowed to get mad at me because it's my last PT prompt ever.
Many athletes have created OnlyFans accounts recently, including Bec Rawlings, Plaxico Burress, and Adi Spiegelman - if your SHL player created an account what premium content are fans around the world subscribing to see? It doesn't have to be sex stuff but it doesn't not have to be :o Would your player be successful on this platform? No graphic option for this one! Goodbye!

I cannot waste an opportunity with this prompt but I will apologize in advance for how uncreative my ass is.

Kyle Sutton is rendered after Kyle Palmieri and we all know how much of a stud Palmieri is so it makes sense that Sutton would start an OnlyFans account with expectations of instant success. As to what content people would be subscribing to, probably a lot of pictures of Suttons knob, shaft, heels, and toes. There would be videos of Sutton cranking one out in various public places. Kyle Sutton would seek out the most interesting bushes of all different shapes, sizes, and colours he can find from the cities he visits while playing. Would Sutton find success though? Its hard to say, are people interested in seeing what new stick Sutton is using and how he is currently taping it? He could use some funky tapes of colours and patterns and through on some unique tape jobs. Maybe people would like to see Sutton’s shot release in random places and seeing him make some tough bank shots through random objects? Who isn’t into a well trimmed bush though. (169 words)
