This season was a tough one for both the Battleborn and myself, with neither group meeting their targets for the season. In particular I feel like I was poorly utilized and that put me in a bad position over the course of the season and my stat line suffered because of it. I was played the least out of any of our senior defensemen by an average of 3 minutes a game and playing on a lower pairing with weaker teammates left me with my lowest career point totals even with the additional 16 games this season. My +/- was atrocious despite being second in the league in blocked shots, which was the only real bright side to the season. I've put in a lot of work on getting in the way of the puck and this is my best total so far in my career as I tallied 145. Overall I would say this is a horribly disappointing season for me and I hope next season I'll have the chance to show what I'm capable of either in Nevada or somewhere else.

With the early exit in the playoffs I had some down time before checking into the world junior camp for Team Canada Red and so I headed home to Calgary to join some of the Dragons in their volunteering programs. As anyone who is familiar with the Dragons organization is aware, there is quite a few programs that they take part in around Calgary and I had three weeks before I had to start my journey out to Team Canada camp so I decided to spend a week on three different charities. Firstly, I joined some of the guys in visiting sick kids at the hospitals around Calgary. We pop in with some Dragons plushies, jerseys and other swag and take pictures with the parents and kids alike and sign whatever they like. It's a great way to put perspective on our lives and help put some smiles on some faces of people who really earned them. My second week was spent helping out the less fortunate. I doled out meals at a soup kitchen and was sorting clothes. Finally, I spent the last week joining the team in cleaning up the streets and parks of Calgary. Beautification is an important part of our city and we all chip in to make sure our town looks the best it can.

I may be biased in saying this but I think the Nevada Battleborn should have made it if not to the finals but at least much deeper into the playoffs then we did. We had arguably one of the deepest teams in the league with a lot of pre-season reports from multiple sources having us be the top team in the league. Obviously that's the way it goes sometimes but with the roster we had we should've been challenging for a championship this season. Our goaltending tandem was tops in the league, our defense looked very solid and our weakness in previous seasons, our offense, looked more then serviceable this year.

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?
Hamilton should have the advantage in the series as they have the experience of winning a championship under the new engine and most of their team is still intact, but Chicago has built a very deep roster and both teams have their share of superstars on their squads. I would have to say that the two teams are pretty evenly matched and the series could go either way.

c. Which of these two teams' brandings do you prefer? Take into account colors, logo, name, location, and anything else you consider relevant.
Hamilton has a good colour scheme and logo. Obviously Ontario is a hockey mecca and so being located in one of the suburbs is a good location to draw in crowds. Chicago is also one of the biggest cities in the USA and has a storied history of being passionate hockey fans so the base is good there. I have to say I prefer Chicago's branding as it pays homage to the history of the mob heritage the city had in the day and the colour scheme pops more to me and the logo is masterful.

Sachimo Zoidberg III would take an unconventional take on OnlyFans, that being that the content wouldn't be sexual in nature but more of a VLOG style with varying degrees of undress. Patrons could pay to get access to an in-depth look at workouts and other conditioning stints, and if you were interested in it you could pay extra to get that experience but with less clothing on right down to completely nude for the highest paying members. It would be a resource for a proper inside look at the diet and training of a pro athlete for people only interested in that and for those who were looking for more you would be able to admire the physique of a pro hockey player with the sound off if you choose. It can get lonely on the road so there could be some paid interactions for patrons who wanted to participate in activities of nature, but that would be worked out on a case by case basis.
