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?

Kaapo Kampainen's season was definitely better than the last, I'm not going to lie, although I think his offensive stats were a little underwhelming considering who he was playing with. He shared his third line minutes with Asclepius Perseus Flitterwind, who was fifth in the league in points, but Kampainen only managed 34 points in 66 games, while boasting a -11 differential, which is quite underwhelming for a two-way center who wants to focus on his defensive game. Perhaps the most disappointing stats were the three powerplay point despite having solid power play minutes. Kampainen's development is far from over, but he expected a bit more from his sophomore SMJHL season. With most of the Outlaws core leaving the Juniors, this could give better minutes to Kampainen, so next season could be better. Still, his S57 numbers are way better than his three points in twenty eight games from S56. Kaapo will work on his offensive game and his hockey IQ in the offseason in order to try to decrease his turnovers and improve his overall play.

Create a new skater or goalie role for FHM. In what scenarios is this new player role best utilized? What attributes are considered important attributes to this new role, and why? Which attribute is the key one?

A new role I wish I could create for a skater in FHM is a pest, you know, a Brad Marchand type of player. The player could use his high speed to move quickly around the ice to get into scuffles quickly and it would allow him to pester the opponents quickly. The aggression and bravery attributes are also important, because he would need to get under the skin of a lot of players, usually way bigger than him, so it would take a lot of guts. The key attribute would be bravery, as it takes a lot of courage to annoy the other team as the player would risk trouble and get into fights, even if he isn't a good fighter. This player would be good to break the opponent's momentum by drawing penalties for the opposing team.

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?

Following the SMJHL season and the WJC tournament, Kaapo Kampainen went back to his native Finland to help fight the COVID-19 epidemic. A smart player on the ice, Kaapo is a trained medical practioner and he uses his training to work in various nursing homes and hospital across Finland to help fight the deadly epidemic. While Finland isn't the most affected country by the pandemic, Kaapo felt like he had to help the people in need instead of laying on a beach somewhere. In addition to his medical work for the community, Kaapo is devoting a good part of his free time to a charity helping kids in need to have access to sports, especially hockey. Kaapo was blessed with a wealthy background and he feels kids shouldn't be privileged if they want to play the beautiful sport that his hockey, so that's why he's giving part of his salary to the charity and he organizes training camps in the offseason to help younf Finnish kids to get better, without paying astronomical amount to get to the next level.

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

The Quebec City Citadelles were probably the best team in the SMJHL not to make the finals, after they were stopped in the semi-finals by the Armada Anchorage. Victim of the SMJHL playoff format that put the two best regular season teams against one another in the semi-final, Quebec, who were the best regular season team, fell short of the finals against the eventual champions. Led by league leading scorer Zdenko Beranek and Jst Maro and the probably the best goalie tandem in the league in Mat Smith and Tyler Ward, Quebec was the best team not to reach the finals in the SMJHL this year. It remains to be seen if they can repeat their regular season in S58.

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

I think the Hamilton Steelhawks' logo looks slicker and is overall a better look than the Chicago Syndicate. While I appreciate the mafia throwback with Chicago's logo, I just can't stand the mustard yellow on a hockey jersey. It just reminds me of the god awful Nashville Predators mustard jersey and that's not a good look for a hockey team. Hamilton's logo is a little more generic, but I like the color scheme more. If Chicago's colors were different, my answer would change, but I just can't get past the yellow.

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!

If Kaapo Kampainen were to launch an OnlyFans account, it wouldn't be to show of his body or to flash his wealth or anything like that, as Kampainen is a quiet person who doesn't like to make waves. He would most probably post tutorials of hockey plays or tips and tricks to help players improve their game the Kampainen way. He would also post his diet and training plan so players could be in the same shape Kaapo is. It is worth mentioning that during the Outlaw's grueling schedule last season, Kampainen was of the most utilized forward due to his high stamina and general fitness. Kaapo is uncomfortable with money, so he would probably keep his OnlyFans free so everyone would be able to access it, or he would just charge a small fee and donate all the revenue from the account to charity. To be honest, Kampainen is not the best SMJHL player by a mile and isn't the most popular at all, so I'd be surprised if his account was a success, but he would most probably have fun doing it.
