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?

I think Park was Mr. Consistent this season. Throughout Park's entire tenure in the J he was a consistent defensive asset averaging a little under half a point per game. Really outside of shot blocks at almost 2 per game in S57 Park was essentially right at his career per game averages in all defensive categories. Park suffered offensively with less PP time, but Mr. Consistent surprised no one with his production and I am good with that. The team went up and down throughout my tenure in KEL so to say that I was able to be a steadying force is fine with me. Bringing this back to S57 it was my last a defenseman so I wish I did a little better to get some more serious consideration for a defensive award, but happy with the individual results. Next season in BAP as a forward I've gotta get pucks in net more than I did in S57. I know I'll have more opportunities to score so if I can keep up at 5% shooting, then all I have to say is hell yeah!

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?

I'd love to see a role where a player can elevate their performance and be clutch.. Not sure what I'd call the role and it would honestly be incredibly OP if it made it into FHM, but I like the idea of a player that can directly elevate their performance late in a game and win more faceoffs, or get 1 more stamina to take a longer shift and grind out the final few minutes to hold onto a 1-goal lead. This role would require more investment in mental stats so spending points there makes the player overall worse the rest of the time with the payoff of demonstrable improvement in certain situations.

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

It's gotta be QCC down in the J. Sure they got 16 more games, but they're still the first team to break 100 points and on top of it they finished with the 2nd best pt% in SMJHL history since the switch to FHM. Need another reason? Their 107 points put them at a .811 pt% and ANC was second with a .697 pt%. No other team in their league was even close to as dominant from start to finish in the regular season. The only reason they fell short of a finals appearance is because of a shit draw against that very same ANC team and FHM's dumb 12-team playoff format. Both teams in the finals play in the Western Conference, but QCC deserved their shot at history as the best team in the east by a wide margin.

12. Written, up to 4 TPE - Pick up to 4 Challenge Cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words.

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?

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

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

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?

a. If the regular season were a playoff series these two teams would need a game 7 thriller to crown a champion and I see this as no different. They were the two best teams in the league during the season and were separated by 5 points once things were all said and done. This is gonna be an incredible close series and I hope that it ends up being 3-3 so that we can have our game 7 for all the marbles.

b. Chicago has the power play advantage in this series. They didn't have any one guy dominate on the power play like Michael Scarn (11 goals) did for Hamilton. Instead they had three guys all finish with 9 or more PPG in the regular season. There is no one guy to key in on where you can say "If we stop him, we stop the power play" for Chicago. For a little added context Theo Morgan was second on Hamilton with 7 PPG and had 8 fewer PPP than Scarn did.

c. As a sucker for a good gold and yellow theme (except the Penguins, fuck those guys) I've gotta go with Chicago. Entering the league I had my eye on them as a potential destination in addition to Baltimore because who doesn't want to join a syndicate? I played the shit out of Assassin's Creed Syndicate and think it's a pretty solid name.

d. I'm completely out of the loop with the last two so if someone wants to fill me in I'm all ears. However, looking at Miller's player profile my mans is 5'10" so I think Miller and Park would make a pretty decent tag team reaching things on high shelves. Miller comes with an added bonus of only weighing 180 pounds so Park's 13 strength is plenty to put Miller on his shoulders and get things from those extra high shelves no man can do alone.
