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 have had 3 players in the SHL and Jasper is by far my most successful so far. He has done well beyond what I expected this season. I did think I would do decently because I reached the 425 tpe cap but I didn't expect things to go this well.
I mean, Québec as a team did incredibly well so I definitely benefited from that but we still had to build the players and mine helped for sure. I really have to credit Faelax for my success because I told him the kind of player I wanted to have and he helped me build him to perfection. Jasper has been racking up points and isn't incompetent on defense. I think it will be really hard to surpass next season and it's difficult to predict how my team will perform. A lot of my teammates are going up to the SHL so whether or not I'll have the same chemistry with another partner is not a guarantee. Winning the 4 Star Cup is my objective now so I hope our team will come back even stronger next season.

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 had a look at the roles we currently have for skaters and I honestly can't think of any other that would actually be useful. Dude who just stays in front of the goalie all night? Screener. Guy who gets the loose pucks in front of the net? Garbage Collector. I'm kinda wondering why this is a CW question at this point. I'll create the most useless skater role ever made because there's literally no room for anything else in the list: Pressbox King. This player sucks so bad that even if this is a sim league, he never gets dressed. But boooy does he have high attributes we can't even edit: professionalism and temperament so he doesn't lose his shit, and through the roof Team Player. This guy is basically a LR lurker and he doesn't even glance at the sim.

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?

The Québec City Citadelles take mental health seriously and have been a part of numerous activities to raise awareness and funds to various causes.

One such causes that is extremely close to their heart is helping Battleborn fans through their mental illness and bring them on the path to recovery. By teaching them self-love and acceptance, many Nevada fans discovered that cheering for that team was not the answer and understood the errors of their ways.

"I cheered for them because their logo looked cool but... at what cost??", said Henry*, a recently recovered former Battleborn fan that we met at a fundraiser organized just outside of Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Citadelles' goal is not to convert those former Battleborn fans to QCC but to just help them find a team that would best suit their needs.

"Most recovering Battleborn fans want to become Citadelles fans immediately but we tell them our fanbase is huge enough as it is so if they need more time to think about it, we can afford to wait for them", Dr. Donald Lacroix told us while chatting with such a convert.

Such initiatives have helped thousands of Battleborn fans recover from what we used to think was an incurable disease.

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

League Commish BadWolf (on the SMJHL team) should have admitted to rigging on day one. He was out to STOP THE CHAMPIONSHIP RUN OF THE QUÉBEC CITY CITADELLES. He probably rigged for the Armada. Those are illegal, improper goals, trying to influence the Finals. He should never, ever been allowed to remain in the HO while being an alumni of the Anchorage Armada. RIGGED. This is a real issue. It won't go into a SMJHL Report because the SMJHL is going to protect these guys. The SMJHL has an interest in creating the illusion of objectivity around this finale. His dirty work is a disgrace to the SMJHL!

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

That's really easy to answer because I adore the Syndicate's branding and am not the biggest fan of the Steelhawks'. I respect the Steelhawks brand because of it's longevity in the league but I find it a little boring (I kinda hate animal brandings) while Chicago ticks a lot of boxes. I think their logo and colours pop and their identity is fun and original.

Welp, you waited until the last day to grind out your CW and the CC finals are longggggggg over by now. congrats to [TEAM], woo! Reflecting back on the series, who gets your vote for series MVP? Make the case why this player deserves it over any other.

The Procrastinator Special is definitely the question I will forever and ever answer.

Chicago was just a freaking powerhouse during the playoffs. They have tons of players that would deserve the Playoff MVP title. It's difficult to not pick Nick Connolly though. He had the most points, beating his teammates Daniel Smeb and Gunnar Soderberg by one little point, the best +/- in the league (even if people love saying this stat is useless), third most hits, and was 7th among forwards for blocked shots. Based solely on points, this question is tough to answer but when you take everything else into account, the choice gets much easier to make.
