1) Reflecting on my player’s season is one that had many ups and downs. Being a second-year player in the SMJHL I was able to really learn the ins and the outs of the game style that my team likes to play. While I have had a hard time and have tried many different play styles, I think that I have finally found one that suits both what I want to do and what the team needs from me for us to be successful. The season overall started strong, went down hill mid-season, and then right before the playoffs both myself and my teammates came together to upset our first round match up and make a very strong effort in the second round before, we ended up being eliminated. I really want my player to be better in the offensive end of the ice next season; touted to be one of the best defensive players in his own end I think that seeing an improvement in the offensive zone will go a long way into making him an all around SHL player in the future.

2) A new skater role that I would create in FHM would be a role that was titled “offensive grinder”; this role would cater to many defensive players that also want to be used on a offensive as major threats to the opposing team. Think of a big body player that is not afraid to fight in corners or stick handle the puck into the zone and make a move to the net but having some skills to be able to decide if they should pass the puck or shoot. This role would be very good still in the defensive zone being able to help a defenseman look down the opposing player on their side of the ice. (116 words) (2 TPE)

3) A cause that has been an important part of Fedorov’s life has been helping the youth learn and understand what the meaning of financial literacy is and how they can use that in their own personal life and to spread the message of being smart with your money. Previously he would go to schools in Russia to make kids aware of how to manage money and being financial smart; relating to credit cards and debt. But now that the is in St. Louis he has made a massive effort to go to as many schools as he can talk in front of many different kids to hope to strike an important message to them about financial literacy and being smart with their money; he truly does hope that even if his message reaches just one person, then that one person will make their life better for their future children. This is an important mission in Fedorov’s life, and he will not stop doing this even after his career has ended! (170 words) (3 TPE)

5) The St. Louis Scarecrows were the best team in the league to not make the finals and let me tell you why. The Scarecrows are the most active team in the SMJHL, and they have players who are top earners on their respected class, which means one thing and one thing only… they have the most players that will be capped and should have been in the finals. The Scarecrows also have a great locker room presence between current and former players which adds immensely to experience of the simulation hockey league. Combined with two great general managers it was a shame that the Scarecrows did not reach the finals. (110 words) (2 TPE)

12) a. The series is tied 3 to 3 and I believe that one team has a specific advantage to winning this series. I think the Hamilton Steelhawks have an advantage to win a game 7 based on their goaltending and defense. The combo is great at keeping the puck out of the net and that is what wins these big-time games. (61 words) (1 TPE)
b. Both teams indeed do have great powerplays but the Chicago powerplay is better. The Chicago powerplay has 4 great forwards that they can use at any given time; they can both shoot and pass with the best of them in the league. The defense on the powerplay is some of the most explosive in the league and the opposing penalty kill might pay too much attention to them and leave one of the explosive forwards uncovered.

d. If I had to choose between getting a lap dance from Hugh Jazz, having a staring contest with Luke Atmey, reach for objects on high shelves with Dale Miller, or play league with Parker Smeb. I would choose playing league with Parker Smeb because I am a wizard at video and all I do is win. (56 words) (1 tpe)
