What's your prediction for this season's IIHF tournament? Which teams do you expect to do well (or not well)? Which players?

So my prediction is one of Czechia finally wins gold for the first time in their history of being an IIHF team. They grinded, got the players and been to many tournys where they got close. Got silver, bronze, and bronze again in the past 10 seasons. It is their time to take advantage of having such a stacked roster and get gold. In other teams, you got great teams like the United States and Canada where they are always great becuase htye are the main teams that get players. One underrated team could be Sweeden, and also of course FInland does not exist at all. Latvia will probably do bad again, I dont know what Russia is up to these days. Austria I think is like Latvia and be bad. Switzerland I hear is doing some good work there, Japan will be Chicago 2.0 of course and be good. Other than that idk what you got, Ireland could be something , same with Britian.

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. I think Hamilton has the edge only because of the veteran experience. Sure in Chicago you got guys that went to the 2nd or 3rd round, but they also lost to Manhattan in 7 a couple seasons back, and choked some. But Hamilton has been to a lot of high pressure situations and suceeded.
b. I think Chicago has the slight advantage because their defenseman are some of the best in the league, and if they can utilize them more, move the puck around and really make Jobin move laterally and get him beat with a sick one timer or something. Take advantage of that and suceed.
c. I like the Hamilton Steelhawks logo better. For me I like more simplistic minimalistic logos and hamilton steelhawks are one of the bests at that. With Chicago its better than their original logo and it has gotten cleaner, but Hamilton is just something about the colors that make it what it is.
d. I would rathher reach for objects on high shevles with Dale miller because it can be a date of some type. I come over and I help him clean his little house, put things high up where he cant reach. Then we all log on and play league with Parker smeb, rage and have a good time.

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.

Oh wow congrats on Chicago Syndicate to win the cup. Now you are the 3rd team in that division to win it in the past 4 seasons. You also are the 2nd of the expansion teams(NOLA and CHI) to win in the past couple of seasons. You also won before San Francisco won, and they were created 20 seasons after you were a thing. Going back to S46 you took the slow build approach to New Orleans getting everyone at once type of deal and in the end if benefited both of you guys. In the end you guys are a good expansion team that did well in the end.
