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?

Yngve Simonsson had a wonderful send off season in Detroit this most recent year, putting up the 4th most goals in the league, and a great amount of points. Simonsson was able to lift the Detroit Falcons away from their predicted bottom of the table finish, to finish up and get a bye into the next round. At the 1/3 portion of the season, Simonsson possessed 30% of all Detroit goals on the year, and at the end still held a sizable portion, despite linemates such as Mihalov and James catching up to him on the scoresheet. Regardless, Simonsson bids farewall to the J, having put up a great farewell season, and one that San Francisco was impressed with enough to call him up. Next season Simonsson is hoping to translate that SMJHL success to the big league and take the league by storm as a rookie. Maybe his sniping ways will translate

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?

The new archtype within FHM is one for the ages, and coaches around the league rejoice. After the league so unfairly banned the use of the enforcer or the agitator from use across the lineup, FHM wasn't afraid to step up against Tyranny. They developed a new role called the super enforcer. The most important attritbutes are fighting, checking, and strength. With Strength being the main atty. These players will put up 200 points a season because the opposing team is so afraid of them that they will scatter to the corners of the globe when they come on the ice

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?

Simonsson is from Sweden. In case you were not aware. And being from Sweden, he has a tendency to make some real Swedish dishes. His favourite food is Swedish Meatballs and he makes them with love and care. First thing he does when preparing his meatballs, which he notes his balls are world-famous, is he goes to IKEA. He then cooks the meatballs. Over the offseason, Simonsson volunteers in his local soup kitchen, serving food to the less fortunate. he makes his famous meatballs, and people line up down the block for this meal at the local kitchen. Simonsson says it gives him a lot of joy to see people excited to engage in Swedish culture and says he knows that people in North America have not experienced Swedish Meatballs before as it is a delicacy that obviously had not made it over here. Simonsson hopes that when he moves to San Francisco that he will still be able to serve his famous balls to gentlemen in the community

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

It's obviously Texas. They have such a phenomenal roster, built up by RCD and Puoli. It has been an impressive rise by the both of them to making this team competitive again. The team is easily the most stacked in the West, and just needs a bit of a slide from Buffalo, Chicago, and Hamilton in terms of form to truly take their mantle as the cream of the crop in the league. It has been a pleasure watching these two GM Texas (a team I hold dear to my heart) to the success they are beginning to have, and they are easily the best team not to make the finals this year

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?
Chicago is actually the better team all-around this year, and I don't think it is really a toss up. Hamilton is a great team, built really well, but they are so top heavy and their goalie can be exploited. On the other hand, Chicago is so tough all the way down the lineup. You have to play their third line and pairing as hard as their first

b. Each of these teams boasts a very strong first powerplay unit - which team has the special teams advantage in this series?
Hamilton does, as Hamilton has such a top heavy team. Smeb is hard to beat at the top end, but having Scarn just puts Hamlton over the edge. Their PP is tough to contain, as they have talent on the blueline and down low in the bumper position with players such as Clapper

c. Which of these two teams' brandings do you prefer? Take into account colors, logo, name, location, and anything else you consider relevant.
Obviously, being the creator of the Portland Admirals, my answer is gonna be Chicago. I love black and yellow as a combo (even tho i hate the Bruins) and it will always look sleek and good. I think Chicago could have more contrast in their logo (too much grey) and jerseys, but they are good for sure.

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?
reach for objects on high shelves with Millsy. It would be so cute with me picking him up by his tiny little waist to lift him to grab the high things :3 he would be like a cute little baby as I lift him to see what is up there and he realizes I ate the last of the chips and he can't have any
