In a season that I did not give myself a lot of expectations as I get used to the much faster paced rigors of jumping from the Juniors into the Simulation Hockey League, I will say that I am quite relieved to consider the role I played to have been done well. The first thing I did right was kept my head on straight and only racked up 9 Penalty Minutes over the entire sixty six game season, and five of those was the right thing to do after Ethan Price was given a cheap shot that I saw and took exception to, so I had to stand up for my man, even if I did end up getting my you know what whipped. I chipped in for Seventeen Points this season, which I'll gladly take considering that I did not serve any time on special teams. I focused on keeping things basic, giving up as few giveaways as I could, and just focused on positioning and trusting my goaltenders instructions to help him out. This was a good Rookie Season to build on and focus more on establishing my role.



A cause that is near and dear to my heart is giving back to a major staple in the New England area, the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, and the phenomenon known as "The Jimmy Fund". I have enjoyed the opportunity to meet with kids who love the sport of hockey, and coming in with some Wolfpack t-shirts, pucks, and bobbleheads to brighten up their days. I even took to my Twitch channel to get dressed up in women's makeup, wearing lashes, eyeliner, and full makeup done by a professional to play various games with the community while all dressed up. We were able to raise over $7,500 in donations, and the only reason I think we didn't do more was that I wasn't very good about getting the message out. That will change soon enough for next season!


Anaheim Outlaws
You were where I learned my craft
I think of you well

The man they call Zomp
A really solid player
But what is a Zomp?

Ode to a goalie
When that puck went in the net
It wasn't my fault

These haikus are fun
Talking about hockey so
Let's do this again


Winnipeg seemed to play quite well this season, but it was only good enough to earn them a fifth place finish in the Western Conference. They scored a lot this past season, with balanced offense throughout the ranks. Four players scored twenty goals over the past season, and two of their defensemen also scored double digit goals during the season. Four of those players, Nick Brain, Goku Muerto, Calogero Crudelli, and Commander Shepard all ended up with more than fifty points, which was good enough to get all of them into the Top Fifty Scorers in the SHL this season.

I hate to sound like all that makes sense to vote for is the top hockey teams, but this will be one of those reports that will tell you just that. If we go by last season's results, it's expected to see Canada, the United States, Japan, Great Britain, and Czechia establish themselves as the top dawgs in the IIHF World. For this season, I think it's safe to say that the Canadians continue to be the expected favorites during this season's festivities. I think the teams that will fare the best will be Canada, the United States, and Great Britain. Japan will probably play the tight games they did again, but I expect that if they don't score more this year, they will not succeed as well. 


Ethan Price reminds me of what Charlie Coyle has started to become in Boston. A hometown player, he plays within himself, stays composed, and covers all two hundred feet of the ice. He surprised himself this past season by scoring over thirty goals, and racking up over sixty points. While only having twelve total penalty minutes, he played aggressive and would block shots when he needed to, played exceptional on the forecheck this past year, and while not afraid to take his own shot, was just as willing to feed his teammates when the situation arose. He can only hope to continue adapting his two way style and expanding his role to lead the Wolfpack into better times.
