RESO: Honestly, this season was indeed a massive improvement in terms of my production on ice. Scoring 21 more points than last season, 16 of them through special teams, shows that I have a clear role in the team as a power play specialist. I also enjoy the fact that my shot accuracy has improved from my rookie season. After S56 where I scored 5 goals from 84 shots on goal, scoring on a 5.95% shot percentage, I trained a lot to get my accuracy on point and freeing myself from opponents. The results mean that I got to score 13 goals on 168 shots, a 7.74% shot percentage. If there is one area I would like to improve on the most, it would be my plus minus. It feels weird scoring 34 points yet earning a disappointing -16 plus minus, but it is what it is. Improving myself physically would be a great thing for myself. 3. Currently, RESO has placing in a full month’s work just for raising funds for charity, with extra days. In the early days, RESO will be in his hometown of Sheffield where he will be hosting an esports tournament. All the funds that come from the entrance fees, in addition to £10,000 will be heading to the Teenage Cancer Trust. Then in the middle of the month, RESO will be doing a marathon cycle, from London to Newcastle, all for the British Heart Foundation. RESO will be supported part way with some of his friends from Team GB and Colorado Raptors. Finally, RESO will be taking the biggest challenge that he has ever taken. In a mad strive to both personal thrill seeking and to aid those less fortunate, RESO will be heading to the Himalayas by the end after a rest where he will be looking to climb K2. The charities he will be doing it will be various, such as WaterAid, Cancer Research, Special Effect and many more. 4.

As an IIHF Fed Head, I know that I am going to be heavily biased with my prediction, but there is no way that I cannot back Team Great Britain. Even with regressions and an aging core, we have a stacked forward core with solid defence. However, the key thing for us that that we can roll so many different lines and are capable of just drowning your nets in pucks. Outside of team GB, I think the team that could make some serious noise is Team Sweden. Never doubt the carry capabilities of Kata Vilde. Even in his old age, he is still one of the better goalies in the SHL, and he is not alone. Passamus, Wagstrom and Soderberg will make for a strong first line and are backed up by guys like Sven Yxskaft, Zlatan Ibrahimovic Jr, Henrik Lekberg Osterman and Karl Krashwagen supporting them. Watch out, Sweden could land in a medal position. 7. I’ll be using Colorado Raptors players since they are the ones I am most familiar with. Starting off with RESO, I would compare him to Miro Heiskanen. Obvs RESO has quite a way to matching Miro in terms of skill, but both are fast and use their puck handling skills to very lethal effect. Then you have Juni Panda who is a mix of Mark Stone and Ryan Reaves. Last season, Panda was doing everything, laying the body ad nauseum, showing himself defensively and packing in a lot of points, a lot like Stone. His Reaves side however also showed a lot with him bullying unwitting opponents, serving brutal beatdowns called fights and just racking up lots of penalty minutes. Finally, we have ole reliable Yano Rosejac. Truly he has embodies is inner Carey Price with how he has come in as the true long term starter Colorado has been looking for, pulling save after save after save. 15.
