ISFL Affliate +3 TPE
Task 2 +2 TPE
This is a pretty tough one. I think I'm going to take the right to commit fouls. Thinking about what happens on a powerplay. You try to set up, you get a guy in front of the net. And then boom, a player just takes out his skates and the goalie has that perfect line of vision again. A turnover happens and a 3 on 3 breaks out. And then one of the offensive players just skates right over one of the defenders. How do you defend that? Add in the fact that if the team with 6 ever takes a penalty their whole advantage goes out the window, I think it's a no-brainer for me.

Task 5 +2 TPE
There is no doubt to me that the Toronto North Stars belong in the SHL finals this season. Playing in the murderous Great Lakes they managed to not only make the playoffs but hang around the top of the division all season long. In the playoffs, after a scare with the Pride in the first round, they took on the Calgary Dragons and handled them with ease. But the North Stars would fall to the Hamilton Steelhawks in a game seven for the ages, that went to overtime.

Finishing 3rd in the league in points and 2nd in the East while playing a Great Lakes schedule is truly incredible. The North Stars belong in the final.

Task 8 +3 TPE



Task 12

b) The age-old adage about defense winning championships will always hold true. I don't care how much you score, when it comes down to it, I'll take the team that doesn't give up goals over the team that scores them at a high rate every time. Now if you can have both? Well, that's great, but if it's only one, I'm all about the defense.

c) I really like the Hamilton branding. The blue and the grey contrast very nicely and the logo itself is very clean. The Stampede on the other hand use a roundel which I am almost never a fan of. The green and gold do go together nicely (see Baylor University) but overall I like the Hamilton look better.

d) It has to be Elizebeth Doyle in net, she has the pedigree, I don't care if Jobin is having a better series. At forward I want Aaron Wilson and Theo Morgan, both total beasts with a ton of experience on the ice. For my defender I want Samuel Michaud who is a great full ice player, he can defend and he can score.


Task 16 +3 TPE
I like @Dextaria. He is a very nice guy. He GMs the Whalers and was the captain there before and we get along very well. Dex is a good guy to work with in SJHN as well.
