1.For me the most surprising this season was seeing the Toronto North Stars escape the Great Lakes Division and make it into the playoffs. I honestly knew they had it in them and I am happy for Carpy to final make it to the post season since he is legit an amazing goalie. It was really refreshing seeing them have a monster of a season finally, and win a playoff series though I was convinced they were going to win the challenge cup. This season they showed they belong with the top of the Great Lakes teams, and that the division is way too stacked. The North Stars will have high expectations for next season and honestly I see them going further than they did this season as this was their first taste of the post season in ages, and now that they have the taste of blood in their mouths they are coming for that challenge cup.

2. This one for sure is a hard choice but I would choose the 6 skaters at all times, since it is clear that it has to be at all times. Even when you get a penalty you don’t go down a man because you are required to have 6 men on the ice at all time. So sure the other team can’t take penalties, offsides or icings but at most a penalty would never put my team at a disadvantage, and having that extra player for 6 on 5 hockey all game can really set the tone and make the difference. The only way they would be able to match it is if they pulled their goalie which then is a 6 on 6, with a empty in. (128 words 2 tpe)

4. Well in all honesty I don’t believe that the New England Wolfpack will be in the finals in the next season or two so there really isn’t much for me to do besides continue to develop into the player the team needs me to be. I do believe the next goal would be to make it back into the playoffs, and I do think that my training can help the scoring for the team which was sorely missed last season. I do hold high hopes for the future however and can see us making the challenge cup finals during the S60s. All I can do is continue to listen to the coaches, and do what they need me to do to elevate my game to the next level. My goal is to increase my point totals from 38 this past season, and really become the playmaking winger the team needs me to become, only hope I can live up to those expectations.(162 words, 3 tpe)

5. This is my personal opinion but the best team not to make the SHL finals was the Toronto North Stars. I swear I had them going all the way and winning the challenge cup however luck just wouldn’t have it that way. I personally felt like they had a monster of a season and were riding that high going into the playoffs. After their round 1 win, I honestly felt their was no stopping the North Stars however they fell short to Buffalo, which I think they still were the better team despite losing however lady luck wouldn’t have it that way and unfortunately they missed their chance at the finals.

b. Honestly this is coming after the results of the challenge cup and we know Hamilton won. However if I was choosing I would go with Hamilton simply because I am of the mindset to never bet against them because for some damn reason they are sim gods, and just dominate so yeah a team that is able to score more, in Hamiltons case, with a decent defense will tear down a full defensive team.

c. If I had to choose which branding I prefer between these two teams I would easily have to say Buffalo, I prefer the colour scheme the most and that’s what matters to me in this comparsion I guess, same with the logo. I do have to give Hamilton the edge on the Name though, locations are both a wash. (59 words, 1 tpe)

16. So for those that don’t know me I love Zema, and honestly I don’t really have a reason for it besides he is an awesome dude. Additionally I am lazy and don’t want to start listing names but thank you to the Wolfpack, all of you, I love you guys. And to my Raptor bros, I love you guys too, go get that 4 star cup. (3 tpe)
