From reaching the $6000 goal for COTA Charity, write 3 words on why the SHL is the best

The SHL is the best because it rocks and I have a lot of fun here and Carolina as well as Tampa Bay have been so much fun I can't even put it in words.

What's your prediction for this season's IIHF tournament? Which teams do you expect to do well (or not well)? Which players?

This years IIHF tournament generally looks like it will be a repeat of last years. The usual suspects should fare well since there has not been a big unbankening or influx of unbanked players into any of the teams so I generally expect Team Canada, Great Britain and USA still do very well. Especially Canada is looking great on paper seeing that they are able to field about the same team as they did last season without too much change.

Looking into the other side of the pond as well Great Britain looks like it will still be a dominating force in the tournament. Especially some of their players are still up there and it is surely possible that Vorian Atreides and Jon Forty-One who were up there in points last season will do very well again and support their team to maybe bring it home this season and lose to Canada in the finals. Austria, which is my team, is still a pretty young team and will probably not fare as well yet, but should be up and coming soon.

To some, an interesting part of sports leagues is following celebrity fans (like Jack with the Lakers or 50 Cent with the Knicks last week) - who would be some relevant SHL celebrity fans? Which well-known celebrities would be superfans of which SHL teams?

I think as an outspoken Vancouverite Ryan Reynolds would have a hard time picking an SHL team, but he would easily be a superfan of the Vancouver Whalers in the Juniors. He may not seem like the biggest hockey guy generally since I have not seen him rooting for the Canucks on a lot of occasions, but that means there is even more space in his personal life to pick up another team like his hometown Whalers. And to be honest which sound of mind person would root for the Canucks anyways (I am not sound of mind so it is okay for me to root for them) so you should not automatically expect him to just not like hockey itself.

If worst came to worst and the situation were dire....... you need nutrition....... you must consume your peers. If you had to eat another SHL player, who would you eat and why? (sorry in advance Julio)

That's a medium easy one. Since I personally probably do not enjoy the general taste of human flesh I would not waste any time on all the human elements of this league and rather search for animal players that we are graced to have in here. In the end it all comes down between Duncan the Walrus and Iorek Byrnison in my mind. One is a - surprise - Walrus and the other one is a warbear. While I'd agree that hunting a Walrus for food is probably the easier way to get sustenance (even though they are damn scary and fierce creatures) I am personally not too fond of seafood and in my mind a Walrus is seafood. So in the end I would try and hunt down Byrnison so I could make some nice bear stew. Also this feels like a way more legal and less concerning answer than choosing a human peer.
