If real life versions of all 18 SHL team logos were entered into a fight, which would come out victorious and why? Which would be the first eliminated?

Being that I am part of the Pride I would love to say that the Lions would come out as King of the logos but looking at all of them I do not believe this would be the case. Right off the bat I think we can remove the North stars and the Aurora. Yes, they are both great logos but really can’t do anything in a fight other then exist. Specters are just scary but pretty sure the sunlight or day would pretty much take care of them, so they are out. Monarchs would just command an army with primitive weapons and get wiped out by the dragons or blizzards. It would be to long to break down every team so I think it would really come down to the Syndicate, Wolfpack, Pride, and Inferno. But when it gets down to the final 4 I have to say the ability of the Syndicate to use their actual human skills to kill animals like we have done for thousands of years they would have to come out on top. It would be a remarkably interesting fight to see though. Side note if the north stars became a shooting star/ meteor they would string down everyone likely emerge victorious.

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?

Hollywood actors and actresses love to get behind their sports teams. With so many celebrities out there and so many different sports to watch. With the rise of popularity of the SHL including new expansion teams it has caught the eyes of the famous celebrities. Dwayne the Rock Johnson has recently been attending the Prides home games. Miley Cyrus has been checking out the Panthers games. Tom Brady is even a fan he has even picked up box seats in the Tampa now. He took the team out to a Barracuda game after they had their boat parade. Justin Bieber of course can still be found around the North Star rink despite them trying to pay him not to come as no one likes him. (WC:125)

12. Written, up to 4 TPE - Pick up to 4 Challenge Cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words.

a. Which of these teams has stronger offensive firepower?

b. This is Texas’s first cup appearance since winning it in S36, while Buffalo is recovering from 2 recent final losses to Hamilton. Which team will have a bigger chip on their shoulder entering the finals.

c. Which of these two teams' brandings do you prefer? Take into account colors, logo, name, location, and anything else you consider relevant.

d. Would you rather have to spend a long weekend hanging out in Dallas or Buffalo? What would you do?

a. The argument can be made that Buffalo has more firepower in their offense then Texas. Buffalo scored 33 more goals then Texas in the same amount of games. One could argue being the out of the great lakes there were significantly more blow out games but Texas has an all-around weaker conference which would give the Stampede the edge on offense. (WC:61)

b. Without a doubt Texas has more of a chip on their shoulder then Buffalo. Despite losing the last two finals Texas seemed to have had better seasons but was almost dismissed because they weren’t part of the great lakes. They have had a fantastic group of players that continued to get better each season despite the lack of success. They will 100% come out guns blazing. (WC:66)

c. As far as branding goes I would give the Renegades the edge. Though I like the Stampede branding and color scheme, Texas’ seems to have just a bit more swagger to it. Being their logo matches perfectly well with Texas and have also loved the dark color schemes. The almost complete black out style is a fantastic touch with the touches of grey. The Renegades win the branding war between the two.(WC:72)

d. Being a fan of football I don’t think you could go wrong heading down to Texas. The weather would be hot just the way I like it. Of course the must see/do would be hitting up football all weekend. From high school on Friday night to college game Saturday to Pro on Sunday It would be a triple game weekend of enjoying the crowds and the cold ones(beers) watching the game. (WC:71)

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)

If it came down to anyone in the SHL I need to eat to stay alive it is hands down Karl Krashwagon. The guy is an absolute specimen he treats his body like a temple and therefor I know he would be the best nutritional value. Its like A&W advertising, he is all natural no artificial flavoring or GMO’s. Yes, it would likely mean I am eating my long time friend, but given the circumstances I think he would likely do the same to me. The guy is basically the result of selective breading and has more muscle than fat which will make for some very tasty lean cut meat. I am sure he would taste at least half as good he looks so pretty dam fine!
