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?

The Winnipeg Aurora would win, because it can't be destroyed. Dragons can breathe fire at the aurora and it'll probably just reappear by science-y magic, North Stars can cause supernovas and the Aurora will still shine somewhere. Land-based creatures can only sit and stare at it. Specters would presumably be exorcised by the Aurora if they tried to cover it in darkness. The Aurora will outlast everything.

The worst off would probably be the Barracuda, as the weaker bird teams could hunt it, and the land mammals would not really be threatened by the beast.

As for mascot battles, it would be necessary to know who everyone's mascot is. Winnipeg might use a bear as a mascot, which would open up some possibilities. It would probably be a close battle between the Dragons and the Specters, but if the Platoon was a literal Rambo-type solider or something and not just an eagle then they might be in it with a chance. Barracuda would probably still lose very badly.

Which SHL or SMJHL team was the best team to not make the finals this season and why?

The Hamilton Steelhawks are an obvious one for the SHL with their vast coaching and technical experience, coupled with a strong roster capable of big goal production, paced by superstar Theo Morgan and his 100 point season. Hamilton however ran into problems with A Jobin not having his best playoff, while Cillian Kavanagh was lights out for Texas and warranted strong consideration for playoff MVP. Overall Hamilton would probably win about 40% of the time just starting the playoffs from scratch, but it wasn't their year sadly.

SMJHL seems like the best team won, even if Kelowna has a few unpopular individuals. However, for sentimental reasons I would've liked to see Colorado get the gig, and it would've been nice to see the Raptors succeed after some violently up and down years. Plus a few talented Raptors veterans such an Yanno Rosejac and I believe RESO were in their final years with the team. Oh well.

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?

Well I hesitate to use the word celebrity, but I think Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho of All Elite Wrestling fame would be big fans of the Winnipeg Aurora, as they're from the local area and support the IRL Jets I believe, but neither guy could draw a dime if you gave them a silver crayon.

LA Panthers would have a flood of wannabe celebrities and rappers in its fandom, but I don't know if those fans would really be down with the color schematic. Manhattan is probably super popular amongst east coast rappers for its striking black and red color scheme. New England would be a sentimental favourite because Boston main character lol.
