The Purge is a concept where typically illegal things (e.g., robbery, murder) are legalized for one day. In an SHL-purge, there's a game day where everything typically illegal to do on the ice is now legal. No rules for sticks or pads, no penalties, no icing, etc. What will your player do on the ice to make the most of this and gain a competitive advantage?

Abel Skinner is offended by the idea that he would need any help beyond the scope of a regular hockey match to gain a competitive advantage. Hooking is for people who can’t skate and are unable to keep up with opposing dainty wingers. Icing is for people who cannot control the puck and so have to skip it down the ice to keep it away from the enemy. Crosschecking is for people who do not know how to lay a shoulder into a guy and knock him off his keester.

I guess the one area that Abel would like help with is scoring. Perhaps if his teammates were able to spear other guys to keep them away from him when he winds up for his slapper, he might be able to net a few more goals. That would be very sweet and something Skinner would be willing to contemplate. Other than that, Skinner says, “I don’t need no stinking help on the ice.”

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

\Well, obviously, Great Britain will dominate the entire tournament and cruise to an easy gold medal. They have the horses and the grit. And covid has ravaged the country and it’s time for some rage payback. So, watch out rest of the world. Canada, the United States of America, Czechia, Sweden, Russia – all these may have the pedigree in the NHL and other world leagues, but in the SHL, it is the Lion of Great Britain who will roar loudest.

I believe that Abel Skinner, D for the Seattle Argonauts is going to rise to the occasion and be the hero of the British squad. He has played in the international tourney enough times to know what it’s all about – the differences and the similarities with the regular SHL season and he is ready to exploit those differences.

Skinner will lay down the hits, block the shots and score the timely goals that will lead Great Britain to victory!

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?

The only team that really matters in the SHL is the Seattle Argonauts so let’s talk about who might be a superfan of the Argos.

First and most importantly, I know for a fact that both Ken Griffeys (senior and junior) are huge fans of the Argos. As athletes they can recognize the superior caliber of the nautical icemen and how could they not root for the franchise in the city of their beloved Mariners. Junior spent most of his illustrious career in Seattle and Senior ended his career there.

Bill Gates is also a big fan of the Argos. Not as much fun as having the Griffeys cheer you on, but the sponsorship of the arena is a nice gesture.
