ISFL Affiliate (IsaStarcrossed) - 3 TPE

Task #1 - 3 TPE
If you weren't playing for your current team, which team would you most like to be playing for in the playoffs? Explain why you chose that team and how you think you'd slot into their roster. Would your player make a big impact on the team? Would you improve their chances of winning a cup?

This one is super easy for me because I know where my heart leads me. If Adelie de Pengu had played on any other team in these playoffs, I feel like it absolutely would have been for the Vancouver Whalers. You see Adelie waddled his way onto that roster as a waiver pickup last season and he found that he fit into their culture very well. He enjoyed the GMs, he enjoyed the other players, and even the alumni were fantastic. He wasn't overwhelmingly good when he was last on the team due to the lack of practice in the sport, but now that he has a season under his belt and is as good as you can get for a rookie in this league, I think there was potential for him to have a big impact with the Whalers. Who knows, maybe his lock down defense would have been just enough to tip the Whalers past that edge and get them into the championship game!

Task #3 - 2 TPE
Your team is giving back to their supporters by holding a fan appreciation day for one of their games, where the team will hand out a special commemorative item to show thanks for their continued support of the franchise. You have been tasked to design the product to be given out to the attendees (can be a rally towel, foam finger, bobble head, etc.)

It just so happens that with his history in sim leagues, Adelie de Pengu already has a signature item that he has used to boost sales across all his teams. He has a patented krill flavored ice cream that he designed and has made himself and many of his contracts have included demands that his own particular brand be sold at all home games. It really has become a cult classic among his teams. Because of this it is only natural that Anaheim ask him to use his patented designs to help at fan appreciation day! One free krill flavored ice cream for every fan who comes to get a signature from the fantastic Adelie de Pengu.

Task #5 - 3 TPE
Professional hockey players are among the luckiest members of a community, but not everyone is given the same opportunities. As such, many players are expected to give back to the community by volunteering their time and energy off the ice with various charitable organizations. Either write about a charity or event that your player helped out with, or create a flyer or invitation for your event, including team logo, a photo of your player render, and the charity/charities being supported by the event.

This one really hits home for Adelie. You see, Adelie's friends and family are in great danger due to the impacts of climate change. It started off slow, but as more and more ice melt the negative impacts to the communities of Adelie's home have been getting hit harder at a more and more rapid pace. While his particular species of penguin is fairly resilient and could potentially survive without the ice, their numbers would dwindle at incredible rates and other species he considers friends such as the emperor penguin would go extinct entirely. That is why Adelie is a key member of the Global Penguin Society. They are a nonprofit organization who are completely dedicated to the conservation of habitats for all know species of penguins in the world. Adelie holds regular fund raisers for the GPS that include meet and greets and even cookouts hosted by Adelie where he prepares everyone incredible fish. He also donates his game checks to the society as well. He gives everything he can to save his friends.

Task #8 - 3 TPE
You just played out your very first season in the SMJHL to start a new chapter in your career. Overall, how would you say you performed in your rookie season? Did you meet expectations you set for yourself individually? What do you need to improve on for next season?

Honestly Adelie has never really held any standards or expectations for his personal goals on the field or the the ice in this case. Instead, Adelie has always defined success on the team and how it was performing and if his efforts helped the team to succeed. In that sense, Adelie feels like he let down Anaheim in quite a few ways. He came into the season expecting Anaheim to be one of the best teams in the juniors and he was excited to be a part of that and to be the piece that would help push this team to greatness. Adelie started off strong as for a couple weeks he led the team in blocked shots and had one of the highest number of forced turnovers. He fell off hard towards the end of the season though and that is when the team started to struggle. They lost most of their last 20 games, stumbled down the standings, and ultimately got knocked out early in the playoffs. Pengu let them down, but he looks forward to helping them rebound next season with an even better personal performance.

Task #11 - 3 TPE
It's officially the offseason. Whether you just won the cup or didn't even make it past the first round of the playoffs, it's time to take a break and look toward the SHL draft. In 150+ words, tell us how you're spending your time this offseason.

Pengu looks forward to training up this off season and hitting every available opportunity to improve his play and get better. Pengu prided himself on being one of the elite defensive talents coming into this season, but at the end of it he learned that he has a long way to go! As such he will be doubling down on training and be working to impress scouts for the next level. He is fully aware he'll be spending a few more seasons in the juniors league with his beloved Anaheim, but you have to always be looking forward and at the moment the only way forward is the SHL draft. Most league authorities have Pengu going in the top five of a pretty stacked draft class and he would be doing everyone a disservice if he didn't work his tail off to prove that he is worth that spot. So no vacation for this penguin. Only work, work, and more work as he pushes himself to the next level and exceeds all expectations.
