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.)
Requirements:
- WRITTEN: Write a 100 word blurb about the item, including details on during which game was / will be given out.

Sports without fans are not really the same as the whole atmosphere is what motivates players. So, with fans returning to the arenas, the Maine Timber will be giving out miniature cups to every single annual seat holder, as a token of the organization appreciation for all the support.
So it is going to be a whole lot of miniature awards, that are going to be distributed at the first game of season 61. Every single fan is going to be called out by name and take a picture holding it with their favorite players.
Just a heads up, this ceremony is probably taking at least 6 hours. Easy stuff.

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.
Requirements:
WRITTEN: 150+ words

Jay Cue is not a very charitable person. But, after his agent getting on his nerves for the billionth time, that he should definitely show up to some random community project to get a few more social media followers, he decided to just go to some soup kitchen in a shady neighbourhood in Maine.
It all worked ok, Cue just talked for a bit with the organisers, served some meals to underprivileged citizens that are just having a rough time in life and are in need of an opportunity, took some pictures with kids and fans and in the end left a hefty sum check (money given to him by some Maine Timber "boosters" and companies that want him to advertise their products.
In the end, he spent a decent few hours away from home and all the hockey scene, something that high profile athletes desperately need sometimes. And, who knows, maybe he comes back to help again in the future.

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?
Requirements: 150+ words.

To be fair and really honest, i have no idea on what was expected to happen with Cue's first season in the minors. My whole modus operandi was to really search for what the important stats were for the centre position and try to get as much TPE as i could to improve those same stats. I think i did a good job at it, while i am still a bit upset i missed on fantasy football, even after i tried to get in for a while at a perfectly reasonable time, to no avail.
Understandably, Cue was not on the ice for the time some other (better) players were, so all his hard work behind the scenes has that in mind, he really wants to be on the ice for as long as possible and be the offensive reference for the team. He scored a few goals, with some more assists, but nowhere near the top of the league. And he wants to be there.

Task #9 - 2 TPE
Which series of these playoffs up until the finals has been the best / most thrilling and why? Write a short recap of which series you personally enjoyed the best and talk about the key points of the series, along with what ultimately led to the final result of it.
Requirements: 100+ words.

In my honest opinion, the Maine Timber - Anaheim Outlaws was the most exciting series of this season playoffs.
The Timber got to the games as underdogs, due to them finishing in 10th place versus the Outlaws 7th, but managed to beat them in a Game 7 decider. They were even 3 - 1 up after game 4, missed 2 chances to finish them off and had to resort to a 1 - 0 Game 7 win in OT.
Incredible scenes for a very young Timber team and we have to believe that the key point of this series was their another OT win in game 2, that got them level in the series. At that point they understood that everything was possible.

Task #10 - 3 TPE
So your team just got eliminated these playoffs, and have to look forward to next season where hopefully things go differently. What does your team have to be excited about for next season, where they'll have another go at the coveted 4-star cup?
Requirements: 150+ words.


The Maine Timber were eliminated on the playoffs, as one who follows the league would expect. But wait, for a team that that finished 10th out of 12 teams in the SMJHL, it was not a very big surprise to see them go out on the first round of... But wait! They were eliminated for real, but on the 2nd round of they playoffs, as they managed to beat the 7th placed Anaheim Outlaws, 4 - 3! And they did this with one of the, if not the youngest team in the league. What does this mean for the future? That this team is growing very steadily, their players are very active and updating every week, so the only way to go from here is up!
I know that the league is pretty even, so even if you have a great regular season, you can have a disappointing playoff run, but with the roster improving at the current rate, i can see us making a splash later on.

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.
Requirements: 150+ words.

With the 2nd round playoff exit with the Timber, Jay Cue's focus went straight into the draft and his possible landing spots.
As a Center, he his very aware that at least half the league is not looking at him with their first pick, as they do not really need to get one for the future. Still, he feels like he has a lot more to offer than his "position", so if these teams do their homework, he knows very well he can persuade them to get him as early as possible.
After a pretty underwhelming season on the ice, he already was scouted by 5, maybe 6 teams, which is not that bad. As a late create, Cue is spending the offseason working on his game, trying to improve his stats as much as possible, but with the TPE deficit he has if we compare him to "older" users, him being drafted in the first round is probably not very probable.
