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.

Next season, as we begin to welcome fans back, Colorado will be bringing out a few bobbleheads and rally towels for certain games to really bring out the Raptor spirit. First off, we will have the Noel Blanchet night, on game 7 (in recognition of Blanchet's jersey number, #77), in celebration of Blanchet breaking the all time SMJHL assists record. First, there will be baskets off green and red apples alike all around the arena, free for everyone to take and eat, while celebrating the amounts of amazing dishoffs Blanchet made in his record year. A Blanchet bobblehead will also be given out to everyone. The second promotional day scheduled will be Kekw Kekkonen's bobblehead giveaway on games 6 and 9 (in recognition of Kekkonen's jersey number, #69), celebrating Kekkonen's explosive 30 goal season. A beautiful replica of Kekkonen's mighty shooting stance, along with the obligatory :kekw: stamped on there. Along with that, everyone will get a nice Raptors rally towel to swing around when KEKW, or anyone scores a goal. Let's go Raptors!

Task #6 - 3 TPE
Make a dream team of players from the two teams in the four star cup finals (3F, 2D, 1G), and give a small explanation for each pick. Alternatively, make a graphic displaying your dream team.

Requirements:
WRITTEN: 150+ words

LW Jesse Trudeau
Jesse Trudeau is a very potent scorer and playmaker showed by his 25 goals, 41 assists and 66 points. He balances out his scoring, and has great hockey sense, IQ, shots and passes. His balanced offense on both facets of the game will mesh well with Blanchet and Trudeau,

C Robert Black
Robert Black is more of a pure playmaker, as he can really dish off accurate and timely passes to his teammates. His 54 assists broke the all time SMJHL record, so he can pair well with Saint-Michel and Trudeau. Blanchet will mostly focus on getting the puck onto the sticks of Carter and Trudeau, while winning his faceoffs.

RW Cole Carter
Cole Carter is what this line needs to round everything out, a pure goal scorer. He tallied 38 goals this season, most in the league and while his shot isn't the most powerful, it still gets the job done well. He also gets open at the right time too.

LD Aleksandrs Balcers
Aleksandrs Balcers is a tough, physical but also very offensively talented defenseman. He can shoot pucks on net, but has a very good pass to help out teammates. Balcers transitions the puck well, and has decent defensive numbers too.

RD Gregory Goode
Gregory Goode, similar to Balcers, plays a more offensive oriented game, by getting pucks, moving them up ice and distributing them. Goode also blocks shots, and has a superb one himself. He scored 15 goals, good for 2nd in the league.

G Yanno Rosejac
I went with the best all round goalie, and that was Rosejac. His glovework, amazing reflexes and positioning are all among the best in the league, so it is no wonder his stats show for it too. He has a strong Save percentage, while maintaining a high game rating.

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.

For Max Manning, it was a decent first rookie season, with highlights and some lowlights throughout the year. He finished off the year with 3 goals, 15 assists and 18 points, while playing on the team's 4th line with Gabe Gooney Waters Harrak and Donald Jr. Trump. Overall, Manning mostly lived up to his title as a playmaker, setting up plays and scoring chances for his teammates. Even though most told me 18 points and 15 assists as decent, I think I personally underperformed a little to what I expected. I was looking for more around 10 goals and 30 points ish, but I am still happy with what I produced overall. Unfortunately, there was a time where I could not score a single goal, which was so frustrating. However, I kept going, updated and finished off the season with an alright stat line. Next year, I'm really looking forward to step into a bigger role on Colorado. Go Raptors!

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.

Although this may be a little biased, I truly do believe the Colorado-Anchorage 2nd round matchup was a one for the ages, and an exciting, thrilling and fun one to watch. After being swept last year by Anchorage, Colorado set out for some revenge on the Armada in this year's matchup. Whilst Anchorage did have a pretty strong team, Colorado put up a fight, and even came on top with the 3-1 series lead until they just could not finish it off. The highlight of the series was mostly all the games to be honest. The first 6 games were all decided by 1 goal, and 3 games went to overtime, with the Armada winning 2 of them. At last, Anchorage managed to win 5-2 on Colorado home ice, taking the series win and moving on. GG Anchorage.

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.

Even though we eventually could not put away the series, I believe there is a lot for Colorado to be excited and happy about in the coming seasons, especially next one. First, the Raptors S60 SMJHL draft was a one to remember, and executed fantastically by GMs Jumbobone and Ruggsy. 5 of the 6 picks (Graf, Harrak, Trump, Manning and Nightingale) have all been active and 4 currently rank top 20 in TPE, while Nightingale is at 33. At this rate, this rookie core take a huge step next year in improving and supplementing the team's stars that are already here (Kekkonen, Nishimori, Nystrom, Gobbledygook, McFife XVIII and Seteki). Next year, I believe we will have a dangerous team, that can contend against any powerhouse, with a potent offense, rock solid defense and brick wall goaltending with the rookies climbing up the progression. In no time, the Raptors will have strong up front stars, along with plenty of depth and supporting members.

Task #13A - 1 TPE
Answer up to 4 of these prompts, each one being worth 1 TPE for 50+ words each.

A. Which player from either team has the best name in this series (just the name itself, nothing to do with the player themselves).

Personally, my favorite name I have seen so far would be Anchorage defender Bean Beanman. It is quite simple, nothing very complicated yet it has a nice ring to it, while being easy to pronounce and say. I also have a slight bias to food based names, and the spelling of the name appeals to my eyes. Overall, it is simple, fun and a memorable name.
