So this was a tough season for everyone in the SHL. Dealing with trolls online, horrible PR from product endorsements, and on top of that all some minor identity fraud to add to the pile. Are these the worst things to happen to your player this season, or did something unimaginably horrible happen? On the flip side, were there any bright spots hidden in the countless nuisances and problems? What good things on and off the ice happened this season for you?

This was a disappointing season for LAP and Grape Fruit. LAP was bounced in the first round again with a more promising roster than ever and it hurt more than any playoff exit before. Testing had a very favorable finish to that series but ultimately it was not meant to be. That was the big disappointment for the team but Grape Fruit did not produce as much as desired. His line mates went crazy and scored all over the place while Grape Fruit just watched, which is awesome for them and Grape Fruit is very happy for their success, just wishes to have played a bigger role throughout the season to contribute to the team's overall success. The future is still bright and hopefully things will work out better in the future but until then, Grape Fruit will be disappointed with this season's results and strive to do better. Here's to an even better next season for LAP!

Pokemon! Everyone loves em, and if you don't, you didn't have a childhood. Or adulthood. Anyways, let's imagine all SHL and SMJHL players are now pokemon. Assemble your team! On top of that, what is your strategy to navigate the POKESHL? Try to get the strongest pokemon and become champion? Catch all of the possible players and complete your pokedex? UwU Breed them? Catch low level juniors players and train them? Or become a gym leader, helping others on their path to greatness? I'd love to hear your approach.

The trick is going to be a little bit of sweet talk to join the team, a little bit of historical success and a lot of money. I would assume many SHL or SMJHL pokemon would want success but they probably want money too. Everyone has their price and the other factors contribute but ultimately the dollar signs will make it work. My strategy would to put a high dollar bill on a fishing line, luring the players in with the illusion of money only to make them play for what will probably be a disappointing amount, until I have enough players to become good then I will take over the world. I didn't play too much pokemon so maybe this would be an effective strategy or maybe not, only time will tell. One thing is for sure, if I do happen to succeed, I will indeed be very successful and the best pokemon trainer catcher whatever the term might be.

We're adding 2 teams to the SMJHL this season. Do you think we should keep the current SMJHL playoff format of everyone makes it? Or is it time to just take the best 8 or 12 teams and let em duke it out? Defend your stance.

I think as many teams as possible should make the SMJHL playoffs. This is great for user engagement and I feel like rookies can fade out if their team isn't in the playoffs. Even if it's a first round sweep it's still better than not having a chance to go far in the playoffs at all. There's no real money on the line here or anything so it should be as fun as possible while making it somewhat rewarding for those who do well. At the end of the day, there's going to be plenty of disappointment for every player in their career so at least give them a fighting chance while their young.

16. slash's secret bonus prompt SHHHHHH. Written, 2 TPE (100 words min.)

Luke let you keep the money you stole from him in the heist, and won't tell the authorities. But you have to take him on a wonderful date using the money. How does your evening go? What dining and activities do you have in store for good ol' Lukey boy?

I will take Luke to the library of congress. He seems to like the history of the SHL so I think he would like the collection of works they have there. He could not read everything there if he tried so I know it will keep him busy for a while. Someone will probably have to take over his responsibilities while he's gone so I guess that is actually a net negative for the SHL. Either way, this should be a fun time for Luke. When he gets engrossed I guess I'll chill on reddit or something while he's reading. Maybe not the best date.
