This season was a tough one for Calvin Hobbes due to various reasons. He struggled to find the motivation to play hockey and he was showing up the practices just to earn the required TPE to maintain his leading role in the draft class. Additionally he was super busy off ice with family visiting multiple times and often being away from home, even on the off days for the team. To top it all off he lost is old grandma towards the end of the season, while it was expected it is always tough to lose someone close.
On the upside though Calvin finally started to really produce offensively with 47 points, more than double he has scored any other season. 18 goals and 29 assists put him in the top 5 points scorers for the Wolfpack. While he still has more to give and higher amibtions, it's a good start and a on ice season he is proud of.


As the SMJHL is a developmen league for new players and users the best way is to keep the current format where every team makes the playoffs. As a new player, having your season cut short by missing playoffs will take away from the experience in the critical first few months when you're starting in the league. The off season is already long and boring enough without risking an even longer one for our newest users. While it may not be totally fair as the playoff can be very sim luck dependant, it is not the main league and most users will graduate to the SHL where the real challange awaits both players and managers.


As always I would think my own Sweden will do great, we have a very stacked roster with a lethal offence. The addition of Jimmy Wagner makes the team even scarier for the other teams. Calvin Hobbes has grown a lot and should by now be a contributing factor to the team. But the biggest stars for team Sweden will still be the old guard, Wagstrom, Söderberg, Krashwagen to name a few. Zlatan Ibrahimovic Jr. who was amazing during the regular season will prove a key part of the Swedish defence, backed by youngsters Bjerg and Oscarsson the defence will prove difficult to overcome! Finally guarding the net, the ever present Jobin backed up by St. Ark makes the entire team deadly.
Henrik Lekberg Osterman will continue his point scoring tendencies from the regular SHL season and will be one of the key players for the other teams to stop.
For other teams, the biggest question I have, is, will Mitchell van der Heijden continue his dominance he showed in the SHL over in the IIHF or is the team a big part of why he was so dominant?


a, As much as it pains me to say it, they both deserve to be in the final. Buffalo from their continued dominance, great trades and ability to keep on top of their game for so long whne everyone is chasing them. Chicago from rising up and becoming one of the scariest teams in the league

b, To me, the most impressive is how long Buffalo has managed to stay on top of their game, even when it looked like Hamilton were coming to take the throne the Stampede has continued to grind and show a preserverence that is mighty impressive. As a memeber of another team, it's extremely frustrating to continue seeing Buffalo being so dominant, but that just further shows how impressive the feat is!

c, The Buffalo stampede logo is quite honestly boring, the colours don't go too well together, they blend in one another making it difficult to see. The Buffalo in the logo is not detailed enough and a lot more could be done to truly create an amazing logo! The poor colour scheme follows through to when the Stampede wins the cup and the site is following their colour scheme making the site difficult to read and follow

d, Best player in a sim league is difficult to say, as it is so sim luck dependant, I will chose to give the award to the best person (I've interacted with) from the teams, sköldpaddor and Gunnar Söderberg! Such and including and amazing member that continous to be helpful and try their best to make everyone have a good time in the LRs. With Söderberg Chicago has a real LR leader that is difficult to match
