You've been contacted by a big film studio who wants to center the next big hockey movie around your career so far! All you need to do is supply a 150+ word explanation about what will be key scenes of moments or games in your career, the cast, and a general timeline of the film as it follows you from team to team, junior to pro. This one is open ended so how you approach it is up to you!

The movie would start with leading up to the SMJHL junior draft, not receiving any interest from GMs, until a couple of hours before the draft when Anchorage reaches out, and says they are going to draft me based on another players recommendation. The next chapter of the movie would transition to Anchorage winning the cup, and the team celebrating, doing the cup parade. From there we would look forward to the SHL draft, and going through the scouting process. It would show the indepth interviews that I had with each team before transitioning to draft night and my name being called by the texas renegades. From there it would have a rookie season highlight reel, which would connect with the awards show and me winning the jesster award. Once again we would fast forward to the end of the following season, following the team through the playoffs, which would ultimately lead to the Texas renegades wining the cup.

6. Written, up to 4 TPE - Grab Bag: Pick up to 4 Challenge Cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words.

a. Hamilton was not taken to 7 games, Texas enjoyed two series sweeps, which team had the harder path to the final in your opinion?

b. Almost ten seasons ago, in S53, Hamilton enjoyed a 40 win season while Texas mustered a measly 9 wins. Now these two teams sit atop the season standings, and the playoff standings. Which is more impressive, to stay good for a decade, or to complete the rebuild and finally achieve greatness?

c. What is a renegade? What is a steelhawk? Who is Victor Helstrom from the CW trivia?

d. Who is the best player to play for either team? Is it a current player? Retired? Traded? Make your case.

B: I think going through the rebuild is much more impressive. Hamilton has benefited from many free agents joining their team season after season which allows them to stay at the top. Being a team building from nothing, keeping your players from not leaving and making into to the finals is a much harder task.

There has been some discussion on the forums but its always good to hear more opinions: Parity. Going back 6 seasons including this one there have been 4 teams in the finals: Buffalo, Chicago, Hamilton, and Texas. If you add New Orleans you can go back 8 seasons. 5 different teams for 8 straight finals. Is this an issue? Does it need to be fixed? Can it even be fixed? I'm interested to hear opinions, approaches, or just doom and gloom on whether you think this will change, or if we will still be talking about the same teams making the finals over and over in 5 seasons.

Parity will never be fixed in FHM, hamilton is continuously good because of 2 reasons: Discord and FHM tactics. Hamilton boast probably the most active SHL team discord, which they also allow players from another teams to take part of certain channels in their discord. This allows players outside of their organization to get an idea of what their team discord is like, it also allows you to connect with their team before having to join. With this advantage they are able to develop relationships with users, and have them interested in their team. From there, they have tested FHM and have seem to found a build that stands out stronger then others. With most of their forwards focusing on getting Puck Handling and Checking to 19/20 before any attribute. Despite other teams having similar roster tpe levels, the one difference is their player builds. These builds seem to be giving hamilton an advantage over other teams. With Hamilton winning, and a strong discord they will always be a top team. This effect is continued onto other teams as well, however not to the same effect. For example Texas has not attracted free agents and have built their team from within. However, if they cannot attract free agents they will fall out of contention.

This is for you folks in multiple sim sports leagues. Pick your player from another league and translate them to the SHL. Which player attributes from your sport would translate to hockey? Design a full player page for them based on the player page of your other league and discuss how they would perform in a season. Would they be godlike? Shitty? You can pull a switcheroo and discuss your SHL player playing in the other sport as well.

My player in PBE is DJ Law, DJ by all means was built to be a low focus player, not top of the line, but could do his job. I built him as a relief pitcher, that only had 2 good pitches, and his other attributes were majorly lacking. In baseball you are able to do this, as you can play specific roles and not have to be rounded in the full skills of the game. Converting him to the SHL would be like building a shooter, I would have a really good wrist shot and good slap shot as well. However his other attributes would be lacking. He would be an average skater, an average passer, would have very little strength in his game. The biggest downfall of his game would his defensively player, Law is built as a pure offensive player in PBE. Brining him to the SHL would be a disaster as he is not use to playing defence.
