Task #1 - 3 TPE

If you weren't playing for your current team, which team would you most like to be playing for in the playoffs.  Explain why you chose that team and how you think you'd slot into their roster.  Would your player make a big impact on the team?  Would you improve their chances of winning a cup? 

Requirements:  150+ words. 

If I wasn't playing for the Anchorage Armada (God Forbid), I probably would have signed the Beserkers if I recall correctly. Its funny looking back on that now because that was the team that knocked us out of the playoffs in a 4 game sweep, so I'm curious what would have happened if I had been on the other side. I think I'd probably be on the 2nd line defense, but maybe even third to be honest as they are a pretty loaded team. During the regular season, despite being a rookie, a posted a pretty solid 39 points with 30+ assists. I like to think that if I had been on Newfoundland this season its possible that number might be even higher! Currently NL is getting throttled in the finals by a really good Vancouver team and I highly doubt that my player would bring enough offensive game to the table to make much of a difference in the outcome but I suppose its possible. At the end of the day though, theres no other team I'd rather play for than Anchorage, I feel 100 percent confident I made the right decision, and I'm excited for what the future holds there!

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.

Honestly, I think I had a pretty damn successful rookie campaign. I came into this league not knowing what to expect as I signed up just after the draft. I was flooded with dms from GMs trying to sign me and I didn't really know what to do with it. I was worried I was going to flame out and be a real bummer of a signing. But in the end, I have basically been a max earner, and have apparently built my player pretty succesfully as I have been one of the premier offensive Dmen in the league, especially if you just look at the rookie class. 39 points is nothing to sneeze at! Before next season, I really think I need to work on starting to add some more shot accuracy to my game. I take a TON of shots for my team but have rarely been able to put them inthe back of the net. If I could even add 5 goals to my total from this year for next season, I think this team will really benefit. As far as my expectations, I don't think I had many beyond, do my PTs and earn some cash, continue to build my player, and make a name for myself in the league. All of which I feel I've done.

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.

This has been a playoffs full of one-sided playoff series'. So far, only 1 series has gone to 7 games, and only 3 series have even gone to 6 games. So with that being said, my answer is going to be a little out of the ordinary as it was a 4-0 sweep. However, if you really break down the series game by game you'll see what I mean. The 2nd round matchup between Newfoundland and Anchorage was really intense. In a 4 game series, 3 of the matchups were not only 1 goal games but also went to overtime. Unfortunately for my team we lost them all, but this series was on a knife edge nearly every game and if we had just had a bounce or two our way in the OT periods, it could have been totally different!

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.

Currently I'm spending my offseason trying to get better and better each day. Collecting as much TEEP as possible so that I can try and catch up with some of the other draftees. I got started a little later than most and despite the catch-up TPE, I'm still really struggling to match the total numbers of those people that joined a few weeks before.

In addition to trying to make my player better, I've had quite a few meaningful conversations with SHL GMs from around the league. In my conversations with them I'm trying to get across my desire to play for a winner, but also build something special from the ground up. I realize it'll take a while for me to contribute but my hope is to make some good connections with GMs who might feel like I'm a solid fit for their franchise.

Other than working out and networking out (kek), I've honestly just spent a lot of time hanging out in the locker room with the boys. We've got a special group and despite a few players being about to move on for good, I believe we have a quality core to get Anchorage back into the mix in the next couple of seasons.
