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.
I think I had a silent first season. Statistically I performed middle of the pack for defenseman, but some of that has to do with COL bringing the young guys along slowly. While other teams had to thrust their rookies into big roles I got to play behind and learn from some great veterans. I didn't make mistakes when it mattered the most. People like Hans Graf and Angus McFife were able to mentor me which will tremendously improve my career in the long run. I think in general I met my expectations. I would love to have had more goals, hits, blocked shots but, it will come with time. In 66 games I had 5 goals, 19 assists for 24 points. Which for a bottom line rookie is fairly good. 36 hits and 64 blocked shots is kind of low though. I do hope that gets better in the coming seasons. Averaging less than one per game is pretty bad for a guy who is supposed to stop the opposition from scoring.

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.
The Colorado Raptors have a lot to look forward to next season. While the ending to this season was not what we had hoped we finally broke through our first round series curse. We lose quite a few veterans and the most important piece to our team, our Captain Angus McFife. The good news for Colorado is we have a bunch of up and comers who he has helped guide and mentor who will really do great work leading this team back to the playoffs. The good news is even with the additions of a few pieces this season to make our playoff push we did not empty the cupboard. Teams like Vancouver (who beat us in the 2nd round) will lose a lot of high earners and will have a hard time replacing them. While we will simply move everyone up a line and be in the same place we were during this playoff run. I foresee us pushing deep into the playoffs for years to come.

Task #13 - 1-4 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).
B. The Newfoundland Berserkers have lost the opening two games of this series. How can they turn it around?
C. You're in another timeline where Quebec and Colorado are the two cup finalists. What went right for them in this timeline's playoffs compared to ours where they lost in the semi finals?
D. We've been talking about the playoffs, but it's performance throughout the season that helped get our finalists into the playoffs. Who was the key player to success for either team (or both) during the regular season and why?
A. Pasta The Turtle is easily the best player name in this series. I mean who doesn't like Pasta or Turtles? I am curious about what kind of turtle he is? Is he a great sea turtle or perhaps a red-eared slider? I also have a lot of questions about how a turtle can play hockey.
(Words: 55)
B. Newfoundland has now lost the opening 3 games and is in danger of being swept. There are a few things they can do to turn it around. First, they need score more goals than their opponent scores. The second would be to unleash Pasta the Turtle on their opponents. He is probably dense and hurts to get hit by, so use that to their advantage.
(Words: 65)
C. COL making the finals could have easily been the timeline. They lost heart wrenching 1 goal games that could have gone their way. So I would say FHM favored them in the coin toss. Keep in mind their season series was 3-3. For QCC to make the finals? Well, based on the performance against NL they would need the entire NL roster to get sick before the series and have to forfeit.
(Words:72)
D. For NL I am going to say that Maxwell King was the difference maker during their season. Obviously NL scored A LOT of goals. However, they needed well rounded performances. King not only was second on the team in points, but also put up a respectable 76 blocks and 65 hits. By the same metric, Robot Sunfish would be the VAN difference maker. 61 points on the season to go with 51 blocks and 115 hits.

Task #14 - Latecomer Special - 2-3 TPE
So I see you waited until the end of the finals to complete your tasks! Well congrats to [TEAM] on winning the Four-Star! Reflecting back on the series, what were the keys to [TEAM] taking the finals? Name 3 key points that resulted in the series playing out the way it did.
Requirements:
WRITTEN: 100+ words for 2 TPE, 150+ for 3 TPE.
GRAPHIC: Includes a player render and a table with the 3 keys to the series results.
Vancouver winning the cup was no small feat, but there were some important things that contributed to them winning. First they had exactly 0 players who were rookies this season. Every player with the exception of their goalies were capped on TPE or only a few points from it. This helps tremendously when most teams at least field a 4th line of rookie players. Consider that Vancouver's average TPE was more than 100 more than a team like Colorado. You also have to consider things like stamina. When the entire team is maxed you can spread the time more evenly rather than wearing down a top one or two lines.
