Prompt 1 - Gibson Victor Helstrom (3 TPE)

Prompt 2 - GM (176 words / 3 TPE)

For me the GM or GREAT MAN should really be Talls. He was and still is the first GM I ever had any contact with. He really has been a driving force in the SHL. It’s hard to say but or confirm in any way but without him being a great guy in the locker room who know if I’d still be part of the SHL or greater sim league community. He’s been building a great locker room in Anaheim over the past few seasons and hopefully this is only the start of that. I’m sure he really is a very very deserved person who should get the award of greatest GM l. As a member of this community in the Uk is surprising how quickly he respond to earlier message sent by self and other European members. He really is on at all time and ready to help with anything that you could imagine from advice to jokes and chatting about the weekly sports result. All in all he truly is a great great man! 

Prompt 6 (a / b / c / d) - (285 Words / 4 TPE)


a.)    The goal of any player when the join any junior hockey league is too win cup plane and simple. Everybody dreams of lifting that trophy and being part of the winning team. Stats are great and all and maybe that touch more memorable but I think most player would trade a league stat leader for a single championship victory without hesitation.


b.)   Let’s be honest it’s sport and who knows what could happen in any given game or series. I think it’s safe to say that’s Chi / Tex / Ham / Buf are probably the best four teams in the league. Statically is was very likely that given favourable match ups and seeding that those four teams would almost have certainly made the semi finals given the opportunity but as I said its sport and who knows.


c.)    If we are to relocate the Hamilton franchise to a location of higher population I would at the Banff deserve a franchise. A small town for sure but one that holds a lot of history though not with hockey. Banff has a high tourist attraction due to the winter skiing slopes and summer hiking or mountain biking. This would provide that extra push and cash into the community to really kick it into the next gear. 


d.)   This is a fairly easy answer here and it has to be Ryan Shepard of Chigago. Over the last two seasons he really has been a great player contributing 53 & 60 assists along with 29 & 33 goals. He’s just been a power house. I’ve no doubt that a title will come his way soon to really cap off a Hall of fame career as it stands. 


Prompt 11a - (101 words / 2 TPE)


It was far close final that’s last year 4 – 0 whitewash to Hamilton. This year Texas we’re able to get there revenge and take a very close and hard fought 4-3 victory in the finals. It was a great series with the score being 3-3 after six games with some close OT results going both ways. In the end Texas took the deciding game 4-2 to take the title and get their revenge over Hamilton. This gives them a second title in 4 years and solidify a then as one of the best run franchise in the SHL past or present.

Prompt 15 - (101 Words / 3 TPE)

For me a junior I care a touch more about the WJC than the IIHF. Hopefully the British isles (my team) play well and hopefully push through the tournament a touch further and make a solid run into the playoffs. Personally I would my player to have a decent run scoring a few goals and racking up those assists. Last year was a good challenge. Overall I can see Canadian victory this year, they look a strong team on paper and ice. Hopefully the tournament will be a great showcase with lots of surprises and fun twist. Only time will tell.
