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 were playing for another other team in the SMJHL playoffs that wasn't the Vancouver Whalers, I would probably want to be a member of the Kelowna Knights! The Knights are an easy pick for me honestly because I have a lot of history there, I used to be their GM back in the S30s and the S40s, and my first player ever on the site (Nour Harrak) was a member of the Kelowna Knights. In addition to this, all my good friends play there like Gooney, Waters and Aleks, which is very cool and neat. I would probably not start for them as I'm a rookie goalie and they have a starter, but it would be neat to ride the bench and hang out with those boys, so while I wouldn't make an on ice impact, I would definitely make an off ice cultural impact. I would not improve their chances of a cup, but I would decrease them if they started me.

Your team is giving back to their supporters by holding a fan appreciation day for one of their games, where the team will hand out a special commemorative item to show thanks for their continued support of the franchise. You have been tasked to design the product to be given out to the attendees (can be a rally towel, foam finger, bobble head, etc.)

- GRAPHIC: Include a picture of the item and at least one SMJHL logo; must look like you at least kinda tried.
So the Vancouver Whalers did not make the SMJHL Playoffs unfortunately but they still wanted to show appreciation for their fans so on the final game of the regular season they decided to give their fans reason to be excited for the future by handing out tshirts to all attendees! The tshirts are blue and have a green stylized photo of the Whalers' exciting new young core made up of players from the last draft: Miroslav Ketil, B Jobin, Capy Bara, Matthew McGarry and Benjamin Surkhi-Ze'ev. Underneath the photo of them, the text reads: VANCOUVER WHALERS S64 CLASS, with the subtext underneath that reading out all of their names.

Task #4 - 2 TPE
Write a magazine style article or make a magazine cover featuring a player comparison from any series matchup. You can compare player stats, etc. or get creative and compare their pregame superstitions or whatever.
Requirements:
- WRITTEN: 100+ words.
- GRAPHIC: Team logos and player renders plus an article blurb or tagline.
This Kelowna Knights and Colorado Raptors series is shaping up to be one of the S64 season's most exciting matchups for us to watch, mainly for its showcase of young talent, which is probably going to be the difference maker for these teams heading into this quarterfinals matchup. To me, the real question is which of these 2 big name S64 rookies is going to make a bigger splash in their first playoffs: Tommy Westbrook But this time i upd, or Jolmi Koivu? A total of 27 points for Tommy put up 9 goals and 18 assists, with Jolmi putting up 12 goals and 23 assists for 35 points. They put up near identical hit totals, average time on ice, and game rating, but whichever one of these two steps up more will be big for their respective teams.

Task #11 - 3 TPE
It's almost 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.
It's been a bit of a relief for B Jobin that he's able to finally unwind after his first full season in the SMJHL. The Vancouver Whalers had a very obvious down year, specifically focusing more on development and building, but the season being over doesn't mean it's time for B Jobin to take a break from that focus. Of course he's gonna be taking time to relax and unwind this coming offseason, as the relaxation will be really good for him after the heavy workload he faced, but he's going to be doing a lot to improve on the season he just had, including continuing his on ice practices, his dry land exercising and working closely with the Whalers goaltending coach to ensure he's at the top of his game at the start of his sophomore season. Overall though, outside of working on his game, he'll likely spend the summer with his good friends Miroslav Ketil, Jolmi Koivu, Tommy Westbrook But this time i upd, Ricky Koivu and Wide Peepo Happy 3 Koivu.

Task #12 - 3 TPE
Write a pre-draft scout report on your player from the perspective of a journalist covering the prospects of the S64 SHL draft class. What do possible SHL suitors have to be excited (or perhaps wary?) about when it comes to potentially drafting your player?
Requirements: 150+ words.
B Jobin had a below average rookie season in the SMJHL with the Vancouver Whalers, facing a lot of struggles during year one as the team finished last in the SMJHL standings. His Goals Against Average likely sits as his most alarming stat coming out of last season, sitting at a 3.86, nearly 4 goals against per game. However, the more astute scouters will notice that many of B Jobin's shortcomings are directly rooted in the poor play and inexperience of the team in front of him, and they stop at Goals Against Average. Looking beyond that, Jobin lead the league in saves, making over 500 more saves than the average of the top 10 in saves made, really indicating his ability to take on a starter's heavy workload in the future. In addition to this, he finished tied for 8th in the league in Save Percentage with a .908, and 8th in Goals Saved Against Average with 8.45, all of this done as a rookie. Despite the rough first season, a deeper dive into B Jobin shows that he has the potential to be a fantastic future starter in SHL.
