6. Written, 3 TPE, Dream Team 150 words min

You have to create the perfect SHL or SMJHL line for your player to be on. Who do you put on your line and why? Is it something about their style of play that compliments yours? Does it only include players from the present, or do you dip into the past to find an incredible D pair? Or are you just choosing your friends ‘cause they’d be fun to win the cup with?

That would be my choice. The choice was simple, I just picked up the best Latvian players of this moment, because it's with them that I have the greatest pleasure to play together. It's not that I don't like my SHL club but just have to meet with these players once a season and that moment is pretty special, given that they're actually all the leaders of their clubs. I have also had the honour of playing a major role in Montreal this season and being a leader, and together we are one great and great five. I could make a variety of five, because I've had the honour to play with a lot of players. It would be possible to set up a player-top for SMJHL as well as a player-top for former SHL clubs. The options are different, but this time I stick to Latvians. (162 words)

16. Written, 2 TPE, Home Country (100 words min.)

Why did you choose your IIHF country? Is it where you’re actually from? Is it where your friends play? Was it for a specific role play reason? I want to know how you decided where your player comes from!

The answer is simple. I'm a latte. And I like my country, I'm a real patriot of my country. I also think if I had offers to play elsewhere, I'd certainly give up. It's all about nothing but the fact that I love Latvia. Many don't know where Latvia is, but those who follow hockey know who Latvia is and what its strengths are. I would also recommend that everyone stay here because, although we are not a huge country, we are a beautiful and historic country. Then I can say that the Latvians are a real hockey nation that always loves this game. And I certainly don't want to see my national hockey favorites in low places every year. I'll certainly change it! (124 words)

15. Written, 3 TPE, IIHF Hype (150 words min.)

Write your predictions for this year's IIHF tournament or WJC! Do you think the same teams will be on top this year, or are we due for some turnover? How are you feeling about your country’s chances this time? Any players that you think will light up the tournament?

Every season, I have the chance to predict the tournament, and I am happy to say that I think this tournament might be more interesting than usual. Here we will also see new features in the direction of the future, as it is slowly apparent which teams choose to build more like team remodeling. The leaders will certainly see USA, Canada, Sweden and Finland teams as usual. I'm sure we'll see a pretty familiar scene in the bottom end. Germany, Latvia, Russia and Austria - these teams will certainly be more or less at the bottom of the table. As head of the Latvian team, I have the opportunity to look at this from another point. Personally, I'm trying to attract new players to the team, and I hope that will justify it in the name of the future. I'm ready to go over any obstacles to lift the team to the top and keep it there.

2. 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. Atlanta is a recent expansion team reaching it's first finals appearance. Chicago has been a dominant force in the league for a long time now, with their last cup win only seven seasons ago in Season 57. If you're betting on these finals, do you go for the experienced vets in Chicago, or the hungry Atlanta first-timers?

b. Chicago's lineup much more active with their sticks than Atlanta's, racking up 97 takeaways to Atlanta's 79. This late in the playoffs, how do you adjust to a team that's so adept at picking your pocket?

c. Atlanta has only 32 penalty minutes in these playoffs compared to Chicago's 45. With emotions high and the Challenge Cup on the line, do you think discipline will play a big role in this series? 

d. Similar to last season's finals, we see Chicago running a balanced ice-time attack against Atlanta's targeted approach that has some players seeing sheltered minutes. Last season the more balanced attack won out. Do you think we'll see the same again? Why or why not?

a.) I haven't looked into a series of results so far, so it's easy and objective for me to answer this question about that choice. I'm certainly just about winning a fight, but I'm a little Latvian about Chicago. But if we look from the historical side, I'm about Atlanta's victory and a new record in the history books. (58 words)

c.) Discipline always plays a huge role, especially in moments as responsible as this. I would like to enjoy this responsibility and see how much I can pick up. Each earned rejection can change the team's game to the opposite direction, which certainly can't always be positive, so I say it's not worth playing with fire and there needs to be a huge discipline.
