5. Written, 3 TPE, Cup Check (150 words min.)

Which league has the more prestigious cup in your opinion, the SHL or the SMJHL? Which cup is harder to win? A lot is said about the different skill sets required to GM in each league, so which do you personally think is tougher to manage? Is a trophy case with three Four Star Cups as cool as a trophy case with three Challenge Cups? Maybe you think it’s even cooler. Why?

The challenge cup is by far the more prestigious cup to win, I don’t think its even close. Without even thinking two hard I can come up with 2 reasons why this is case. The first being, a J career is only 4 seasons long and there seem to be quite a few career J players in the league. Just keep recreating and winning cups and now your trophy case is full. The other reason I can easily think of is that its just easier to get on a powerhouse team in the J. In the SHL, Atlanta became only the 8th team to reach the finals since S53. This is the first season since the switch to FHM that their isn’t either a Buffalo or Hamilton team in the finals. In the J I know Newfoundland seems to win all the time, but there are gaps in their dominance that allows for other teams to win. Or maybe Im just stuck in an LR with all NL and VAN players and everyone has a 4 star cup but me. (180 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?

My predictions for this seasons IIHF tournament are the same as my predictions every time it comes to write CW. Canada is going to win the gold medal and after that it doesn’t really matter to me who wins silver and bronze. This Canadian team is just loaded and deep with talent from top TPE players to legends like Aaron Wilson and Theo Morgan. I know it’s been a few seasons since this team has been at the top of the podium, but this season is different! After a terrible and extremely frustrating season in Edmonton, you are going to see Kyle Sutton just absolutely unload and lead the way. The only weak spot on this roster if you had to name one, is goal. The goalies are a bit on the underwhelming side of TPE, but since goalie TPE doesn’t matter can I even consider this a weakness? Make no mistake about it, Canada will cruise to a 1st place finish. (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!

There wasn’t much creativity put into my player when I created him. The nationality I choose was no different, being from Canada I didn’t even think twice about which country I would be representing. I’ve watched the World Juniors for as long as I can remember, seeing the leagues future stars at a young age was always fun. So to be able to partake in the SHL’s version of these tournaments, I wanted to represent my home country. I was even offered to transfer out to another country for IIHF but I declined. It was win with Canada or don’t play at all. So far its been play with Canada but don’t win, but that changes this season. GO CANADA GO! (121 words)

18. Written, 2 TPE - The Procrastinator Special! (100 words min.)

Congratulations, procrastinator!  Through your terrible time management skills, you’ve unlocked a special task! [TEAM] has won it all! Were the playoffs as you expected this year, or were there some surprises? Did anything stand out to you about this season’s final series?

The playoffs started off how I expected this season with the only prediction I got wrong being the TBB and ATL series. After the second round my bracket was all shot to hell. I thought we were going to get the matchup we should have had last season between LAP and BAP. Both those teams choked and what we got was a series probably nobody predicted between ATL and CHI. I would have hoped to see these two teams play a tighter, more closer series but it was what it was. I will say that I was way more invested in these playoffs after my team was eliminated. Really felt like we could have had a new champion emerge. If this is a sign of things to come, then maybe the health of the league isnt so dire. (138 words)
