Task #1 - 3 tpe

I would love to be playing for the Detroit Falcons right now. They have been an amazing team to watch all season long and I think it would be a lot of fun to be a part of their playoff run. They are in the final, after all. I chose the Falcons because I believe they have been the best team in the league this season and I think it would be a lot of fun to be a part of their playoff run. I think I would fit in well on their roster as a depth player and could contribute on both ends of the ice. I think that I could help the Falcons win the cup by providing some depth and energy on the bottom six. I think my speed and two-way game would be a valuable asset to their team. I wouldn’t be scoring a lot of goals and my main priority would be just bringing energy to the ice.

Task #5 - 3 tpe

I have been working with the Make a Wish Foundation for a few months now and it has been an amazing experience. I have had the opportunity to help out with various events and fundraisers and it has been a great way to give back to the Anchorage community. I have also had the chance to meet some incredible people who are involved with the organization.

I have had the privilege of volunteering with this organization multiple times and it has been an incredibly rewarding experience. I have had the opportunity to meet some amazing kids and their families and help make their wishes come true. One of the most memorable experiences was when I got to help grant a little girl's wish to score a goal for the Anchorage Armada. It was so amazing to see the joy that it brought her and her family. I am so grateful to have been able to be a part of that and I will always treasure the memories that helped make for that family.

Task #8 - 3 tpe

I would rate the season as a success. I learned that I need to be more aware of what is happening on the ice and be more aggressive. I think I performed well in my rookie season considering I was late to the party. I was able to put up some points, but I definitely need to improve on my defensive game. I need to be able to be more reliable in my own end and not make as many mistakes. I had some ups and downs but I think I improved as the season went on. I had a lot of expectations for myself personally and I think I met most of them. I just need to keep working hard and improving my game for next season.

Overall, I definitely improved a lot throughout the season, and I think I ended the season on a strong note, which is always important, even though Anchorage didn’t make the playoffs. I didn't really have any expectations for the team going into the season, so I'm happy with how we all performed with the tools we had, overall. I think I need to work on my skating and my shot a bit for next season and I’m excited for the SHL draft!

Task #10 - 3 tpe

We are all excited at Anchorage for next season because we believe we have the potential to be a great team. We have a lot of young talent and we are looking to add more pieces to our team. We'll have players who feel they have something to prove, and this time we won't have to deal with injuries. We'll have a full season of players that fit our system, and we'll hopefully have a better understanding of how to help our young players grow.

Anchorage also will have the first overall pick in the upcoming SMJHL entry draft, and they will be looking to add a talented player who can help them take the next step and compete for the 4-star cup. I fully believe that we will be able to add a key player with this pick as well. Anchorage are hoping to be back in the mix next season and, if things go our way, we'll make a deep run into the playoffs.

Task #11 - 3 tpe

This offseason, I'm spending my time focusing on the future. I'm looking at our team and figuring out what we need to do to get better. I'm also working on some personal goals, like improving my skating and strength. I'm also spending time with my family and friends, and enjoying the summer weather and catching up on sleep.

However, I will say that after a disappointing end to our season, all of us in Anchorage will be  taking some time to decompress, recharge, and refocus on our priorities as a team next season. For some of us, that means spending time with family and friends, for others it means traveling and exploring new places. Some of us are using the time to work on our game, either on the ice or in the gym. However we're spending our time, we're all looking forward to next season and a chance to redeem ourselves. That said, all of the rookies are excited for the draft!

Task #13 - 1 tpe

Question A

I think Bubba Tree has the best name in the final series between Detroit and Newfoundland, simply because I find it funny. Like, what is a Bubba Tree? Is it a really big, fat tree? Or is it possibly just a tree that someone named Bubba really enjoys? The world will never truly know.
