3. In my point of view I would say that the four stars on the Four Star cup stand for hockey, heart, happiness, and home. The first h in the stars of the four star cup is pretty self explanatory, this is a hockey league therefore one of the stars if for hockey (pretty simple). For the second star, it stands for heart because of the heart and passion that goes into being able to win the four star cup. Happiness is the third star because of the pure joy that not only goes along with winning the cup but also by playing the game of hockey in the first place. Last of all, the fourth star in the four hs of the four star cup stars is home. For players in the SMJHL, hockey is more than just a game, it is the place they call home, a place full of family and love which is embodied in winning the four star cup.
4.I am not the biggest fan of superstitions related to the playoffs in SHL however there are a few things that I have heard others talk about being superstitious about. The Timber as a team has a little known tradition where we sacrifice a tree before big games as a belief that it brings good luck from mother nature. The process of tree sacrifice is very particular and has many steps to it which I am sure I will miss many of and probably should not really mention in the first place. But I digress...some highlights of this tradition is the type of tree is chosen based on the vibes of the opponent for the game and then the tree is cut down by the mvp of the previous game and then a piece of wood is given to every player to burn right before the game. Of course it doesn't all go to waste, we use it for team bonfires or other purposes as well. 5.A very little known but iconic character in my heart and in SHL history who deserves recognition is willy bottom, one of the most heroic janitors known to some in the SHL. When you think of a janitor you might just think of someone who cleans bathrooms and sweeps when no one is around, but if you are only thinking of that then you probably (certainly) have not met Willy B. Willy is an unsung hero of the SHL for his kind and caring heart. He always went out of his way to make everyone have a better day, even remembering what candy players like and surprising them by leaving candy in the locker rooms. Willy did all the work of a janitor and so much more. Not only did he deal with nasty stinky locker rooms, he made them feel like home, with scented candles and all. May have been a fire hazard but we never cared because Willy was always there for us when we needed it most. 6.The new stat that I think would be interesting to add into the sim would be stealth. Especially since my player is platypus secret agent Perry Theplatypus, I think that this could benefit him greatly. Stealth could maybe be similar to agility in some regards but I think that something that would make stealth special is the element of surprise. Players high in stealth would pull out moves from nowhere and become the hero when least expected. It's not super easy to be stealthy on the ice, not like there's anywhere to hide but I think this stat would give a player a certain quiet grace to them, skating and moving so smoothly that you hardly ever hear them move...they just appear and dominate. This stat would also be helpful when a player is subbing in they may be able to be sneaky about it and appear on the ice at the exact right time. |
