4. Written, 3 TPE, Do You Touch It? (150 words min.)

In the NHL there’s a well known superstition that any team that touches their conference championship trophy won’t win the Stanley Cup. Are there any superstitions like that in the SHL playoffs? If so, what are they? Where do they come from? Does your team or your player believe in them? Why or why not?

It is a very well known superstition that players in the NHL often choose not to touch the trophy they get for winning the conference finals in the playoffs. Personally, I think that this superstition is pointless. Well first of all, unlike many sports players, I am really not superstitious at all. So if it were up to me, if the Chicago Syndicate were to win the conference finals (and we have before of course), then I would be completely fine with touching that trophy. However, since I am not currently a captain of the team, I do not really have any choice in the matter. While I am not superstitious at all, I do respect the leadership of my teammates, so if they did not want us to touch the trophy, then I would not. Because it is not that I particularly want to touch the trophy to begin with, I just do not really care either way.

Choose a dish from your IIHF federation and tell me about it! Does your player make it? A member of their family? What’s special about it to you?

My home federation in the IIHF in Japan, so I would like to choose a dish that not many people know about, which is called natto. Basically what it is, is just fermented soy beans. It has a very strong odour which anyone who is near it can smell. I personally have never tried it, and to be honest, I really do not want to try it ever. It is basically a running joke with my friends that if one of my friends ever gets a six pack, then I will try eating natto. But until then I will stay far far away. I will not try it.

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?

Well, to be honest, I would have to say that the playoffs did not completely go as expected. I definitely was happy to see that there was some new blood in the finals though that ended up bringing home the Challenge Cup. Of course, being on the Chicago Syndicate, I had really hoped that we would back in there in the finals, so in that way, the playoffs did not completely go as expected. However, we knew that it would be difficult to repeat, so we just have to tip our cap to the team that beat us, and I would congratulate the champions on a great season.
