4. Written, 3 TPE, League vs. League (150 words min.)

Could any SMJHL team in history (if they were NOT capped at their usual 350/425 builds) have beaten any SHL team in history a 7 game series? Why or why not? What historical teams do you think are good candidates for this trial? Who do you think is the best team in SMJHL history and the worst team in SHL history? Would the J team have a chance? Make your case!

I don't know the SMJHL history at all except for the first 3 seasons of my career that I spent there, so I'm just gonna be biased and say that my team, S48 Vancouver Whalers, is the best team in SMJHL history. (It was a great team but tbf I don't know if it's the best ever but wtv). And the S48 Vancouver Whalers could, no I mean, would beat the worst team in the SHL history, the 0-50 Tampa Bay Barracuda (which was trella's fault btw). I mean I don't have the exact numbers, but I remember that MCP was signing sub-200 tpe IFAs to fill out the roster, so tpe-wise it must've been close to an smjhl quality roster anyway, and the S48 Vancouver had like 13 capped players. I feel like it would've been a close series even if whalers were still at their 350 builds. Although worth noting that these teams are from different sim engine eras.

Code:
7. Milestones, up to 3 TPE

Milestones are folded in with CW. So just link your Milestone claim as task 12 for up to 3 TPE towards your 16 total.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Post your claim in the milestones thread for tpe earned per stat, and then link that post in your CW submission. This is done because the person who grades CW will be a different person than double-checks milestones.

11. Graphic, 3 TPE, Participation Banner

The team’s owner is complaining that the rafters in your arena are looking empty. You’ve been tasked with creating a banner for one of your team’s achievements this season. Did you get eliminated in round one? Sounds like a banner to me! Did you lose a record number of road games? Banner! Win the cup? I guess that’s a banner too.

16. Written, 2 TPE, Top Line (100 words min.)

Create the best line you can using real life or SHL hockey players from your player’s home country. Give me 3F, 2D and a G– and a short description of why you chose who you did!

F - Robert Phelps. Teddy was one of the most consistent players of his era, and a role model for the younger players.
F - Dick Clapper. Made the team in his shl rookie season, and somehow he's still on the team despite being like 45 years old by now.
F - Matt Kholin. Kholin was team captain and LR leader almost his entire career for Canada.
D - Adam Barron. Wears the C for Canada now, already won 4 gold medals and he's not stopping
D - Gabriel Johnson. Gabe sucks but it's almost like the hatred for Gabe united the LR each season.
G - Walter Hobbs. Canada hasn't had a max earning goalie in a while, and I think Hobbs was the last one

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? Did the engine switch make a difference for you?

The biggest thing that everyone probably noticed after the engine switch is that scoring in the league is up, there are noticeably more goals scored per game than in fhm 6. Which I guess is something no one's going to complain about, except maybe goalies. Parity in the league also generally seems to be better, but Idk if it's due to fhm 8 or all of the rule changes in the last 10 seasons or so. But anyway, Seattle beat three higher seeded team on their way to the finals, then took the presidents trophy winner to 6 games, and I don't know if something like that happened before.
