Task #1 - 1 TPE
Interestingly enough, Quebec and Nevada were both eliminated in the semifinals last season. They both now meet to compete for the 4 Star Cup. Will Quebec win their first championship since S58? Or will first time finalists Nevada continue their dominant run through the playoffs?
Requirements: 50+ words.
Don't think Nevada can be stopped. Only question is will they do the octopus thing and not lose a game in the playoffs. Sauveterre has been absolutely lights freakin out in goal and though goalies don't get any love in FHM he should probably be the favorite for playoff MVP in my mind. Nickelback and King are also lighting up the lamp from the back end as well, So with great goaltending and offense coming from the back end I can't see Nevada losing this series in any way shape or form.

Your team is giving back to their supporters by holding a fan appreciation day for one of their games, where the team will hand out a special commemorative item to show thanks for their continued support of the franchise. You have been tasked to design the product to be given out to the attendees (can be a rally towel, foam finger, bobble head, etc.)
Requirements:
- WRITTEN: Write a 100 word blurb about the item, including details on during which game was / will be given out.
The Armada have great love for their fans and as such will be handing out a special gift at the first game of the playoffs. Everyone will receive a wooden ship with one of the Armada players being at the wheel as the captain of the vessel. There is a crazy woodcarving guy living in the deep woods near Anchorage who always shows up at the games with a giant wooden boat featuring all of the Armada players on it. He is a tad smelly in the animal skins he wears but the detail on the boat is simply amazing so the Armada thought to honor him and hand out mini versions of his boat with a single player on each. One potential difficulty however is the boat was designed with a long pointed figurehead sticking out. With no mascot per se it's just a long spear jutting out in front. Hopefully the fans won't start stabbing the opponents fans or each other with it if the game doesn't go the Armada's way.

Task #6 - 3 TPE
Professional hockey players are among the luckiest members of a community, but not everyone is given the same opportunities. As such, many players are expected to give back to the community by volunteering their time and energy off the ice with various charitable organizations. Either write about a charity or event that your player helped out with, or create a flyer or invitation for your event, including team logo, a photo of your player render, and the charity/charities being supported by the event.
Requirements:
WRITTEN: 150+ words
Of course Armada player Dusty Rhodes is a popular member of the community and is deeply involved in charitable causes in the Anchorage area. The Anchorage Children's hospital is very near and dear to him and when the team is in town he can always be found there entertaining the sick kids. Through his polka dot foundation Rhodes has given quite a sizable chunk of money to help fund the programs that make it easier for those kids. So Dusty decided to bring his pro wrestling buddies to Anchorage for a charity wrestling event featuring several top names. Since Anchorage is rarely on the wrestling tours this event should generate alot of interest and raise a ton of money for the hospital. The main event will be rookie Rhodes taking on legendary Calgary Dragon Kata Vilde with special guest referee the former Renegades great Vladimir Lidstrom. He also managed to persuade the members of degeneration X to show up and take on the members of the NWO in a special battle royal. It should be a special night and raise a ton of money for a great cause.

Task #8 - 3 TPE
You just played out your very first season in the SMJHL to start a new chapter in your career. Overall, how would you say you performed in your rookie season? Did you meet expectations you set for yourself individually? What do you need to improve on for next season?
Requirements: 150+ words.
Dusty Rhodes had a very interesting first season for the Armada. Drafted to be an enforcer for the team and protect the top guys, Rhodes was able to manage a bit of offense and chip in with 36 points this season. Not too shabby from a third line bruiser. What is interesting however is he was also one of the least penalized players on the squad and didn't even get into a single fight. One has to wonder if the element of fear played a part in this. Were the players in the J so scared of the physical stature and reputation of Rhodes that they simply stayed away from him and allowed him to roam untouched, giving him the ability to generate some offense? Or was Rhodes so scared in his rookie season of his coach benching him for being overly aggressive that he simply never found the timing right to drop the gloves so as not to penalize his team? I'd prefer to think it's the former, that Rhode's reputation has the entire SMJHL so scared of getting their asses handed to them that they just simply stayed away from him.

Task #10 - 2 TPE
It's almost officially the offseason. Whether you just won the cup or didn't even make it past the first round of the playoffs, it's time to take a break and look toward the SHL draft. In 100+ words, tell us how you're spending your time this offseason.
Requirements: 100+ words.
Dusty Rhodes will be spending his offseason on a food tour of the states. A huge Guy Fieri fan, Rhodes is always watching Diners,Drive Ins and Dives every chance he gets. Finding it too difficult to try and make the recipes on his own, Rhodes has listed his favorite episodes and has mapped out a road trip to visit all these places and try the food first hand. Not being comfortable in a small car like Fieri's convertible, Rhodes will be driving his custom polka dot Cadillac DeVille from town to town as he goes on what promises to be an epic culinary adventure. The team has already warned him about not being out of shape coming into camp next season so the last month of the offseason will be spent at the WWE performance center trying to get back into fighting shape for the upcoming Armada season.

Code:
Task #11 - 3 TPE
Write a pre-draft scout report on your player from the perspective of a journalist covering the prospects of the S66 SHL draft class. What do possible SHL suitors have to be excited (or perhaps wary?) about when it comes to potentially drafting your player?
Requirements: 150+ words.

Dusty Rhodes is a bruising winger for the Anchorage Armada. Drafted as an enforcer, teams in the SMJHL were very hesitant to draft Rhodes and he was finally taken in the 4th round by the Armada. Rhodes has been a pleasant surprise for the Armada in that he was able to show some offensive talent and contribute to the team with 36 points in his rookie season. So Rhodes is far from the one trick pony many thought when looking at his fighting abilities. In fact Rhodes appears to be very careful in choosing his moments and was actually one of the least penalized players on the Armada. It's pretty much expected that Rhodes will be an afterthought in the SHL draft as well since typically SHL GMs are notoriously short sighted when it comes to player's specific abilities. This despite the fact that Rhodes has outworked many of those drafted ahead of him in the SHL draft. Still being an enforcer teams are expected to shy away from Rhodes. A forward thinking GM such as perhaps Calgary's Muerto may decide to give the big forward a shot in the big league since Rhodes has shown he has a bit of offense in him. Either way Rhodes will show up and grind away for whoever decides to utilize the big man's unique skill set.
