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!
Answer: I am probably a bit biased but I think the season fifty five Newfoundland Berserkers are the best SMJHL team in history. When you look at things that team would have future SHL MVPs, top points scoeres at forward (and record breaks), absolute studs on the backend and a starting goaltender at the SHL level. The team consisted of future star SHLers such as: Steve Harrington, Ryuuji Minamino, Jack Klompus, Patric Twist, Mats Marner, Cale Amundsen, Elias Kierkegaard, Vaseline Podcalzone, Jonas Kahnwald, (Clean) Andrei Kostitsyn and many more. Now just imagine if that was your SHL team right now with all those players I am sure you would have a cup team right there. For the team that they would be in SHL history it would easily have to be the Tampa Bay Barracuda team that had a zero win and sixty six loss season which was the worst record ever in SHL history.

5. Written, 3 TPE, Secret Weapon (150 words min) It’s never too early to start thinking about how you’re going to gain a competitive edge next season! How is your team going to go the extra mile to get wins next season? Is it a secret training regimen? Sneaky equipment modifications? Booby trapping the visiting teams’ locker room? Anything goes.

Answer: Player engagement and motivation is one of the keys to success for any hockey team including the ones in the SHL. Motivated players train harder, work through difficulties and maintain their commitment. It’s a more enjoyable experience, for players and the team, to play with others who are engaged and motivated. Therefore I think improving player motivation is the way to go for the Chicago Syndicate to get a competitive edge for season sixty seven. The first thing will be to understand player enjoyment of playing and training hockey. Its important to analyze if it is enjoyable to train and play in the team. Overall a lack of enjoyment can actually reduce the motivation to succeed. Engaging payer discussion on sleep, nutrition, recovery and life outside hockey will also provide the proper motivation for a competitive edge. There is so much more to game-day performance than simply doing the drills. Sleep, nutrition, stress at work or from other relationships, and injuries are all major inputs to a player’s performance.

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!
Answer: Having played for team Latvia for all of Mats Maner’s SHL career, today we will be looking at creating the best line possible with other SHL players from team Latvia At left wing I would have to go with myself Mats Marner who was the leading goal scorer in the SHL this past season. At right wing I would have to go with Chimkin Wing who has been the Buffalo Stampede’s best player for a while now. At center I would have to go with Roderic Banes who has shown a lot of promise. On defense I would go with Chris Goodname and Nikolaj Boyle and in net Evert Jansson.

23. Written, 2 TPE, Dreams (100 words min.) Sticking with the “last prompt is just letting people write about themselves” idea, here we go! I’m curious to know what sort of things you hope for in the world! What are your dreams? Maybe that’s a dream job, a dream house, an opportunity for your kids. I don’t know! Whatever you want to write about. What do you hope for in the future?
Answer: I do not think one hundred words will be enough to properly describe my dream job, house or opportunity for my future kids so instead I am going to focus on what my dream house would look like. I am a big fan being by the water and swimming, kayaking, boating, having a morning tea on the dock or watching the sun set over the water. So I would want to have a waterfront property on a lake or river. I would also love to have a house with a big backyard where I could have a hot tub, mini sauna, nice patio for outdoor hangouts and barbecue set. The interior of the house would have a nice master bedroom with a jacuzzi bathtub and I would love a lot of natural lighting with hardwood floors and granite counter tops for the kitchen.
