5. Hotel room, 3 TPE
As a veteran and starting goalie on the Chicago Syndicate, Mat Smith has earned the right to his own hotel room when the team is travelling. Despite this, he chooses to bunk with his good friend Ben Jammin. In Smith's words, Jammin "always has the best tunes playing," "is the best on the team at snuggling," and "is always a delight to be around." When asked how they pass the time, Smith laughed and responded "we mostly just banter, sometimes he'll play some League of Legends and I'll play some Destiny 2. Other than that though we don't spend much time in the room, nobody on the team really does. We all go out for dinners and hang out together." Smith then thought for a moment before following it up with "well that's not true, we have been known to have some hotel room parties from time to time, nothing crazy but a great way to break up a long road trip.

18. Procrastinator, 2 TPE
Besides Chicago losing in the first round, I'm happy with the playoffs this season. Winnipeg and Manhattan are two teams I've liked for awhile so I have no complaints seeing either of them succeed. Good for Winnipeg for winning, I wouldn't call it an upset since they went all in this season with trades and such, and good for Manhattan, I can't say I wasn't surprised by their Cinderella run, and that'll be a team with many more chances to compete for a Cup. As far as FHM 8 goes, compete-wise it's definitely given some new life to the league and made it much more interesting since it's not just the top three or so teams that can win all the time, but I do really hate that presentation, the slowness and the decisions that the players make are just excruciating to watch. Still an upgrade over FHM 6 though.

22. Band, 3 TPE
I would create my band like a hockey team, with each member's role on the ice filling a similar role in the band. For example, I would be the drummer, since to me every great band has a capable drummer who you can rely on to be set a consistent beat that the rest of the band plays off of. Similarly, every hockey team needs a capable goalie who you can rely on to make routine saves to keep the skaters in the game. On bass guitar I would choose a defensive defenseman, the unsung hero of the band who nobody really pays attention to but is incredibly important nonetheless. For this there's no better option than music icon Ben Jammin. Lead guitar is definitely an offensive forward, someone who likes to make a lot of flashy plays. Here I'm slotting in SHL record-holder for goals Ryuuji Minamino. On vocals we could have another offensive forward, but I think a good two way guy is important here. Someone who can steal the show but also someone who can take a backseat and help others shine. For this position one of the first names that came to mine is none other than Jean-Uhtred Soderberg-Tremblay.

23. Say something nice, 2 TPE
The most important quality of a great GM in my mind is definitely the ability to make their players to feel welcome, accepted, and comfortable in their locker room. With this in mind I have been so incredibly lucky to have had the GMs I've had over my two+ years on the site. Starting with @Evok, you put a piece of your heart into QCC when you created it, and are one of the most generous people I've ever met to have invited everyone in with open arms into it, even accepting us into your home. @Faelax, you are quite possibly the chillest human being on the planet, you're the type of friend that everyone should have in their life. The type of person that within moments of meeting you, anyone would consider you to be like a brother. Evok and Flex, I love every moment I get to interact with you two, without both of you I'm not sure how far I would have made it in this league, and I'm not sure how many amazing people I would have missed out on meeting as well. @SDCore, to keep things short and sweet, I have never met anyone quite like you, in the best way possible. You're the perfect combination of witty, sarcastic, and just purely, unapologetically caring. @JNH, it's no wonder that even after your over ten years on the site, I've yet to encounter anyone who's had a negative thing to say about you. You're such an easy to talk to, inviting, and kind person that I just don't think it would be possible. Corey and J, without you two there would be no Chicago. I don't mean that the team would fold or that we would never be competitive, though both are probably true, what I mean to say is you two didn't just create the culture in the locker room, you are the culture, from the moment I got drafted to when you two took over to today and beyond.
