4. Written, 3 TPE, Dream Series (150 words min.)
Many teams have rivals they'd love to trounce in a playoff series. Maybe you as a player have another specific player you'd love to beat to win the cup and lord it over them for the rest of their lives. Tell me who you'd love to play in a playoff series and why! Why would you love to beat this team or player? What would it mean to you or your team? Keep it friendly.


I would love to play against the Los Angeles Panthers in a playoff series. Piastri is still playing in Nevada and will be spending next season there as well, but when the time comes to lace up the skates at the SHL level there is no team I would rather beat than the Panthers. I spent a lot of time with the Panthers organization and would have loved to go back to Los Angeles during my draft year. The Panthers had an opportunity to draft me but instead they decided to trade the 16th selection for future picks and passed on the opportunity to add me to the team. I'm happy that I've ended up with the Monarchs. We've been adding a number of excellent players in recent seasons and the time is fast approaching that we see all this talent gather in Minnesota and start to make their marks in the SHL. Piastri has proven to be a dangerous offensive player, setting SMJHL records for goals and points in a single season and having a very good chance at setting the all-tine records for both statistics next season. I can't wait to light the lamp in the playoffs against Los Angeles and point to the GM's press box every time it happens.

17. Written, 3 TPE, Neutral Turf (150 words min.)
We simply cannot play in a host country any more, it's too big of an advantage for the home team. You're going to have to find the ideal location to host these international tournaments, and it cannot be in any existing country! Where do you take this season's IIHF tournaments to ensure neutral territory? Bonus points for any fun and exciting extra effects this location might have on the game of hockey.


I'm very selfishly going to decide that the IIHF tournaments will now be held in Australia. The main reason is that my player Alexi Piastri hails from down under. Piastri is part of a growing contingent of SHL players who are from Australia. This shows that hockey is growing as a sport in new places and what better way to promote the continued popularity of the sport in Australia than to bring the renowned world tournament to the country? OK, in reality I just want to hear the fans go crazy every time that Piastri lights the lamp for Japan. Who knows, maybe with the added attention to hockey in the country, Australia can secure a future IIHF bid. Piastri would undoubtedly return to play for his home country if they were given an opportunity to compete internationally. I'm sure that the players and the fans would love the opportunity to take an annual trip to the beaches and the outback of Australia. There's just so many good reasons to make this happen, I wouldn't be surprised if the league has announced the change before the end of Championship Week.

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 results? How do you feel about a repeat finals series?


You have to hand it to the Seattle Argonauts, they've been dominant as of late and have now won back to back Championships. Overall this isn't very surprising. Seattle has played complete hockey and finished the regular season with over 50 wins. The Manhattan Rage have not found a way to solve the puzzle, despite playing excellent hockey and not making things easy for the Argonauts. Seattle has proven to be too much for any SHL franchise to handle and has now established themselves as the SHL's clear measuring stick team. Seattle has an incredibly balanced attack but Max Manning's play certainly stands out this season. The forward had an unreal offensive season and helped lead the was to Seattle's second consecutive championship. Can Seattle get the three-peat next season? I'm not sure if that's ever happened in the SHL before.
