3. Written, 3 TPE, New Year New Me (150 words min.)

What is your player's New Years resolution? What aspect of their game do they want to work on in S69 to help them reach the finals next season? If they did make the finals this season, is it because of something they resolved to work on last season? If so, then what's next?
As a send down player still, I am continuing to improve my overall game to make sure I can enter the league with the maximum amount of skills to help the Monarchs. One of the Monarchs weakest areas currently is their defense. They averaged almost 4.5 goals a game this previous season and I consider my shutdown abilities to be my greatest strength. I plan on building upon my already strong defensive zone recognition and checking abilities. I have been able to produce 140 takeaways, 166 blocks and 270 hits in my two years in the SMJHL. I am not the only missing piece for the Monarchs to reach the Finals however. I want to begin working with my teammates to build chemistry as we will be a young team moving forward. I would also like to take a leadership role on the team so working with the veterans to see how our youth push can drive us to the next level.

5. Written, 3 TPE, Boat Versus Bull (150 words min)

We aren't talking about some fake hockey league-- I'm asking for real. Who would win in a fight? A small navy of three living war boats with eyes, or a herd of 45 raging bulls (15 per boat). Battlefield is your choice. Create whatever scenario you like to back up your choice of winner. Tell me how it goes and why it goes that way.
If we were to hypothetically consider a scenario in which these two groups were made to engage in a fight, it is likely that the war boats would emerge as the victors. The war boats, as military vessels, are designed for combat and are equipped with a range of weapons and defense systems. In contrast, the bulls, while physically strong, are not trained for combat and would not have the same level of skill and experience in fighting as the war boats. Additionally, the war boats would have the advantage of mobility, as they are able to move through water, while the bulls are limited to land. The war boats could use this mobility to their advantage, attacking the bulls from various angles and using their weapons to keep the bulls at bay. Overall, it is clear that the war boats would have the upper hand in this hypothetical fight due to their training, experience, and mobility.

20. Written, 3 TPE, Championship Creek (150 words min.)

If you were the judge of a creek competition, what would you be looking for? How would you choose the championship creek? Is it based on volume of water moved through the creek? Is pleasantness of sound a factor? The beauty of the creek itself? Biodiversity? How do you weigh each factor in your decision? Tell me how you would define the perfect creek.
 As the judge of a creek competition, I would be looking for several different characteristics that would help me determine which creek is the most deserving of the championship title.The volume of water moving through the creek is an important factor to consider, as it can indicate the creek's overall health and the strength of its ecosystem.  The sound of a creek can be a very important aspect of its overall appeal. A creek with a soothing, gentle flow can be very relaxing and enjoyable to be around, while a creek with a loud, rushing sound may be more unsettling or off-putting. The visual appeal of a creek is also an important factor to consider. A creek with clear, clean water and a beautiful surrounding landscape can be very pleasing to the eye and provide peace and tranquility. The diversity of plant and animal life in a creek can be a good indicator of its overall health and vitality. A creek with a rich and varied ecosystem is likely to be more robust and able to withstand changes or challenges.  When choosing a championship creek, I would weigh each of these factors carefully, considering how they all contribute to its overall quality and character. Ultimately, I would define the perfect creek as one that is healthy, vibrant, and able to support a diverse range of plant and animal life while also being visually appealing and providing a pleasant and calming atmosphere for those who come to enjoy it.
