17. Written, 3 TPE, Neutral Turf (150 words min.)

This is obvious. Think about it, where is there to play where we can always guarantee that there is ice. Where in the world can we play where there is currently no country representing it. Where can we watch hockey and penguins at the same time? WE PLAY THE IIHF TOURNAMENTS TO ANTARCTICA. We will simple be using the ice there, it’s not like we’re going to change a whole lot. The nature of being somewhere new and playing on pure natural Antarctic ice is a real level playing field for all the teams. We think about Hockey being a sport for those in the northern countries, but it would really flip everyone on their head if in fact they got to play in the SOUTH. It could match being done opposite of the regular season because when it’s too hot to play in the north, the endless dark of night will hit antarctica making any time of day a night game and making sure that it’s never going to be too hot to melt the ice. It’s truly a neutral ground, and would make a cool way to see penguins. However Sweden might have an advantage for having an actual Penguin on their team but I’m ok with that no bias.

18. Written, 2 TPE - The Procrastinator Special! (100 words min.)

Honestly I wanted to see MAN win, I was excited about this because I used to be on both teams but I was hoping to see them go all the way this time. I think that Seattle winning is just what the regular season predicted to be honest. With the best goal difference throughout the regular season and finishing 1st in the league it was not surprising to see them win the playoffs when they proved they were the best in the regular season. I was surprised to see MAN there to be honest. They finished 9th overall with only a +48 goal diff and the fact that they managed to make it shows that with proper management, the best coaches can really make a difference when playoffs come around! I Think there’s nothing wron with a repeat series final, the only time we have to worry is if this starts to happen more and more, though the “we” in that isn’t a big matter to me. I don’t really have a problem with any kind of competitive changes but I know some people can be bothered by that.

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

This is pretty simple. A creek is a very superfluous thing to judge, but the perfect creek fits certain criteria. First of all the creek has to babble, like a babbling brook. A light yet cheery symphony of water flowing over rocks and the water returning to the surface. Not loud enough to deafen, but loud enough to drown out the sounds of your mind and bring you closer to tranqullity. A creek can’t flow too fast, it has to flow fast enough to keep the water clean and clear, but not so fast that is disturbes the sand and silt underneath it. It can’t have too many spots of standing water where things can breed, but has to have nice clean angles where water flows and gurrgles clean enough to drink through. The more rocks and sand it filters through the better, the water better be cleaner than my local grocery store. Finally the creek must also have a large diverse group of plants and animals around it. Not so much that they compete but enough that you could imagine this as a snapshot of the earth in a little bottle if you could. All of these are weighed equally in my mind as they are all important.
