6. Written, 2 TPE, Haiku Highlights  (5 words min.)

Rather than giving you a task where you do something boring like "write about your season" using things like "sentences and punctuation" I figured I could instead ask you to write a haiku about how your season went! A haiku is a three line poem where the first line is five syllables, the second is seven, and the third line is five again.

13. Graphic, 1 TPE, Memeing Like It's 2008

Make a mid-2000's style advice animal meme that describes your teams' season results. I really can't get any more specific than that. This one's pretty loose. Also don't try to sneak in some new meme format. I'll know.

22. Written, 2 TPE, Hope and Hapiness (100 words min.)

I've asked this before, but since it may be my final time writing CW, I wanted to ask it again. It was one of my favourite questions to read responses to. Tell me something that happened recently that you enjoyed, something that brings you happiness, or something you have hope for in the future. It could be a huge thing like buying a house or a small thing like having fun with your lockerroom this season. I just want to give you a chance to write down something positive.

I went to a wedding last weekend which was pretty fun. Got to see a bunch of family I haven't seen in at least a year which was great. Mostly just got to hang out and play beer pong at the reception with my cousin. Overall a very fun time. I'm doing pretty good in my classes this semester too, much better than last sem which feels really good. All in all life isn't too bad right now, nothing major that's really bad happening or coming in the next while, so I just get to chill and hang out with everyone in the Atlanta LR.

3. Written, 3 TPE, Chemistry Lesson (150 words min.)

Tell me about who your linemates were this year, and how the season went playing together. Why do you work well together? Why don't you work well together? If there was anyone on your team you don't play with but you'd like to, who is it? Why? If you're a goalie, tell me about your bond with your goaltending partner!

My (Pablo Salvatici) linemates this year on the Atlanta Inferno hockey club's second line were the wonderfully talented and handsome Jay Cue and Salzberger Lillehammerson. As Pablo is heading deeper and deeper into regression my point total is starting to taper off, so I had to change my expectations this season to a more supporting role and get carried. Cue and Lillehammerson were one and two on our team in scoring so I did pick up a solid amount of points, but nowhere near the amount from the last couple seasons. That said I'd say our chemistry was great and we worked well together since they dominated the opposing teams and scored at will it seemed, getting me a respectable amount of points along the way. That said, I'd have loved to play with Pavel Jeziak one last time as he is retiring now and I won't have the chance to do so anymore. (154 words)

2. Written, up to 4 TPE - Grab Bag: Pick up to 4 Challenge Cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words.

A. In my opinion I'd have to pick the Philadelphia Forge's buildup as the more impressive. In a teardown rebuild like Winnipeg you've got existing pieces as assets to move and bring in picks and prospects. The Forge had to totally build from the ground up, getting what were likely less valuable pieces in the expansion draft to use and move. (60 words)

C. I think BASE PACK is just too good right now. A hot goalie can carry a team on its back, and I'd have to say that Winnipeg just won't solve him. He's been a brick wall these playoffs and no matter how prolific a team like Winnipeg is at scoring, I just don't see how BACK PACK doesn't stand on his head to win it all. (66 words)
