2a. I think that having so much representation from only 2 teams is a little detrimental to the overall health of the league since that leaves many teams with no All-Star representatives. I don't think it should be mandated that each team gets a representative, but I think a cap of 3 or 4 players from any single team would allow opportunities for stand out players on lesser teams to at least take some pride in an otherwise down year.

2c. Being still a junior player, I haven't had the pleasure of playing against any of these goalies, so I have to base my judgements on superficial criteria. Based on names alone, I have to go with the duo from the West to have the most fun. Gzregorz and Justin have the funnier names to me so I have to give them the nod here. Particularly Gzregorz who is forever the most Polish name I have ever seen. (77 words, +1 TPE)

4. I think that TPE does not matter as much in SMJHL All Star voting as compared to SHL. The 425 cap in the J insures that there is a pool of similarly progressed players at or near the cap who are doing the majority of point producing for each team. The primary differences in performance, in my opinion, are the quality of team and other players that determine who produces enough to get an Al Star nod. In the SHL, the gaps in TPE are much wider with no set cap and I believe that TPE does matter because the best players are vastly better than the middling players, so the cream of the crop don't have to rely as much on team performance and stellar teammates. Just like anything else, there are exceptions where a player has an unexpected breakout season, or plays a bigger role than their progression would suggest, but it appears to me that the majority of All Stars are top TPE earning players. (168 Words, +3 TPE)
