1. Milestones, up to 3 TPE.

Milestones are folded in with All-Star Week.

Link your Milestone claim as task 1 for up to 3 TPE towards your 8 total.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Post your claim in the milestones thread for tpe earned per stat, and then link that post in your ASW submission. This is done because the person who grades ASW will be a different person than double-checks milestones.

3. Written, 3 TPE, The Teammate One (150 words min.)

Tell me about your teammate who made the all star game! Who are they, why were they an obvious choice to make the All Star roster, and what do you expect from them this ASG? (If more than one of your teammates made the game, pick one of those players other than yourself. If you are the only player on your team selected for the all star game so far, write about your team's candidate for last man in instead.)

Shadow Fenix and Jussi Mutou are both two forwards for the Colorado Raptors that definitely deserved their spot on the All Star team. Without the both of them the Raptors would have never had a chance of completing their cup run or their fantastic season. It is without a doubt that they are two of the best players in the SMJHL at the moment. I expect an outstanding performance from both of them when they step on to the ice for the all start game. They dominated the league for a full season, what would make me possibly believe that the two of them couldn't do it again in the all star game. I believe that because Shadow and Jussi both were willing their team to a cup, it propelled both their skills forward this year. Both players were in the top 10 for points this season and should be expected to fill the net again and again

4. Written, 2 TPE, Participation Trophy (100 words min.)

Currently every team gets to send at least one player to the All-Star game. Are this seasons selections good in terms of team variety? Would you prefer more even selection from all of the teams or more focus to be put on individual performances despite the teams they represent? Do you think it is important for each team to get representation?

While I have always been a strong advocate for fairness in sports to develop players engagement with the game, an all star game has no place for fairness. While every player works hard to get where they are, the all star game is to celebrate the best in the league. While allowing each team to provide one player is in a sense fair, it does not end up showcasing the most skilled players in the league. I believe that the all star game should be free of participation awards and only the best deserve to be there. If you wish for your player to make an appearance, then you should properly train them to become worthy of that title of All Star.
