Help I got lost in Chicago! Yeah that's me. You might be wondering how I got into this situation. Well let's just say it's a crazy story. It's game number 15 of the Winnipeg Aurora's SHL season, and we're in Chicago to take on the Syndicate. We fly into O'Hare and are about to get on the team bus when Coach announces that the busses are broken down. Oh no! That's okay, we're going to go into the heart of town using public transportation. Now I am no stranger to trains. They go choo choo. We get to the blue line and everyone is boarding, but the train is full by the time I get to the doors! As the doors close and the train pulls away, I am the only one on the team left on the platform! I get a text that says "call an Uber." But I think to myself no, I'll just take the next train! So I get on the next train. I ask a nice person where the hockey stadium is. But they say they're a tourist from Buffalo and they don't know where it is! So I look at the map. The loop. Sounds like a hopping place! I'll go there. So I get off in the loop. Wow, look at that big river! Look at that cool fountain! Look at that big bean! But there's no hockey stadium to be found! Help! I'm lost in Chicago and I have a game to play! TO BE CONTINUED

I think there should be an award for the least sportsman like player called the Dirty D! Yes that's right, we are going to choose the dirtiest player in the whole league! The kind of player you love having on your team, but everyone else hates them. And it's going to be voted on by the players! Who is the player who is constantly slew footing you in front of the net? Who likes to hold onto your stick a little too much? Who is baiting you into dropping the gloves for some fisty Cuffs and then kicking your butt? Who never showers? Who is covered in grime and gunk? All of these considerations go into the Dirty D award for the dirtiest player in the whole entire league. Boy oh boy I can't wait to vote! I really think that this award is very important to determine who is the best of the best in this category.

I really like the changes this season to the format for picking the all star teams. I am sure I am not the only one who has wondered in the past how these teams are really chosen. You know, like whether there was truly ever a method to the madness, an orchestration to the chaos of making such an important selection. But now we've shined some sunlight onto the process and everything is out in the open. I love transparency! But I think that the league should vote on who the captains of the all star game should be. The ones who draft. I think that would be a huge honor for folks to be selected by a group of their peers. And it is another opportunity to give me an easy way to get 1 TPE. I love getting one TPE at a time. I hate writing this much!
