9. Written, 3 TPE, Players Tribune (150 words min.)
A popular format of media that has made a resurgence recently due to certain dedicated media writers, The Player's Tribune involves writing from your player's point of view in the 1st person. Write your Player's Tribune about your player's season. How do they feel about their results? Did they achieve their goals? Are they venting out frustration? Are there any moments of the season that were memorable?

I wanted to start this reflection on my career in the J with a little platitude, something really cute-like. But *fuck* that oh my god WE WON THE FOUR STAR CUP!!! This excitement isn’t really even for the trophy… ok maybe it’s partially about the trophy. Victory never hurts. But damn, it feels good just seeing everybody else around me happy and celebrating and taking that time to enjoy themselves. You come to the ice every day and you see these people, you come to understand them. The last few seasons… getting so close in the playoffs but always falling short. I could see how it affected everybody inside. These people… they work their asses off week in week out and it just takes its toll. You can see it in their eyes. I remember the tears after the playoff run last year. That’s why I really don’t care that I didn’t have a great season this year. I’m not taking home any individual hardware or anything that fancy. But I’m satisfied. Those smiles on everybody’s faces. It’s all worth it just to see that. Perhaps I can fit a cutesy little “there is no I in team” line at the end here? Heh. No shot.

10. Written, 3 TPE, Most Offensive Goalie (150 words min.)
The league has multiple awards, yet there is always room for improvement. What award would you add? Why that award and who it would be named after? Or which of the current awards would you change? How would you change it and why?

Aside from impossible to track awards like “biggest card gambling addict”, the award I would most want to see added to the selection would be some kind of award for overperformance in the player or team level. In real life, awards like “Coach of the Year” end up being used as a sort of team overperformance award and while I think that that’s a silly way of doing it, some award of that nature would be fun. Teams or players that absolutely nobody had any expectations of competing or putting up serious numbers absolutely locking in for a season. The issue with this kind of award is that it’s probably hard to tell when a team is starting to be good or whether it’s an actual fluke, maybe this could be solved by waiting a couple seasons until the season in question’s place in history is better known? It would be difficult, but I would love to see it.
