3. Secret Plans
It’s never too early to start thinking about how you’re going to gain a competitive edge next season! How is your team going to go the extra mile to get wins next season? Is it a secret training regimen? Sneaky equipment modifications? Booby trapping the visiting teams’ locker room? Anything goes.

The brainstorming in Anchorage is very open our goal is to get stronger with the development of the players. We also need still more prospects to give our line up more quality. We already entered the pre Team Training Camp and wait until next weekend the start of the SMJHL Draft to see which players will enter the Team Training Camp. If they are here we will start the full program of Team Training Camp and then we need to have 100% focus on our play with and without the puck. Then we will see how good we can be this season. Also later with some pre season games, those will also help us in our development and knowing how far we are. The main goal is to have a better Regular Season than last one. We know that we still have more SMJHL Teams in their prime so we also need time after this prime is over and our can rise and give us a top spot. We will see if this will happen in the upcoming season or in two, three seasons. (184 words)



11. A 6 Star Show
Make a dream team of players from any team in the playoffs, with 3 forwards, 2 defenseman and a goalie, and give an explanation for each pick. It could be the best team ever, or alternative maybe the worst?

So we receive the question of think about our dream team of the playoff performances. At first I would go with a Sniper and in that case I would take NoNo Jo. With his 18 Goals but also 10 Assists he was one of the key factors that the Vancouver Whalers won the Cup. Next to him as Sniper we also need of course a Playmaker. Here it wasnt so easy. Olafur Atlason and Robo Sven both had 20 Assists but I will go here with Robo Sven because he had 5 Goals and Olafur Atlason had 4 Goals. So we also need a third forward and with one Sniper and one Playmaker I would like to have here a two way monster. So I will take Nicals Wastlund. 13 Goals, 14 Assists and 61 Hits makes him a perfect fit for this line and we have with him three Vancouver Whalers players in the offense. The first Defender of my choice will be Jacob Maccabees from the Ottawa Highlanders. With his 4 Goals and 14 Assists he was very impressive offensively but also defensively he was very impressive with 38 Blocks, 24 Hits and 20 Takeaways. Next to him I am looking for a classic defensive Defender. I decided to go with Clarence Worley also from the Ottawa Highlanders. He had 10 Points, 11 Takeaways, 27 Hits and 57 Blocks. This duo would be nuts. In the net I also will choose a player from the Ottawa Highlanders. Bishop Van Apeldoorn had a monster performance in the playoffs. Only he had 2 shutout but he also had 703 saves the 2nd best was Woggins with 491 saves. He is from the Whalers so the both Cup Finalists Teams. Van Apeldoorn his Goals Saved Above Average was amazing. 10.93 is the number to be called here. Wiggins only had 2.32 and that makes me say it was a monster performance. Van Apeldoorn also had the fourth best save percentage with 91.4%. He won 14 of his 21 Games in the playoffs and with that game number he also had the most from all in comparison. All in all we have three Ottawa Highlanders and three Vancouver Whalers players in my dream team of the S77 Playoffs. (379 words)



14. R&R
It's almost officially the offseason. Whether you just won the cup or didn't even make it past the first round of the playoffs, it's time to take a break and look toward the SHL draft. Tell us how you're spending your time this offseason, whether it be with family or friends.

I will go home to Germany to my grandparents. It is always nice to be at home by my grandparents in Leipzig and also seeing some friends I don’t see very often. After this first month I always go on vacation and want to see the world so I travel around the world. So I can see so much I can from the world. Two weeks in Egypt and two weeks in Mexico were the destinations this year. Then I was moving back to North America to my parents and also to my brother Chris McZehrl Jr.. We were talking about the first SMJHL Season and also about my time in Germany and on my two travels to Mexico and Egypt. Later I had a phone call from my SMJHL GM about the new season and that I can prepare myself for the Draft and new season in their training hall. (151 words)



15. Charity Drive
Professional hockey players are among the luckiest members of a community, but not everyone is given the same opportunities. As such, many players are expected to give back to the community by volunteering their time and energy off the ice with various charitable organizations. Write about a charity or event that your player helped out with

I am very proud to have a nice life as a hockey player and also being in a hockey family, but I am also here to help others. My Father started a charity program and my uncle, brother and myself also work in this charity program. We help kids with many different Illnesses. In our opinion it's important to help any kid with any illnesses in the world. So we bring them gifts or some are also fans and so overjoyed to see us, talk with us and take a photo and finally get signs from us. We love to give them something special. But we also help the humans around our roots in germany. We built a training camp for young kids there to develop better. The structure in Germany is still way behind the North American one for hockey so we hope with this help we will see more good hockey players from that area. We also plan to open a second training camp. The first is in Leipzig and the second is planned for Magdeburg. In the summer if we are there we train the kids and try to give them our vision and know how about hockey to get better for their future. We also talk so much with the women in Germany about hockey and train them that they can be better. Our goal is to help all in that area have our roots. We hope we can bring in more ideas and more help for kids and all other humans. (256 words)



17. Feedback
For recreates, how was doing this new version of CW compared to the old one? Was the experience better, or worse? How were the PT changes? For first gens, you can also talk about your experiences with PTs in general too this season!

Chris McZehrl III is my 5th player in the SHL and I must say I like the topics in this season CW. But I also must honestly say that I believe I made my last full CW 5 real time years ago. So at this time it was totally different. But please keep up your work and this vision. I really really love this new style of PTs. I also will do more in the future for sure. (78 words)
