6. How was the season for you player? What you expect from next one? (240 words = +4)
This season for Blade Hunter was just okay, to be honest. It wasn’t as great as last season because the numbers just didn’t hit as high. It kinda felt like I took a step back, you know? Like, I was expecting to be more of a standout, but it didn’t really happen that way. Blade’s always been a hard worker, and he was putting in the effort, but sometimes it just doesn’t translate on the stat sheet the way you want it to. It was frustrating at times, not being able to hit the same level, but Blade isn’t one to dwell on it too much. That being said, it’s good to see that he’s still contributing in the playoffs. He’s not exactly leading the charge or anything, but at least he’s doing his part to help the team. There’s something to be said for that, and it keeps Blade motivated. He knows he’s got more to give, and he’s not gonna let a so-so season stop him from pushing for more. Looking ahead to next season, Blade’s expecting to bounce back. He’s learned a lot from this year and knows where he needs to improve. The goal is to get back to where he was before, maybe even push further. He’s got his eyes on becoming a bigger impact player, and with the offseason training coming up, he’s gonna make sure he’s ready to go harder next time around.

7. This time for J: Who you got? Who wins the Four Star Cup? Why? (145 words = +1)
I got the Kelowna Knights for the Four Star Cup win, and it’s not just ‘cause Blade Hunter’s on the team. Honestly, this team is on fire right now, and it’s hard to bet against them. A huge part of it comes down to what Pyro has been doing with tactics. The guy’s got the team playing at a whole other level, and you can see it in how smooth things have been going on the ice. Everything just clicks. Plus, the Knights are flying into the finals with nothing to lose, which makes them dangerous. When you got that mix of solid tactics, skill, and a carefree attitude, it’s hard to stop a team like that. We're in a zone where we've already proven ourselves, so now it’s just about finishing the job. We think we’ve got what it takes to lift that cup.
