For Petr, on a season to season basis, Petr rebounded very well this season, retreating from the violent decay and deprecation of age and regression. From 31 points to 47 is a growth I certainly did not expect to occur going from 1200 to 1100 TPE, but one that I am thankful for. In the scope of Petr's career, however, it was a tremendous season for Petr: as he approaches 1000 games played, Petr crossed the 1000 points threshold. After 200 career playoff games, Petr has accumulated 200 playoff points, earning him top 10 spots in playoff goals and points. While a career goal of mine was to reach 500 goals, being 92 away at this point means it would likely take 5 more seasons, which seems out of reach. That being said, I sure hope I can replicated this season's rebirth of Petr with more uncharacteristically good performance at modest TPE levels in his twilight years as I pad my career statistics in my wait to either win gold or until I no longer make the Czech National Team. I am excited where my journey ends as I near the end of my SHL career, including 10 long years as part of the community.

Team Russia got replaced by Quebec, which for sure got people talking about the IIHF. What other nations/regions would you like to see get their own team? Would you think they should replace current teams and if so which ones would you seek to replace? And most importantly, why you think that teams you picked would be more interesting or improve the IIHF in general?

Man, I have been in the IIHF Head Office for each international expansion and team change process, even a couple rebrands, and it's always the coolest thing to see people's passion and interest behind whatever it is. It really is no different to SMJHL or SHL expansion as a chance to display one's creativity. Italy has been an historical IIHF team with occasional presence among players throughout the years, but the opportunity for other more expressive/inclusive identities such as a Pan-African team is really cool in my opinion.
