6. How was the season for you player? What you expect from next one?

This season for my player was a testimony for the defensive and offensive side of my player. Last season, Minnesota was in another level, with all positions, special lines all playing in harmony, Kevin Kim finally got the 70 point season he always dreamed of. However, this season, Minnesota lost depth, especially defensive. They are now the usual mid team. In contrast, the big talent rookies are developing, and the star players are starting to climb up to their prime. And this season, Kevin is building his skills even more. Even though this was a down season for Kevin, his defensive and shooting skills shined even in a mediocre team. While his teammates were in the negatives, Kevin was always in the positives. He also upped his offense, with a personal record of 31 goals, he is the next big star for Minnesota. For next season, Kevin is extremely focused on using these new abilities he learned this season and implement it into the next. With the help with Gibbles, Knight, Hoang, and the rest of his team, Kevin will be the nucleus of this team and help win the regular season and playoffs. Even if the team downgraded, if the team has the winning mindset of superstars, anything is possible.

10. Written, 50 to 200+ words. Took Me By Surprise

Pick a one SHL or SMJHL team, that isn’t your own, that did not play as you would have expected at the beginning of the season. Did they do better or worse than you expected? Why you think your expectations were off, can you find an explanation for their performance? Does this change how you view them going into next season?

If one team had exceeded by expectations, every single season including this one is the one and only Atlanta Infernos. Getting 6th place in the regular season after many doubts if they could even make the top 10, they were one place from top 5. Even with their players passing their primes, new stars emerge, with Jiggle E Puff getting 88 points and leading his team in points. Atlanta seems to never stop producing new talents, if their homegrown or even if their traded in, Atlanta always makes it work. Even Shoyo Hinata, a past super star, is still producing a good amount of points. In my opinion, this strategy is genius. Even if their players get old, Atlanta will still survive and make it into the top ten conversation. This is the case even in the playoffs. Where they won in the first round against the previous semi finalist Philadelphia Forge. Eventually this new strategy might slow down, but right now, it is a great step into bouncing back into the cup.
