Code:
1. Milestones, up to 3 TPE.

Milestones are folded in with All-Star Week.

Link your Milestone claim as task 1 for up to 3 TPE towards your 8 total.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Post your claim in the milestones thread for tpe earned per stat, and then link that post in your ASW submission. This is done because the person who grades ASW will be a different person than double-checks milestones.

8. Written, 50 to 200+ words. The Teammate One

Tell me about your teammate who made the all star game! Who are they, why were they an obvious choice to make the All Star roster, and what do you expect from them this ASG? (If more than one of your teammates made the game, pick one of those players other than yourself. If you are the only player on your team selected for the all star game so far, write about your team's candidate for last man instead.)

This year just two players from the Atlanta Inferno made the East All Stars roster; Billy Herrington and Jiggle E Puff. Herrington wrapped up Season 79 with 94 points, a 34 +/-, 105 hits, 62 takeaways and other nifty stats. Jiggle E Puff finished in the top 10 of the league for points, putting up 34 goals and 64 assists, all while making his presence well known through a whopping 142 hits. I expect I probably won't pay attention to the All Star Game Outcome again so I can't say for sure how it will all play out, but I'm sure all those involved will have fun and that Herrington and Puff will represent the fire birbs well out on the ice for the East.

11. Written, 50 to 200+ words. Thinking Out Of The Box

All-Star games are usually hosted by SHL or SMJHL team but what if it wasn’t so? If you would like to grow the game on new market having an exhibition game with all the best players in the leagues could be good kickstart, or maybe it could revitalize an old market that might have had their team moved in the past? If you were to hold games outside of current teams, where you would take the games and why?

Whenever I get these questions my first impulse is to bring more games to Canada, mostly for selfish reasons because I usually want to go because events like this are fun to go to in person. But we should probably share our hockey joy with the rest of the world and make this thing a truly international affair. Even one game abroad can spark some interest and bring a new perspective to the game that maybe we hadn't thought would be cool before. I'm generally more prone to picking places that naturally have ice and snow because it feels weird having hockey in hot places (looking at you Florida) and I just have to imagine it just makes more sense even from an economic/profitable perspective, but maybe we try somewhere new just for funsies. The world is a big place and the possibilities are truly endless. We could engage the typical hockey Euro nations, maybe throw a game or two Japan or Taiwan's way, I don't know. Somewhere far away where we can blow some minds with top talent.
