What's your prediction for this season's IIHF tournament? Which teams do you expect to do well (or not well)? Which players?

I am going to do this 1 since we are only a little bit into the tournament. So far upsets have happened and the usual suspects of Canada and Great Britain are not dominating the groups this season. Shout out to the United States not currently making it out of the group stage. I still however believe by the end of it Canada and Great Britain will be winning a medal by the end of it. They both have the Total Points Earned to make this work and it is hard to bet against that since FHM loves to have them never be upset except in rare occasions. A big reason why these 2 teams usually do get to medals like.

I would like to see the other medal go to a nation that has not won 1 in quite a long piece of time. No, not the United States, they got 1 a while back too like a bronze or something so meh. Perhaps Finland can get 1 and use the group momentum they have going right now to win 2 knockout round games. We will have to see.

a. The salt special: Do these teams deserve to be here? Or were they gifted a trip to the finals through puck luck and bullshittery?

b. Buffalo has been here many times in the past 20 seasons, this is only the second (I think I'm too lazy to check) time for Chicago. Which is more impressive? The continued dominance of Buffalo? Or the solid couple of runs Chicago has made despite the team only being 15 seasons old?

c. Everyone's a critic: Nitpick one thing about either team's logo, jersey, rink design, goal horn, or general site demeanor.

d. Who is the best player to play for either team? Is it a current player? Retired? Traded? Make your case.

A - I am a little confused by this 1 honestly. I think these 2 respective teams made the finals because they beat 3 other teams on whichever side of the bracket they were on. I do not think they were gifted it but they win cause its hard for other teams to fight back and become close to as strong as the top teams. [63 words]
B - I would say Chicago honestly. I do not know why but parity is very hard for this league and the bad teams are just usually bad and the elite teams can do it for so long and FHM hates letting the better teams lose unlike in OOTP where it is a lot more possible. So to me Chicago being there a couple of teams is way more impressive. [68 words]
C - I actually really like both these teams branding so I can't really attack that. If I am nit picking it would probably have to be goal horn more than anything. I think these lack in terms of amazing goal horn but I will have to admit I have not watched either play in season so maybe they did change it to something better. [63 words]
D - I would say Elizabeth Doyle is the Buffalo Stampede's best player. She is 1 of the better if not the best goalie in the Sim Hockey League and having her is a good reason why they do very well overall in the league. It probably helps having a good d around her like but that just helps cause I think she is genuinely 1 of the better in her positions. [70 words]

1) S60 was a long and difficult season for the Nevada Battleborn, but morale was high the whole time. There were lots of positive things to focus on in Nevada during S60, despite the losses piling up, and one such thing was a tremendous season from Jimmy Larkin-Conway. Jimmy finished tied for 4th in the SMJHL for goals scored with 30, which included an SMJHL record 6 shorthanded goals. His 30 goals, and 52 points, are also both franchise records for the Battleborn, surpassing the previous records of 25 goals and 49 points, both by Zelma Zuntnere. Expectations will be even higher for Jimmy next season, but with such a young group of players expected to breakout, and nowhere to go but up in the standings for the team, the young Battleborn sniper should see his production jump. It sounds like Nevada can also expect to see Jimmy back for two more seasons, which means the team will have two cracks at the Four Star Cup with their current core. That’s all music to Jimmy’s ears. [+3]

5) I remember specifically opposing the idea of every team making the playoffs in the SMJHL when I was a GM in that league, but my feelings on the matter changed pretty quickly. The league’s role in providing a positive experience for the new and developing players is paramount to the SHL’s overall success. More time spent waiting for the offseason is more time to potentially lose interest. Unfortunately there’s no way to avoid most people having to wait at least a little while, but qualifying every team for the playoffs eliminates as much downtime as possible. On top of that, I think the playoffs is an important part of the hockey experience here, and giving every player a taste of that right away is a good way to get them hooked. [+2]

12) A - There’s absolutely no question that these two teams deserve to be in the Challenge Cup Final. Buffalo and Chicago are two of the most stacked teams in the SHL, so you would have to be a certifiable moron to suggest either team is undeserving of their spot. The match up is sure to be a treat for the fans.
B - Buffalo has been a perennial contender for so long now, it’s hard to remember a time before that. Chicago on the other hand has built a juggernaut themselves, and seem to be contending regularly as well. The impressive thing with Buffalo is that they’ve managed to swap parts in and out as needed without ever needing to pull the plug and reset. In the future we may look back on Chicago as being similarly dominant, but they’ve got some catching up to do with Buffalo.
C - It’s time to freshen up the logo in Buffalo. I’m not saying you need to revamp the branding, but it is the 2nd oldest logo (Toronto 1st I believe), and could use a little sprucing up. As far as Chicago’s logo, I was never a big fan of it, but I feel the team name is a difficult one to capture in a logo. The colour scheme of Chicago is great though, I love it.
D - I’m going to give my vote to retired Chicago Syndicate legend Charlie Schieck! If you don’t know, Charlie played one entire season with Chicago in S56, before retiring one season too soon to win the Challenge Cup with the Syndicate in S57. Despite that, he was very clearly the best player to play for either of these teams. [+4]

13) I’ve got to go with Aron Hernadivic, because this man was dominating the playoffs for Buffalo. Not only did he put up 13 goals and 14 assists, but he also led the team in takeaways, had among the most blocks as a forward, led forwards in average ice time, and posted an average offensive game rating of 77. The guy was absolutely on another level during the S60 playoffs, and put the entire league on notice for next season’s playoffs. You could make a strong case for several Stampede players to take home the MVP title, but seeing as we have to choose just one, Hernadivic stands just above the rest for this honour. [+2]

Pokemon! Everyone loves em, and if you don't, you didn't have a childhood. Or adulthood. Anyways, let's imagine all SHL and SMJHL players are now pokemon. Assemble your team! On top of that, what is your strategy to navigate the POKESHL? Try to get the strongest pokemon and become champion? Catch all of the possible players and complete your pokedex? UwU Breed them? Catch low level juniors players and train them? Or become a gym leader, helping others on their path to greatness? I'd love to hear your approach.

My PokéSHL team would have to be balanced so to begin we need a Fire type pokeSHLer. For this we pick up Valentin Kalashnikov (Suavemente) who spits fire and deals psychic damage. We then bring in Lord Raiden for that electrical and physical damage cause that’s what Raiden does in Mortal Kombat. Luca Del Vecchio is our Ice type, staying cool within the pipes game after game. Karl Krashwagen would be my choice for flying (cause he’s flying out there on the ice) and fighting (that man gives a beating to the opposition every game). Ethan Duncan can be my fairy/psychic guy, being the magical tactician that he is both on and off the ice. My last PokéSHLer will be Nat Emerson who is basically the Dragon type, being there since forever and a half ago in SHL years and being from a land far away.
Overall, this is a balanced team full of different types that have all levelled up together. They are ready to challenge the elite 4. (170 words)

What's your prediction for this season's IIHF tournament? Which teams do you expect to do well (or not well)? Which players?

Based on the standings after Day 3, it looks like we’re in for a good shakeup in the IIHF this season. My predictions will be that Japan, Finland and Norway are the favourites to win it all. These teams have the right amount of youth and experience, with high TPE totals. Right behind them are a big group of teams that need to fix something in order to climb up the order. These include Great Britain, Sweden, Austria, Czechia and Canada, essentially all the teams that are either on their way up or ageing out of contention. The fall of the US will continue because they don’t seem to have figured out how FHM works. The biggest surprise will be the US not making it to the knockout rounds for a second consecutive year. For a nation boasting the largest contingent of creates, this is a disappointing performance they’re putting on the ice. (153 words)

d. Who is the best player to play for either team? Is it a current player? Retired? Traded? Make your case.

a) As much as seeing the former great lakes team be in the final year after year, Chicago and Buffalo both won their respective conferences in the regular season as well as the playoffs. They have every right to be in the finals with performances like these. The salt comes from being bored of seeing the same 3 teams make it far each season. (63 words)

b) Both teams being continually at the top is what is impressive, but mostly because both teams were on the rise at the start of the FHM era which has made the strong teams even stronger. I for one am looking forward to teams other than these three at the top for a change. (53 words)

c) I just cannot bring myself to like the Syndicate’s logo. The name is whatever, an homage to the mafia days in Chicago. But the logo is so bland, has nothing to do with hockey and looks like a teenage kid’s attempt at a logo. The diamond in the back might as well be for a baseball team. 57 words)

d) Alexis Metzler is without a doubt the best player to play for either team. As a defenseman, he put up star forward numbers throughout his career, won some awards and made it into the Hall of Fame without being a doubt. Back in the S30s and part of the S40s, Buffalo was not as strong of a team so him being able to do it there was extremely impressive. (69 words)

So this was a tough season for everyone in the SHL. Dealing with trolls online, horrible PR from product endorsements, and on top of that all some minor identity fraud to add to the pile. Are these the worst things to happen to your player this season, or did something unimaginably horrible happen? On the flip side, were there any bright spots hidden in the countless nuisances and problems? What good things on and off the ice happened this season for you?

There were a lot of really difficult things to deal with all season. However, despite all of the challenges with a botched deodorant deal and having to come up with a way to steal some money from an overtly rich bank snob, it was a really good season to be a Berserker. So, despite all of the constant challenges with the weekly inconveniences set by the training team, Newfoundland had the best season of all time for a team in juniors. And getting to be a part of that run, culminating in a championship was a really great experience for what I expect to be my last season in juniors with this player. As a result, all of the nuisances and problems thrown in front of us all season long, it was certainly a season to remember in the SMJHL for all of us that are part of the Berserkers. Troll me online, steal my identity and give me shoddy endorsements every year if this what’s going to happen every season.

We're at a point in the SHL where a good chunk of the playerbase played back in the STHS era, and a good chunk has known nothing but FHM. If you're in the latter part of the league you must have heard the horror stories... so: Let's make a hypothetical.

Players who played in both eras: What would have happened if we just had one sim engine? Posture how your career would have gone if we stayed in STHS (sans exploits). Or what if you had created in FHM the whole time? Would things have gone better or worse?

For you FHM babies: What if we were still in Simon T land? Would your career be where it is now? Or would randomness have stunted the dynasties you may or may not have been part of?

If we had continued down the road of just having STHS, the league would not be as successful as it is today. However, the stats tracking and ability to follow players throughout their careers wasn’t quite as easy as it is today. Staying in STHS would have been a detriment to the overall growth of the league. However, in a world where the SHL hadn’t changed to the FHM sim engine, lots of players would be moving to the SHL much quicker. In my opinion, the change in the update scale and the move to FHM has significantly altered the state of juniors and how players move from one league to another. In the event that we had not moved to FHM, I would have already been on the Chicago roster and on my way to my first SHL cup finals with Kickz Jr. Unfortunately and fortunately, that isn’t the case and instead I got my first Four Star Cup with Newfoundland. Thanks FHM.

d. Who is the best player to play for either team? Is it a current player? Retired? Traded? Make your case.

a. Yes, these are, in recent history, two of the most talented rosters in the SHL. And while Buffalo has consistently been to the finals over the past few seasons, Chicago has had a few deep playoff runs and a cup on their resume. The biggest surprise is that these teams have both been beaten up by some of the other goliaths in the SHL for the last 10+ seasons and yet still are here in the finals
b. The continued dominance of Buffalo is the more impressive of the two teams recent runs. Despite how impressive it is that Chicago, in its infancy as a franchise, has built a strong franchise capable of multiple cup runs, the number of times that Buffalo has found itself in the finals time and time again. That kind of record just doesn’t happen by accident.
c. Buffalo has probably the coolest logo and colorway in the league, but actual team name leaves something to be desired. The Stampede, what is that? A gang of buffalo. Like be a little bit more creative. It’s a group of animals. That’s not a mascot. Your mascot should be a single animal.
d. The best player on either team is Doyle. She has been a mainstay between the pipes in the SMJHL and SHL for the last 10 seasons. Incredible consistency in goaltending is how Buffalo has been successful in getting to the finals season after season. Doyle is consistently a top of the chart goaltender and has proven that in the last 10 seasons.

Time to assemble my Meta Pokeshl team from the top of my head, which will be comprised of all the best suited pokemon to roles on the ice, balancing types as well as I can while also imagining them in hockey roles.

C: Toxapex: This pokemon is a stud defensive wall type of pokemon that can physically dominate other ones and wall out others to winning. This is suited to being a shutdown center type. I would compare them to Seattle's JURT.

Ws: Tapu Koko and Kartana: These pokemon are very fast and pack a hard punch, so they can be very effective sniper types on the wings who can contend for league lead in goals. They're like idk Theo Morgan and Karl Krashwagen?

Ds: Landorus-T and Blissey: More shutdown types who will bring some offensive flair to the table too let's say they could be kind of like Lyle Odelein III and Nicholas Owens.

G: Ferrothorn: Stops fucking everything this dude is a brick wall like whoever was just the best goalie?

I think my career would have gone better to this point if we stayed on STHS? it's hard to say, I've done solid on FHM but STHS I was on a Hamilton team trending way upwards and doing very well, but that continued into FHM as well where Hamilton was similarly very dominant, but I'd say generally my numbers were better on FHM. As for my time in Seattle, I think in FHM I probably would have been better in general because STHS had a wider spread of scoring among people from different levels of team qualities. If I was on FHM for my time in Anchorage, I think it would have gone much better and I think we definitely could have won a challenge cup. Assclap was very engaged and built great teams that STHS didn't reward him for so I think on an engine that did reward it things would go a lot more as we all expected.

B. Definitely Buffalo. These guys know how to run a team for sure. Great GMs great team only a bad coach in jeffie43. Chicago has done well to reach this level but the path of buffalo to being this good is a way better achievement to be proud of. They have made many good trades and drafted many good players with their picks.

1. To quote an icon to public safety and law enforcement "Identity theft is not a joke! Millions of families suffer from it every year" the attempts on my life and identity have left me a near shell of my former self. I have had my name besmirched in Charlotte, I have had my name besmirched in London, I have had my name besmirched all over the world! To say it has been stressful is an understatement. On the bright side, I have found refuge in Seattle. The Emerald City has been a refuge in cool people, and nice weather. And I think that I had my best season to date, and it was lovely to get the Kraken past the first round for the first time since I joined the team. Whilst this year has not been ideal, it does still fill me with great optimism to see where I go from here on out. (155 Words - 3 TPE)

5. I think that when it comes to the SMJHL, it's a fun league for development, I think the more teams in it the better. In my perfect world, all fourteen teams would make it with the top two teams in the league would get a first round bye, just like the incredibly popular format currently used by the NFL. Plus, I think it would just be fun to welcome Regina and Great Falls to the league by giving their players a definite chance of making the playoffs. And who knows, maybe they'll even shock all of us; I think that would be fun to see. And I think having everyone experience the playoffs would keep our minor leagues as an incredibly fun experience for everyone. (125 Words - 2 TPE)

Norway will take a clouting and we will forever remind them of 1066. Germany and Austria will probably be reminded of World War One a lot, y'know, if we're going on with that historical theme. Sweden and Britain didn't really interact much until the eighteenth century and I'm more of a medievalist but we're still going to bloody kill em! I'm going to respectfully hold any comments about Ireland, cause that just wouldn't be in good taste.

Might share a sensual noodle or too. And then I think we'll edge a bit closer to each other and I'll whisper those magical words he's been dying to hear.

Are these the worst things to happen to your player this season, or did something unimaginably horrible happen? On the flip side, were there any bright spots hidden in the countless nuisances and problems? What good things on and off the ice happened this season for you?

Paul Binder had his wallet stolen, was forced into a heist he wanted no part of, made more shitty jokes about how Marbles sucks than he cares for, and lost in the SMJHL finals for the 3rd season in a row. However, it wasn't all bad, bittersweet in fact. Paul Binder was not exactly sure what he was getting into when he was drafted into the SMJHL four seasons ago (almost a full year now!), but he has loved every minute of it. There's been ups and downs, missed TPs, CWs, and claims, but he's been surrounded by a locker room full of great guys who want nothing but the best for each other. While it was another same old season of getting so close, but coming up just short, he knew it was the last time he would be experiencing this in the ANC locker room. He cannot wait to see what next season brings him in the big times in Atlanta. (163 words) +3 TPE

Pokemon! Everyone loves em, and if you don't, you didn't have a childhood. Or adulthood. Anyways, let's imagine all SHL and SMJHL players are now pokemon. Assemble your team! On top of that, what is your strategy to navigate the POKESHL? Try to get the strongest pokemon and become champion? Catch all of the possible players and complete your pokedex? UwU Breed them? Catch low level juniors players and train them? Or become a gym leader, helping others on their path to greatness? I'd love to hear your approach.

You can't go wrong selecting Mew Two first and foremost. Easily one of the strongest (if not THE strongest) pokemon of first gen, and he is one of the most well-known pokemon in the entire dex. I could probably skirt by just selecting this guy and with enough grinding, make it out just fine. However, I'd also like to throw in Eko Van Otter as Floatzel. He's not super strong or anything super special, but he's an otter and that's cool. I've always had a thing for otters so an otter pokemon is just a natural pick for me. Monkey D Luffy as Rillaboom would be a good way to round out the team. The fact that he's a 3rd and final evo from a starter, plus he has a kickass drumset means that he's just waiting to kick ass. We have water, grass, and psychic legendary. Yeah it's only three opposed to the standard 6 team, but most gym leaders don't have a full team of 6 anyway. (169 words) +3 TPE

6. Written, 3 TPE (150 words min.)What's your prediction for this season's IIHF tournament? Which teams do you expect to do well (or not well)? Which players?

I'm really excited to see the IIHF this season. Austria historically the past god knows how many seasons have been absolutely trash, but they've got a ton of reinforcements coming from the championship DACH team this year. A total of EIGHT Austrian players that were locked at 425 TPE last season were able to finally unload all that banked TPE to get them anywhere from 700's to 800's. Yeah, it's nothing all-star level and I'm not expecting them to win gold or anything, but it should definitely make games much more interesting to watch. While it's hard to say this will be the case, I would love to see the team make a strong run for the bronze and potentially further in the coming seasons.
As far as who will win? It's hard to bet against Norway at this point. I don't recall how well they've done in previous seasons, but so far in the games played this season they have been a force to reckon with, going 5-1 so far to lead the league. (175 words) +3 TPE
