If Cake doesn't win RotY, we riot.
After an absolutely insane season with Edmonton, 45 goals and 89 points, she's more than earned her place. For a rookie with 1038 TPE to her name, running consistent 80s in OGR, and taking nearly 300 shots on goal is unreal. 8th in the league for goals and 7th for shots? That's unreal, it speaks to a phenomenal setup and an absolute banger of a rookie career. While yes, Deth Klaw and Blade Hunter and MattyJ and Cade de Vries all had good seasons, I think it would take a particular kind of denseness to think Cake's wasn't almost preternaturally better - she just crushed it, every step of the way. Not to mention, of course, her presence in the LR, hyping everyone up for game after game, and all of the extra things that a truly phenomenal contender gets up to - off the ice, we all know Cake is and S tier user, but on the ice, Alexa was electric this season. And if you think otherwise - you're wrong - and with so few other rookies in genuine contention for the award, I feel pretty confident in saying that this year, it goes to her. And also, we riot if it doesn't. uwu.

Honestly, probably the West - the Eastern teams all have really good support structures to allow for their best players to shine, and those structures just aren't present in the All-Star Game. Sure, you can put an insane 2k TPE Gretzsky's Office centreman on the first line, but if they aren't getting fed the puck from their Setup Man or their Quarterback or the like, it's not going to help much!

8. The Teammate One (+3 TPE, 157 words)

The only Winnipeg Aurora to make the All-Star game this year was Langston Hardison-Laurent, or "LHL" as we call him here. LHL led the team in goals and points, and was definitely the one deserving of the All-Star nod for our club. They deserved it not only for the statistical aptitude that they displayed in S79, but also for the team leadership and wisps of being the team MVP. While not the most shining season overall, especially with a minus 43, Winnipeg would have lost a lot more games and would have been further in the basement if not for LHL. One stat I think is great for him as an All-Star is his 53.9% faceoff win rate. He also led our forwards in ice time and was the driving force of the Aurora this year. As he is peaking, I would expect a few more All-Star nominations for him in the next 3 to 4 seasons.

12. If It Was Up To Me (+4 TPE, 212 words)

I have two points to make on this prompt. First, I think Samuel Michaud was absolutely robbed of a Hall of Fame nod. His seasons of eligibility have expired, and we will never be graced with his presence in the prestigious club. Yes, Hamilton was good during him time so the shine fades, but he had five cups over 11 seasons. Additionally, he had a Scott Stevens nomination and only one All-Star bid (and a 2nd Team at that). He was their defensive defenseman on an offensive powerhouse, so truly a two-way defenseman. Sure he was never elite over a season, but he was very great and consistent over a number of seasons. He was a catalyst in those cup wins. Secondly, it's unfortunate that my player, Marcel Beck, didn't get more All-Star nominations than he did. He was nominated for the Biscuit award in 68 and both the biscuit and stevens in 69 but did not get the all-star designation in either season. How are you nominated for being the best in both facets but not good enough to be an all-star? Beck has played in the All-Star game 6 times, but was only named to the All-Star rosters once, as a rookie. That's probably what keeps him from the Hall.

6. Your player starts practicing a skill that has nothing to do with hockey, what do they do and how it goes?
Mikkel would utilize other sports and the skills they offer to help develop his skills in unconventional ways. Using 2 of his favourite sports outside of hockey to help get and edge against all the other standing players league wide.

1) He would sign up and participate in batting training for baseball. With the focus on reading timing of the ball and location of where it would land once thrown or hit. This would further develop his ability to focus on where the puck will head next
2) Shooting in lacrosse over and over - build that wrist strength and really make his wrist shot elite and on the level of a top end forward making both options for shots to be lethal as can be (121 words)
