Reflection on your season - how did your player fare on the ice this season? Did you meet or surpass your individual player goals or did you come up short? Whether you excelled or disappointed - what can you attribute that to? What will you try to do better next season?

I was pretty happy with my performance this season. Picked up almost a point per game, had a positive rating, and contributed on special teams. I even managed a bit over 2 hits per game which is pretty solid as well to further the narrative as one of the power forwards in the history of the SHL. However, in other areas I was a bit more disappointed. I went pretty stagnant in terms of actually scoring goals this season, instead contributing assists more so. I was also pretty inefficient in terms of limiting giveaways and pulling off takeaways - combined with a low defensive game rating indicates that I wasn't much of a two-way forward. I'd like to improve in these final areas but honestly at my age I'm just happy to make positive contributions to the team and can't ask for or expect much more than that. I've had to reinvent myself a bit over time and I'm sure that will continue into the next season as well, but it's hard to imagine really gaining skills in any area.

Create a new skater or goalie role for FHM. In what scenarios is this new player role best utilized? What attributes are considered important attributes to this new role, and why? Which attribute is the key one?

My new skater role that I didn't see an exact replica of in my brief searching would be a "Pure Athlete". This player would be best suited as a way of testing the defense with their athletic ability, similar to a receiver in football that can outrun and outjump their opposition if left open. The drawback of each of course is that they can't create much separation on their own. The most important attributes would be all of the physical ones in order to get away from the defense with speed and strength along with the stamina to wear them all down - speed would probably be the singular key attribute if just one should be chosen.

HAIKUS - write 2 SHL themed haikus for 1 TPE or 4 SHL themed haikus for 2 TPE.

Atlanta burns hot
Played well for this whole season
Flamed out come playoff time

Manuel Gotze is
Not the best hitter around
But he wants to be

How did Michael Scarn
Score so many damn goals and
Assists for Steelhawks

I am very sad
Because none of our SHL teams
Had sixty-nine points

a. The season series between these two teams was tied 3-3. Do you think either team has an advantage in this series or do you see it as a true toss up?

I see this one as pretty much a toss up based on regular season results. Considering their split during the season as well as the cumulative point totals, goals for, and goals against for the two clubs, I would find it very hard to support that there is a substantial divide between the two in terms of overall play.

b. Each of these teams boasts a very strong first powerplay unit - which team has the special teams advantage in this series?

Gotta give this one to Chicago based on their even stronger first powerplay unit. The likes of Westbroek, Daniel Smeb, Sellman, and even Kennedy from his defensive position were top notch this season, and I expect that to continue in the all important final series of the season where Chicago is likely to run them out there as much as possible.

c. Which of these two teams' brandings do you prefer? Take into account colors, logo, name, location, and anything else you consider relevant.

I'm a bigger fan of Hamilton's I think? It's pretty close, as though Chicago in general is pretty overdone I do like the Syndicate idea as a unique take. Still, being based out of Hamilton and being based off of a series of real-life teams is pretty cool and the logo just looks better to me than Chicago's.
