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?

Ronlain has reached new heights in this season. He has gone above and beyond along with his Cuda buds. While the season in general was one of the best seasons for the Cudas in a while, Ronlain set personal bests in many categories. Knocking in 16 goals and 21 assists for a grand total of 37 points (hey, that's my number!), Ronlain has truly started to come into his own in the SHL. Yeah, regression may be coming up soon, but I think Ronlain still has many good years left in the league and can really make an impact as the Cudas finally start to pull things together and prepare to make a run at some championships. Some might say that Ronlain's career was wasted in the years he spent on a rebuilding Tampa franchise, but I would heavily disagree and say that he still has plenty more to show and that the league will see the true force of Tampa Bay in the seasons to come.

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 idea for a new goalie role in FHM is the enforcer goalie. Ever been in your crease and your defensemen just aren't clearing out those pesky opposing forwards? Ever had a forward get a little too comfortable in your space? Well, with this goalie archetype you can channel your inner Ron Hextall and just take a good ol' chop right at the player messing with your goalie groove. You can just cut em down lumberjack style or give em a good ol' whack to the back of the head with your blocker. Yeah, you'll be getting penalty minutes like there's no tomorrow, but nobody will bother you in your crease again.

Over the offseason your player is getting involved in some charitable causes. What is your player/team doing around the community/for charity this offseason?

Ronlain has decided that getting involved in some charitable causes would be a great way to spend his offseason. Ronlain is a huge believer in helping kids get involved in hockey. One of the best things you can do for young kids is give them something safe and fun to do in their spare time so they dont go getting into trouble. So Ronlain, along with his Cuda buds, have decided to open up a youth charity dedicated to getting disadvantaged kids into hockey. He is incredibly excited for this opportunity to help the kids in the Tampa Bay area and he hopes that this will help to encourage a whole new generation of kids to play hockey. Ronlain recognizes the privilege he had to have parents who were financially well off and had the time and patience to bring him to hockey games and practice, etc, when he was a kid, and he hopes that this charity will give other kids a chance.

Which SHL or SMJHL team was the best team to not make the finals this season and why?

The best team to not make the finals is probably the Buffalo Stampede. They've been one of the top contenders in the SHL for a long time and they only narrowly lost to Chicago in the semifinals, who would be the eventual winners. I think that Buffalo honestly would have beat Hamilton as well if they had made the finals, and that the real finals this season was the semifinals between Chicago and Buffalo. Hamilton is strong, sure. They've been a good team for a long time. But I think that teams like Buffalo and Chicago just outclassed them this season.
