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 think I need to bring down my expectations as it was another disappointing regular season for my player. It feels like center milestones are very inflated, but I only got two of them, obtaining the bare minimum for +/- and finishing with low penalty minutes. It’s somewhat sad being over 1700 TPE and not hitting either of the point milestones. I don’t get much powerplay time so that might be a reason for missing out. I was close on assists, but pretty far off from the goal cutoff. I might be moving up to PP1 next season so if I do I hope I’m able to get the point milestones next season. I should be close to or over 1900 TPE by the end of next season, so if I only get another two individual milestones that will be extremely disappointing. Also as someone with a few more TPE into defensive categories I also missed out on giveaways and takeaways. Maybe next time.

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

This was easily Quebec City. Sorry Evok. They had one of the best regular seasons in the SMJHL in recent years and are a very stacked team. Basically everyone had them in the finals. Unfortunately they lost to Anchorage in the semi finals. With the current playoff format in both leagues, it’s increasingly likely the semi finals will be tougher than the actual finals as 1st and 2nd are guaranteed to meet there if they win out. If we ever swap to FHM7 I hope that it’s possible to fix this and enable reseeding. This question will be relatively easy to answer until we see some changes.

12. Written, up to 4 TPE - Pick up to 4 Challenge Cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words.

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?

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

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

d. Would you rather get a lap dance from Hugh Jazz, have a staring contest with Luke Atmey (velv's old player), reach for objects on high shelves with Dale Miller, or play League with Parker Smeb?

A. I genuinely thought this series was going to be a 50/50 toss up and probably go to seven games. I figured the +/- 1.5 overtimes in the finals predictions was an easy over and was correct as two of the five games went to OT. If it went to seven who knows, we could have had three or four OTs.
B. I wish there was a better way to look up special team stats in the index. Hamilton’s top five PPP players have a combined 95 PPP, whereas Chicago’s have a combined 99. Off that I would give the edge to Chicago. Sadly I cannot view the percentage without viewing it through FHM or I would probably pick whoever had the better %.
C. So as a Chicago player I am 100% biased, but trying not to be, I would still pick them. I prefer the yellow and black over the dull colours Hamilton has. I also like the mob character more for the logo as there’s already a couple of other bird teams around the league. I would give the edge in location to Hamilton, however.
D. I think it would be fun and pretty cute to reach for objects for Mills. From the sounds of it, he would have trouble reaching anything on the top shelves of cupboards and maybe even on top of his fridge. If we were roommates we would probably have to logistically place all his stuff in the kitchen and pantry so he doesn’t have to call on me too often.
