Task 1 - 3 TPE

Trivia - Verification word = Buck

Task 2a and d - TPE 2

A. Just based on record and stats from S65 I’m taking the Los Angeles Panthers in the Challenge Cup Finals. They were the number one ranked team at the end of the season with Tampa Bay placing fifth, however Tampa did have a better goal differential which may be provide a challenge for the Panthers.

D. I see this as more of a team dedicated to winning it all at any given cost and trying to make their goalies job easier. That can be a good thing but also a bad thing. Good because each player understands what is at stake and is willing to go the extra distance to win. Bad because injuries.

Task 7. Milestones - 3 TPE

Task 20. - 3 TPE

For the SHL expanding to overseas territories as popularity and interest in the league grows Head Office will be looking to expand into Spain and New Zealand. More specifically Madrid, Spain and Weber, New Zealand. Nothing says rivalry more than Spaniards and New Zealanders going toe-to-toe for rights to be called the Best Team Outside of North America. Madrid was selected for it’s rich history and being a 2000 year old city. For Madrid their team name would be The Madrid Madroño (which means Bear). This name is chosen because the bear is on the coat of arms for Madrid and it has some resemblance to “madrileño” which is what the people of Madrid call themselves. The rich history of Madrid and building a team around that identity would be essential in the expansion. As for Weber the are the antipode of Madrid. Weber is a small community that would see growth with the introduction of an SHL team to the area. For Weber their team name would be the Weber Wallabies. I couldn’t find much researching facts about Weber so I just went with something that sounded interesting and funny.

Task 21 - 3 TPE

Realistically I could (and will) create two video game bosses as both the Minnesota Monarchs and New Foundland Berserkers could be incorporated into a video game as bosses. This video game would be a 2D side scroller incorporating themes from all the SHL and SMJHL teams. For the Monarchs the vision is The King of the Kingdom you must defeat in order to save the land from something. The Monarch as he would be called would have ghostly white/pale skin wearing his royal purple and green robes with a golden crown encrusted with jewels sitting upon his head. His weapon would be his gold scepter with a purple jewel at the top. His physical attacks would be shoulder checking to hit the hero into the boards or side of the castle along with the typical punches and kicks a boss would have. He would also use his scepter to unleash a beam of butterflies. He is a difficult boss to defeat as he is the final boss in the game. Using distant attacks and knowing how to effectively dodge his beam are keys to defeating him. For the Berserker, that’s what he’d be called, would be a muscly woodsman covered in animal pelts. A strong physical presence to be feared with his two axes he uses to chop and throw at the player. The key again is using distance to defeat this boss.

Task 23 - 2 TPE

I’m doing alright, been better though. The months of May and June have been very chaotic. The beginning of May saw me taking my wife to emergency a few times, so that was dope. Just a few weeks later on the way to my cousins wedding the transmission in my car gave out and had to get the replaced which was not cheap. Add on more car complications for my car and my wife’s car recently has just been great. Other than that life has been pretty chill, some things beginning to look up and will hopefully turn around mine and my wife’s luck and misfortune. I also get to go to a concert in August which I haven’t done since before Covid.
