It's already the end of the season! As many of you know, we have a tradition of automatically giving the maximum bonus to all articles and podcasts related to the SHL/SMJHL drafts and the WJC/IIHF tournaments during our special “2x media bonus weeks”. This season, we also added a special 2x bonus on all articles and podcasts related to our new Prospect Showcase.  If you're more into graphic design than writing, our friends at the gfx department have already posted the dates for their special week (see link above).

A. IIHF/WJC Media “Week”: Commencing now until October 9th, at 23:59 Pacific Time - for the entire tournament duration - all articles and podcasts related to the IIHF tournament or the WJC tournament, whether current or past, will be valued at double the standard rate.

Please include (2x IIHF) (2 x WJC) or an equivalent marker in your thread subject to help the graders.

B. SHL Draft Media Week: Starting immediately and running until October 2nd, at 23:59 Pacific Time - encompassing a few days before and after the draft - all articles and podcasts about the SHL Draft, whether current or past, will be worth double.

Please add (2x SHL Draft) or an equivalent marker in your thread subject.

C. SMJHL Draft Media Week: Beginning only on October 2nd, and extending until October 9th, at 23:59 Pacific Time - once again, covering a few days before and after the draft - all articles and podcasts related to the SMJHL Draft, whether current or past, will be valued at double the standard rate.

Please add (2x SMJHL Draft) or an equivalent marker in your thread subject.

D. SMJHL Prospect Showcase: To celebrate this season’s Prospect Showcase, starting now until October 9th, at 23:59 Pacific Time, all articles and podcasts related to the SMJHL Prospect Showcase will also be valued at double the standard rate. The graphics department also have a special 2x event for the Prospect Showcase, starting today.

For new players: Please know that all new members of our community can request an automatic 2x media bonus for their first article or their first podcast. If your first submission is during a 2x event, you can use your 2x first media bonus on your next article/podcast.


As always, ensure that your submissions adhere to the submission guidelines for media. If you have any questions, feel free to contact TheGreatToeJam or myself. Media submissions in the wrong week will be assessed as per usual, so please ensure your content aligns with the designated event.
