TASK ONE: There are two options for this task. 

If you are a player in the Challenge/Four Star Cup: How is your player feeling for the Finals? Are they nervous or excited? Are they ready? Write at least 150 words about the few days before the beginning of the Finals for your player and how they prepared for the series. 

If not: How has your player kicked off their offseason? Are they traveling? Meeting up with friends and partying? Following the games? Write at least 150 words about the beginning of your player’s offseason. Must include at least one other player.

After Sven Karlsson cleared out his locker at the end of the Renegades season and got ready to try and wind down for a couple months he knew something felt different. Despite having his best season ever 15 years deep into his career, leaving the arena that night he knew physically and mentally it had taken a toll on him. He ached and hurt just like every player after a tough season of hockey, but weeks into the playoffs and he was still feeling terrible. After a couple of frank conversations with his parents and his wife, Sven made the tough decision to take the step back that everyone does at some point and end his playing career on the ice. Quitting while you're ahead is something that Sven is a firm believer in, and leaving the sport with the things he's achieved under his belt leaves him with no shame. Sven his family decided then to go away for a vacation with his best friends and their families Chris Crutchfield and Ronnie Westbrook. The three took their families out to the Bahamas for a week after the Steelhawks' playoff exit and we're able to unwind and take their minds off things for a little while. There was a message waiting for Sven when he got back, apparently an opening had come up in the Renegades front office...

TASK TWO: Who is your choice for the unsung hero of the S39 playoffs up to this point? Must be at least 150 words and include at least two statistics in support.

Maximilian Wachter of the LA Panthers has been one of the best power forwards in the league for as long as anyone can remember, there simply isn't anyone in the modern game who can be as dominant physically and skilful as him. Wachter has been on good form again during the playoffs this season, maybe not as headline grabbing as some of his teammates or as exceptional as some of his own performances, but he has been doing what he does best, putting up points and laying people out. Wachter has been point per game to this point, 8 points in 8 games. Add to that 4 goals and 27 hits and you've got one power forward who can get the job done. Wachter has been a great cog in the LAP playoff performance so far and if the team is going to get their way to the cup, Wachter is going to be a huge reason why. A great guy who is universally liked off the ice, Wachter is the definition of an unsung hero.

TASK SIX: Finals series always show surprises. Who will have to stand out the most from each team in order to win it? Make a prediction for potential series MVPs. Must be at least 150 words and mention at least one player from each team.

In the case of the LA Panthers, Timo Haas is hard to ignore as a potential series MVP. The goaltender seems to have really hit his stride this season but has announced that it will be his last in the league unfortunately, so he's gonna be there with extra motivation to go out and win s cup to round off his career. He's already proved that he can steal wins from other teams and if he's on form the Panthers are gonna be very hard to beat. On the other side of the coin, I like Terrance Nova as a potential MVP for the Chiefs. He's been a great performer during the first two rounds of the playoffs and been quite responsible for how easy Minnesota have managed to get past their opponents. He's going to be a handful for the LA defense and can make a lot happen out of nothing, expect to see him cause a few headaches for the Panthers and play some exciting hockey during the last series of the season.
