1. Written, 3 TPE (150 words min.) 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? Overall, it was a fairly solid season for Kwame Dakari in his 3rd year in the SMJHL. I think scoring 18 goals last season and only playing 41 games, vs. 22 this year in the full season is fairly similar. Essentially, scoring .44 goals per game in both years, which is certainly solid and has put me near the top of the league in both seasons. On top of that, I've been able to contribute on both ends, leading the Kraken in blocked shots for the forward group. While scoring goals is my primary focus obviously you cannot be a liability on the defensive side. We were not able to repeat as champs but Newfoundland is obviously a great team. I wish I had have been able to perform like I did in last year's playoffs. I think that would've been a huge swing in our favour but I think I came up short. Code: 3. Written, 2 TPE (100 words min.) It's too late for this go-around of expansion, so hypothetically - should there be SHL franchises in other continents? I saw some interesting European proposals in the PT. Should these - or proposals for any other continent that's not North America - become a reality in the SHL? I don't see why not. Expanding outside of our continent is a must. The players in this league come from all over, there's no reason teams can't be based in other countries. We had a team based in West Kendall for lord's sake, we can't put one in a major European city? I think creating a separate division or maybe even moving our junior leagues to a new continent could be a cool way to mix in some new locations. Europe I think would make most sense to dip into from the early going. Code: 6. Written, 2 TPE (100 words min.) The world's hottest app is TikTok - which SHL or SMJHL player would have the biggest following on TikTok? What do they post there? Honestly, I'm 29 IRL and TikTok is mind blowing to me, it's what has made me finally really feel old. The entire Kraken roster has jumped on board obviously though and Jimmy Wagner has a huge following clearly, the leader of our team, Vitek Vitecek likes to jump on there with some dances. Kwame Dakari has been gaining some traction lately posting TikToks of hockey skills such as stickhandling and target shooting. Including some fancy dangles and shootout moves as well. Trying to ensure there's more than just kids flossing on there. Flossing I know probably isn't cool anymore. Code: 7. Written, 3 TPE (150 words min.) The two finals teams have decided to team up for a fundraising opportunity to benefit both cities. What noble cause will the teams decide to benefit? What sort of fundraiser will the teams hold together? How will the two teams mesh before the finals start? I think unlike the NHL it would be great if the SHL was able to make a bigger jump and support the BLM movement. Too often, in the game of hockey, a sport where it's predominately played by middle class white children, messages like this are completely lost and simply not understood. Offering support and just an ear to listen at times like this is extremely powerful. Rather than looking for fault in their arguments or forcing opinions of your own down their throat, hearing and learning is what this is truly about before we're able to move forward and make real change. The SHL should be championing this cause much like the NBA and truly support a portion of their player base and fans. Committing budgets towards helping make the change happen and beginning fundraising at the premier event of the season, the Challenge Cup, would be a huge move. Code: 16.
