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?

Jason Desrouleaux had a decent year this season for the Vancouver Whalers in the SMJHL. I was definitely expecting a little bit more out of him on the ice for the Whalers, but eh what can you do. Nothing but keep on working hard and then all the results will come. Jason Desrouelaux was able to put up 16 goals in 50 games for the Whalers. Which was a decent improvement over his previous rookie season in the SMHJL. He was only able to score 7 goals in his rookie season, very weak stuff. So the improvement was there, which you love to see. Jason Desourleux also added 7 assists this season. Giving him a solid 23 points. Next season you would like to see Desrouelx take a much bigger step with a bigger role within in the Vancouver Whalers system. Hoping to see him become a star and putting up at least 25 goals.

This offseason will be extra exciting, as it features the rare expansion draft! Write about how you think the expansion draft will play out, either for one or both of the expansion teams or from an SHL team's perspective.

Oh man what a super exciting time for the SHL! A two team expansion draft. You just really love to see it. The Atlanta Inferno and the Seattle Argonauts are too very cool new franchises in the SHL. Both teams have a very difficult task ahead of them, icing a competitive hockey team from the left overs of the other SHL Teams. Definitely do not envy these two new fresh gms on the block haha. I think the Argonauts are going to focus heavily on the defensive side of the game of hockey. I think there is a decent amount of solid defensman available to the teams in this expainson draft. So I think it would be a wise choice to rush and snag as many of these good defenseman as you can. as quickly as possible so you block out the other team from drafting these good defenseman. I believe it will be Seattle who will employ this strategy.

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

Every season plenty of strong teams never end up making the finals in their respected league. It is the very sad truth of sports. and you know what this season is no different. In my mind I think the strongest team who ended up not making it to the finals it would have to be the Hamilton Steelhawks in the SHL. What is there not to like about this fine team filled with strong boys? nothing really they truly have no holes in their roster. They have strong veterans and good young prospects so I dont think it will be long before the Hamilton Steelhawks are back in the finals. I think their downfall this season was poor goaltending. But their goalie is young so he will hopefully improve.

What are your predictions for the upcoming IIHF or WJC tournament? What team do you think will win/surprise people/be bad/etc.?

Oh man lets go, its IIHF time. One of my favourite times of the season. It surely looks to be a very exciting and fierce iihf tournament. There is a couple of teams that stand out the most to me. First team and my personal favourite would have to be Team Canada. They are just absolutely stacked at every position. So it is really hard for me to not have Team Canada has my favourite for the tournament. Their forward group is just straight nasty man. I do not think any team can compete with that forward group unreal stuff. Now for my surprise team I am going to take Team Ireland. Well i dont think they end up winning a medal. I do think they could make a surprise run and maybe knock out one of the favourite teams in this tourney. They are a young up and coming squad who I can see doing some real damage in the near future.

Welp, you waited until the last day to grind out your CW and the CC finals are longggggggg over by now. congrats to [TEAM], woo! Reflecting back on the series, who gets your vote for series MVP? Make the case why this player deserves it over any other.

Wow buffalo are champs amazing stuff buffalo congrats. Now who would I give mvp too? That is a challenging question considering that many  players had themselves a very fine series. You know you could say maybe Matt Kholin, he has himself a decent case at winning mvp. Or maybe even Monkey D Luffy, yeah perhaps. but too me there is one person who stands out above the rest and that would have to be goaltender Elizabeth Doyle. She played out of her mind in this playoff run. Finishing with a 1.86 gaa and a silly .927 save percentage. This is easily Elizabeth Doyle's award in my eyes.
