This is my last season with Quebec City Citadelles and I am playing in my first (and last) SMJHL finals. At the time this article was written Quebec is leading 3-1 so there is big chance we will get the cup we wanted so badly for last two seasons. Since I will go and play in SHL next season I could only change things if I could turn back time. If this would be possible I would change my player skills just a bit. I am happy with my faceoff skills (leader in faceoff win percentage in last two seasons), if team have puck then they can score and will not receive goal. But I would invest a bit more points into defense skills. I believe that is my biggest downside so I guess I would sacrifice some of my stamina, bravery and acceleration to raise checking, hitting positioning and shot blocking. Changes would be minor since you don’t change horse that is winning and I am only 1 win away from getting that Cup.

Best SMJHL team that did not reach finals is for sure Kelowna Kings. They were the best team in regular season with 109 points. They had 7 more wins than second team – Quebec City Citadelles. They also had best defense, second best offense and best GF/GA ratio. So they were big favorites not only to get into finals but to win the cup. Now why they did not reach finals? Because of weird playoff format they faced Quebec City (second best team) in semifinals. Quebec was in similar position last year being by far the best team in league and losing in semifinals against Armada. Now Quebec got back what they deserved last year and eliminated Kings. I guess there still is some sort of justice around here.

b. I believe best defense is offense that is why I think Hamilton is in better position than Buffalo. You can not win if you don’t score that is why I think offense is more important that defense. Of course defense can sometimes stop great offense but on long term good offense will beat good defense.
c. Here I must go with Hamilton Steelhawks. I like everything about their branding more than Buffalo. Since I like birds a lot their name and logo looks much more attractive than Buffalo. Also with my favorite color being blue and yellow I really like their jerseys a lot. I am indifferent regarding city. Well my favorite team would be Seattle Eagles with color scheme similar to one Hamilton have.

It is perfect time for this: after 4 great seasons with Quebec City where I had a chance to participate in building team from ground up (team Quebec City Citadelles was established 4 seasons ago). So first of all I would like to thank GM @Evok and her assistant @Faelax. After last season’s blow in semifinals you two didn’t give up and (hopefully) this year we will get this. Of course I have many nice words about all my teammates; guys that already left and guys that came in in last three seasons it was nice to play with you all, but biggest cheers go to S56 teammates that started this team with me and will lift this cup before going to SHL. So @AL GRINGO, @Matteo, @LimJahey, @kentakira, @ztevans,@Salming,@Keven and @enigmatic : Guys it was a pleasure, good luck in future (inside this game and in real life). Cheers to all!!
