2. Written, 3 TPE, GM stands for Great Man (150 words min.)

There have been some good and some bad GMs in SHL history. (Mostly bad) Pick a GM you think was outstanding and explain why you think they were one of the better GMs in SHL history. Point to trades/signings/trophy wins/locker rooms to support your claim.
Ham gotta be one of the better GM’s because he has three championships to his name as a gm, with two of them coming in the last three seasons. He has one of the best locker room environments to be apart of in the Newfoundland locker Room. The players he has drafted as well as the number of alums in the locker room make everyone feel welcome. Which is why Ham has been able to build a very distinct championship DNA in the newfoundland berserkers. Not only was it two championships in the last three seasons but it has been three finals appearances in the last three seasons as well. As well our last championship (being the one just won) we ended up winning in a sweep as well as only losing one single game in the playoffs. We ended up doing this when everyone thought we wouldn’t have been able to get to the finals this past season, but with Ham’s great drafting, and trading we did make it and we walking through our opposition on the way there.

6. Written, up to 4 TPE - Grab Bag: Pick up to 4 Challenge Cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words.
a. What is worth more to you, a cup win in the FHM era or the STHS era?

As I have only been in the FHM era then winning a cup in the FHM era is worth more to me. Yes there is some FHM luck that happens either for you or against you, and we have this unknown stat known as bravery FHM is still worth more to me because I havnt experienced STHS. (57)

b. Be honest, would we have seen the same final 4 as last year (Chicago, Texas, Hamilton, Buffalo) had BUF/HAM and TEX/CHI not run into each other in the second round?

Well where the SHL has had the same final the past two seasons, and the SMJHL also almost had the exact same final as last season, then it is possible that we would have seen the same final four for the SHL if they had not faced one another in the second round. (53)

c. Hamilton has a population of roughly 5 people. Where would you relocate the franchise?

Following the NHL as an example I would relocate Hamilton to Vegas baby. Lets see how that vegas flu affects the players of the SHL, could they do what the NHL version have not thus far? Also right there at the casinos lets open up SHL and SMJHL betting for every game not just the season. (56)
d. Who is the best player to NOT make the final in the past 2 years? Ryuuji Minamino he has led the league in points this season and was just out side the top ten in points the season before. It is unfortunate because he is on Chicago, not a bad team but just had to go through Texas and Hamilton in back to back years. Maybe next season he will make the finals and Chicago can make that push. (64)

12. Milestones, up to 3 TPE - Milestones
18. Written, 3 TPE, Apocalypse Now 150 words min

In the not so distant future (s64), 4 Texas Hamilton finals in a row have seen most of the SHLers quit out of spite. Only a select few remain. Head Office reeeeaaally likes having 20 teams so they have now allowed every user to have 5 players to fill the void of everyone who left. Name your other 4 players that aren't your current player, select their positions, and decide their focus and path in the league. Postulate where they end up after the draft and how the players pan out.
Season 64, everybody has left the SHL because the same two teams have have been to the finals in the past few years. Only a few players remain which has allowed up to five players per person, who did I create you ask what positions do they hold? Well, I would make an entire starting line up of players, one goalie, one defense, and three forwards would make up the positions. With that starting line up only one defense would not be my player. The goal is to have all five players on the same team so I can combat Texas and Hamilton by myself. My current player is Alexander Mackenzie, a forward the other players would be, Alexander Hamilton, Right wing, Alexander Graham Bell, Left wing, Pope Alexander on Defence and Alexander the Great, Goalie. This team will be a full team of Alexander’s plus one extra, all of these players would be drafted to the same team to make an ultimate opponent for Texas and Hamilton finally get another team to the finals, that will be all the players goals.
