The biggest need for the ELK is offence! The ELK struggled to score goals this season and it was arguably their downfall. The team could not score to save their life. Now some of that may be the system. However, the ELK had a lot of top defence, and played a pretty defensive game. But you'd hope that the strong defensive play would leave to more of an offensive attack. But that did not happen. Heading into next season the Elk will lose some forward players that they will need to fill holes with. However, the young core will move up into the bigger roles, so they really just need young players to fill some depth roles. There will also be 1-2 or defence spots that will be left open that can be addressed by just added some more depth pieces. On the offensive side of the puck this season the ELK played very physical, and that is even for some of their playoffs that did not have physical stats. So that is one thing the team will need to look at. Letting the skilled players play more skilled, and the physical players play more physical. If the team is drafting new targets I think they will need to look at more skilled players, players that have better passing, better shooting, better hockey IQ. On the back end of the team, the team should focus on drafting some defensive players who are two players, or offensive minded that look to make that first pass.

Ultimately for the Elk they will need to address their system play to be on the offensive side of the puck. They played a very conservative brand of hockey and they will need to look at playing a more aggressive puck attacking brand of hockey. They will need to add players who can skate, and be fast to the puck.

After a long season the team is not looking for just a fun afternoon or day, they are looking for a fun week or two to let loose and relax! The week would start with staying in Regina, we would spend one day attending the annual fried chicken conference where local cooks and chains would have a competition for the best fried chicken, and best chicken strips. Which obviously included all the different dips. After a day full of eating, the next day would be followed by a day full of drinking as we would attend the Regina Craft Brewery convention. We would try different craft brews and just enjoy the event, truly being able to kick our feet back.

We would then have 1 day to recover before boarding our flight to sunny Cancun Mexico! We would travel down to Cancun and stay in the hotel zone, maybe at Riu Palace Las Americas! This location features great beaches, great food, great atmosphere and even a night live for those that are looking to stay up a little later. Everyone on the team deserves a sunny vacation spot and there is no better spot then Cancun! While in Mexico we would most likely take a couple excisions, one on a catamaran for sure, enjoying a day on the season and scuba diving in the ocean and coral reefs. The next day we might do an ATV adventure where we get to explore some of the forest areas of Mexico, before stopping at a cenote and getting to swim within the cenote! I think the team would really be able to bond over this trip, only brining us closer before we head into the next season!

If I was not playing for the Regina Elk which team would I be playing for is a great question. I think personally I would want to play for the Carolina Kraken. Now this nothing against Quebec, but look at their team, they are stacked they do not need any more help in the playoffs. I like playing for the underdog, which in this series is the Kraken. I also feel like I like the branding of the Kraken better as well. When looking at the roster make up I also know more people in the Kraken roster so it would be a more natural fit if I was flipping teams.
