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?

Jimmy Slothface did really well on the ice this season, putting up the best season of his career so far. He ended up with 64 points which was good for eighth place in total league scoring. I was in a race with Monkey D. Luffy for a bit there for the points lead, so I hoped that maybe I would keep it up and get some award nominations, but I slowed down as the season progressed and others shot ahead of me. I think me not having a MVP caliber season wasn't a surprise though, so I wasn't really disappointed. I believe I also set the New Orleans Specters franchise record for total points in a season, so I cannot really be mad at that. Next year will be my first season in regression, but I hope that I can keep up this play and have another really strong season so that my career looks a little better when this is all said and done.

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?

No wonder hotdog got a team, he was able to see other proposals! Jokes aside, I do think that there should be teams on other continents. Obviously in the real world that is not entirely feasible, and I think the NFL considering putting a team in London is pretty absurd. But this is a sim league, and while we strive to achieve some realism I do not think hypothetical travel for these teams is really something that is something that is crucial for my immersion. But we have people in our community from all over the world, and I think we might be able to draw even more people in if we have representation from around the world. Plus it would open us up to more branding options which I think could be great for mixing up the overall look of teams.

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

I have to say that the Edmonton Blizzard are the best team to not make the finals this season. The Blizzard have built a really strong lineup up and down their roster, and they always give us a lot of fits when we play them. I thought New Orleans was going to cruise to an easy Western championship in the regular season, but Edmonton surged ahead of us. They also played us extremely close in the Western finals, pushing us to a game seven and a one goal win to prevail over them. Last season we went to six games against them, so it is always a tough road through Edmonton. I think they are one of the powerhouses in the league, and between us two teams we represent the best.

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

With FHM, I think we will see largely the same teams at the top of the IIHF tournament this offseason. I imagine that Canada and USA will be very strong and both will be pushing for the medal rounds. Hopefully USA will start their correct goalies this time around! I'm sure Czechia will also be good again. With their strong leadership and roster they always seem to be hanging around the top of the standings. I do think that Great Britain will be able to medal again as our roster just keeps getting stronger and stronger. I think this may be the peak, or at least close to the peak, for a large part of our roster. Maybe we can surprise a few people and take home the gold this season! It would be tough but with our roster I think we have it in us. Otherwise I do not think there will be too many surprises in this IIHF tournament.
