Task 4
The Hamilton Steelhawks did not make many moves this season. And the few they did, they did not make a huge impact on how they made the Challenge Cup Finals. But, like last season and the season before, the Steelhawks are the kings of the East. The beast of the east if you'd like. The Hamilton Steelhawks steamrolled in 5v5 as they were first in goals for with a 3.26 goals for and a 2.20 goals against average which got them first and second respectively. Powerplay was lacking for the Hawks as they had a 18.95% success rate to give them 5th. But penalty kill was also good as they got 86.24% which gives them 3rd in the league. Overall, Hamilton just dominated the East. They had 72 points, tied for best in the league. They had 72 points for god sakes. The next closest in the east was 58 points. They continued their domination throughout the playoffs as they swept the Platoon and only lost one game to the Wolfpack. Their opponents had a similar route only losing 3 games so far these playoffs. The vet, David Winter is just dominating the playoffs with 12 points in 9 games followed by Cant and Jakobsen with 7 points each. But the tale of the tape for the Hawks is their goaltender, Edwin Ask. 8 wins, 1 loss. A .939 save percentage and a 1.48 goals against average. Not only do the Jets have to stop the high powered offence of the Hawks, but their seemingly impossible to beat goaltender.

What the Hawks have done these past few seasons in the East is create a dynasty. But that dynasty is never complete without Challenge Cups. After the defending champions, the Jets were dethroned already by the Renegades, the Hawks only have one team to beat. And those are the guys they went 2 in one against in the regular season. The Renegades seem to have the regular season advantage, but the Hawks did have to play 2 less games than the Renegades. That could be a huge factor as there will be questions as how much to the Renegades have left. Only time will tell.

Task 5
Jordin Fourfour is 100% Texas's MVP. I mean, my god man, it seems he is impossible to beat so far these playoffs. In the regular season, Jordin Fourfour had a 27 - 14 - 3 overall record. That's just fucking amazing man. He was first in the league in save percentage with a .925 save percentage. He was also first in goals against average with a 1.98. He had the most shutouts with 6 and was 3rd in the league in wins. So far in these playoffs, Fourfour has only last 3 games so far. While that doesn't look very impressive for a finalist after the amazing season he had, let's go deeper into his stats. He has a .907 save percentage and a 2.17 goals against average. Pretty impressive numbers for an MVP of a team.

Night in and night out, Jordin Fourfour has always had his teams' back. And don't expect that to change in the finals. The pressure has been high on Fourfour as the high flying top 6 of the Renegades has been amazing, but Fourfour has been that much better as well. And don't expect it to stop. The supposedly stacked West teams have had trouble trying to get past Fourfour. Even the best of the west and the league last season, the Winnipeg Jets. How sweet would it feel for Fourfour to beat his own team. The team who traded him for Dahl and Dooley. It would be some pretty good revenge for him. And all he has to do is win 4 more games and make the team who drafted him watch as he raises the cup. I'm sure both parties have nothing but respect for each other but we all know, you always want to beat the team who traded you. And I'm sure it is no different for Fourfour.

So, at the end of the day, the MVP for the Renegades in the playoffs, regular season and the SHL has been FourFour. Expect Fourfour to win most of the goaltender awards this season and awards for playoff MVP in the playoffs. But, the only one he cares about is the Challenge Cup. And he only has a few more wins left to go.

Task 6
The underrated stud of these playoffs are Chico Salmon. He does have good point totals, but when you think of the Renegades, Fourfour, Hall, Partlow etc come to mind. Salmon, who is an amazing player in his own right has just been a stud this season and playoffs for the Renegades. Salmon had 15 goals and 27 assists to add on to his 13 plus rating. Chico Salmon was drafted first overall by the Renegades back in season 17. Whether it's the fact that his agent, Aidan Richan was well known around the league and a respected player on and off the ice or if it was his own play, there is no doubt in my mind Salmon has finally proved himself to the league. But, compared to the stacked Renegades, he is still considered underrated. He is outshined by a lot of his teammates but still produces and doesn't let any of that get to him.

In the playoffs, Chico Salmon is going strong with a point a game. 11 games played, 6 goals, 5 assists and is a plus three. Sitting behind Jordan Hall on the depth chart, Salmon has been doing better than his teammate Jordan Hall but all season, people have been like Jordan Hall is the reason why the Renegades are here. Jordin Fourfour is the reason why the Renegades are in the finals. While they may be right, you can never count out former first overall pick, Salmon. Arguably already on his way to being in the hall of fame, Salmon will keep being the way he is. I'm sure he doesn't mind taking a back seat to Jordan Hall. It takes pressure off the youngster and allows him to play the way he is. But, we are here to give him credit. In our minds, Salmon is one of the main reasons why the Renegades are doing well. Defensively and offensively. Is he the MVP? Probably not, but he is definitely the stud, and the attention everyone gives him..which is none, he is 100% an underrated stud. But, I think it's about time for Salmon to prove to the league why he is the reason why the Renegades will win the cup.

Alright boys. We made it this far. And are we going to give up now? The sweat, tears, training sessions, laughter, happiness. Are we all going to let that go to waste now? After all this, are we going to going to not give a damn sh** NOW. No, we're going out there and the OT hero is going to be on this team. Our goalie, (Ask or 44) has played his heart out this entire season. He's back there right now, throwing the f*** up. Why? Cause he knows that if he lets one more in, he may never get another chance. Are we going to let him down? Are we going to let all of our fans out there and at home be disappointed in us? After all the work and all the trash talking they did, are we going to make them bite their tongue? And most of all, are we going to give up on each other? I SAY NO. It is our time, we will have a hero and we will win this game. And we..will..have..GLORY

Task 3



Task 4

Season 20 began and the Texas Renegades were as confident as ever. The media didn't fully believe they could be the ones to break down on the walls and make it to the playoffs finals. After hard fought battles throughout the regular season. The Texas Renegades finished as the third seed just 3 pints behind the Seattle Riot in the west. The team remained confident with the likes of Jordan Hall and Chris Partlow leading the way on the offensive end. We mustn't forget by arguably one of the best goaltenders in the SHL today, Jordin FourFour. FourFour was simply sensational throughout the course of the regular season. With him in net Texas had a big chance to win it all. Upon entering the postseason the Renegades faced off against the Los Angeles Panthers. The Renegades easily defended home ice with a 2-0 series lead. Going into LA's home the Renegades split the two games 1-1 and then won in game 5 at home. The second round they were pitted against last years cup champs the Winnipeg Jets. Texas split the first two games by winning the first game and losing the second. They headed to Winnipeg and managed to get 1 W in two games. The series continued and went back to Texas where they won game 5 and 6 at home to make it to the finals.

The Renegades offense was running smoothly as Partlow, Hall and Velvra lead the way. Partlow recorded 13 points in 11 games. The goalie phenom FourFour had a save percentage of .907 and a goals against average 0f 2.17 in just 11 games. Chico Salmon and Lionel Byrde combined for 21 points to help out the Renegades offense. Everything seems to be clicking for this team and now they find themselves one step away from lifting up the cup. Can the Texas Renegades take down the Hamilton Steelhawks?. Can Chris Partlow and the secondary line keep up the production? How long can FourFour keep up this tremendous run in net? The Renegades need to stay consistent in order to take down their opponent that lies ahead.

Task 5

Every team in any sport usually has that one player they are unable to live without. That one player is usually regarded as the teams franchise player. The MVP of the team. If the Texas Renegades win it all this year the most valuable player for the team is pretty clear. Starting Goalie Jordin Fourfour. This guy has shown so many signs of being perfect in most games. He's been the most consistent player on this Texas Renegade roster. A lot of times it's forwards that carry a team and win games but in the Renegades case it's their goalie. FourFour was been outstanding all season. With such a great goalie behind you stopping nearly everything that comes his way it allows the defense to relax a little bit. Knowing that if a mistake is made FourFour will be able to clean it up. FourFour was undeniably the best goalie in the regular season with his .925 save percentage and GAA of 1.98 both tops in the league. He led the league with 6 shutouts as well. He managed these stats all while facing the 2nd most shots against which translated into 27 wins for FourFour and the Renegades.

Keeping in mind that he may not have the best stats out off goalies in the playoffs he is still the most crucial piece to his team. If FourFour can find his groove, his zone. The Hamilton Steelhawks may be unable to take down the giant. That being said the Renegades will still have to find a way to score in order to win. With what has happened so far in these playoffs for the Renegades, scoring doesn't look like it will be an issue. Jordin FourFour is the MVP of this team. Making saves that keeps the fans at the edge of their seats. FourFour is the type of goalie every team needs. FourFour is the key ingredient to a winning formula. If Texas wins the cup it would be a shocker to see anyone else other than Jordin FourFour lift the playoff MVP trophy. "We now present this years playoff MVP....."

Task 6

Underrated. Something or someone that deserves much more respect than people will allow. In the world of sports just as we will always have MVP's we will always have underrated players. Guys that work hard and do well but goes unnoticed. For me my pick for most underrated player for Texas has to be Chico Salmon. This is a guy that played exceptionally well for the Renegades last season leading them in points. His point production dropped due to moving down to the second line with Jordan Hall taken his spot on the 1st line. Salmon was unable to bring the Renegades to the playoffs last season and thus Jordan Hall was added to the roster via free agency. That proved to be the right move the Texas as they went form a non playoffs team to a 3rd seeded cup contender. Like I said his production was not the best on the team this year due to moving to the second line. Even so he put up a solid 42 points. Only 6 points off this years point leader Jordan Hall. Salmons solid play for the Renegades has been overshadowed by newcomer Jordan Hall and the goalie phenom Jordin FourFour. With two MVP caliber stars can you blame anyone for forgetting Salmon?

In the playoffs he posted 4 points in the 5 games against the Panthers and another 7 points against Lauris Prikulis and the Jets in the Conference Finals. He's been solid in the face-off circle winning 55% of his 276 draws so far this playoffs which places him in the top 10 in face off percentage. Chico Salmon has also put up 6 goals so far and is tied for the most this post season. The Renegades heavily rely on Salmon to score and produce on that second line in order for them to stay strong. Depth scoring is needed for every team and Chico Salmon has done that for the Texas Renegades this season and postseason. Going into the finals against Hamilton, Salmon's production may just be what gives Texas the edge over the Steelhawks. The Steelhawks defense must not only fear the Renegades first line but they must also fear the second line. How far can Chico Salmon go and how well will he do next season?

Task 1: COMPLETE!

Task 2:


Task 4:
When Season 20 began the Hamilton Steelhawks really didn't need to do all that much to sustain the level of skill they had last season. They had players like Edwin Ask, Joe McKeil, David Winter, and others that still had a lot of talent left and they were ready to suit up for one more year to see if the can finally reach the Challenge Cup. They won the presidents trophy last season which people said it was only because they were in the East as the East isn't as strong as the West in terms of power, skill, talent etc.

Texas however had to sign Free Agents, and add to their already pretty decent line-up. S20 they added players such as Former Renegade Alexandre Daigle, Hermoine Granger, Jordan Hall, and Jackie Lee. These players not only helped with depth on the line up but they came up big in pressure situations. Jackie Lee who has been in the Cup Finals 4 times without winning, Jordan Hall who also has never won a cup but did play on a high level team. Hermoine was hyped up before her draft but never succeeded but Texas Saw something else than just a super scorer. Adding an old Member Alexandre Daigle who has never missed the playoffs also helped them as a 2nd line winger along side of Byrde and Salmon.

When the Season started Texas started out as the average team winning 2 or 3 then losing one. They started 1st in their conference but fell out of it when Seattle started pumping in win after win. Hamilton however started off strong and didn't stop. People still say it is only because they are in the East but they still managed to win. Texas midway through the season with their newly aquired Granger, began to finally take off. They won their next 14. They went 16 games without losing in regulation until finally West Kendall stumped them. After that they went back to winning 3 and losing. At the end of the season it showed that Hamilton's vets helped them win their 2nd Presidents Trophy in 2 seasons, while Texas finally made the playoffs in 2nd place in their Conference. This was Texas first Playoffs in 2 seasons.

TASK 5:
If I had to pick a MVP for this years playoffs, it would be a very hard choice. There were so many great options, McKeil, Partlow, Winter, FourFour, EVEN Prikulis who stood tall although not making the finals. In my opinion FourFour would be my pick for the playoff MVP. FourFour started the season strong, putting up record numbers. The Texas Renegades hoped he would take it into the playoffs and that is exactly what he did. FourFour didn't back down. If he played bad one game he'd step up the next and play amazing. FourFour had very few bad games this playoffs, probably one. Its crazy how FourFour just skated on the ice and played so well each game. He really turned some heads, if he would have been a free agent this year lets just say his performance just raised his stock up to atleast 5 million.

FourFour helped the Renegades make easy work of the Los Angeles Panthers and in some analyis' heads their toughest opponent was up next. Prikulis and the Winnipeg Jets vs. FourFour and the Texas Renegades. The match up everyone has been waiting for. S14 Draftees go head to head in a battle. The Battle started off with the Renegades winning and then the Prikulis stood tall all the series but the Renegades would escape and move on to the finals.

When Renegades advanced to the Finals they faced the Hamilton Steelhawks. FourFour played incredible shutting down the Hawks in a quick 5 games. FourFour played unbelieveable and probably one of the better times of his FourFour careers, this will for sure happen again but when? Well the MVP doesn't even know we'll just have to wait and see.

Joe Mckeil had the chance in my mind to win this if only he had won the cup. He lead his team to 60 points this season so he was already warmed up and ready to fight for his team and lead them to the long awaited Challenge Cup. He had everything going for him taking out all the teams in the EAST! Until they met FourFour and the Renegades. Edwin Ask however could not outplay FourFour. Ask who is the Veteran of FourFour could not keep up the pace with him as he soon got tired and Renegades pelted him with shot after shot finally scoring and continued to score while FourFour stood tall only giving up one game which was completely not his fault.

Task 3.



Task 4.

Alright, it’s the time of the year again. One last playoff series for ultimate victory, this time we have the Texas Renegades facing off against the Hamilton Steelhawks. We will look at the Texas Renegades, who added Jordan Hall in the off-season as well as Maxim Horvat in a trade with the Winnipeg Jets during the season. Both added a lot to a already loaded Renegades roster. Not a lot of experts really expected them to be this good, but Texas was in a dog fight with the Seattle Riot for first in the West all season long. They were on top for most of the season, but once the season end neared the Renegades went ice cold. Once the Riot overtook Texas a lot of people thought they were getting cold at the wrong time, but after beating the Los Angeles Panthers in the first round oft he playoffs, the Renegades beat the Winnipeg Jets in the Western conference finals to advance to the Challenge Cup finals. Everybody expected a Seattle Riot vs. Texas Renegades Western conference finals, but the Jets pulled off the miracle and swept the Riot in the first round. Luckily for the Renegades, the Jets miracle was over once they faced them and the team from Texas made short work of them. But now is really time for Texas to prove that their are worthy of representing the Western conference in the playoff finals. Looking at the Renegades roster there are some players that stick out.

The Renegades have one of the best defenseman in the league in Chris Partlow who is a force on both ends of the ice. Rumor has it he also swings both ways off the ice. They also have a guy in net called 44, he is also pretty decent. And like I said before Jordan Hall has been a total force fort hem ever since they added him. Now that they reached the cup finals, they have the chance to win their 2 cup since being formed a ton of seasons ago. It will be fantastic to see one oft he best teams in the West, take on the best team of the East.

365 Words

Task 5.

Now it’s time to look at the star of this years league playoffs, we take another look at the Renegades for this. You could make a case for Jordin 44, playing stellar in all of the Texas Renegades playoff games. Or Chico Salmon who really had his coming out party this season with 11 points in 11 playoff games.
Or you could say Shawn Velvera is a worthy candidate with his 12 points in 11 playoff games. But in reality there is only one player worthy of this award and that’s the man behind all of the success the Renegades are having and that is Chris Partlow.

While shutting down the opponents top players, Partlow finds enough time to rush up the ice and create opportunities for his team mates. Even with the addition of Jordan Hall, Chris Partlow is the face of the franchise, not a pretty face, but at least they have a face. He is just one of the best defenders ever to play in this league, he’s probably 2nd best all time right behind Jason Due.

This regular season Partlow nearly scored at a PPG pace in the regular season, scoring 10 goals and adding 37 assists to his totals. Which should be good enough to win another best defenseman of the league award. But you never know. He is also a shot blocking machine with 80 shots blocked in 50 games.
He was 2nd in points on the Renegades, one point behind Jordan Hall. And in the playoffs Chris continued his scoring ways, being the leading point scorer for the Renegades with 13 points in 11 games up until now. Many people expect that this will continue in the finals against the Hamilton Steelhawks. So once all is said and done in this years playoffs Partlow will probably have a cup and a Anton Razov Trophy to his name. For all the above mentioned reason, I say that Chris Partlow is my Playoff MVP pick this season. You could probably make a case for some of the Hamilton Steelhawks players, like David Winter or Joe McKeil, but neither of them is carrying his team as much as Partlow is.

364 words

Task 6.

Another great topic to talk about, you always hear about the McKeils, the Willems, the Winters, the Partlows or the Halls, but you barely hear about the underrated stars both of those teams have to offer. Like in our previous topics, we will take a deeper look into the Texas Renegades roster, maybe we take a glimpse at the Steelhawks team, but not sure right now. If you look at both teams pages there aren’t a lot of underrated players that ain’t getting much spotlight. Both teams are filled with top players from the bottom to the top. Maybe not from bottom to the top, but you get what I mean.

But after a lot of thinking, there was one name who popped into my head. A man who has been in this league forever. A guy who used to live in a cage, but was freed and now lives in a old folks home. His name? Brendan “Gibby” Gibbon. He may not be scoring much, but he is not as useless as one might think. No idea if he is still captain of the Renegades, but he used to be captain of this Franchise. He applied most of the traits he learned from being mentored by Thomas Duddy in Las Vegas. Gibbon never really put himself out there much, he was more of a quiet leader and not one that would rock every press conference. In this seasons playoffs, Gibbon has just scored 1 point, but That’s not what he’s paid for, he is the grizzled vet, that knows what it takes to win in the playoffs, who knows how to be a pro hockey player. The one goal he scored, wasn’t a game tying goal, or even a game winning goal, it was just Gibby doing what Gibby always does. Score once in a blue moon. And still even with his goal scoring heroics, he never made a big fuzz about it. For him it was just like another day in the office. For me he is the unsung hero, the man behind all the machine, the old tough not so good at hockey anymore leader of a Team that is looking for a Cup.

Renegades in 7

Task 2:


Task 3:


Task 4:
The road to the S20 cup finals for the Renegades wasn't easy. Not even in the slightest.

After a bit of a wonky start, the Renegades were looking to shake things up a bit and solidify their position as one of the top teams in the West. That's when GM Partlow made a very bold move, packaging off Zanis Zarins and a couple of draft picks for struggling Jets forward Maxim Horvat. Horvat would be converted to a defenseman to take over Zarins' spot, but the trade ignited the team and the Renegades took off.

After the acquisition of Horvat, the Renegades went on a tear, having one of the best stretches in SHL history with an undefeated streak that almost stretched to 20 games.

On the way to the show, the Renegades handled the Panthers easily, with a convincing victory over their first round opponents. It was Prikulus and the Jets that would give the Renegades the biggest fear leading up to the finals, and Prikulus did not disappoint. Unfortunately for the Jets, the Renegades' depth and scoring calibre far outweighed that of Horvat's prior team, and they were able to put just enough goals past Prikulus after some changes to the Powerplay to take the series in 6 games. There were many games in that series that could have gone either way and the Renegades were just that close to not making it to the show. But alas, here they are, and they hope to not to have to go through some of the fear of scoring that they did against Prikulus' Jets.

The Renegades boast some star players and a wonderfully active team, and they improved vastly as the season went on. However, their competition will be VERY stiff as they take on the President Trophy winning Hamilton Steelhawks. The Steelhawks are looking for revenge for their loss against the Jets last year and took some valuable lessons with them from their loss last year. Horvat knows all too well what a challenge it can be playing against the Steelhawks, and the Renegades will look to him to provide them advice and expertise from his experience winning the cup last season with the Jets.

Words 367

Task 5:
The Renegades' MVP is undoubtedly Jordin FourFour. FourFour is a force to be reckoned with in the net and has stood on his head throughout these playoffs, and will need to do so in the finals for the Renegades to have a shot at winning this thing. Without FourFour, the Renegades would be an average team at best, I believe. The team has a lot of great components and a ton of guys who break out game in game out and provide scoring by committee, but it's FourFour who is the glue that keeps this team together.

FourFour has the clear edge over Ask this series, and will most definitely have to be twice the goalie as the Steelhawks will look to pile on the offensive chances. If there is one person who CAN do it though, it's the best goalie in the league, Jordin Fourfour. He has shown the capability to be the MVP of this league and if the Renegades do win the cup, it will be robbery if he is not named the MVP of the playoffs. Fourfour deserves all the recognition he's getting, and the Renegades are happy to have his services locked up for a few more years.

With FourFour in net, the Renegades are the favorites to win every single night. Especially with the depth and the talent in front of him, it'll be very hard to get pucks past FourFour and to win if you are the Hamilton Steelhawks.

Every year it seems like FourFour cannot get any better, and somehow he does. One of the most dedicated members of this site, Jordin is committed to neverending improvement and has a constant hunger to win games and improve his player. This kind of attitude is infectious and rubs off on the rest of the Renegades players, who play their asses off in front of him every night. FourFour deserves a cup, and he needs to win one to solidify his legacy as one of the top players in the SHL ever. This goalie is one that every GM and every defender dreams of having on their side, and every offenseman hates to play against. When FourFour is on top of his game, no one can beat him.

Task 6:

The underrated stud of the Renegades this year definitely has to be Jackie Lee. It's been said that Jackie Lee is the hero we deserve, but not the one we need right now. Or something like that, I forget how the saying goes. But we definitely need him now.

Lee is a mythical creature of all proportions. He has mastered the art of the #chipitdeep and has been chippin pucks deep for the Renegades all season long, a skill any championship team needs on their team. Lee is extremely sick at making quick turns on his skates, he's awesome at dumping pucks in and has never screwed up a line change. His skillset is vast, broad, and loved by Renegades fans alike.

Jackie Lee is an unsung hero. It doesn't matter how much time on ice he gets. It doesn't matter how many goals he scores, apples he puts in the basket, biscuits he carefully places top ched, or peanut butters he gets from the top shelf (are these how the sayings go?). All that matters is that Jackie Lee is like a kitty cat with the heart of a lion. He is a lion.

Some say he is the mix of Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee. I say fuck your sayings. Jackie Lee is Jackie Lee. Jackie Lee was put in this league to win, and a winner he is. As long as Jackie is part of the Renegades organization, it is plausible to assume they will sweep the finals. They will fuck your day up because the heart and soul of Jackie Lee lay within their SOULS!

Jackie Lee. Remember the name. Anything less than a hat trick every game in the finals will be a disappointment for Jackie Lee. Fuck, I just love saying his name. JACKIE LEE. IT FEELS SO GOOD. THANK YOU BASED JACKIE. LET ME HAVE YOUR CHILDREN.

Jackie has carried the 4th line of the Renegades this year, and 4 women have carried Jackie's babies as well. They are named Bruce, Chan, Wang, and Dang Lee. They will come to form the Lee generation that will take over the 4th line of SHL teams everywhere in the near future.

Now get out there, lay down some hits, put some pucks in the net, go tape-to-tape, put the biscuit in the basket, throw some peanut butter in that top shelf jar, pass Jackie Lee the puck, and get yourself A FUCKING CUP. SO YOU CAN USE IT TO SLAY MORE ROCKETS. Get it ? Got it? Good.

Task 1: Done

Task 2:


Task 3:


Task 4:
The Hamilton Steelhawks, like they seemingly are every season, are once again one of the top teams in the league. Led by Joe Mckeil, the Steelhawks won yet another Presidents Trophy as the league's best regular season. Unfortunately, they once again were ousted in the finals. General managers James Blaine and Magnus Jakobsen have managed to continue the long success in the steel city. Let us look at how this team was assembled. Joe Mckeil is the only player left over from the time when Raymond Lindsay was GM. Drafted 3rd overall, he has been a superstar ever since his rookie season. Also having been drafted by the Hawks and playing their entire careers in Hamilton are James Blaine, Rehn Miller, Brandon Cant and the retiring Roman Schultz. These 4 players all came into the league around the same time, and are nearing the end of their careers. Of these two, only Blaine and Miller will still be with the team next season. Schultz has retired, while Cant has been traded to the West Kendall Platoon.The Steelhawks have also added several elite veterans, such as Ivo Willems and David Winter. The two former Chiefs are a big part of the Hawk's offense. The Steelhawks have a very old roster, but they do have some youth in their lineup. Rising star Magnus Jakobsen is quickly making his name known and he is just starting to realize his potential. On the back end they have rookie Friedrich Muller. Picked 4th overall in the very deep S20 Entry Draft, Muller is a promising young defenseman with lots of potential. While he is was down the depth chart this season, look for him to step it up in s21. The Steelhawks goalie, Edwin Ask, has certainly received his fair share of criticism. A talented regular season player, he has never managed to lead the Hawks to the cup. Additionally, he has stopped showing up to practices for some time now. Midway through the season, Arthur Grosberg was acquired from the Rage. One of the only bright spots on a very, very poor Manhattan squad, Grosberg immediately slid into a top 6 role in Hamilton.

Task 5:
For me, the Hamilton Steelhawks’ most valuable player in the S20 playoffs has been their captain, Joe McKeil. He is the best player in the league, and has been the Steelhawks MVP for a very long time. These playoffs are not any different. He is second on the team in points, with 11 points in 14 games, only behind fellow German David Winter. His 47 hits are good for second in the league. He plays in all situations for his team. A goal down, a goal up, even on the power play or on the penalty kill. The Hawks coach knows McKeil can be relied on, and he is. He plays on average just below 23 minutes a game, but his endurance keeps him from getting tired.

With Mckeil being such an amazing offensive player, probably one of the best players to ever play in the SHL, his defensive game is often overlooked. It has shined in these playoffs. Even though he may be getting up there in age, his skills have yet to diminish. One of the best face off men in the league, he is the Hawks go to guy for any crucial faceoffs. He is just one of those players that can do it all. He could probably score a lot more points, but he plays a team game and commits to helping defend. This sort of mentality is crucial to any team looking to win the cup.
McKeil also brings intangibles to the team. One of only two remaining members from that S11 Challenge Cup winning team, McKeil knows what it takes to win it all. He is one of the oldest players left in the league and his years of service have gained him a lot of experience. In fact, I am pretty sure he has never missed the playoffs in his career, a truly remarkable feat. The captain of the team, he is a leader both on and off the ice. Without Mckeil, who has been in Hamilton since the start of the glory days, the Steelhawks would have fallen into mediocrity a long time ago.

Task 6:
Every year, we talk about the Mckeils and the Partlows that lead your team to victory. While these MVP players are indeed important to a team, people often forget that hockey is a team game, and everyone has to contribute to win a Challenge Cup. One overlooked player is Roman Schultz of the Hamilton Steelhawks. One wouldn't usually use the word "underrated" to describe Schultz, but he has been this postseason. Fellow dmen such as Cant and Sto Helit have played very well, and might have outshone Schultz. This is his last season, and he has been his usual dependable self. Never the most offensively gifted player, Schultz has made a career of being a smart and intelligent defenseman. In these playoffs, Schultz has been playing a tad under 25 minutes per game, second on the team behind forward Ivo Willems. One would expect that at his age, he would not be able to play such minutes on a day to day basis, but Schultz never seems to tire. He keeps his body in tip top shape and is still able to compete physically with younger opponents. While he isnt the biggest hitter, his 25 hits in 14 games is a very respectable tally. On top of that, he has 8 points, all the while playing against the opposition's top players. He is also a crucial part to the Hamilton powerplay. Along with Cant, he has logged more minutes than anyone else on the man advantage. The Steelhawks powerplay is operating at a rate of 23% which is exceptional. Of course, as a defenseman, he also plays on the penalty kill. As mentioned above, Schultz is one of two remaining members from the S11 Steelhawks team that won it all. Depsite having a long and succesful career, he has never won any major trophies, and that is fine with him. Perhaps if Chris Partlow and Darian Scherbluk did not exist, he would have won a couple of Stevens trophies. Anyways, through his career, Roman Schultz has been a great defender whose talents are often underrated. That is once again the case in these season 20 SHL playoffs.

Task 7:
Hey. Do you want to win? Do you want to win? Well, you better go out there and fucking win. You've dreamed of this moment your entire lives. Don't waste it. Go out and play the way we play. Fast. Skilled. Physical. Smart. Play hard, play dirty, do whatever you can to win. You got that? Now everyone look at Schultz. Good. That is the last time you will ever see him there. You better not let him down. Think of all the fame we would get. There have been so many excellent Steelhawks teams over the years, but only the S11 Hawks won it all. I know we are better than that squad. Let us go out there and show the world what we can do.

1. Done

2.

This Took a while, notice the ice is Renegades home ice.

3.

4. For this point task, I am asked to look at just one team, and explain what led them to the playoffs, so I am going to pick the Texas Renegades. First thing we are going to look at is how they went from not even making the playoffs, to being second in their conference. The main thing that was the result of them missing the playoffs was them playing in the stacked Western conference. Texas was scrambling because they had several star players saying they would give them one more season and if they missed the playoffs, they would have to part ways with the Renegades. Then this season came around, and they had an impressive record of 33 wins, 14 loses, and 3 overtime loses making them end with 69 points. This has to prove to players that the season prior was just a fluke. Now, we will look at a key trade that helped get them over the edge. This trade would be Zanis Zarins, season 21 third round pick and season 23 second round pick traded to the Winnipeg Jets for the star forward Maxim Horvat. Horvat was a very key piece to the Renegades as he already just won a cup the previous year with the Winnipeg Jets. His leadership, and his experience only helped lead the Renegades to where they are now. Now looking at individual success, you have to look at their long time star defender Chris Partlow. He stuck to what he knew, and that was dominating the league in almost every category as a defender. You also have to look at the man who was in net this season for the Texas Renegades, that man is Jordin Fourfour and he had a career season. He led the league in almost every single category as a goalie, but looking back at Chris Partlow, if the Renegades didn't have him, Jordin Fourfour wouldn't have had nearly the season that he had. Lastly, they also wouldn't have gotten here without their star forward Jordan Hall, who had a very impressive season, and so far has had an impressive post season.

355 WORDS

5. When looking at both of these teams, you see a bunch of talented individuals. The first thing I look at for both teams is WHO would be the most missed if they were injured or suspended. For the Steelhawks, I am mainly looking at their two forwards Joe McKeil and David Winter. Joe McKeil was the heart and soul of the forwards this regular season for the Steelhawks. He had a very impressive 60 points in a total of 50 games played. The great thing about Joe McKeil though was he played to his best abilities on both ends of the ice, and ended fifth in the league for hits. David Winter has been the heart and soul these playoffs though for the Steelhawks. He is playing amazing playoff hockey, and he is the reason the Steelhawks have reached the cup finals. Both are key pieces to the Steelhawks, and both are deserving of winning the cup this season.

Now when looking at the Renegades, you see more of a "team" effort, and you can list many people as their "most valuable player". In the regular season, there is a clear cut player that was the reason the Renegades did so well, and that is Jordin Fourfour. Jordin Fourfour not only led the league in goals against average, he also led in save percentage and even in the shutout column. If I had to pick a close second for the regular season, it would probably be Chris Partlow, as a defenseman he carried himself greatly throughout the season. Now for the playoff most valuable player would have to be Chris Partlow, who is leading all defenseman with 13 points in just 11 games. He is averaging more than a point per game, which is incredible for playoff hockey. Now, I can't just ignore the fact of that Chico Salmon, Shawn Velevra and Jordin Fourfour all are playing great playoff hockey and they are all deserving of being called their teams most valuable player. In the end if the Renegades do win it all, it is purely because the team is connecting on all cylinders.

354 WORDS

6. This one was easily the hardest to think of, and especially for the word count, but in the end, I think I came up with a few good candidates for the "most underrated player" of their teams. When looking at the Texas Renegades, my mind automatically goes to Chico Salmon. Yes, I truly think that the former first overall selection doesn't get looked at in the way he deserves. He not only put up the good numbers, but he is easily one of the best leaders that the league has right now. Without Salmon, their forward core may be a mess, so it is a good thing he is there. Next I would have to say that Maxim Horvat needs much more attention. There is a reason that the Texas Renegades pushed for the man, and ended up trading for him. His playoff experience, actually just his experience all around is something that will help any team. He is also a former first overall pick, so you could just say that the Renegades aren't giving enough recognition to their former star prospects. For Hamilton I will have to go with the leader of the squad, Roman Schultz. He is the bloodline of the group. He just recently stated at the beginning of the season that this was his last season in the SHL, and the Steelhawks are trying to give him a cup before he fully retires. If they can manage to do that, I think that will give Schultz his one last push into the SHL hall of fame. His leadership will be truly missed by the Steelhawks, and not to mention his love and drive for the game at the defensive position. If I had to go with one more player, it would probably be their all star forward James Blaine who is not only the general manager of the squad, but also a very important leader on the ice. Without James Blaine, just like the Renegades without Chico Salmon, the Hamilton Steelhawks would be skating around like chickens with their heads cut off. Both teams have a lot of unmentioned talent, so it isn't the easiest to pin point the best player.

7. Alright boys, please gather around, I have a few words I would like to say before we step on the ice. First off, I want to just say how proud I am of all of you, and no matter what happens today, you're all looked at as family in my eyes. Secondly, we have worked so damn hard to get here, and it is now time to FINISH it with a bang. We need to go out there and play like our lives depend on it. I know we have the better team, but now we just need to go out and prove it on the ice. If we don't win, which isn't even a concern of mine, just know we are still the better men out there on the ice. I couldn't pick a better group of men to go through this with, and I appreciate everything you guys have done for me this season. Now, let's go and finish them off! On three! One! Two! Three! Go Gades!

Task 4:

The Texas Renegades were widely considered to be a lock for the S20 playoffs going into the season. They started the season off fairly well, winning 10 of their first 16 games. Although there wasn't much need for changes to be made, their GMs felt they needed to add another proven winner to the squad to give them that added experience and leadership. When S19 Challenge Cup champion Maxim Horvat began available, they pounced on the opportunity. Horvat was dealt from the defending Cup Champion Winnipeg Jets to the Texas Renegades. Going back to Winnipeg was stout defenseman Zanis Zarins and 2 draft picks. Although Zarins was an integral part of the Renegades core, Horvat was a more experienced player and a proven winner. With heavy hearts they shipping Zarins off to Winnipeg and wished him the best of luck. With Horvat being a center in Winnipeg, the trade left a gaping hole in the Renegades defense as they only carried 4 before the trade. They needed someone to step up and carry Xavier Gauthier, arguably the worst defenseman in the Simulation Hockey League. Being the team first player that Horvat is, he agreed to switch from center to defense, a position he had never played before. Early on playing his new position, Horvat struggled. "It will take some time for him to adapt to his new position. I mean we asked a guy who played center his entire life not to move to the wing, but to defense. Thats gotta be one of the toughest position switches I've ever seen a player make. It takes time," said coach DP. Not long after, Horvat took off. In the final half of his Renegade season, Horvat was almost a point per game defenseman, while holding his own in the defensive end. That kind of play carried over into the playoffs and he ones of the more underrated reasons why the Texas Renegades are where they are. Horvat had to deal with changes cities, changing positions, and then to top it off, he had to play with Xavier fucking Gauthier. Its a miracle what Horvat did this season, but if anyone could have pulled it off, it was him.

Task 5:

Maybe it's too easy to just look at the points to determine the Playoff MVP, but there is just no way around Chris Partlow when looking at the player who had the most impact for his team this postseason. The offensive defenseman has been one of the best in his position for years now and after a bit of a down year last season, he came back with a force in S20. Once again Partlow led all league defensemen in scoring in the regular season, like he had done so many times before, putting up 47 points while also improving his defensive performances significantly. He followed up this impressive campaign by being even better in the playoffs, where he currently doesn't just lead the Defensemen, but all players in points scored with 13 in 11 games. His Texas Renegades have played more games than any other teams so far this postseason, but it's still a very impressive accomplishment by the veteran defenseman, whose +9 rating also is the best in the league. On a team that features other superstars such as Jordin FourFour, Jordan Hall or Shawn Velevra, Partlow currently is the most important player and the MVP not just because of his play on the ice, but because of his veteran presence and leadership as well.

On top of his impressive performances this season, Partlow also is the second highest scoring defenseman in SHL-history. His 438 points are good for second only behind Darian Scherbluk, another gread old blueliner that is still playing. If he keeps playing like he is right now, and there certainly are no signs of him slowing down, Partlow could break into the all-time top-20 next season and it only seems like a matter of time until he breaks 500 points. But this certainly isn't something Partlow is thinking about right now, as he is currently in the cup finals and has the chance to win it all with his Texas Renegades, after knocking off the LA Panthers in the first round and the Seattle Riot in the conference finals. Will Chris Partlow still be the MVP when all is said and done? We don't know, with a team as star-filled as the Renegades everything can happen, but right now there is nobody that has been better in these playoffs so far!

Task 6:

David Winter is the Unsung Hero of the Hamilton Steelhawks. He had a pretty lackluster season in S19 and I think that makes people forget about him but his dedication to training is very evident as he sits at over 1130 TPE. He is a great locker room presence and a good member of the SHL in general. He plays second line center behind the always superb Joe McKeil but is no slouch at the position and he is an elite center that could be a first on Hamilton but is a certified first liner on any other team in the league. His regular season play was outstanding as he put up almost a point per game numbers finishing the season with 24 goals and 23 assists for 47 points which were good for third on the team behind only top liners McKeil and Ivo Willems. His 177 shots taken was second behind only McKeil, ahead of Willems by two who had 175, and his +19 rating was amongst the best on the team as well. He wasn't afraid to throw the body around as he amassed 149 hits in the regular season, behind only McKeil and Jareth Sto Helit as he beat out Roman Schultz and the rest of the Steelhawk defenders and even their checking line players. His only short coming on the stat sheet was his 8 shot blocks but as a second line player that's forgivable. He found another gear in the post season as after the first two rounds he's the Steelhawks' leading scorer with 5 goals and 7 assists for 12 points in only 9 games. A +5 with 33 hits and 2 shot blocks is putting him up there for playoff MVP contention but he's overshadowed by Jordin Fourfour and the plethora of stud forwards the Renegades ice, not to mention Edwin Ask who had a spectacular first two rounds going 8-1 with a 1.48 GAA and posting a .939 save percentage with a shutout, but in the end I think he's overlooked on this all-star Hamilton roster for a player who is one of the elite in the league.

4The Hamilton Steel hawks are easily the favored team to win the finals. They were back to back President trophy Champs a few seasons back and are one of the best teams in the league. Going in to the playoffs, Hamilton scored an amazing record of 35 wins to 13 losses with a win percentage of .72, the top in the league. Only rivaled by the Riot. The Steel hawks have 3 of the top 5 goalscorers in the league. Joe McKeil with 25 goals, David Winter with 24 goals and our trade from Manhattan Arthur Grosberg with 23 goals. Ham also has 3 of the top 5 assist leaders in the league. Joe McKeil with 35 assists, Ivo Willems with 32 assists and Jareth Sto Helit with 32 assists as well. Hamilton had pretty good trades throughout the year. Hamilton received Arthurs Grosberg, who was instrumental to their success, from Manhattan, and a s22 2nd. This trade added to Hamiltons already insane depth of players, and the pick will ensure that Hamilton stays good. They got Serpe and O.J simpson from Edmonton, making the team defensively scary. Last but not least Minnesota traded away a sure-to-be first liner on the Chiefs Jacob Cunningham to Hamilton. Which won't have a large impact this season, but in the coming seasons, the rookie will shine (I'm 95.4 percent sure he will). The Renegades were a surprise this season. I don't think many people expected them to be as good as they are. However, with amazing players like Four Four and Hall they're a stellar team. Four Four being there star. He's a complete beast at the top of the leader board with a .925 save percentage and six shutouts, while Ask only has a .907 and is second in shutouts with five. Overall Hamilton is an unstoppable train of power. Amazing offensive and defensive depth contribute to the overall franchises success. I don't think the franchise is going to fail anytime soon. With leaders like Banackock (Magnus Jakobsen) and LVShark (James Blaine) the Steelhawks are going to be successful for a long time. And will undoubtedly have a few more titles under their belt before the start to slow down.
(370 words)
5. While the Texas Renegades (Often referred to as the Rene-Gods) have a nearly unstoppable team with players like Jordan Hall and Jim Lahey, The main source of Texas's success is their star Goalie. Jordin Four Four. Four Four(Who will be referred to as 4 4) Is easily the greatest goalie in the League, and probably one of the best in SHL history. This guy is a monster. He's a complete beast at the top of the leader board with a .925 save percentage and six shutouts, and faced 1169 shots. He is an absolute baller. Where he shined was in the playoffs. He saved 40 on 41 shots vs the best offense in the league, the Hamilton Steel Hawks. THAT'S A .976 AVERAGE. MIEN GOT. The Renegades were completely outplayed in shots, but 4 4 was able to completely stop Hamilton. It seems like 4 4 can't get any better, but somehow ever year he does. 4 4 Isn't just a good player on the Ice, He's also a great guy in general. Whenever the Renegades are down after a loss, which isn't often, Four Four is able to bring their spirits up and helps them to play even better the next game. He deserves every single bit of acclaim he gets. He consistently goes out onto the ice and plays his best. No matter who he goes up against he succeeds. Without 4 4 I'm not sure where the Renegades would be. Definitely not in the finals, that's for sure. If Four Four does not win MVP, It would be an immense upset. No one deserves MVP over 4 4. With 4 4 on the Ice, Texas is a force to be reckoned with. It's a good thing that Texas is going to be able to keep him for at least the next few years. In conclusion Jordin Four Four is an unstoppable beast. Every year he's able to get better and better. He is easily the best goalie in the league and deserves MVP(every year). Without him on the team, the Renegades wouldn't be where they are today.

7. Alright Team, we have played really hard this season. We've played out of our minds this whole season to get to this point. We did not try this hard to come in and lose. We didn't dominate every other team in our division to lose out to -Insert team here-. We're better than them in every single way! I know they're tough. I know they finished with a better record than us. However, we've gone up against them before, and we won. We came out here to win. We came out here to hold the cup in our hands and feel the joy of winning. We can beat them guys, and if you give 110 percent, we will. So come on guys. Let's win this.

Task 1: in 6 games

Task 2:

Task 3:

Task 4: Everyone in their right mind knew that Texas would be a contender this year. They make the playoffs as consistently as any other club in the league right now and they have a tight roster that plays their heart out every night. Jordin FourFour, Chris Partlow, Mikhail Krikokrasov, Jim Lahey and Alexandre Daigle are just a few names that pop out when you look at the roster, but what got Texas to the point that they're at is depth. On top of the aforementioned players there are even more players who can contribute. Putting out four scoring lines and three strong defensive pairings in front of one of the best goaltenders in the league is definitely one of the reasons why the Renegades do so well.

However, even with the strength the team had they still felt they needed another push of activity to push them into elite status. When the Winnipeg Jets decided to start shopping Max Horvat, the Texas Renegades knew they had the guy they needed. Max didn't have the success that was expected as a first overall pick. Sometimes invisible, sometimes on fire, some were beginning to wonder if he had what it takes to be a full time SHL player. Included with this was the pressure of the second overall pick Azriel Stryfe quickly becoming an elite SHL player. But when the news was broken that Max Horvat had been dealt to the Renegades, it seemed to breathe life into a downward spiral career and made Texas even better; even when they were already a premiere team in the league.

And finally, after their depth and their acquisitions there lies one of the main reasons why Texas made it here; their activity. Almost all of their depth players along with their superstars are active in the locker room. When you have a team full of activity, you're constantly getting better as the players are around to train and complete point tasks. If you look at other squads who use high TPE inactives or inactive depth players, those players are either staying the same or regressing every year. So not only was Texas brought to the finals this year, it's completely possible that a lot of their players could be even better by this time next year. [381 Words]

Task 5: If I had to pick my MVP of the playoffs, it would be a very close call. While on one hand Jordin FourFour has been an absolute tank for the Texas Renegades, a league veteran in Chris Partlow has amazed an astounding 14 points in 11 games as a defenseman. FourFour's numbers are nothing to be scoffed at, however, Partlow's just outshine all other accomplishments so far. Now, great numbers are expected from both these players who are among the all-stars of their team, but Partlow has gone above and beyond his high expectations in order to secure my MVP vote.

Nobody has more pressure on his shoulders then Chris Partlow. A veteran leader of the club, a proven winner and a clutch performer is expected to do everything necessary to ensure his team's success. What it boils down to for me is the question, which of FourFour and Partlow could be replaced by another player in the lague and the team still have success? A tough one to answer, no doubt. However, in my unbiased opinion (I like both these guys and have no quarrel with either) Partlow is by a small amount, the more irreplaceable of the two.

For the sake of argument, however, FourFour is one of the premier goaltenders in this league and he could very likely win the playoff MVP award if the Renegades up-end the Steelhawks in the finals. But with such a good squad with players like Jim Lahey, Maxim Horvat, Alex Partlow, Lionel Byrde and Krikokrasov (among so many more), it could also be argued that the team surrounding Jordin FourFour is at least partially responsible for the success he's been having. As a former goaltender in the league, I know what it's like to have a strong team ahead of you as Sterling Slade did when he won the John McBride trophy as the best goaltender in the league, and I know how much of a difference an excellent defender can be to any team. Manhattan wouldn't have been half as strong a team without Darian Scherbluk, but could've found success with another goaltender then Slade. That is why my MVP choice is Chris Partlow. [364 Words]

Task 6: If I had to pick an under rated stud in the SHL Finals, I would have to go with the bust; Alexandre Daigle. While everyone watches the games to see the all-stars like Jordan Hall and Chris Partlow score goals and make plays, a lot of people don't respect the aspect of the game that Alexandre Daigle brings to the table. While he isn't going to lead the league in any stat at any time, he consistently brings a hard work ethic to the table. One of the top on his team in points and hits, Alexandre is willing to do what most other forwards put on the back burner; play defensively sound hockey.

While Daigle gets a ton of flack for the mediocre playing ability expected from someone of his reputation, his numbers are not horrible when placed alongside of some of the players in the league who do the same job. And Daigle is also as active as any other player around. He trains hard, he's a locker room presence and he is always around to support his team and teammates. While some may think that the weight his name carries is only that of his own demise, the Texas Renegades have found a way to turn Daigle into one of the leagues best depth players; a position that has no doubt helped them to where they are today.

When I was general manager of the Manhattan Rage, I knew that Alexandre Daigle had a lot of potential. If he put the work into himself that everyone knew he had the will to do, he could be a very successful SHL player. However, he got a little bit lazy and a little out of shape on the training side, but seemed to find new life in Texas alongside their star studded cast. I don't know what is in the water in Texas, but they seem to have a knack for taking under-performing players and making them into efficient depth hockey players. It's hard to say whether Texas truly benefited from the play of Daigle through the season and playoffs, but the team would say they did and so would he so I guess there's no evidence that he didn't. [371 Words]

Task 7: This is it, boys; it's now or never. I've never been one for big speeches or hoorah moments but our time is now. We've played our hearts out to get to this moment and we're not gonna let these motherfuckers take this from us! We've come this far and we won't just lie down and die! Rocky Balboa once said a line that stuck with me my whole career and I'm gonna lay it on you boys right now. "Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!" [170 Words]

--- Road to the Cup

The Hamilton Steelhawks from the start of the playoffs were the heavy favorites to win the cup. With a league leading 35 wins and a highest goal differential of +53, things in Hamilton have been clicking together very well.

The Steelhawks are led by the captain "Jumbo" Joe McKeil. Joe led the league in goals and plus minus, and was a top ten performer in assists, shots, points per twenty minutes, face off percentage, hits, and game winning goals. He even managed to get a nice hat trick. Without a doubt, Joe was the reason Hamilton is where they are today.

In net, Edwin Ask has provided a great defensive presence despite the lack of work ethic. Ask is near the end of his career, but he is still able to provide enough support for this Steelhawks team to destroy the competition. In the draft, they drafted Jakob Tanner from Montreal, who was arguably the better of the three big rookie goalies. Some unjust controversy about allowing Jakob to play in both Hamilton and Montreal forced Tanner to move up to Hamilton before he really wanted to.

On defense, the top pair of Sto Helit and Cant are hard to judge how good they are. But looking at the numbers, Sto Helit is obviously the pure defensive brute with 158 hits and 65 blocked shots, while Cant provides offensive help by taking most of the shots. Together they scored an impressive 21 goals and 60 assists.

The first round of the playoffs faced off against a rising West Kendall team. A very young team with the rookies dominating the charts, they had a very uphill battle to climb to challenge Hamilton. The Steelhawks ending up sweeping the series four to none, but that included two games decided by one goal, one that was clinched in the last two minutes of the game, and the final double overtime winner.

The second round of the playoffs faced off against another team rich with rookies, but had some great veteran support. New England was able to battle, but Hamilton had a better time scoring goals against the wolfpack. Hamilton would finally lose their first game of the playoffs, but that would be the only loss as they finsih the series four to one.

--- MVP of the Playoffs

The Hamilton Steelhawks are an amazing team with great talents at each end of the ice. With a supreme defense in Sto Helit and Cant, and consistent wall of a goalie in Ask, and an amazing depth of forwards to score all the time. But when you think of the Steelhawks, and you think about how do you beat the Steelhawks, there is only one person you really think about. Joe McKeil is obviously the head honcho in Hamilton, and he makes his presence known.

It's actually easy too look past Joe as the MVP of the playoffs. Joe only recorded two assists in round one against West Kendall, and four assists in round two against New England. He has actually yet to score a goal yet, despite leading the regular season in goals. It appears as if he is actually being shut down. But is he really being denied?

His team is 8-1 going into the finals. Round one was great with defense, but not so much in round two. By just being on the ice, opposing teams are having to struggle to decide who to put on the ice to combat him. Whenever Joe is on the ice, the other team will undoubtedly put their strongest bodies on the ice to do whatever they can to bring him down. It's like in football when you have a monster of a player on the field, the defense is going to double cover that player to minimize his damange. But in doing so, they've opened up the rest of the play area for the other players. And in hockey, when you're leaving names like Winter, Cant, and company wide open you're going to get burned.

After both series were done, there were questions about both sides of the ice. While they were dominant against WKP, they stuggled against NEW. And while the offense was great against NEW, it was hard to find the net against WKP. The only factor that stayed the same both times: Joe McKeil. Without him, their team would not be consistant enough to make it to where they are today.

--- Underrated Stud

Big names out there for Hamilton as they are a squad full of elite players that make most of the league tremble in fear. Names like Joe McKeil, Edwin Ask, Arthur Grosberg, Brandon Cant, David Winter, an Sto Helit are household names. However, one player making his name up to the heavy hitting players is Friedrich Muller. Muller is going to be a top name defender in the SHL for seasons to come. Drafted fourth overall by Hamilton this season, Muller has a case for rookie of the year. While his team ahead of him is putting up the big numbers, Muller is in the background helping out in ways nobody seems to notice. Muller was one of the top ten players in the regular season with plus 20 in the plus minus column. Muller still managed to put up 16 points in the regular season, despite playing behind superstars. Muller helps his team greatly by providing an offensive threat while staying out of the penalty box. He's not going to hit anybody any time soon, but he helps quarterback plays for his team. Even though he's a big smelly buttface, he's still a great member to the team who helps out things league wide and is well appreciated throughout the site. His podcasts are usually very entertaining and there's nothing but great respect for such a great member of the community. Even though Hamilton will be without certain powers next season, they will look for this guy to step up and fill the big shoes left behind by Cant. What else is there really to say about this guy. In the community he is one of the most outspoken guys out there, but in the league he is the equivalent to a silent but deadly fart. He sneaks up on you when you least expect it, and hits you hard. He sometimes brings candy to the locker room, but I think that's just an attempt to fatten up the competition so that he can get some playing time. Just don't call him Miller, or else you'll end up making him so angry that he makes Miller play his position on the line up in spite.

Task 2: - Completed



Task 3: - Completed



Task 4: - Completed

When Hamilton started the season with a 2-0 shut-out over West Kendall, most racked it up to Ask getting plenty of off-season rest. But many Steelhawk fans and analysts saw that this great group of players would go on to do great things! Joe McKeil led the way for this team offensively, taking the rest of the league with him in his quest for 25 goals and the regular season scoring championship! His 60 point regular season, combined with Ivo Willems' 50 points and David Winter's 47, gave Hamilton great momentum running into the playoffs! The offensive in the regular season was padded by some superb defense, with Hamilton taking all 5 spots on the top 5 +/- standings for the regular season, McKeil's decisive hits, and Edwin Ask in the top 10 in most major goalie stats! This Steelhawks roster was further bolstered by a trade for soon-to-be-former defender OJ Simpson, an elite veteran defender who would provide some great assistance down the road to the Challenge Cup!

While it was all McKeil in the regular season, David Winter stepped up his game in the playoffs, soaring high on both sides of the puck, leading the team in points and hits! Ask has been performing well, only giving up 1.48 GAA with a 94% save percentage! On the road through the playoff landscape, Hamilton has had to face 2 really good contenders to get to the big show this week!
First up, they faced an underdog West Kendall, looking to upset the Steelhawks early! After 2 easy home game victories, each tallying up 2-1 Steelhawks, the Platoon came to South Beach looking to strike down Hamilton on the road. To their misfortune, they dropped the series home opener 4-2 and were facing an impressive 3-0 Steelhawk advantage! They wouldn't give up eithout a fight, taking Hamilton to OT in Game 4, but that was as far as they would get, with Hamilton scoring the fatal goal for the Platoon. Hamilton moves on!

Next opponent wasn't going to be swept so easily, as the New England Wolfpack came knocking on upset door! The Wolves were shut out, however, in the first game in Hamilton, were beaten by 3 the second night in Steelhawk territory, and were looking like they would be swept in 4! But Game 3, although a loss, showed that New England was getting tougher, putting up 2 goals on Ask and looking to use the crowd to their advantage. Finally, Game 4 had things going the Wolfpack's way, with a solid 2-goal win over their visiting Steelhawks! But it looked as though home-field advantage would work against New England, as Hamilton rolled over the hungry Wolfpack 6-2 in a decisive series ender! Hamilton has made it all the way!

Task 5: - Completed

Without a doubt, the Steelhawks would not be in the Finals without lead center David Winter. Now, I know he isn't the starting center, that's not why I called him the lead. He's been the lead center in the playoffs because, no matter where he was on the ice, no matter what period, what stadium, what time zone, Winters was producing. He was benefiting his team, and he was giving others the chance to produce! Quick summary of his playoff run so far: In the 9 games Hamilton played prior to the Challenge Cup Finals, Winters has scored 5 goals on his way to leading his teammates with 12 points, leading both goals and assists categories, laid on 33 hits (almost 4 per game!, shot a very accurate 15% goal rate, 4 powerplay assists, 2 shorties, and 51% faceoff percentage! That's one balanced, superior stat line! Let's see how he accumulated these stellar stats!

Series 1 was against an underdog West Kendall Platoon, and Winter started slow with only 1 assist in the 1st game. But Winter stepped up his activity, registering another assist and 5 hits in the next outing! He only improved, exploding in Game 3 for 3 points and 8 HITS and 4 more hits in the decisive Game 4! Great first series by a non-1st-liner!

Series 2 was more challenging facing the New England Wolfpack, but Winter held strong! Game 1 was quiet, but Winters still contributed 1 assist and 5 hits in the home victory! Game 2 was more powerful with the 3 goal win, one of those goals provided by Winter! Game 3 would be no different, with Winter providing 2 great assists and 3 solid checks to help Hamilton jump to a 3-0 lead in the series! Game 4 was their only loss of the playoffs, but Winter didn't notice, giving 2 more hits in the losing affair! He helped Hamilton secure the series in Game 5, though, with another explosive 3 point night, contributing 2 goals and adding a 3rd with a pass, not to mention 2 big hits!

Without this effort, Hamilton isn't advancing. Winter carried this team through the playoffs, look for more in the Finals!

Task 6: - Completed

The overlooked man behind the team this playoffs for Hamilton was, undoubtedly, the goaltender, the great Edwin Ask! Ask has been sensational between the pipes for a more offensively-inclined Steelhawks squad, racking up a 93.9% Save percentage, 1.48 GAA, 8 wins (good for 2 series wins), and 1 shutout on 231 shots blasted his direction! As these numbers are impressive on their own, Ask is currently leading the SHL in GAA, 2nd in Save %, and leading all goalies with 2 assists (while also having more points than 58 active skaters who participated in the playoffs)! Let's see what this great defensive mind has been producing as each series unfolded!

Ask started the WKP series off on the right foot by closing the door in the final moments of Game 1 for the win!

SAVED BY ASK!!!

HAMILTON WINS GAME 1!

[/b]

Game 2 was a great follow-up performance with Ask earning the 1st star of the game off a 94.4% save percentage on 18 shots, only allowing 1 goal on the powerplay late in the game! Game 3 would prove no different, as Ask had another 94% save percentage night, but was facing more shots as WKP got 2 past the goaltender off good shots by Bojo Biscuit and Zallerras Szlerchek. Luckily, his team's offensive flash gave him his 3rd straight win in the series 4-2, heading to a series-clinching Game 4 in South Beach! And it was on the beachside in a clutch Game 4 that Ask had to be mentally and physically prepared for! After letting 2 past him in regulation, Ask used almost every part of his body to stop pucks in the 2OT thriller that gave Hamilton the series win! Another great night of 94.6% Save Percentage on a gruesome 37 shots!

New England was going to be a tough matchup, with Ask riding a 4 game win streak, but he proved his worth with another 1st Star performance in a Game 1 3-0 SHUTOUT of the Wolfpack off 20 shots! Wow, what a way to start a series! Game 2 against the Yankees saw Ask go up against a tough 21 shots in another great game! hamilton was able to outperform the Wolfpack defense, and Ask stood tall for a 95.6% Save Percentage as Hamilton took a 2 game lead in the series with a 4-1 win! Ask is riding a 6 game winning streak, will it ever end? Not in Game 3, where, despite Ask letting by 2 goals, one late in the game off the powerplay, Ask did show great skill in preserving the lead!
<!--QuoteBegin-jaladolar@Nov 2 2014, 09:55 PM
O'Cally gets the puck in the slot and shoots!

ASK WITH THE AMAZING PAD SAVE! He denies the Wolfpack yet again![/quote]
Game 4, 7 game win streak, is it the end for Ask and the Steelhawks momentum? The winning streak ends, but the dream's still alive with a hearty 3-1 lead in the series! maybe the length is getting to Ask, he only stopped 90% of what came at him, letting New England run away 3-1. But Game 5 is elimination on home ice, Ask has dominated at home! He doesn't even need to try, as the offense racks up 6 GOALS against Tennyson, letting Ask's 2 mistakes in the game seem irrelevant! Hamilton takes the series with an impressive 6-2 victory over New England!

Without Ask's play during the bulk of the playoffs, Hamilton's offense would have had to work harder to outshoot the competition, but Ask's key saves early made games easy to win, making him the underrated MVP of the Steelhawks this season!

We have one more period to go. Nothing more, nothing less. When we walked out on that ice tonight, we knew we needed a win, we knew it would take every ounce in our bodies to SKATE WITH THE OTHER TEAM AND BEAT THEM! We have done one part of that so far. Now, we have another chance to complete this and go home CHAMPIONS! Every person in this locker room, from the backup goalie, to our stars on the 1st line, was born for this moment right here, right now. The name on the front is what's on the line tonight, not the one on the back. And we have 1 chance, 1 opportunity, to win this. It's just like we started the night, everything's tied. Let's break the tie. Let's win it all! LET'S GO OUT THERE AND LEAVE EVERYTHING ON THE ICE, BECAUSE IF WE DO THAT, WE WILL WIN! LET'S GO!

Task 3 (Poster):



Task 4 (Road to the Cup): 423 Words

Hamilton - a team used to this familiar setting, their 2nd straight appearance the Challenge Cup Final and it's certainly no fluke. They boast a core that can stack up against any team in the league, especially showcasing that in their 2nd straight season as the #1 seeded SHL team, and this core between this season and last has for the most part remained relatively unchanged. Besides adding prized rookie Friedrich Muller at the 4th Overall pick in the S20 Draft, really all that has changed for this core of players has been the stakes. Roman Schultz, a mainstay on the blue line of Hamilton and a likely future Hall of Famer, announced his plans of retirement this past offseason after an illustrious career. Same is the story of another Hamilton defenseman - Jareth Sto Helit, who will retire following the S20 campaign to pursue starting a family. With pieces of their stacked core starting to fall to the wayside and quickly approaching a time of transition, the importance of getting the job done in S20 has been potent this season's opening puck drop, and this team seems determined to claim what they feel is rightfully there's. As mentioned earlier, the Steelhawks were an absolute force in the S20 regular season, posting a phenomenal record of 35-13-2 for 1st in the entire league, and their dominance has continued into these playoffs. Led by, as it has been for so long, their stars Joe McKeil, David Winters, and Ivo Willems, Hamilton has cruised through the 1st two rounds en route to the Final, starting with their 1st Round matchup - the West Kendall Platoon. West Kendall, a very young, wide-eyed team with many rookies getting their first taste of the big show, but they were taught their lesson in a big way of what it takes to win. The Hamilton Steelhawks took it to the South Florida based hockey club, absolutely overpowering the Platoon en route to a 4-0 sweep, a series in which the outcome was never really in doubt. Moving right into Round 2, the test in theory became much more challenging, the #3 seeded New England Wolfpack. New England, a team ready to prove their potency after acquiring star wingers Phil Schenn and Benjamin Wong, faced a similar fate to the young Platoon. Hamilton again, just utterly dominated their opposition, and were able to wrap up the series in 5 easy games, punching their ticket to these Challenge Cup Finals where they will face easily their toughest test, a Western powerhouse - the Texas Renegades.

Task 5 (MVP of the Playoffs): 392 Words

The importance of a goaltender to any good team cannot be understated, as I recall one of the great statements of the game of hockey is, "If you're missing your goaltender, you're missing 100% of your team." Just look back at some of the all-time greats, Fernando Garcia in West Kendall, Mike Honcho in Edmonton, John McBride in Winnipeg, it's so easy to argue that without these goaltenders, those historic SHL teams do not win the cups that they won. The player I would of course like to discuss as MVP of the SHL Challenge Cup Playoffs, is Texas Renegades star goaltender Jordin Fourfour. Fourfour has been nothing short of a revelation for Texas this, everyone knew this guy was good, one of the Top 5 goaltenders in the league no doubt, but I don't think anyone expected performances of this caliber from the seasoned SHL goaltender. Fourfour had a great regular season, he posted a record of 27-14-3, helping his team capture the #2 seed in the Western Conference with an overall record of 33-14-3, and he also posted staggering numbers in Goals Against Average and Save Percentage, with a GAA of 1.98 and a SV% of .925, as well as putting 6 shutouts, numbers that easily make him a candidate this season for the honor of the top SHL goalie. Moving on to the postseason, Jordin Fourfour has not disappointed whatsoever, truly establishing himself as a big game goaltender that can not only handle but excel in pressure situations. To this point, Jordin Fourfour has been the only goaltender used in the postseason for Texas, as he's played all 11 games en route to a 8-3-0 record, and once again his numbers in both Goals Against Average and Save Percentage are just fantastic. Fourfour boasts a SV% of .907 and a GAA of 2.17, as well as posting 1 shutout, you do not want to get behind the Texas Renegades at any point of the game with this guy in between the pipes, and those numbers show exactly why. With the importance he has had to this team as well as his individual performance, Fourfour is joining the class of goalies such as Lauris Prikulis, last year's Playoff MVP, so it's simple to see why Fourfour deserves this honor if his team does indeed capture the Challenge Cup.

Task 6 (Underrated Stud): 387 Words

Among a team packed with stars and potential future Hall of Famers, the Hamilton Steelhawks are a team where it's hard to truly pin a player as "underrated." However, a player that flies somewhat under the radar for this team, at least for the time being, is prized German rookie defenseman, Friedrich Muller. Muller, selected by Hamilton at 4th overall in the S20 Draft, has made an immediate impact playing alongside all-time greats such as Roman Schultz and Jareth Sto-Helit, players who have established themselves as elites at their position and Muller is on the right track to eventually putting himself in that class. Starting with his regular season, playing primarily on the 2nd pairing with Jareth Sto-Helit, Muller put up a decent offensive season with 2 goals and 14 assists for 16 points, but his numbers defensively were nothing short of great. Muller posted a +/- of a +20, which was 5th best among his superstar star, and he was absolute minute muncher, averaging 22:45 in time on ice per game, en route to helped Hamilton to 1st place in the entire league with a 35-13-2 record. Now, on to the most immediate with his performance in these S20 Challenge Cup Playoffs, and Muller has been nothing short of a very solid and capable contributor to his team's blue line. To this point, Hamilton has only lost 1 measly game en route to their 2nd straight Challenge Cup appearance, and you don't get to that point of excellence without everyone pulling on the same rope. Muller has been right there amongst the rest of his teammates putting forth a very good playoff thus far, through 9 games Muller has posted 1 goal and 3 assists for 4 points, and as he so often was in the regular season, has put forth a very solid and capable all-around game. Not only is Muller once again a plus rating just as he was in the regular season, he's a +5 which is tied for 2nd on his team. Furthermore, just showing how trusted of a player he is and the kind of faith he has from the coaching staff, as an 18 year old rookie Freidrich Muller is Hamilton's most used player in Penalty Kill and defensive situations, solidifying himself has a true stud on the Hamilton Steelhawks.

Task 7 (Motivational Speech): 145 Words

Alright boys, this is it, we've played our asses off all season and it all comes down to this. Win or lose, we can hold our heads high, we've represented the state of Texas with nothing but absolute dignity and integrity, but fuck it boys, let's win this thing. We didn't blow by Los Angeles by playing it safe, we didn't make our way past the defending Cup champs by sitting back, and we're sure as hell not going to hold anything back here tonight against Hamilton. One period, one shot, and this game can be ours, play for the crest on the front of your sweater, play for each other, play for the state of Texas, and let's play for our goaltender here so Four doesn't have to break his back carrying our asses here. 20 hard minutes boys, and this championship is ours.

Task 2:

Task 3:

Task 4:
The Hamilton Steelhawks had a tremendous season. All of their players had fantastic years, and they made some genius trades right before the trade deadline. When GMs Banackock and LVShark brought in OJ Simspon and Arthur Grosberg, everybody the the league knew that the Steelhawks were going all in. Cup or bust. They also won their second straight Presidents Trophy, causing the hashtag, #BackToBack, to trend on Twitter (not actually). Superstar centre Joe McKeil had a point per game year, and lead the team in shots. Steelhawks rookie Friedrich Muller had a fantastic rookie season, with 16 points and an astounding +20 plus minus rating. Now to talk about the trades that the Steelhawks made that helped them get to this point. The first big trade that they made was the one when they acquired winger Arthur Grosberg from the Manhattan Rage. Hamilton had to give up their S21 first rounder, S22 second rounder, and inactives Michael Stich and Matej Stransky. In return, they recieved Grosberg, Manhattan's S22 second rounder, and 500k in cap space. Grosberg was top of the league in goals while playing with the Rage. He just couldn't seem to find his stride in the 5 games that he played with Hamilton. The next trade they made was for rookie Jacob Cunningham. The Steelhawks gave up an S21 fifth rounder, an S22 third rounder, and a S23 fourth rounder. Cunningham has proven to be quite willing to improve his skills, and was a great acquisition for the Steelhawks.They also traded for veteran d man OJ Simpson from the Edmonton Blizzard. The Steelhawks had to give up Volker Bayer-Holtby, and a S21 second round pick. OJ racked up 3 assists in 13 games with the Steelhawks and is rumoured to retire soon. In the first round, the Steelhawks got matched up against the young West Kendall Platoon. They swept Bojo Biscuit's team and were on to face the New England Wolfpack in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Wolfpack beat the Steelhawks once, and the Steelhawks went on the face the Texas Renegades in the finals with a 8-1 playoff record.

Task 5:
The MVP of the Hamilton Steelhawks is Joe McKeil. Mr. Kiel lead the league in several categories, and has so many qualities of an MVP, that there is too many for me too lost. But I will list a lot of qualities anyways! No doubt, whatsoever that he is the MVP of the Steelhawks. Anyone on the Steelhawks would agree with me if you asked them! Joe is a super active guy in the LR and has built a monster player, that just absolutely dominates the SHL. Some players that are like the great McKeil are Carter O'Callahan, Alexy Kovalenko, Brandon Donini, Chis McZehrl, and Jordan Hall. But none of those players mentioned rival the sheer personality, drive, determination, or any trait that you can name, of that of Hamilton Steelhawks star Joe McKeil. During the regular season, Joe McKeil accumulated 60 points in 50 games, good for the most points on the powerhouse Hamilton Steelhawks. Being a point per game player in the SHL is an amazing feat! Only one other player in the whole league had a point-per-game season. That is astounding numbers for a player that has just entered regression. He also led the Steelhawks in hits, and shots. Even with 210 shots, Joe McKeil managed to have a great shooting percentage of 11.9%. To have that high of a shooting percentage, with that many shots, is another amazing feat. But the amazing Joe McKeil can do anything! But not just numbers make an MVP. MVPs have to be active in the locker room, and have to be great teammates. Also, Joe is always online. He drops in the Steelhawks locker room a lot, and always has nice things to say about his teammates. If you asked his teammates, they would say that Joe is a strong, dependable, smart, and hard hitting player that has unmatched drive and determination. His love of the game is unrivalled by any person in the league, or in any league for that matter. Sure, english may not be his first language, but he has found a way to connect with every Steelhawk, and for that matter, almost every player in the SHL. The Steelhawks would be nowhere near as good without the great Mr. Joe McKeil.

Task 6:
The most underrated player on the great Hamilton Steelhawks is none other than rookie Friedrich Muller. Friedrich was a highly touted prospect approaching the draft, and was elected at fourth overall by the Steelhawks. After the draft, he was somewhat forgotten, because for the players taken above him being so high profile. Players like Bojo Biscuit, Chuck Goody, and Ben Reid had taken all of the hype of being the top three. Muller was determined to prove that he was worth Hamilton moving up in the draft to select him. In his rookie season, Friedrich Muller put up a respectable 4 goals, 16 assists, for a grand total of 20 points. Those are very good number for a rookie, playing on a stacked team. Friedrich had some great mentors on the Steelhawks to look up to and to learn from. He was playing with veteran Jareth Sto-Helit and Brandon Cant for most of the year and was a fantastic player for the Steelhawks organization. With a lot of Stellhawks players retiring in the coming seaons, such as Roman Schultz, Jareth Sto Helit, and maybe even the great joe McKeil, Muller will be looked upon as a leader of the defensive troops for Hamilton. And Friedrich Muller isn’t just a stud on the ice. He is also an amazing guy off of the ice, in the locker room, and around the league. Fried is very active in the locker room and has countless jobs, meaning that he does not plan on quitting any time soon. With a player like Friedrich Muller on your team, how can you lose? But, he is so underrated that it is almost comical. You don’t hear kids saying “I want to be like Friedrich Muller when I grow up!” You hear more of “I want to be like Joe McKeil,” or “I want to be like David Winter!” No one talks about the fourth overall draft choice, but they will. Trust me on that. In the coming seasons, and for seasons to come, Friedrich Muller of the great Hamilton Steelhawks will be the most talked about player in the SHL.

Task 7:
Alright boys, this is it. We've worked all year for this moment. Countless hours of training workouts, and bag skates. They can't beat us. If we've gotten this far, done this much. We can put in that extra effort and win this game. If you go out there, and collapse. Your team will be proud of you. If you go it there and puke, the fans will cheer for you. You control your destiny. It is ultimately up to you. The pen is in your hand. You finish the story. Now are you ready to go out there? Are you ready to hear the roar of the crowd? Smell the coldness of that ice! Are you ready to lay it out on the line? For what you love? Are you ready? To win? Now let's do this! Overtime baby! Whatever happens though, we are a team. And a team sticks together. No matter the circumstances. Now let's go!
