This season was a definite improvement from the last! This season the Whalers made it into the playoffs unlike my first season. I wracked up 2 goals and 19 assists of the course of the regular season, with an additional 1 goal and 4 assists in the playoffs. I doubled my total points and beyond from last season being 9 points. That’s more than I can ask for. I also doubled my whale points from 4 to 8 in the Whalers Whale Haul. Next season I hope to maybe double my points again or get another 10 added onto it to triple my first season. Scoring some more goals would be pretty sweet too. I want to use my time on the ice to do as much as possible for my team. The Whalers has always been a supportive team and an amazing team to grow with and I hope in my next season with them to do just that.


I think SHL franchises in other continents would be something super interesting! Give we already have IIHF and WJC for the player’s home countries, I think with franchises in other continents would be a great addition to the league. Europe would be the place to start since most of the countries in IIHF and WJC are from North America or Europe with a few Asian teams. Having European/Asian located teams gives others the chance to recognize their heritage and make it something important to the player vs just selecting it because you can. It could also give us more PT opportunities like talking about moving countries, favourite food or activity from home, etc. 


The SHL or SMJHL player with the biggest TikTok following would no doubt be Jason Desrouleaux who is currently playing for Vancouver Whalers but will be joining the Hamilton Steelhawks soon. Desrouleaux would have the biggest following because he is Jason Desrouleaux. Amassing almost 35 million followers on the app already, his content is mostly him dancing to Savage Love over and over again. He’s got some videos of his two dogs Ice and Ghost, as well as general trends on the app. Each of his videos gets at least over 5 million views doing whatever his heart desires. The man has some weird content mixed into the content mentioned above.


The Buffalo Stampede and New Orleans Specters have decided to team up to fundraise to benefit both of their cities. As protests erupt across the continent, the two teams decide to raise money for their cities bail funds, repairs to the cities and to the Black Lives Matter organizations of their respective states and cities. The two teams will have BLM exclusive jerseys that will be all black, a matte black lettering for the numbers and names, and the only colour will be on their patches on the front for their logos. All the proceeds from the jerseys would go directly to BLM related organizations. This would ideally begin a movement across all the teams to do something similar to show their support for something that is so crucial right now. It’s important to stand up for each other. Sports are a way to bring people together but have also been known to divide. Let’s change that by coming together as one.



b. In the two regular season matchups, each team won once at home. Do you expect the results to reflect a home ice advantage in this series? (52 words)

With teams as strong as these, I think the home ice advantage might reflect into the results and how the games play out. Especially since both have won at home. The games will be tight, it might end up being down to who has the stronger crowd energy to secure the win.


d. What is your favorite name from a player appearing in this series? Why do you like that player's name? (55 words)

I may be biased, but Wile Coyote is one of my favourite names of the players in this series. Coming in a close second would be Grapefruit Lizard as those are my favourite citrus fruit and reptile. However, the rhyming of Wile Coyote, as well as personal memories of the name make it my favourite.


e. There are several animal names in this series - which of these animals is the coolest? sloth, hippo, otter, monkey, fox, kirby. (54 words)

All these animals are strong contenders for being the coolest, no doubt. The sloth’s patience, the hippo’s mighty strength, the otter’s cuteness, the monkey’s variety, the fox’s cunning. But Kirby? Kirby is above all and can be all of those. The round, pink creature is unmatched in his innocent, yet chaotic power he holds.
