1. Reflection on your season - how did your player fare on the ice this season? Did you meet or surpass your individual player goals or did you come up short? Whether you excelled or disappointed - what can you attribute that to? What will you try to do better next season?

- My player was showing flashes of being a good player, but one more year in the SMJHL would help make my player ready for the call up to his SHL team The Winnipeg Jets. His scoring will be better and he will able to read the defense better next year. His second year in the SMJHL for the Detroit Falcons was a 180 in what happened last year with his rough start to his career, but he keeps growing and will succeed in his third year. My player is trying to get better in all aspects of the game! He needs to be a better defender, as well as scoring when giving the chance, because last year he did not capitalize on certain chances to score. I know he loves being in Detroit, because that’s where he believes he can thrive the most. Being in Detroit will help him learn from the best in the business.

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

- The WJC is full of excitement and young players trying to make a name for themselves. As a newly appointed GM of Team UCORCA for S55. I believe with team Captain and I choose. We have best chance to go after the gold this year. The addition of new players wanting to join our team, and having them make a huge impact already before the first pick drop. I’m excited to see what this team has up their sleeve come WJC game time! There is a lot of godo talent out there this season for the WJC, but I think Russia/Czech/Lativia have amazing talent coming out of their respected countries. Medaling out is the goal for us. I think we can compete for gold with our two great goalies between the posts. The defense is just so tough to get past. Our goal scorers are the best in the WJC. Go Team UCORCAL!

3. Design a Challenge Cup championship ring for one of the teams in the finals. (A four-star cup championship ring for the SMJHL is ok as well.)


4. Design a Challenge Cup/Four Star Cup Championship banner for one of the teams in the finals, like those which appear on the side of the site.


5. This offseason will be extra exciting, as it features the rare expansion draft! Write about how you think the expansion draft will play out, either for one or both of the expansion teams or from an SHL team's perspective.

- As the season was coming to a close we saw two new expansion teams join the SHL. The two teams who are now part of the SHL are the Atlanta Infernos and the Seattle Argonauts. I got to say the logos for the Atlanta Infernos are just absolutely fantastic! The Seattle Argonauts logo is FILTHY!!!! Love the ship and the waves are sweet! The secondary logo for the Seattle Argonauts are awesome! But the draft. It’s gonna go like this. Teams in the SHL has to save and sacrifice players. If you go through the list there is a lot of players that are active and very high TPE guys. Watch out for the new expansion teams to make some noise. These players that weren’t saved are going to work harder and strive to be the best. Tig and Hotdog will be ready for the task at hand to pick the best players available and turn them into stars.
