2. Written, 3 TPE, What if...? (150 words min.)

Pick a moment in SHL history to change. It could be something large, an expansion draft, sim engine change, or something smaller, like a trade or team punishment. Change something about this moment in the SHL and explain the impact the difference would make in how the league developed since that moment. (think Butterfly Effect)

Here's my thing to change, ready? What if the founding of the Simulation Hockey League was actually about field hockey instead of ice hockey? Can you imagine what sort of wacky world that would be? I bet we'd have to use some sort of very specific field hockey simulation program that was invented by some math major at an ivy league school in 2003 and hadn't been updated since. Would the teams be the same? No way! Imagine playing field hockey in some of the places our teams are now would not work out that well. Probably a bit too cold, I'd imagine. And would it be a mostly female oriented league? I know in the United States at least the majority of field hockey players are female. So that would make the league quite different. So yeah. Changing the league to be field hockey instead of ice hockey. I think that would make a huge difference.

3. Written, 3 TPE, Draft Kings (150 words min.)

Pick a draft class in the SHL that you believe had the most impact on the SHL. It can be a consensus pick, like S36, 31, or 53, or an off-the-board one (S41?). Explain your reasoning to why this draft class impacted the league; Could be in a good way, or a bad way.

Yeah, without a doubt the class of season 53. This is one hundred percent because I am from that class and I don't know anything about any of the classes before or after mine. But there is some other evidence that supports my thoughts. First of which is the draft class of season 53 has the most amount of cool people out of all the other draft classes, and that is an indisputable fact. The draft class of season 53 also has the most scoringest players, probably. I didn't run the numbers on that one, but given the class is so big and is still going pretty strong this far into their careers, I'd say there is a good chance of it being true. I think this class also has a bunch of people running the Simulation Hockey League in the banking, HO, and like every other thing that could be run by people, so that's cool too.

4. Written, 3 TPE, Biopic (150 words min.)

You've been contacted by a big film studio who wants to center the next big hockey movie around your career so far! All you need to do is supply a 150+ word explanation about what will be key scenes of moments or games in your career, the cast, and a general timeline of the film as it follows you from team to team, junior to pro. This one is open ended so how you approach it is up to you!

Oh boy, I can't wait to see "The Exander", the true story about the expansion draft journeyman Frederick Wanesly. Big highlights would certainly include the 53rd season as Fred Wanesly and the Detroit Falcons dominated the SImulation Major Junior Hockey League and won the championship. It would also include the subsequent slump following that championship. I'm sure it would talk about what some may call "the Herman curse" and how it contributed to that slump. Then we get to the first expansion. Before Fred could even be called up to play with Tampa, the team who drafted him, he was selected to join the brand new expansion team, the Seatle Argonauts. Fred had a good run with the team and was a core component to building the team from scratch. But then, all of the sudden, ANOTHER EXPANSION DRAFT and Fred Wanesly is drafted to another brand new team, the Philidelphia Forge. Again, Fred is a crucial part of building this team up from nothing.

Code:
12. Milestones, up to 3 TPE

Milestones are folded in with CW. So just link your Milestone claim as task 12 for up to 3 TPE towards your 16 total.

https://simulationhockey.com/showthread.php?tid=119534

Post your claim in the milestones thread for tpe earned per stat, and then link that post in your CW submission. This is done because the person who grades CW will be a different person than double-checks milestones.
