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?

Code:
  My season objectives for the last few seasons have been "Don't Suck" and "40 Points?". I got very close last season on primarily assists, with only 6 goals. My biggest gripe on an award-winning season was my shooting; <6% shot accuracy and 6 goals kind of hurt.

  Going into this season, I tweaked a few things in hope of getting to 40 points. I had a career-high 43 points, 14-29-43. I don't think I'll win any awards, but that's okay with me.

Well, dang. Your team didn't make the finals this season - my condolences to you. Are you and your teammates planning on watching the finals even though you're not in it? If so, what are your watch parties like? If not, are you still following the finals or trying to ignore it completely? What are you and your teammates doing together (if anything) instead of following along? (if you're on Hamilton or New Orleans, or either of the 2 SMJHL teams that soon will be playing in the finals - congrats and sorry :p this one isn't for you!)

Code:
  It's been pretty relaxed in St. Louis where the Playoffs are concerned. Toronto called me up before I was out of the shower after Game 7, so I've been looking forward to that more.

  We do have some watch parties for the SHL in St. Louis. With the connection to NOLA and prospects for both teams on our team, it's nice to be supportive. We'll start out watching the game, but often switch to a movie or some games like Jackbox afterward. It's a different person hosting the party every time so far, so that's been fun.

  I've kinda been watching the SMJHL Playoffs from afar. I'd like to see Anaheim and Carolina in the Finals. Always gotta root for Strom and Rhys, but Carolina winning out makes us look better.

8. Written (150 words min.) or Graphic, 3 TPE

With only one champion in the SHL and the SMJHL per season, that means the other 26 teams came up just a bit short (or a lot short). Team owners know that fans can get frustrated by shortcomings, so they're always trying to keep optimism high in the fan base. Written option: give an excerpt from an ousted team's owner's press conference at the end of the season focusing on the team's bright future or however they can keep fans' optimism high. Graphic option: the team has rented a billboard in town with an inspiring message to fans to keep optimism high; show the billboard (must include team logo and whatever the optimistic message is).

Code:
10. Graphic, 3 TPE

Create a magazine cover that highlights either a player in the finals or a standout player from the regular season.

13. Written, up to 4 TPE Pick up to 4 Challenge Cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words.

a. These are absolutely two of the best goaltenders in the league in Cain and Kryyst - which team has the advantage in net in this series?

b. There are two Johnsons in this series - Gabriel (HAM) and Darnell (NOLA). In fact, the two used to host the Johnson & Johnson Podcast together, but they're now on the ice as bitter rivals. Which team has the better Johnson?

c. The Specters won both regular season matchups, but Hamilton finished with better team stats overall. Do regular season head-to-heads provide an accurate forecast for a playoff series? (answer predictively if it hasn't happened yet; reactively if it has.)

d. If SDCore offered you an all-expenses paid week-long vacation to either New Orleans or Hamilton, which city would you choose to go to? (tough choice I know lol.) How would you spend your time there?

Code:
d. NOLA, absolutely. Sign me up! I'd be looking forward to the gumbo and beignets with a side of voodoo thrills and jazz. Looking it up, there's a ton of steam paddle boat tours of the bayou and at least 30 different ghost adventure tours. If it's Mardi Gras, even better. I've never been, but if it's anything like Gasparilla, it'll be a great time with lots of beads, music, and cool floats.
