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, Guy LeGrande, had a very solid season. While not having a huge role, Guy was able to play the team game with good success. Leader boards don't often reflect a players behind the scene play. I think for the most part, it was a perfect place to be in at this time in his career. I would hope to get some scoring in if given the chance without giving up any defensive skills. Going forward, I think there are a few skills that needs to be addressed. Face offs was a hit and miss all season, so a lot of work will focus in that department. Also passing could be better but that is always the case with a young player. Strength will come into play along with stamina resulting in a faster, harder hitting forward. Next season should be more or less a break out year for Guy LeGrande. With hard work in those areas, I believe it will be.

Which player from the Steelhawks

or Specters has a great chance to make the Hall of Fame when their

playing days are up? Make the case for that player's HOF bid.

I think Robert Phelps would get my vote for the Hall of Fame. Looking at his very impressive career, it would be hard not to make a case for his induction. This player has played his heart out for eight hundred games, averaging just under a point per game for his career. Several seasons he was well above the point per game mark. While having nearly five hundred assists, you can see that he made everyone around him a better player as well. A trait that is indicative of a true Hall of Fame'r. I am sure there are many young players in the minors that look at Robert Phelp's career and strive to be like him.

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).

The SHL has been outspoken about reducing its

carbon footprint, which made it all the more surprising to see the

unveiling of a brand new custom private jet for Head Office members.

Not the type of move we like to see, to be completely honest. Anyway,

what does the jet look like? Create a graphic of SHL HO's custom

private jet (inside or out).

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.)

I feel that regular season match up results are only good if the GM's are clever enough to see what happened and react to those wins or loses to gain an edge during a playoff match up. I have seen many times when a team has lost every game during the regular season only to come back in the play offs and win the series. It's a chess match or throw the lines in a blender and see what happens.

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?

I would take the trip to New Orleans

hands down. Not for anything related to a team, but the food is out

of this world. The Cajun's know how to cook all sorts of things you

normally wouldn't think about. I am really fond of a good Cajun

Gumbo. Also, the parties are around the clock in certain areas so

that's a big plus.
