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 performed much better this season than he did last season. As this was my first season playing uncapped at 425 in the SMJHL, I was expecting a performance boost, but not nearly as much as what did happen. I was placed on a very strong line with Jaska Seppala and Rotticus Scott, and we pretty much tore the league to shreds. I surpassed my individual goals and can contribute that to my linemates and my dedication to earning that sweet, sweet TPE. Next season, I'll have to work on making Rocco more disciplined as he led the Knights in penalty minutes. I'm not sure how I'll be able to achieve this, as I don't have any further TPE to spend until I uncap, but it is something that needs to happen if we want to excel further next season. Perhaps the GMs in Kelowna can tweak the line strats to ensure that we're not taking as many risks that could lead to calls.

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!)
Well, it was a tough end to the season. We ran into a ridiculously hot Strom Chamberlain and we just couldn't really figure him out throughout the five games of the series. From what I have heard, some of the boys are planning a little viewing party for the finals that is very anti-Anaheim. I think the first party is actually today, and it isn't really a party per se, just because of the situation with COVID (not Cal Covid, like the virus). We're all meeting up on Zoom at around 3:00pm Eastern to watch the finals and toss some chirps around at the boys who deserve them. The watch parties will consist of almost everyone getting absolutely buckled, blackout drunk and ordering some individual pan pizzas from the main pizza sponsor of the Kelowna Knights, Domino's. I think some of the fellas are even laying down bets on who taps out for the night first. My money's on Takshak.

It has been publicized a decent amount on this site but Hamilton prospect Andrei Kostitsyn's brother Sergei appears to be missing. Does anybody know where Sergei? What have you done/what can you do to help Andrei track down his brother?
Ummm, firstly, it is (CLEAN) Andrei Kostitsyn. And I have been putting in work for three seasons to find Sergei. I started my journey in London, ON where I went to interrogate the Hunter brothers, Mark and Dale, and get them to tell me where they were hiding Sergei. The brothers played for the London Knights back in the day, so I thought this was a logical place to start. They weren't able to provide much info, so my next step is to cross the pond and scour the Belarusian countryside. We must locate Sergei at all goddamn costs, for the love of god.

Write a sonnet about an SHL-related topic. Be sure to follow the proper ABAB-CDCD-EFEF-GG rhyme structure or your HS English (or equivalent any-language Writing teacher) will track you down and give you a failing grade.
The Knights are done their season,
A tough end, it was bad.
They sucked late for no reason,
And now Katth and Naosu are sad. :(
Berni wouldn't move the puck,
Seppala couldn't find the net.
Scott proved to be out of luck,
And Kav ended up wet.
We can't fix the rest of this year,
The Knight will change their focus.
It is too late to shed a tear,
In S55 we will storm the net like locusts.
Season 55 with be the season of the Knight,
It will fill the SMJHL with lots of fright.

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?
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?
b. I'm going to have to go with Gabe on this one. Everyone always says the Gabe does suck, and I one hundred percent do not doubt that, but he pretty much carried my fantasy team this past season, so I can;t layer on any more slander. Gabriel Johnson is an elite defender in the league and sprinkles in a little bit of offensive spice more often than you'd think.
d. Send me to New Orleans, baby. Hamilton stinks, I've been there a few too many time for my liking. Preferably, Corey would send me during or around the time of Mardi Gras so we could have some fun. If not, I'd probably head out to the French Quarter and just absolutely moss on the beautiful, aesthetically pleasing balconies that line the streets.
