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? Over the course of this previous season, I did not have too many goals set for my player. It was the final season of Ethan Price’s junior career before he gets called up for S56. With that said, there were a few statistics that I expected to come from him. That being getting at least 40 points as well as 20 goals. Both of these were met as he finished the season with 22 goals and 48 total points. Overall I feel as though it was a great way to finish off a career in the juniors as well as helping pad the stats for the history books. This upcoming season will be a big one as it’ll be my rookie SHL season. I’m really excited for it as I have a ton of banked TPE that I’ll finally be able to use as I craft my player for the future. 2. Written, 3 TPE (150 words min.) 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. This offseason is definitely one that people won’t forget about for some time. There were two new expansion teams that got announced, the Atlanta Inferno as well as the Seattle Argonauts. With this, it brought along an expansion draft. I believe the GM’s of each respective team will have to try their hardest to figure out the optimal players to select within the draft to be able to set up their teams for seasons to come. This won’t be an easy task. You have to think about how many players are protected, it’ll be tough for them to make a solid core right off the bat. I think for the most part they’ll need to look toward the future with the upcoming draft as well as next season to try and really solidify a solid team that will look toward becoming a contender in the future. I wish both of the GM’s luck headed into the future. 3. Written, 2 TPE (100 words min.) It's too late for this go-around of expansion, so hypothetically - should there be SHL franchises in other continents? I saw some interesting European proposals in the PT. Should these - or proposals for any other continent that's not North America - become a reality in the SHL? I personally don’t think that SHL franchises in other continents should be a thing. You have to take in account the travel time that it’d take to go from North America across the Atlantic. It would be an extreme time crunch for scheduling as well as a mental and physical draw on the players. This would also bring the issue of having to figure out currency exchanges as well, NO FUN. There’s plenty of states in the United States as well as provinces in Canada that could be great fits for potential teams in the future. Looking over toward Europe for a place that a team could call home is not it. 4. Written, 2 TPE (100 words min.) Which SHL or SMJHL team was the best team to not make the finals this season and why? I think the Anaheim Outlaws were one of the better teams that weren’t able to make the finals this season. Their core is currently on their way out, but they were still putting up respectable numbers throughout the season and into the first round of the playoffs. They have two really solid defensemen in James LeBlond and Emilia Bergman. They were second and fourth on the team in terms of scoring for the regular season for Anaheim. I think the issue was only having one solid center to rely on which caused them some issues in the long run. Hopefully their rebuild will be swift so that they’ll be back to competing again soon 7. Written, 3 TPE (150 words min.) The two finals teams have decided to team up for a fundraising opportunity to benefit both cities. What noble cause will the teams decide to benefit? What sort of fundraiser will the teams hold together? How will the two teams mesh before the finals start? Fundraising is always a toughie as it can be difficult to find something that people are actually interested in donating for. There’s always people on each side who wouldn’t like the cause. With that said, there’s one specific cause that could sway the people on each side. That would have to be the creation of a new pizza parlor. The two teams would be able to easily find people interested in donating if they were to receive a coupon book for half-off pizzas every third Thursday of every even numbered month. That’s honestly quite frankly an absolute steal no matter the amount that you’re donating to the cause. They could get a few samples pizzas and walk the streets handing out slices of it, it doesn’t even need to be from their own cooks. They could go get a few large carry outs from Domino’s and give those away and I bet people wouldn’t notice the difference. The two teams would even be able to have friendly team dinners with each other, preferably outside to respect social distancing guidelines. 16.
