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?

I thought it was a great season overall for my player. Second season in the juniors and playing on the 2nd line regular getting plenty of special teams action contributing points on the power play and killing lots of penalties. I had 2 goal 3 assists all my rookie season but came out with 10 goals 11 assists with over 50% faceoffs as well as blocking nearly 100 shots as a center. Also achieved the second highest hits for a forward on the team. In the end it didn't help the team win lots in the regular season but hopefully next year things will turn around! We won the first playoff game I had been a part of in Detroit this season and we managed to keep all the games within 1 goal. The time invested in bringing up my strength in the weight room and extra sprints on the ice really paid off to make that happen. Next season I will continue to do what I do best and defend hard while transitioning to make big plays going forward.

FHM's 12-team playoff bracket setup has received a fair bit of scrutiny. It re-seeds after the play-in round and for some reason puts the #1 seed and #2 seed on the same side of the bracket. I challenge you to come up with a different playoff format - can you come up with a format that's dumber/worse than this? be creative! Come up with the worst possible format for a 12-team playoff.

I call this the gauntlet series. There are 6 teams from each conference selected and plays the team that shares their rank from the opposite conference. 1st plays 1st, 2nd plays 2nd all the way to 6th vs 6th. They play 7 games in 7 nights no nights off in between at all. The losers are all out, except the loser of the 1st vs 1st seed series which the winner moves straight to the final, the loser drops down to play the winner of the 6th seed. It will be a best of 7 as well in straight nights with the winner moving on to play the 5ths seed winner, then that winner the 4th seed, then 3rd then 2nd until that winner plays the winner of the 1st series. Makes perfect sense as it drags the playoffs out and gives almost a month off for the top seed winning in the first round.

Write an SHL themed Haiku Sonnet (see link below) which I just learned is a real thing. The format is: Haiku Haiku Haiku Haiku Couplet

As SHL grows
the game brings forward legend
that will inspire

Greatness and glory
supporters chanting chearing
to bring the cup home

Rivals fierce battles
putting body, heart and mind
on the line each time

Heros will shine bright
each time they take to the ice
the goal horn goes off

Glide, cheer and leap to the glass
victory yours may it last
