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?


1. This past season Kristjansson really under performed.I was expected a lot more out of him and he ended up worse than his second season in the SMJHL. Honeslty I am unsure what to attribute this failure to at all as once the post season hit I was a point per game which made no sense to me as to why my regular season was so mediocre. I saw a regression in the regular season that I want to blame updated my players defensive attributes to , however It really is a baseless blame. I had a goal of netting 40 points however fell short at 29, and didn't improve any of my stats from last season besides my defensive stats and those are the only milestones I ended up getting, the defensive ones. Well next season I will be up in the SHL and fully expect a fresh start to which I hope at least 10 points in my first season, a man can dream.

What's your prediction for this season's IIHF tournament? Which teams do you expect to do well (or not well)? Which players?


7. Being a Canada home boy, I obviously chose Canada to win this seasons IIHF tournament, and personally have a soft spot for Japan, former team of my former player and think they can surprise. At this point I haven't really been paying attention to the IIHF as I am mostly interested in the WJC given the level of my current player however if I would have to make a guess as to who will do well in this tournament I would give a shutout to 2 players a shared a team with in the past. I fully expect Carpy and Luffy to carry their teams respectively , Finland and Japan if im not mistaken, and to be real standouts in this years edition of the tournament. I would have additionally said Frans Eller but I have no idea if he even made the cut for team Canada because I haven't been paying anyt attention. Gold: Canada, Silver: USA, Bronze: Russia, there you go, my predictions which are probably already incorrect.

Of the 10 most recent finals series, which do you think is the most memorable and why? Which will be remembered in history as the best/most important/most memorable series or victory? S46: BUF over NOLA, S47: WKP over CGY, S48: BUF over WPG, S49: EDM over NEW, S50: CGY over TBB, S51: HAM over EDM, S52: MAN over SFP, S53: HAM over EDM, S54: NOLA over HAM, S55: BUF over NOLA.


2. The most memorable series for me, not that I even paid any attention to them at all since my previous player was trash and since then Ive been in the SMJHL however I would say one in recent memory, S55 Buf over Nola. Nola was the reigning champ from the season prior and my old friend Monkey D. Luffy was leading Buffalo. Well as is natural I was hoping to see my friend win a cup, especially over the reigning champs. The team did this too, on the cusp of Luffy's beginning of regression so I was pretty happy for the guy. This may not be the most memorable for the league, but personally to me it is, at least more than the others as the other games or series had no real meaning to me as I wasn't honestly paying any attention to them. Can't say I paid attention to S55 either but I at least was happy when I heard the result, also the banner was okay as well.

a. Both of these teams have an impressive set of skaters - without factoring in any coaching or tactical strategies, which team do you think has the better roster of skaters on paper?
b. Do you foresee the teams making any strategic adjustments during the course of the series? Should the teams be quick to switch tactics or stick with what they've been using?
c. These two teams hail from the Great Lakes Division. Which of the Great Lakes (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior) do you think is the Greatest and why?
d. If, once it is safe to do so, you had to go hang out in person with one of the users on Buffalo/Hamilton, who would you hang out with and what would you do? (if you pick gabe you get -1 tpe)


a. Answering this question just really isn't fair at this point in time. Originally I was going to say Buffalo but Hamilton won the cup so it was them wasn't it. I honestly don't know their rosters very well, but I was going to answer Buffalo because of my friend and old teammate on Lethbridge, Luffy but alas.

b. Well again at this point with it being over. I expected both teams to stick with the strategies they have been using and slowly adapt them if one goes down 0-2 games in a series. I am not sure if Buffalo did this before losing however I would assume there were changes that were made to no avail.

c. Although I'm from Toronto, and I am super familiar with Lake Huron and Lake Ontario, I would have to give the greatest lake award to lake Superior. As they say Lake Superior never gives up her dead, and is the largest freshwater lake by surface area, enough for me to be considered the greatest.

d. Okay this one is easy. I would hang out with Monkey D. Luffy obviously and basically the hang out session would last a couple of minutes with threats of being traded, even though I am not on Buffalo, and then I would threaten to retire all in good fun. I think it would be a nice time.
