I was pleasantly surprised with Sven’s season in S57. My goal going into the season was to reach the 0.5 point per game mark on a basement dwelling San Francisco Pride. I knew Sven would be getting top line minutes with two other good players, but it was still a big question mark of whether he could actually produce playing against what I assumed would be much higher TPE players on opponents’ first lines or strong shut down lines. Sven finished with 14 goals and 21 assists for 35 points in 66 games, just over 0.5 points per game. I was also pleasantly surprised with his +/- not being nearly as bad as it could’ve been at “only” -29. Sven did play slightly less of an aggressive physical game this season, amassing 122 hits compared to his 142 in 50 games last season. Overall, it was a big improvement from 13 points in 50 games to 35 in 66 and I attribute that to the incremental TPE I played with along with that of my line mates.


The newest FHM role is the Masochist Forward. The Masochist excels at blocking shots, taking a punishment in the corners, sacrificing his body in the neutral zone to dump the puck in, and generally being a team first player in every regard. Important attributes are Shot Blocking, Defensive Read, Balance, Strength, Screening, and Bravery. Equally important is to have a 5 in Fighting, so the Masochist can answer the bell and get their face pounded in. Naturally Shot Blocking is the key attribute. The Masochist serves a key purpose on every team’s bottom line and provides a lot of in-sim motivation to his/her teammates.


Sven Svenson went through a dark time where he got really deep into a cult in Sweden. He eventually pulled himself out of it, but was struck by the psychological forces at work for him to end up in such a dark place. This offseason, Sven is donating his time to help rehabilitate those that have fallen into the Qanon conspiracy theory cult. The effect the cult has had on families has been well documented and rehabilitating those that have fallen into the disinformation campaign through online channels is extremely challenging. Many families have been torn apart by a family member losing touch with reality and Sven is determined to provide support groups for those affected by the cult as well as counseling to those trying to regain their grasp of reality. It is extremely challenging work and Sven has taken it upon himself to do it in the Denver area, where he lives in the offseason due to his connection with the Raptors.

This is an easy answer for the SMJHL, it is clearly the Quebec City Citadelles. They had a monstrous regular seasons and were eliminated in the semi-finals by the eventual cup winning team. It’s remarkable to consider the team only lost 8 games in regulation and 9 games in OT out of 66 games, nearly 50 wins. They had 15 more points than the next closest team, the eventual cup winning Armada, and scored more than 50 goals more during the regular season. It’s a shame that the playoff system forced them to play the #2 seed before making it to the finals, although I suppose one could argue that losing in the semi finals is less painful than the finals.
