Of course everyone wants the Challenge Cup, it is the best trophy in sorts. Have you seen the challenge cup? It has hundreds of fake hockey player names plastered all over it. And while most would think that the trophy looks similar to the national hockey league’s Stanley Cup, it doesn’t at all. Instead, the Challenge Cup looks a lot more akin to a traffic cone than a traditional trophy. It is a long and tapered item. And instead of names being engraved on the side of it, instead they are hand scripted by a small dwarf that the SHL has held captive since its inception. Really, it is quite impressive calligraphy if you think about it. Over the years, the trophy has not changed much at all. In fact, the only change that you can see from the original is that it now has even more names written on it and there are some semblances of mold in cervices because the league office has a bit of a mildew problem and nobody really cleans the damn thing.

The more prestigious cup in the simulation hockey universe is still the Challenge Cup. And while the Four Star Cup has improved its position in the ranks over the course of the last few years, it still cannot compete. There were times when the North West Junior Hockey League was the major junior league in the SHL. And there weren’t nearly the number of teams in the NWJHL as there are in the SMJHL. And the competition was not nearly as fierce as it is today either. The history of some of the older junior teams is just simply not as impressive. And while any championship is really difficult to win, none is more difficult than the Challenge Cup. The road to the finals is grueling, the tactical requirements from management are fierce and there is no easy victory. Anybody who says that they would prefer a Four Star over a Challenge Cup just isn’t being honest with themselves. The Challenge Cup is harder to win and has the more prestigious history.

The perfect SHL defensive pairing already existed, however it has been many seasons since it last roamed the ice. In Season 22, Chuck Goody and Roy Razin were the top pair for the Challenge Cup winning Manhattan Rage. Manhattan had never been to and emerged victorious from a Challenge Cup in Season 22, but these two work horse blueliners lead that team to the promised land. Razin is established as one of the top scoring defenseman of all time and is arguably the most decorated Rage defenseman of all time. Goody himself also managed a Stevens Trophy and found himself elected to the SHL Hall of Fame not longer after his retirement. This pair was tough to play against in all of the minutes they shared the ice together. They were tough, they were tight on gaps and they were always a threat to join in the offensive rush and create an impact on the game. Not to mention, they were two terrific leaders to a Rage franchise that needed it. Putting that defensive pair back out there with my player today would be glorious. For the sake of conversation, Kickz Jr. will play center and be flanked by these two greats to see how they achieve as a forward group.

Two million dollars is a lot of money to waste on a website that is likely never going to be a profitable business, but hey I am happy to give it a shot. We know that one of the easiest ways to generate revenue as an online platform is to find ways to generate clicks and views for advertising revenue. So, we use our money to manufacture whatever the next fad thing is, like fidget spinners or live strong bracelets. And while driving the traffic to our site for those purchases is up and running, we will convince all of our existing members that this is the next big thing. So, we will start to manipulate the market by pricing our first units at an extreme real life price and promise those hungry TPE loving SHL players that their first purchase comes with an additional 15 TPE. Honestly, we probably won’t even need advertising revenue by selling TPE to these poor shmucks, they’ll do just about anything for a few points. Before I know it, that two million dollars has turned into ten million and I’m off to the beach in Barbados.
