10. Written, 3 TPE, IIHF Analysis (150 words min.) How do you think the IIHF federation you play for will do this season? Will you be better than last seasons? Why or why not?

Answer: Season Season Seventy Two was another step in the right direction during its IHHF tournament for team Latvia as it goes through its rebuild. While there is still more growing left for this pretty young team, the new core of the team is starting to hit its prime and has some veteran members from the previous core providing good depth and leadership for team Latvia. Even though team Latvia did not make it out of the round robin stage they had some really big wins against some major players in the world. An exciting thing for this tournament too will be Rodrick Banes wearing the captaincy for team Latvia for his final tournament so I hope that he will be able to lead the team to some success. There are going to be a lot of young talent on team Latvia this season with a lot of promise including Surkhi-Ze'ev, Bordeleau, and Junoir . In addition, there are going to be some players on team Latvia that will be getting close to retirement like Wing, Banes and Marner. Overall, I hope team can improve on their early round robin finish from last season and think it can be done.

Answer: The Edmonton Blizzard won the Season Seventy Three Challenge Cup which I want to start off by giving them a big congratulations on a well deserved championship win. They have built an absolute power house drafting from the group up hitting on a lots of picks and then developing them into solid SHL players. In addition they have made some really shrewd trades and kept committed to their rebuild process. They have become the standard for teams that are wanting to have a successful rebuild and expect them to become the standard of regular season and post season success and consistency for many seasons to come in my opinion.
