5. Written, 3 TPE, And make it double (150 words min.)

SHL HO has noticed how well received the Ultimus Bowl half time show has been and you are now tasked to create a show for both intermissions during one of Challenge Cup Finals. What kind of performance it will be and how will you ensure that ice will get resurfaced while it is going on?

So a really easy way to put on an intermission show in the primary viewing space of a hockey arena and avoid it getting in the way of ice resurfacing is to just not have it be on the ice. How do you avoid putting it on the ice and still have it in the middle of the arena? Aerialists. Silks and rings are probably the best way to go with that. Arenas already have the necessary rigging for aerial equipment and netting, it's just a question of putting them up, but if you just hire some good IATSE circus techs you'll be pretty good to go on that front. Talk to your local IATSE chapter and don't avoid using union labor, besties. Set the performance to music. You could do a whole Blades of Glory thing with it, even. Stay on theme and all that. Just don't expect your performers to put skates on. They're not that coordinated.

6. Written, 2 TPE, Maybe next season (100 words min)

Which SHL or SMJHL team was the best team to not make the finals this season and why?

It's obviously the Quebec City Citadelles. That's not even homerism or bias, it's just true. QCC has now gone two season as the top team in the Simulation Major Junior Hockey League, only to fall flat and not make it past their first round of competition. I mean, it's embarrassing, really. On paper, they're far and away the best team, boasting a top line who posted, collectively, more than three hundred points, with an additional second line support of a player with 99 points, and some of the best goaltending in the league in Song Ju-gong. They just cannot get over the mental wall, apparently.
