2009/10 HFNHL Endorsements

[SPG]

CHL:
- Forward with more than 100 points or top 5 in league scoring.
- Defenceman with more than 60 points or top 5 in defenseman.
- Goalie who finishes in the top 3 in either GAA or SV %.
- Any player who wins one of the following awards: Most Outstanding Player, Defenseman of the Year, Goaltender of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Playoff MVP, or Overage Player of the Year

Is this for the entire CHL, or top 5 in individual leagues?

freakin Calvert got 99 points.. lol he had to put up 20 points in his last 7 games to top the 100 mark.. the freakin guy got 16 points in 7 games.. unbelieveable.. great effort, but still enough for an endorsement, same with Elliott who put up 65 points for the first two..

The next two come from the AHL with Tyler Ennis' 65 points as a rookie will give him not only the scoring title, all-star game, but surely a few other accolades before the season is over, Jonathan Blum has 35 points, and Mark Katic was named to the all-star team, so put it in any order, none of these guys are leaving the desert, unless an extreme offer comes up, so Phoenix has been assured the 4M max.

Interesting question I have about the Mountain Dew Award. Mike Hoffman was a prospect on my team that I traded on March 23rd to the hated Sean K and his HFNHL Vancouver Canucks. The QMJHL season ended on March 14th and he was named league MVP on March 31st.

Since the trade fell right in the middle of him being named MVP and the season ending does Sean K get the right to claim the Mountain Dew award or can I do so?

$1,000,000 is a lot of money that I could use.

If I recall correctly, neither gets to claim it. The prospect has to be on the same teams prospect list during the whole HFNHL-season, from signing the endorsement deal to the payout of the endorsement money at the end of the season. Reason behind this is to prevent trading of MD-money to other teams.

That's correct, I'm afraid, and it cost me two endorsements myself this year, when I traded Stepan and Smith, both of whom has earned endorsements prior to being traded.

Believe me, I could use the money too...

Columbus finally earned Mountain Dew endorsement #4 when Wisconsin Senior Blake Geoffrion was named the winner of the 2010 Hobey Baker Award for the top player in college hockey.

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=317351

EDIT: Geoffrion's stellar NCAA career ended with a disappointing crash last night as his Wisconsin Badgers got manhandled in the National Championship game, losing out to Boston College in a 5-0 rout. Jackets prospects Geoffrion (SR), Ryan McDonagh (JR) and Justin Schultz (FR), along with former Jackets Derek Stepan (SO) and Brendan Smith (JR), were baffled by BC's astounding defensive commitment in getting into shooting lanes and blocking no fewer than 18 Badgers shots. The crushing loss will no doubt leave a sour taste in Geoffrion's mouth as his thoughts now turn to his pro career. He should sign this week, but (AFAIK) he won't be eligible to dress for Nashville in the upcoming NHL playoffs. He should, however, be able to join the Milwaukee Admirals in the Calder Cup Playoffs, which would be a great introduction to the rigours of the pro game. After last night's loss, it will be interesting to see whether highly regarded underclassmen McDonagh and Smith choose to come back for one last kick at the National Championship, or make the jump themselves to the pro ranks.

I think your endorsement was met when Geoffrion was nominated for the Hobey Baker.

I was surprised with the way the game turned out. Thought Wisconsin would have put up more of a fight...which I guess they did until the 3rd, but I expected a closer final score.

True enough... but I was so busy with the new job, I didn't realize he'd been nominated until after he won!

I was surprised with the way the game turned out. Thought Wisconsin would have put up more of a fight...which I guess they did until the 3rd, but I expected a closer final score.

I think everyone was surprised, even Boston College. It's definitely going to cast a pall over what was otherwise a terrifically successful season.

Sometimes you need to fail before succeeding. Mike Eaves is a great coach, and if the underclassmen like Stepan and McDonagh return with a chip on their shoulder, the Badgers will be one of the teams to beat next season. Stark contrast is BU, which had a down year after winning a championship, and now all of the underclassmen are getting out of town (save Warsofsky).
