HOCKEY PROMPT - You find yourself in an elevator with a high-powered TV executive who is a massive SHL fan and immediately recognizes you! They tell you how they've got a huge opening on a major streaming service early next year that they want to fill with premium sports content.
Written Task: Tell the executive everything about your team going in to S64 and why the world should care. What are the story lines developing on your roster this season? Is this a season where your team is all in on the cup? Has there been a big trade or free agent signing? Maybe this is a season full of new fresh young guns? What stories would a TV show covering your team this season need to capture? (150+ words)
Graphic Task: Depict a scene from the pilot episode of this series. Make sure we know what team you're a part of and who the players in the scene are.
PLAYER PROMPT- Maybe you weren't the one in the elevator, but whether you like it or not your team's been chosen for filming this season.
Written Task: Does your player like being filmed? Are you a limelight seeker, or a player that prefers to be left alone? If it's the former, what kind of shenanigans are you pulling to ensure you get a ton of screen time in the final edit? If you're the latter, what clever maneuvers do you pull to keep yourself off of camera? A disguise? A convenient excuse? (150+ words).
Graphic Task:- Depict your player enjoying the spotlight and giving an exciting interview OR the creative way they avoid having to give one.

Unfortunately due to the fact that Tanner has never known anything apart from limelight and cameras in his face, he has never enjoyed the idea of always being in the public eye. He has spent time around the arena when his grandfather was playing, and he continued to spend time around the arena when his father played. The amount of time he has spent in the spotlight has forced him to be a bit of a recluse in his personal life, just due to the fact that he has never experienced what true privacy feels like. Thankfully the press has been a lot more understanding since his transition to the Minnesota Monarchs, maybe this is because they are honouring his request to stay out of the light, or maybe he just is not a relevant enough of a prospect to warrant the cameras always being on him. Regardless, Tanner has never liked the cameras, and prays they continue to stay out of his face in Minnesota.
Louise is a bit of a flamboyant showoff who craves the limelight. She never says no to a camera in her face unless we just lost 9-0 to a hated rival and she feels like jumping off a cliff. If they're filming in, say, the locker room, she's gonna leap up on the bench and get everyone hyped, whether we're trying to overturn a deficit or hold onto a lead, Off the ice, she is very involved in the community and I'm sure the cameras will love seeing her trips to the hospital to visit sick children who look up to her. And they'll definitely be able to see her on the town nightlife, flashing smiles to anyone that recognizes her, pausing to sign autographs, and going to karaoke nights even though she can't sing if her life depended on it. A fun lover that loves the camera.
The Los Angeles Panthers are going to look a little different going into next season, for example with the loss of fan favorite Jimmy Slothface who was traded to the Toronto North Stars, as well as the acquisitions of Joseph Weston and Slip McScruff or whatever he goes by these days, things are going to look a little competitive they hope. This means the executive should obviously care about all the ways that they can build up dramatic tension as the season goes on and all the different ways that they can play up the individual storylines of the players on the team. There have been quite a few big trades and free agent signings for the team so this would be a nice way to have multiple episodes dragging the viewer along for extra ratings, much like the very "distinguished" in sarcastic quotes for Netflix's Drive To Survive which makes a mockery of what actually happens in F1

devin basher normally would not be super stoked about the hamilton steelhawks filming session this season. he can be pretty shy and he prefers to just hang back and let others enjoy the spotlight. but now that he's much more comfortable on the ice with his teammates he is starting to break out of his shell. he would definitely get up to some shenanigans with rotticus scott, the good ol a jobin and the man himself mitchell van der heijden. it is just bound to happen. zooming around the ice skating circles around the other players and showing off just a tad. because why not? on the back of the last hamilton steelhawks cup win, we're just super gassed up. it is a great time to have fun with the players while having a great piece of video to watch later in life. it will be a great memorable piece of history to go back and watch when we are retired.

For S64 the Kelowna have lost quite a few key pieces in the off-season with their players getting called up to their respective SHL teams. We ultimately fell to the GFG in the conference finals in last season's playoffs and with this season looking to be a re-tool kind of season, it'll be tough to reach the conference finals again. This season we are in a three team division alongside the Regina and the St.Louis . So thankfully we are guaranteed an automatic playoff spot! From test sims it'll be a close race between us and the Elk for 1st in our division.
For the S64 J draft, the Kelowna drafted a lot of former Hamilton players so a potential draft pipeline could be connected for these two teams for seasons to come. The top defensemen on the are entering their final season in the J and will be called up to their SHL teams in S65. Ben Jammin (hey that's me) and Christian Kinsinger were a D pair for the past 3 seasons together, but now it looks like they'll be split up to balance out the rest of the D pairings for the team. It'll be interesting to see how they both play, as they have been so used to playing together and will now be paired with up new defensive partners for the 1st time in their J careers.
The Newfoundland look like the favourites again to capture the cup, so all teams will be looking to play spoiler and ruin their chances of repeating as J cup champs again.
Tampa Bay won 6 out of 7 pre season games but they did not face their nemesis in the Baltimore Platoon. Three seasons in a row the Tampa Bay Barracuda have lost to the Platoon in the playoffs, one series went to 7 games but the others were 6 games and Tampa was out. I think the biggest story going into this season is Tampa's road to revenge on the Platoon and hopefully a big build up to the eventual slaying of the dragon so to say. The platoon is still a very strong team but tampa keeps getting stronger season after season and one of these days they are bound to get passed the beast and onto the later rounds of the playoffs. Losing in rounds 1 or 2 is just not good enough for this team anymore, they absolutely need to do more before their young core gets too old to really compete like they have been.
I would tell the executive about how a series that follows the S64 San Francisco Pride would draw people in like a casino. It's always a gamble as to wether the Pride will do well in the league or not. After having completed a rebuild and developing a very skilled roster, the Pride have still struggled to break in to the second round of the playoffs. The season would follow the stories of the top players of the Pride who have been searching for any sign of success for almost 10 full seasons now. Is the core of the team built well enough to finally make noise in the playoffs? Or is the team doomed to have yet another top-tier roster put up average at best results. Three new rookies have also entered the lineup and will be looking to prove themselves to the Pride fans. Will Svoboda, Samuelsson, and Tamura be able to keep pace with the already well-established roster? We may never know the answers to these storylines unless the show is filmed.
