RE: S77 PT #3: Humppaa Suomesta - JohnnyPatey - 06-30-2024
When it comes to Patey V2, meeting people from many different nations has only done positives for him. He is from a small town so any new sort of culture in his life only advanced his intelligence and understanding further. The biggest change was during the back to back to back World Junior Championships when I was playing for Finland, alongside 2 other nations. Learning about the languages, different foods, and even how to interact was different from what I was used to. The fact that we spent so much time together trying to win and reach all of our goals brought us together even more than it may have normally would. The biggest thing that I would say that grew for Patey V2 was his appreciation for other sports though. Patey V2 is known to play other sports but his love for soccer has grown thanks to his teammates. Finland is not known as a powerhouse, but some of his fellow European countries teammates are obsessed, and hopefully that does not change Patey V2's work ethic...

Lucky for Nash he is able to show his aggression in other ways other than just verabally. Being a stalwart defenseman and self proclaimed defenseman of the puck, he can really throw his body around even though he is smaller in stature than others out there. Getting some speed and laying out another player is right in Nash's ballpark. His bark and howl are heard all around the rink and you can even hear him in the bathrooms and stairwells. Especially his bark can make even the most fearless players flinch in fear and surprise. Showing those teeth and his low growl, nash licks his nose quite a few times while skating on over. Nash is not afraid to get in someones face, but even though Nash is quite the licker, he would never in his wildest dreams lick another player while out on the ice. Thats where he draws the line, nobody should ever have to deal with that.

One of the best parts of playing competitive sports is the mental aspect and the mind games. If you are able to get under the skin or in the head of your opponent, you can throw them off their gameplan and give yourself an advantage. As mentioned in the prompt, hockey has a lot of different players from different areas of the world which creates a language barrier. There are a couple things we do to get under their skin still. One time we hired a translator and put him behind the bench so whenever we started chirping we would have the translator relaying the information but then they wouldn't relay anything back so it was a one way channel. We also like to load up google translate or something similar and start practicing specific phrases we would say in specific scenarios as a team so we always had fresh chirps to throw at them.

Written Option 1: So you got good advice from discord and decided to spent most of your TPE on aggression and fighting.
Now your player wants to go and fight the star player on opposing team but you realize during the first period that they are tough as nails and wont be shaken by hard hits.
On top of that they barely seem to understand English. Yet your player knows better than to take instigation penalty on top of fighting, so how do they make the star player on other team mad?
Do they use sign language? Download a dualingo during the intermission? Hire a translator?It heavily depends on what languages they know. Niclas Sundqvist is a man of many talents, and being annoying is one of them. Luckily he's also somewhat of a linguistic genious, well, almost. The genious is simply limited to swears and insults in many different languages. As a Swede, he is more focused and developed in the surrounding countries and specifically Europe. Players that speak european languages, or at least some derivative of them is very easy to get something going because even the calmest person will eventually break with enough verbal insults. As for players outside of his comfort zone, he simply studies before the games to know how to get under their skin. A process that is evaluated after the game to see success rate and how it could be changed in the future. Of course, there is also the universal language of "many hits good, if opponent not angry more hits needed".

written option the second one
so binko has shared locker rooms with players of many cultures and nationalities over the years and really the biggest cultural impact that a player has had on him over those many years of his career is the culture of hot dog @hotdog insisting that he does not look the way that he does according to a picture that is widely circulated in the locker room while every one else like @micool132 and @Jepox insist correctly that hot dog does indeed look like the person in that picture because indeed he is the person in the picture. like imagine that meme of ben kenobi in star wars saying of course i know him thats me yeah that is hot dog with his picture and there is even an updated version of the picture floating around where hot dog has a beard because he now has grown a beard and it's still him like the beard is his beard so not sure what there is to deny

One of the greatest things about being a professional hockey player is the ability to travel, both across the continent during the season as well as all over the world for the IIHF tournament. That travel opens up so many doors to experience new places, people, and cultures, and with a wide variety of teammates from those places to guide you, you can quickly experience the best that every new city has to offer. Justin Time's first major "food culture" experience as a young player drafted to Quebec City was, of course, poutine, something that's quickly become a staple everywhere he's gone since. Since then, he's expanded his palate to include foods from across Europe and Asia, introduced by teammates or even opponents at post-game dinners and offseason events. Food has often been the quickest way to bridge the language barrier with new players, and as long as you're willing to try something new, you never know where you'll meet new friends.

Ubba Lodbrok is a gifted player in many ways, he grew up in the forests of Denmark, he played Juniors in the professional leagues in Finland, was able to get drafted to the Anchorage Armada of the Simulation Major Junior Hockey League, was a star out there, and then was drafted by the Philadelphia Forge of the Simulation Hockey League. During this time he has picked up many tricks and skills, he's learned how to sea kayak, how to pick a cheesesteak shop and defend it loyally until the end of time. One thing he's really bad at is trash talking during hockey, he plays with his physicality more than his oratory skills. However, his new pre-work out is getting him going and the only thing he can do is to get his mouth running and try to get the other team to fight him. So he gets really chirpy, but literally chirpy, he's chirping at the other players like various bird.

The Atlanta Inferno locker room is a true mixing pot of cultures from around the world! Jiggle E. Puff is the only pokemon on the team so he has a fantastic opportunity to educate the other players on the team about not only the Kanto culture, but the cultures of the other regions in the Pokemon world. The Americans are especially interested in learning about the Pokemon World, and love to come and visit Mr. Puff in the offseason.
Jiggle's favorite culture to learn about is that of the French Canadians. They are a very proud people who love speaking in French. Every time Jiggle attempts to learn some French, Micool makes fun of him and tells him to stick to speaking English. Jiggle will not be discouraged, however. He desires to become the best teammate possible and a large part of that is being able to communicate with everyone on the team.

Sad Ketchup is generally a boring person so being exposed to so many different cultures in the Simulation Hockey League has been good for Sad Ketchup. One thing Sad Ketchup has learned an taken from being exposed to a lot of cultures is that he enjoys Japanese food and is going to book a trip to Japan for next offseason. Over the years, Sad Ketchup has played with many players from Japan, and has been on teams like the Chicago Syndicate who have a lot of players from the Japanese IIHF team. He found he really enjoys a lot of the noodle dishes and skewers that Japan is known for, and obviously food that involves rice. When he goes to Japan next offseason he will do a food tour, as well as enjoy some martial arts like Judo/karate. Overall Sad Ketchup has found a love for Japanese culture and hopes to visit Japan soon. There are other wonderful cultures Ketchup has been exposed to but the Japanese really stuck with him.

The Minnesota locker room has many cultures and backgrounds to learn about. Although Kevin Kim is Canadian, he loves to learn about other cultures of his teammates. For example, one of his teammates history is from Switzerland, Kevin always wanted to know his childhood and how it differed from Kevin's perspective. Europeans were very interesting to learn from especially because of their difference of how they develop players and their playing styles. Playing in different ice than American could be a big change from what they played in their home country. Make it the size or the feel, foreign countries are very different and this is what Kevin wanted to learn from his European teammates. What interested Kevin the most was the Asian players which questioned Kevin how they got drafted and trained to get into the big leagues even after the small popularity of hockey in the Asian worldview.

This is exactly why I had so many pockets added to my uniform. I have so many gadgets and gizmos on my person during the game that there is noone who can avoid my players annoying methods. One of the most effective is the several pockets of sand. Which can be thrown at the players eyes for a quick getaway or if you throw a bunch at their feet it messes up their skates and makes them fall. In another pocket is many circles of black paper. These are puck sized pieces of paper so that when needed Hockey Player can throw one in the other direction in order to juke the player and get past them, or even better the goalie. If you combine the two so they go to get the piece of paper puck and then you pocket sand them there is no uncertainty that they will be absolutely flabbergasted and a goal is guaranteed .
