I do not follow the social media since I am popular. I do not want to see the positive but also not the negative ones. My focus is on me and only on myself for the hockey and my family. In my opinion this turned out to a big shithole today. it is the same for the press. To fast and easy they can change the opinion about someone and without cyber police they can do it with intention. Many humans feel really bad psychological because of that crap. They never got teached how to work with it and that is in my opinion the main problem for the humans today. They are nearly 4-10 hours, it depends, on the mobile phone and dont know what happens in the real world. not even understand how the real life works. I try to teach my daughter about social media and mobile phones, but that is not easy anymore. because talk topic number one is mostly social media today. also other things on or with the mobile phone. I am not against the science and step forwards on topics like technical tools. but software based we should have better and savior rules in the world with different steps about the ages. That is only my opinion as singlefather.

During Calm Chickens time at the Yukon Malamutes he played most seasons with the same linemate, exception for the final one where his linemate got called up to the majors a bit early. But in the major league it changed quite a bit, firstly he got the call up to the Edmonton Blizzards, but after half a season he did not just get a new linemate, but a fully new team in the Buffalo Stampede. In here he got matches up with the top defender on the top, until the defender got traded away 1.5 seasons later. But now in the more recent seasons a bit more consistency was found, and the defensive pairing of Chicken and Gablogian has gotten time to bloom, although Chicken sometimes is still on the ice without Gablogian when the time calls for it, mostly due to powerplays. But even then the team has been relatively stable for the past few seasons, with some new young talent being drafted into the team to try and get the team back to the success it had before Chicken joined.

Elvar Gil-Galad has never been a huge fan of media or any kind of social media but that doesn’t mean he is not aware when the public are mentioning him or the team as a whole. There is always chatter in the locker room about the buzz around the campfire as they say. Sometimes a team mate will show him a post or a meme but truthfully, Elvar is very literal and often does not get the joke. But, still his team mates try to get him involved, even if he ends up being the butt of the joke due to his innocence of the internet.
Sometimes the Coaches will bring in some stats based on fan feedback as a method of coaching to the players. Little things like a player gets busted swearing in front of a group of kids, or picking his nose when the cameras are on. Or licking his nostrils cause he’s a big dumb oaf. Lots of things that do ill to the teams public relations.

All through the day Abbe Wass keeps his phone battery charged, just in case someone important needs to get a hold of him. but more often he uses the phone to check his different accounts on all the social media platforms that exist. for a period of time it was even a problem, so nowadays he has a roof on how much time he can check social media. It still is well over 5 hours a day. but it is an improvement. Luckily for Abbe he does not take things personally, so all the trolls and bad people who write negative stuff only gets him the fuel to keep up the practice and become better.
Luckily there are more positives than negatives, but the ones that he remembers are negative. As is the way the memory works.
The most use of social media Abbe Wass has is all the DMs that slides in. Not only does he appreciate it, he takes advantage of it. especially when it's one of the opponents wifes.

Agent Tesla: Well the honest answer to your first question Miriam is that Dave is not allowed to use the internet. Mostly because of the fact that I do not want him to get bogged down in the frankly ridiculous fan conversations surrounding his play, but also because I just do not want him to be distracted from the game by all of the copious cat pictures on the internet. Did you know there are entire websites with gigabytes worth of cat pictures? He could be scrolling for days and not reach the end of them!
Miriam: Okay next question.
Agent Tesla: Most of what I have seen at least has been positive, but admittedly given how I have handled negative talk of my other players that might be more out of fear of me than out of genuine belief in how Dave is playing. Who could say at this point?
Miriam: Alarming third question.
Agent Tesla: The closest Dave comes to interacting with internet media is by signing autographs for the kids I would say. We always want to treat the fans of the game well, but especially the young fans for whom the game means so much more.
Miriam: Nice last question.
Agent Tesla: Well as stated he is not allowed to use the internet so he does not start these conversations himself, and while I do have an active social media presence it is mostly used to talk about music. So no we try to leave the fans to their spaces. Thank you!

Hampus was never really on social media growing up, he always looked at it as a negative thing that just made people feel bad about themselves. Well all these years later now that he's a (somewhat) famous professional athlete nothing has really changed. He's tried being on social media for a bit to promote himself and the team, it was a very hockey focused account with nothing too personal on there. At some point he stopped after it just because too much. A lot of people calling him names like Buckethead, garbage bin, linty. It was exhausting to see and not worth the mental strain, stuff like that can be a distraction to the game. These days his main interactions with fans these days are on the streets of Newfoundland (which he loves doing), everyone is much nicer in person. His only interaction with social media these days is when he pitches jokes to the guy that runs the team account but he never actually looks to see how well the post did.

Right now, Pohler Beargeron is enjoying playing with TheGreatOne and Emeric Gagner. These two elite wingers allow him to use his size to his advantage for both offense and defense. Some of the success can be attributed to chemistry, as Gagner came from the Kelowna Knights in the same deal that brought Beargeron to the Newfoundland Berserkers. TheGreatOne is a stellar winger that just fits seamlessly with both of the Kelowna cast aways. It is super impressive for me to see that TheGreatOne has made a massive jump in his production thus far, going from 47 points last season to 93 this season. Additionally, Gagner jumped from 64 points up to 81 this season. The Berserkers have been an awesome team to join this year, and Beargeron and his linemates surely have Four Star Cup aspirations in mind as soon as the SMJHL playoffs begin later on this week. It’s Beargeron’s last season in the J, so he is hoping to go out on top, alongside some awesome linemates.

Every defenseman in the league wants their defensive partner to compliment their strengths and cover for their weaknesses, and thankfully for RIP THUNDERDOME 2013-2023, his defensive partner on the Tampa Bay Barracuda has been one of the best defensemen in the league for the past few seasons. For the past 2 years, RIP THUNDERDOME 2013-2023 has skated alongside J(longname) DuBolk, who has won both a biscuit for the best defensive dman, and a stevens for the best overall dman. Over the past 2 seasons the two have developed great chemistry. DuBolk is the more defensively sound of the two and carries the load in the defensive zone. This allows THUNDERDOME to focus on his strengths which is puck movement and point shooting. DuBolk will start the breakout by retrieving the puck, will send it to THUNDERDOME who will break the puck out using his passing or skating abilities. Its a very effective duo.

Aslak doesn’t spend much time on social media. He’s never been the attention-seeking type or the kind of person who cares to share much of his personal life. He’d rather mind his own business, going through life focusing on his own challenges, goals, and aspirations.
Staying off social media is also helpful for Aslak in keeping his mind clear of distraction. Whether it be haters on social media or just the latest social media firestorm that might have nothing to do with hockey, Aslak prefers to stay in the moment rather than concerning himself with what is happening in the digital world.
It’s certainly a challenge at times, if for no other reason than Aslak is always the last to know of the latest fun trends and memes. He sometimes gets some good-natured ribbing from his teammates for being out of the loop, but he takes that in stride and considers it much better than the alternative of losing sleep about things people say that he can’t control.

Written Option 1: Hockey is ultimate teamsport and who you are on ice with often can be more impactful than your own skill to the end results. So who are your players linemates, defensive pair or other half of the goalie tandem? Have they been playing together for long and reached very high chemistry or are they still building towards that? Do they help out each other during the practice? Do they spend time with each other outside of the rink or is it strictly professional relationship?
Sven Panda keeps mostly to himself. He doesn’t interact much with his teammates around him. There’s nothing wrong with them in fact he likes them all but he’s mostly focused on other sports. He has had a lot of different defense tandems and he is aging out of the sport mostly. He hasn’t fought aging much so his investment of the sport has waned. He does the training necessary and does show up when he’s called upon but mostly he’s lost focus. In fact outside of practice and games he doesn’t interact with the rest of the crew very much. He’s never been a star and always been a role player. He’s had a lot of people he’s played with so chemistry has never been that high for him. He occasionally gets meals with the team after wins but that is the extent. He keeps to himself during the offseason too, doing his own training and work separate from the rest of the team. Again nothing against his team he’s just been a bit jaded.

I think Pinli is one of those sickos that is like, fully involved in everything said about him online, but not overtly. Like he isn't a Marchand type that's chirping on his main account with anyone who has something bad to say-- no no! Pinli has a legion of fake accounts, alt accounts, etc. that he can log in to to defend himself / gas himself up. If he scores a big goal, you'd better believe he's logging in to his "mostinsaneshlclips" account and posting like "this is THE GREATEST play i've EVER SEEN! watch till the END!" and then smiling to himself on the plane ride as the admiration rolls in. Then he's logging on to like "davebigtruck905" to troll the subreddit of the team that they just beat. He's going into the ATL subreddit like "lmao switchbang owns you 1 goal 1 assist he's a stud. inferNO cup since 66 washed franchise". What's the point of having crazy influence over a game that people are rabid about if you can't stoke the flames a bit you know? The sport psychologist always says he needs to stop but for now, if it ain't broke don't fix it!

Ubba Lodbrok, center for the Philadelphia Forge of the Simulation Hockey League and former player for the Anchorage Armada of the Simulation Major Junior Hockey League and a representative of the Finnish National Team, has been centering his line for the past three seasons. Even though he's been in the league for four seasons, he's had his two line mates with him for 3 seasons now. Playing with Marek Carda and Leonard Wood has been a dream come true for the Danish forward. Since they've been playing together for the last 3 seasons, they've all had seasons where they've improved. Marek Carda, a 4th year player, has put up a record year putting up 27g 38a for 65 points tota, making it a career year for himself this season. Leonard Wood, a third season player also got themselves a career year this season. Leonard Wood put up 17g 39a for a total of 56 points for the season. Meanwhile, Ubba Lodbrok put himself in a great position for his career year putting up 33g 55a for 88 points.

Johnny FourStar often partakes in every luxury known to man. Fancy caviar. Fast cars. Imax movies. But one thing he completely, 100% abstains from is the social media. That's right, you won't find Johnny on any of the big sites like MySpace, Myyearbook, or MyWordVomit. No siree. He's completely off the grid. And he likes it that way. People have too many opinions these days. What's the point? I say let them talk. Johnny does this not because he's mentally weak, but because he is mentally strong! He doesn't need to know what HockeyBro19204 thinks about his recent game against the Renegades. Johnny knows how he played. And Johnny knows what he needs to get better. Social media is a poison to the mind, and Johnny takes care of his mentals by not logging in in the first place. Who needs social media when you have good friends, that's what he says.
