Philadelphia has a rich hockey history (both in the SHL and the NHL!). Mary Hollywood is, comparatively, a relatively minor figure in both fields. Nonetheless, if Mayor Parker were to choose to honor Mary somewhere in Philadelphia, there are several suitable options for her. The first is to name the popcorn machines in the Fashion District movie theater after Mary. This would be fitting, as Mary is Philadelphia’s favorite popcorn-guzzling daughter. The second tremendous option would be to throw Mary’s name on one of the many newsstands around the city. Why is this? Is it because Mary is incredibly well read and loves to catch up on current events? No. It is because plenty of them sell vapes and cigs. Nobody loves vapes and cigs like Mary. Thirdly, and perhaps the grandest of them all, would be to build a monument to her in Love Park. Preferably right next to the LOVE sign. Except, in this case, it would read MARY.

In the last home game of the season, my player scored a hat trick to mount the unbelievable comeback to win the game in overtime versus one of the their team's biggest rivals. They begin to start their celebration by being swarmed by their teammates and congratulated on a great performance. After this, he will get the first star of the night award and proceed to be interviewed for the post game show. While being interviewed the fans start shouting MVP MVP MVP and he thanks them for the chants. My player would also go to talk about how this type of game would of not been possible with out the support from his teammates, coaching staff, equipment crews, and each and every fan who cheers on this team as we all play for the fans he said. Without the fans none of this would be possible and he dedicates this performance to them.

Option 1:
First thing Roger would want is the private jet the mayor flies on to be named after him. It's a bit of an odd pick but it's really the only way to capitalize on the air travel motif he likes.
You aren't going to step over established airport norms to get your name. It'd be like O'Hare being renamed Jammin Airport, it just can't happen. Then the other option would be to have the latest jumbo jet to be named after him, think the WestJet "Murdock" Dreamliner. Has a good ring to it, right? It would if the plane was actually related to the city but good luck going to a random airline and saying, "Hey guys you wanna name a plane after this rookie? It'd mean a lot to us thanks." Then you're getting to the territory of small airports technically in city bounds, or small little passenger planes that people will laugh at like, "cool our sunglasses got delivered by the Roger Murdock Package Plane." Have to settle for the private jet at that point, especially if there's a chance to ride it

Emeric Gagner is typically a very reserved player both on and off the ice, and does his best to not let his emotions get the better of him. In fact, it is this focus and determination that allowed him to keep his head in the game when his team went down 4-2 in their last home game of the season. He really wanted to give his fans something to feel good about to close out the season, so he put his head down and scored a natural hattrick to win the game in overtime.
His celebrations are often quite muted, but given the occasion, he let his emotions run wild. After scoring the game winner, he gathered some speed and slid all the way down the ice in a manner similar to that famous Theo Fleury celebration. As his teammates came to join him, he immediately went back to his normal self. He got up from the ice and skated right to his bench to go back to the dressing room, happy with the end result.

if my boi Marian Hanak scores a hat trick to win the game coming back from 4-2 he would probably taunt the opposition fans and he would celebrate with his teammates he is not used to scoring hat tricks so when he scored his first career hat trick he gathered so much excitement from the fans they threw 100% of the hats in the stands. One of his goals was a one-timer, the second goal was a datsyuk masterpiece, and his hat-trick/game winning goal was a ugly bounce off the opposition's defense. In the post game interview he told reporters that he couldn't believe it and in the moment it felt so heart racing to get the winner and his first career hat trick.It wasn't every day you get a situation like this to talk about,but he handled it like a mature captain like he is.

Option 2:
After scoring the game-winning goal in overtime Matiss does the heartbreaker celebration while skating back toward his teammates to celebrate. Matiss usually isn’t one for elaborate celebrations usually just a down to one knee fist pump, but after having scored a hat trick with the game-winning goal being in overtime against the rivals that celebration deserves to have some flair and excitement to it. After the individual celebration then it becomes a pile up with the teammates, celebrating the win. After the game is when the fans would get addressed. During a three star celebration Matiss is the first star due to the hat trick and the game-winning goal and celebrates with the fans by throwing three autographed pucks for the amount of goals he scored into the stands for three lucky fans to have. During the press conferences after the game, the media gets addressed by acknowledging the team, and how well they played to have a come from behind victory to win the game in overtime and that he couldn’t have done that without him.

The mayor of Hodor's home town would most likely be considered the Lord of Winterfell, Ned Stark. He'd be happy to let something be named after Hodor, as long as it was smallish in terms of importance. It's highly unlikely that anything in Winterfell has been named for some kind of hockey thing already, so he'll have free reign over all the eligible places but is still restricted by importance. Hodor likes birds so maybe he'll choose the rookery where all the ravens are cared for, the HodoRookery. Hodor is a big fan of birds, after all. The ceremony would be a few ravens hovering in the air holding a long ribbon, then Hodor would lean out of a window and cut the ribbon with the Stark family's sword, Ice. He'd have to be careful not to fall out or hit any birds with the big honking sword he's got.

It seems fitting that they name the new senior center after Slip McScruff. He can come by and teach hockey classes in the offseason to supplement his veteran minimum salary that he takes home from the SHL. However, he has to hold no contact classes for the safety of all those involved (especially himself, new hips are expensive on the fourth or fifth go around).
Luckily, the opening ceremony is held in late May and Slip hasn't been tied up in a playoff game for at least a simulation decade. Even better, Slip has his own room reserved for when he eventually retires, so he can crash there after drinking a bit too much at the grand opening (catered by Chipotle, not a sponsor).
Last but not least is the statue. All the fans of Slip's illustrious SMJHL career are now aged into the target audience here, so we commissioned a statue of an exceedingly young Captain Slip McScruff of the Scarecrows.

Emile have a special way to celebrate after a goal and it's because of the the players he watched during his childhood.
In hockey, one of the only way you can express freely yourself is after scoring a goal. You can scream, run into the board, embrace your teammates or make a celebration.
Emile like to do the "sword" or the "Radulov" one, even in the NHL game they have it. Don't really know why but it's really nice to do and to watch.
Scoring three goals to come back and win the game, so after the last one I ran into the bench and jump on my teammates that went completely crazy! It's not everyday that you scored three consecutive goals to give the victory to your team so you have to make a big celebration after that.
In the room with everyone and when talking to the press, it's important to you enjoy the moment and smile!

The city has finally decided that it’s time to immortalize Trevor lahey eh? Well Trevor thinks it about time. But unfortunately just about all the hockey related places or things are named after some of the greats! Fortunately for the city, trevor already has a place picked out, the city’s famous chicken finger restaurant. He’s pulling a page out of Post Malones book. Besides money and hockey, his only other love in this world is are the best chicken fingers in the world. It helps that he already has a sponsorship with this restaurant, so they are 100 percent behind giving him a restaurant themed around him. The store will have a bronze statue of Trevor outside and the store will have old hockey equipment of Trevor’s all around the store like a museum. Lastly all the combos will have been named by Trevor, those names are still tbd, but the chicken finger site will easily become the best selling location of all time, or that’s what Trevor believes anyway.

Agenti is a defenseman so he is very rare to score but if he where too score 3 goals in a row he would probably skate a lap around the rink pounding his chest and yelling at the top of his lungs. Any fan who would do it after the game he’d point at them and give them the big dk thumbs up. During the conference after he would talk about how it was such an honor to be able to help his team so much keeping his chill and laid back attitude off the ice and thanking his opponents for the difficult game as their rivals always make sure to keep them on their toes and always promise them a close neck and neck game. He would also make sure that he was eating a do banana to help advertise for his uncle plus he just really enjoys how good they are so it is also a genuine after game treat for him.
