Option 1:
Five-Hole Sieve would, without hesitation, accept this offer to run a camp, and he'd run it in his home country of Malaysia. The Malaysian hockey scene is a niche one, but just as he made it to the next level, so can his fellow countrymen. It is said that Sieve would look to also bring his his idol and fellow Malaysian goalie Tengku Muhammad Azlly to help train the players at this camp. While it would have a special emphasis on how to be effective between the sticks, seminars about money management, contracts, interviewing, and the draft would be helpful to any would-be hockey pro. Additionally, having played other positions in their youth, Sieve and Azlly would incorporate drills to strengthen any player who goes out onto the ice. This would be a can't miss opportunity for the ice hockey players of Malaysia, and could take place in the capital city of Kuala Lumpur.

Detroit had a tough season last year and gave up a lot of goals. We all owned some of that failure. As defensemen, we need to put ourselves in the best position to prevent the offense from executing their plays. That’s priority #1 for us. For the forwards, their primary focus will always be to keep possession, while setting up the offense. The question then is what about backchecking and forechecking? Forechecking gives us an opportunity to collect a turnover before the other team can get into our defensive zone. However, it can put a forward out of position should they let the puck carrier get by them or get a pass by them. I think there is definitely room in the playstyle for a forechecker, but the way our team plays, we can really only afford it if everything else is already taken care of. We should be sure lines are getting a chance to change and fresh legs are out on the ice. Backchecking has a similar goal, forcing a turnover, however it puts the forwards in a better position should something go wrong. We are giving up some ice to the other team in order to pull this off, but maybe it can prevent some busted plays.

Louise St. Martin is doing her best to make sure that all hockey is welcomed, not just the select few in the SHL IIHF camp. But she's also a pragmatist that knows it needs to be somewhere where hockey exists and is cherished. No point in going if there's no demand, and all. So she has elected to take a check to run a camp in Slovenia, a small country that was once part of Yugoslavia. For starters, her native Switzerland has a pretty high population of Balkan expats (though mostly not from Slovenia), and Slovenia has a very strong hockey tradition. The issue in its competitiveness is that it is a fairly small country of only about 2 million, and while hockey is popular there it's not bigger than football or basketball. But there's enough kids that a camp is justifiable, and Louise hopes that they will some day launch an IIHF federation!

If Antarctica counts as a country then I'd certainly start a IIHF camp there. Even if it doesn't count as a country I'd still try to push for more recognition. There will be no need to build a skating rink to host the program since there will be plenty of ice to skate on. We could just draw some lines, set up nets, and get the camp running in no time. Every scientist currently working on the continent gets a free invite to participate at the camp since you never know if one of them could be a future SHL star. Everyone else who isn't currently a citizen of an IIHF nation is otherwise invited. They'll all get to band together and represent a neutral location, forming a diverse and and skilled new IIHF nation. Since the WJC is allowed to have teams that don't represent a single country then I see no reason as to why this idea couldn't be expanded to the IIHF.

As a forward the best thing my player can do it be in position and be ready to attack the puck carrier. Sad Ketchup is a offensive first player but he does know where to be and attack the puck carrier/the ability to know where the puck is going to go. In an ideal world the forward are back checking and attacking the puck carrier or have the hockey IQ to know where to be in the defensive zone. A good forward gets back and gets into position in the defensive zone, now they may not always be able to defend, but being in the position to potentially get the puck back is important. I am sure it would be nice for forwards to put their bodies on the line blocking the shots but sometimes that is not ideal as it creates chaos, screens and just puts them out of position. The forwards really need to be in position to potentially win the puck and or be in position to attack the puck carrier to win possession back for the team. If they're not in position, then they are not doing their jobs correctly.

Option 2:
As a goalie, there are two things in life that are certain: your defensemen will let you down, and you can't win a game if your offense doesn't score any goals. The first is just a fact of life (but don't tell the defense this, or they'll get lazy and complacent), but the second one we can do something about. After watching many failed offensive zone entries from his own crease, Justin Time had plenty of words for his forwards during the offseason. Of the ones deemed appropriate for all audiences, the focus was primarily on maintaining possession and trying to simplify the game. We've all seen games where a winger, in an attempt to find the fanciest pass possible, throws the puck across the slot backwards toward the far side defenseman, only to lose it to one of the three opposing players waiting in the crowded middle of the ice. Time's advice: don't do that! Just shoot the puck, find the rebound, and score some goals!

Option 2:
The main thing that Willow wants the forwards with San Francisco to do is to pass her the puck so that she can get all of the points that she possibly can. Is that a bit selfish? Yeah maybe, but after years of blocking shots for Regina she's ready to score goals and quarterback the power play. It's what she was put on this planet to do after all. The other thing that she's talking with the San Francisco forwards about is that she needs them to actually play defense and not just blindly hang out at the red line waiting for a breakout pass. Willow is known for making it clear what she wants and is determined to get her way, so hopefully chewing out the lackluster defense will kickstart this team to success. Of course the issues start at the top with a certain GM who supports goal hanging and no backchecking.

Option 1:
Max has always taken pride in being a two way player even if his main goal on the ice is to help his linemates put the puck in the back of the opponent's net with his stellar vision on the ice and absolutely brilliant passing. One of Max's strongest traits and what he himself describes as his best trait when it comes to playing defense is his perseverance. He simply never gives up on a play. Whether it's during a battle along the boards for possession of the puck or racing back into the defensive zone to help during an odd man rush, Max takes an immense amount of pride in always putting in the extra effort needed to be a reliable teammate. While his game in the SHL in general is still under development, he sees a lot of possible improvement in the coming seasons to help out Tampa's D pairings he'll be sharing the ice with. Some of the areas where he sees room for improvement is to use his big frame to throw more hits and checks as well as using his longer stick for stick checking. In addition, he'd like to work on his positioning and eventually get his defensive vision in line with his ability to read the play on offense. One of Max's goals in his career is to always be in contention for a Jeff Dar Trophy.
