The TV executive looks Friedensreich Hundertwasser in the eye, immediately realising he is standing with greatness. So Hundertwasser... Where are the specters this season? What are their strengths? Their weaknesses? Why should people be excited?
Well, Mr TV man. New Orleans are a homegrown team, filled with a variety of young and old talent.
We have a bunch of guys just reaching their peak with names like Doom and Kaupinnen.
We've got a great core of 4 who are coming into their own with Myself, Boyle, Olson & Zidane.
And most importantly we have 3 top quality youngsters in Hale, Kroustis and believe it or not Zadina. He may have been playing a few seasons already but he's still very young.
Our main strength though, is our incredible one - two punch at goalkeeper with Arc & the bear himself Byrnison.
Weaknesses? Psh, what weaknesses we are on our way back to playoffs this season and possibly beyond.

Listen up, the Atlanta Inferno are the team you want to cover for this season. They have been overachieving for some seasons now where they ought to suck and tank, but made the playoffs in each and every season, and also made some occassional splashes there. The team only grows stronger, as their young core is rapidly growing to powerhouses and will set the league on fire soon. Additional to that, they also got a big free agency acquisition with Burlok Sulfurgold, who joined from the powerhouse Texas Renegades. He is a leader that will help grow the young team members into leaders and will go ahead as one of the studs of the team. Last season, Anton Mihailov already showed what he has in him, with leading the league in fantasy point ranking. Since then, he only got stronger. On defense there is also a young and upcoming team, lead by Michael Withecheck and a duck, additionally with last season trade addition of Jay Sink and the one and only Agnes McPipe eighteen or whatever. Some old bums are still on the team, but they are needed to fill up the roster and round out the team.
Elizabeth Doyle is someone who doesn't enjoy the spotlight more than that. As she is native from outside of north america, the big showbiz culture is still something that surprise her every time she sees something going on in the locker room. This season, they decided to make a show on the Buffalo Stampede and it blow her mind to have even MORE camera in the locker room after each games. She does her best to ignore them, but she knows when they are taking shot of her. It's not subtle to have a camera put in your face. Fortunately for her, there's always one of her teammate ready to jump in the spotlight and distract the show team when they get too busy around her, especially after a bad game or something. She knows she can count on her teammates and leadership group to protect her when it's needed. The rest of the time, she can get away with just saying the same corporate bullshit she's been trained to say.
Long John Donair hasn’t been a stranger to media attention, especially in the last year or so with the emergence of his Los Angeles Panthers getting all the way to the Challenge Cup Finals. While he knows that it would be a compelling story to have him and his fellow draft classmates be profiled as they try to follow up that performance, it’s not necessarily on the front of his mind. Even through high school and his NA3HL experiences in Milwaukee, he would be sought out to be profiled and always politely decline. “I don’t think I have all that much to say,” commented Donair after a practice skate last Wednesday. “I mean i play hockey, and im thrilled im on a good team, I just don’t like expanding on those ideas beyond, yknow, what I tell the press post game or whenever I get a first star. I don’t need to be seen besides right after when I do something good. That’s a solid media relationship if you ask me, especially here in LA.”
Alex is definitely a bit on the introverted side so he would not be seeking out the camera. However, always the team player, if the team has decided they're participating in a show he'll be a part of it. He'll be friendly for interviews and ultimately do whatever is asked of him. Additionally, he's always looking for an excuse to cook so he'd probably do his part to help keep the film crew fed. Beef stroganoff is a great dish that you can easily cook for a crowd, so it's quite likely he'd want to introduce the crew (along with anyone on the team who hasn't had it yet) to his mother's secret recipe. He just wants to make sure that everyone is happy and well fed. Ultimately, that's the most important stuff to Alex. It'd be nice if the Pride was able to get a deep playoff run this season (he's been waiting a long time to get out of the first round) but nothing's more important than being happy and well fed. I mean, that's just how he was brought up.

Prompt 1
Mr. Executive, let me tell you about the history of the Detroit Falcons and the resurgence that is currently ongoing. We have been around since season 5 of the SHL and used to be a feared team in the league. We had Four Star Cup victories in S5, S9, S23, S34, S37 and S53 to go along with 11 division titles. Some of the biggest names in the SHL came through Detroit on their way to greatness. Anton Mihailov, Ty Murphy and Zoltan Topalo just to name a few. While Detroit has had a few rough few seasons, most notably the 5 win season just 2 seasons ago, there has been a lot of movement and hype around the new management and players currently in Detroit. Following up a 20 game season, we are already off to a hot start and playing close against the best teams in the league. Expect this season to turn a lot of heads in the league. Dare I even say a chance to win it all.
Ok mister Executive, here is the show pitchup : Atlanta Inferno or how I learned to love i'm gonna win the cup. It's a TV show filming our daily lives as palyers and our routine to gametime. We acquired Burlok SulfurGOALd this off-season to bring us up a notch upwards. Our roster is growing into their roles and are better than ever without any sign of regression abound. Pavel Jeziak, the world heaviest pre-game drinker (beer) is known to play drunk hockey. Sometimes he good sometimes he bad, but he always entertain. We have old crusty Dick Clapper, Eko van Nutter and Gabe the gwod johnson ranting aobut their old days and refusing to give up their roster spot. We have Reno trying to become the starting goalie and provides the horny uncle vide in the locker room, sure to make a good tv show with maybe a couple romance stories. The show would feature interviews inside a rollercoaster, filming sleeping players for live stream broadcast with the option to give donations that may be heard by the sleeping player. A guaranteed success.
This high powered TV executive is going to be putting his career on the line if he wants to start filming about the Edmonton Blizzard this season. Maybe I shouldn't be so harsh, the team has lots of young players full of personality and everyone likes to have fun. Just the product on the ice has been dismal for the past couple seasons and when it comes to this season its no different. The content of the show would have to be all off ice stuff.
However, if the streaming service isnt going to be ready until next year then now would be a neat little inside scoop on the making of one of the greatest non Hamilton teams to win the Challenge Cup. By the time the show would air, the Edmonton Blizzard will be a storm no one will want to brave. The show could really highlight how close knit the locker room and the chemistry that goes on behind closed doors. It could tell the tale of the development of all the young guns on this team and how they will treat the league like fodder.

Player Promp
Valérian Sauveterre is a player more comfortable in the back ground that in the spotlight. He would rather be in the spotlight by showing how hard he works in private. He also also not the most talkative player and is a great listener. But he isn't as opposed to the being the center of attention as you think. His just remains being himself no matter if cameras are rolling or not. Of course that it his own style of entertaining. When he does speak, it is usually insightful and/or hilarious. He also is not opposed to pranks. He love to jump scare his teammates. Nothing harmful or destructive. He also likes the pretend to work a day job trick. He does also have some French nicknames for opponents. He also runs a Twitch channel where he played his favorite games. Sometimes his teammates drop by for an extra special time.
