Being a recent callup, Ragnar has yet to really set himself up financially to be a homeowner in San Fransisco, knowing this the team has a program in place for first season rookies where the team owns a number of apartments downtown in and around the arena for rookies to share until they are ready to be out there on their own. Going into season 69 Ragnar and Caleb Hayden are sharing an apartment until they can each save up some money to safely start looking at places around town. The apartments are smartly located within a couple blocks of the arena so everything players could wish for are a few minutes walk away. The principal mode of transport for most young pride members is a bike because of the proximity to everything. This gives players the ability to access the arena, training facilities, medical facilities, restaurants and anything else they could possibly want.

Klaes loves Vancouver so he spends his time there even when he's not playing during the season. He is a huge television buff and when he learned that quite a few shows are filmed here, he decided to get an apartment the same place that all the actors do. His dream after he's done with hockey is to go into acting and he has been trying to network in that regard. Even when he starts playing in Tampa Bay in a few seasons he will probably still keep his place in Vancouver. He's not big on the heat or humidity and Tampa Bay has that in spades, so it's not his cup of tea. He will obviously get a place in Tampa Bay. He's a bit of a wrestling fan and a lot of wrestlers live down there too so he might try to track them down. They love that apparently. But his apartment isn't much to write home about, just a single bedroom with the usual kitchen, living room, and bathroom. He's a bit of a loner but he's been working on that.

Hamilton steelhawks are well known for having a greeat and cool city surrounding the town and all of that comes down to good planning and even better building. tommy westbrook but this time i upd is also well on the look out for looking for things to fill out the city so that it feels like a nice and well down place to live and have fun every night that you are out on the town. because who does not want to be out and about in a busy place with so many things to do. ideally there is lots of bars for drinking and talking to people and then later on there is a lot of arcades so you can go and get a couple of games in with your friends and have fun all night long without having to leave the city once. hamilton is so beautiful and so are the people.

Quote:PLAYER PROMPT- I've asked about your players' hometowns and summer homes and all that stuff before, but I don't think I've ever asked about where you all stay during the actual season!

Written Task: So where do you live while the season is actually going on? In a condo near the arena? Is your current team the place you've been for a long time? Do you have a permanent home there? Either way, what does it look like? What kind of living situation does your player prefer and why? If they've been traded or signed to a new team or moved from the SMJHL to the SHL at any point, talk about what the move was like! How did they go about choosing a new place to live? (150+ words)

Since being drafted to Manhattan, Anton Harrier has been living in a former warehouse on the outskirts of New York City proper, where he then decided to use most of the space for a skatepark that he regularly uses with or without his friends. He then has rooms for himself, his friends and the eventual area for family members. Currently, he's been living with his fiancée, a sister of former Winnipeg Aurora, Baltimore Platoon and San Francisco Pride player Yoshimitsu McCloud.

According to himself, now that he contemplates retirement on an ever-so-closer horizon, Anton noted that he'd likely stay in the region as he was able to buy the ownership of the place and there's a reasonable chance he might turn it into a regular skatepark for local to use though he admitted to not being so sure about it as "he'd need a place to live anyway".

Goddamn where do I even begin with this. I don't know fucking shit about how to plan a city, that was not my area of expertise. The only things I know are that highways are absolutely destructive outside of their intended purpose which is interstate travel, so we need to cut down on how expansive they are in our cities. In addition, we also have too many fucking parking lots. Like holy shit we need to get better at downsizing how much space we have for parking because a lot of it ends up being completely useless and could be better utilized. So I think for me that means that if John Brown was to design an area for their hockey arena, it would result in a bit more of a green and sustainable environment that would be beneficial for all involved as opposed to some sort of metropolitan concrete asphalt monstrosity that kills the planet. Less parking lots, more trees and plants, and more actually usable environments for the people

Creative Prompt

The perfect arena neighborhood is going to be centered around night life and fund things to do before, during, and after the game. This will include a large food hall that will have a variety of different sit down, nice restaurants and a food hall across the street that has a variety of fast casual food for those on the go. The second floor of both of these massive buildings will be a ton of seating space and a variety of bars. Other amenities will include a live music venue, an archery range, and a small casino. Of course, there will have to be a variety of massive bars and clubs for fans and the players themselves to go to after a game. The whole neighborhood will be called the Lions Den. A new public transit system is going to be built all throughout the city with all subways leading towards the Lions Den.

Creative Prompt - Written Task (156 Words)

The area around the home stadium for the Tampa Bay Barracuda needs to be able to facilitate one thing and one thing only: be ready for a fight. The fact is, fighting has been down around the league for many seasons now, and there need to be facilities to encourage fights. Restaurants? All Waffle Houses where players can fight sleep-deprived. The big park next to the stadium? All little league fields for the parents of the league to duke it out. Other entertainment facilities? How about a bounce-house facility with nothing but inflatable boxing rings? The more we spark competition and combat out of the rink, the more we will inspire it in the rink. This is not a plan for just the city of Tampa Bay, but for the league as a whole; I hope this inspires other owners to develop the land around their stadiums in order to increase the only stat that matters.

The most critical item to be located near an arena is some of of transit hub or station. This will help ensure that people can easily travel to games without needing to drive, opening up the audience to a wider audience, and more importantly encourages the use of sustainable modes of transportation. Having more people take transit to games also decreases the need to provide parking, which is extremely expensive and an inefficient use of land. The arena should also be located in a vibrant, dense, and mixed use neighbourhood to allow people to easily get where they need, whether that's a restaurant, pub, hotel, or even home just by walking. This also helps liven up the neighborhood compared to a dead, monotonous single use area. The team should also have some sort of practice facility, whether that's attached to the arena or just located nearby to ensure all team services are located in the same general area.

PLAYER PROMPT

During the off season I live in my hometown of Marseille, France. I have a chateau along the waterfront where I stay with my girlfriend. It is a far more beautiful and cultured corner of the Earth than Newfoundland. During the summer I like to practice my boxing with my coach Claude. I have trained with him since I was 12. Sometimes I enter amateur fights, but my GM told me I was no longer allowed to enter fights in the off season. So now I must enter under a fake name so as to not get in trouble. Each morning I ride my blacked out Vespa to the local bakery and pick up the finest Baguette in all of France to eat for breakfast. Nothing beats the food in France, another thing that Newfoundland can't compete with. This past year I started my own charity foundation back home, to help the youngsters in France learn hockey. My hope is that I get more French players into the SHL.

I would create a vibrant, mixed-use development that integrates the arena seamlessly into the surrounding community. The development would include a variety of housing options, from affordable apartments to luxury condos, as well as retail spaces, restaurants, and other amenities. I would also incorporate green spaces and public plazas to create a sense of community and encourage foot traffic. The design would be modern and sustainable, utilizing energy-efficient technologies and materials. Overall, the goal would be to create a lively, walkable neighbourhood that enhances the experience of visiting the arena while also providing a sense of community for residents and visitors alike.

People like to feel a sense of belonging. While we will all never truly feel the same, a true, strong community is built off of shared values but different personalities. I believe my vision would intergrade the "modern city" while maintain true to mother nature. And of course there would be a massive hockey arena in the middle of the mega city!

I think the most important thing would have to be to have a very nice hotel for the away teams. With that comes with a very nice restaurant and a very fancy lounge area to have a drink around.
Then with that, I think a club and a bar that is happening would have to be very fun. Imagine if you play a game and win a game and right near the arena there’s a good night club. So you can have your stuff at the arena and then walk over and boom, you have a nice place to party and a safe place to party where people in the city know to go and celebrate with professional athletes.
Other than that, I think having places like sports restaurants to watch the game and to have an ambiance to travel to the arena. Like in Toronto ti watch the game in the downtown of the city of the sports teams.
