S77 PT #0: Call me again when the season starts Due: Sunday, June 9th @ 11:59 PM PST

Written Option 1: Your player has been enjoying their well deserved rest until they get the call from their general manager that they need to do some marketing or take part in meet and greet, something not related to hockey. But it would be just so nice to keep golfing and drinking mojitos or whatever they like. If your player doesn’t want to go, how they convince their general manager that what they are doing is too important to be interrupted or they cannot attend the event because of some factors out of their control? Or are they always ready to take part in these events and be the face of the franchise, even if their teammates need to skip it because they apparently just flew to Australia to meet their cousin and their passport was stolen by Kangaroos. What does your player do and how does it go?
 
 
Alexandros is a training freak in the offseason prepping himself to be ready for the season to come and likely would have been close to missing the call at all. Despite Alexandros near fanatical need to practice and train before the start of a season he would not turn down a call to bring good press for the team as a whole. With a smile on his face and his best suit on would go out to greet his and Chicago’s fans in preparation for the season with no complaint. The fans are the backbone of the team and their dedication to show up to every game and cheer them on there is no way he would turn down the opportunity to show his gratitude for all of them. He knows that many may think this is a tedious task and he understands their stance and wouldn’t blame another for turning it down but he would also do his best to convince teammates to join even if only briefly and he believes it will be a good team building exercise that will go well. :D

Prompt 2

As the end of the offseason nears, and team training camp is only a few weeks away, Julians preparation turns to mental readiness, and recovery. Having kept his physical condition up over the summer, the mental part of the game and making sure his body is fully recovered for the start of the season will be crucial in setting the tone and determine how well Julian will perform when he's back on the ice with the team

Mental toughness is a cornerstone of a successful hockey season. As training camp approaches, Julian focuses on visualization exercises, as imagining game scenarios and successful plays helps him mentally prepare for the season and can enhance his decisionmaking when under pressure.

While it might seem counterintuitive, adequate rest is essential. In the weeks leading up to the start of the season, Julian ensures he gets enough sleep and incorporates recovery techniques like ice baths, massages, and yoga to keep his body in optimal condition.

Lastly, Julian likes to spend some quality time with family and friends before diving into the busy world of SHL hockey and being away for most of the time. Knowing his family is always there to come back to keeps him happy and gives a feeling of security on the long trips to away games.

Option 1:

For the most part, fans are kinda stupid and lame so I really don't wanna deal with them. On the flip side though, we are in Vegas, so you already KNOW it's time for some gambling with the fans. I can even leverage my fame to get people to give me money to bet with, and then not share the winnings with them it's honestly so easy. None of my teammates are invited, I don't want them taking away any of my possible betting money from the fans. I offer people a selfie or an autograph or something in exchange for a couple of spins at a slot machine and I walk out of that place a gazillionaire. This is of course a family friendly affair, children are more than welcome to come partake in the casino events maybe I'll even let them play a couple rounds of blackjack, it's never too early to learn how to gamble properly.

The mega duck Launchpad McQuack prepares a bit weird compared to most players, He does not train super intensly before the season starts, This is to prevent him from injuring himself out by pushing it too hard and draining imself of energy, We asked him more about this idea in which he explained it himself. He is also always ready to show up and do his best to be the franchise guy for the Philly Forge. while the fans, his teammates, or even management my not look at him as the face of the franchise, but young Launchpad does and he thinks that he can be the most impactful player for the team and help lead them from the back and win multiple championships with him between the sticks and he believes his focus on endurance rather then pushing himself will allow him to play for many many years for the red team in philly

The way Ricky Koivu likes to prepare before a new season is simply by unwinding and having some time for fun and self reflection. The Forge seasons are always hard battled and long due to a tight divisional race against several other strong teams, but then on top of that they have to kick it up a notch for several weeks for their playoff pushes. As such, Koivu as he gets older in his career likes to spend his break time going back to see family in Montreal, as well as hang out with his brothers across the league. As for what he is working on for his on ice product, Koivu is very set on working on his conditioning. As he gets older, Ricky's stamina and ability to log big minutes is not quite at a level he is satisfied with, so he is spending a lot of time this offseason making sure he still has the legs to be an effective contributor at both even strength and on the penalty kill.

Option 2:

Obviously as an aging professional, as the offseason lingers on and my body gradually falls apart, bit by bit, I need to train harder than ever to stay in game shape and remain at a level that I would view as acceptable. Of course, I don't do that. I sit around for most of the early and middle summer months sipping mojitos on a beach that I spent way too much of my money to vacation at, putting a massive dent in my savings for retirement which is zooming closer with every overpriced drink I order over the course of the day. When I get back to Philly, a little closer to training camp, I hit the gym pretty hard, usually pull something and have to take some time off. Getting back on the ice is something that I always tell myself I'm going to do earlier and earlier each year, but it hasn't happened so far. I get out there once or twice before training camp, as most of my workout is just weights and the bike. I also spend a considerable amount of time trying to find performance enhancing drugs that are new and not banned by the league. So far, nothing, so I think the end may be near for me unless I start changing up my offseason habits. Which I won't.

Option 2:

Brayden Point is slowly getting back from vacation and beginning to ramp up his time with his personal trainer - while aboard back him in Canada. Lucky for Mr. Point Detroit is not that far from the Canadian boarder and home is only a quick few hours away (compared with Tampa where of course is much further away.) Brayden Point makes it a mission to relax and prepare for the upcoming season. He has a lot going on as a 3rd season Detroit center and that makes him both excited and anxious breathing exercises are just as important as strength training and being able to spend time with teammates and family alike. Brayden Point makes sure to do 1 hour of cardio and 1 hour of weights each day rotating as needed along with partnering with a dietitian and personal trainer. He is confident that come the start of the season he will be a star! All in the name of Detroit SKREEEE  Falcons Falcons

1) My GM is asking me to fly back to Colorado to promote the team's new AI that's supposed to help fans book tickets and write their own erotic fan fictions or something. I don't know, I guess the team owners said we had to have something AI related to sell people or they'd pull funding. Anyway I'm on break camping in Jasper so I wasn't particularly interested in going. When they called I started screaming into the phone about how I was getting eaten by a bear and the bear is eating me so bad and I think it's eating my feet. They were really worried and asked if I'd still be able to play hockey this season and I said yes but right now it's eating my feet so bad and it hurts so much. So then I said I can't come promote the shitty AI Raptors app or whatever because my feet were so messed up from the bear attack and they said that was fine. So I got off the hook! Easy peasy!
