Trevor lahey has always been one for getting into trouble, even when he was a little lad. Over the year he learned quite a bit about how to talk to the authorities and was able to get out of a lot of trouble this way, so naturally these skills would translate to ice hockey penalties, right? Having video evidence during the games of his penalties makes this a little hard to argue, but that has never stopped Trevor before. First he’ll say it wasn’t him and that refs are a bunch of dummy’s, which will probably land him in more trouble and more time off the ice and in the box. But once he sees the tape he always comes around and realizes he’s in the wrong, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to apologize, he’s also known for doubling down when he’s in the wrong. The best thing for Trevor is to just avoid penalties all around, he’s not very nice to people of authority.
Stockfish is a powerful chess computer and widely considered to be one of the best in the world, it's also known for being open source. This opens up a lot of doors for the NHL, who could create their own brand of stockfish which can be trained using simulated games and, just like its chess counterpart, give realtime analysis and feedback based on a player's actions on the ice. If a player does something that stockfish doesn't like, in chess terminology a blunder, their team will be assessed a special new penalty, a "Stocksfish Violation" which is nominally a 5 minute major penalty, except that it comes with a condition for an early release. The offending player must play a bullet chess match against a 400 elo rated bot, a victory or draw will allow them to be released early, however if they lose then they are forced to sit for the full 5 minutes. The match will be livestreamed from the penalty box on twitch with analysis from Chess GM and current Bullet Chess world champion Hikaru Nakamura.
My player is someone who is very passive on the ice, but strategically, so when it comes to getting penalties, they are not too happy when they happen because they rarely do. At the end of the day, it is all about winning, so the next two minutes are all about thinking what I will do when I get out, but you can bet that I will be screaming internally at the refs that they made a terrible call. Sometimes I show my emotion too much, so making sure I calm down before I get out is the key because the ref may just want to throw me back in there for my terrible attitude. I always make sure to have a good conversation with the keeper in the box though because those are the types of conversations that calm me down. Some people call me a whinner for how I act, but at the end of the day, I'll make sure to come out on the other side.
Option 2:
Hoang tends to go to the box once ever 4 games. No one’s pleased when they get popped for a charge, or get stuck with another player and you get the call, but he serves it with due silence and without giving the referee a reason to hit him with anything else. Reservation is the best word to describe his guilty demeanor. If the opportunity presents itself, Hoang might try to goad his assailant into a call, but this is rare. Hoang isn’t a man who acts on rage and instinct. Five steps ahead, he’s more focused on what his coach wants him to do when he gets out. Leaving the box is just as important to him as entering it, engaging in the play again, possibly making a scoring chance out escaping behind the defense. It’s a game of inches, where you can’t go out of bounds. Ensuring that when guys who disappear from the ice surface for 2-5 minutes come back when they least expect it is a big part of what Hoang considers the penalty gameplan.
My new rule is that we get rid of the instigator rule and instead we add a lil' bitch rule where if someone challenges you to a fight and you refuse you are immediately ejected from the game. Lately hockey has been going in a direction where fighting and hitting is not as important and in order to change that we need to find a way to get players back to fighting. This would be huge for getting more fans in seats because one of the biggest draws for casual fans is fighting and in order to grow the game you have to cater to casual fans.
There could be some consequences to this like CTE and injured players having shorter careers, thankfully we play with injuries off so I suspect this would not impact players' futures outside of hockey. I would also like to note that goalies are included in the rules and skaters can absolutely challenge goalies. Time to sign an official EBUG.
Option 1:
I thought it was unorthodox of the league to approach a Rookie to determine what rulebook changes should be made to boost the amount of power plays in a game. But it was hard to pass up such a golden opportunity to change the game in way that would help my career.
Change number one to the rulebook would be that only teams with green and purple jerseys would be allowed to have an extra skater on the ice at all times... as a treat. This would allow an almost constant state of power play hockey for my team and thus fits the criteria set forth by the league.
Change number two would be the creation of a Minnesota Obstruction penalty.This would get called all game whenever an opposing player attempts to stop the movement of a player currently playing for the Minnesota Monarchs. You wouldn't cut off an ancient king or queen and today should be no different.

Dominik tends to be fairly understanding when he gets penalties, but if he gets called for something borderline in a way that he disagree with, it can cause issues. He usually tries to talk to the refs and linesmen in a normal friendly way, but if he were to get called for an elbow or a board on what was a normal hit, it would frustrate him and could lead to a grouchy Dominik in the penalty box. It’s something that he understands is mostly subjective and of course there are calls that cannot be disputed, no matter how annoyed, but there are calls that he finds that the refs don’t give the benefit do the doubt or he feels they just make a bad call. No one is perfect however and it is one of those things that there will always be critics. Dominik likes to think he is not very high on the ref’s lists of disliked players.

When Kekkonen takes a penalty, he usually doesn't feel too bad about it. It isn't good to dwell on the mistake or on the bad call, best to take the time in the box to take a breather and focus on the rest of the game. Sometimes the calls get to Kekkonen, but he has been working with sports psychologists in Seattle that have been helping him maintain a calm, collected demeanor. It is important to keep in mind that there is usually still a lot of time left on the clock. Kekkonen can't afford to take too many penalties in any single game, let alone risk getting kicked out of a game. He is relied upon as a top 4 defender and a top power play weapon for the Argonauts. Missing significant time from any game would negatively effect the team. Acknowledging this, Kekkonen has become determined to continue playing with an edge, but doing everything he can to stay focused on the task at hand and ultimately helping his team win.

While May O'Nayse has of course had zero issues playing hockey against men or women but when it comes to advantages or potential advantages of course that could help May be even better at hockey. The new rule that comes with a 2 minute minor penalty and that is that you are not allowed to check a woman player in the league if you are a man. There are a lot of women players in the league but of course there is a physical difference between the two genders and it is a good way to protect the female players in the league. It is of course going to be a huge advantage not only for women players but also teams that employ them which gives them more incentivize to roster more women players in the SHL or SMJHL. The extra powerplay opportunities would be super advantageous and it would be absolutely wonderful. Players would now avoid May and she could have a lot of easy goals without being checked off the puck. What a great rule!
While I know I'm not a perfect angel out there I think I get a few more penalties called on me then there should be. Since that's the case, I'm generally upset when I'm sent to the penalty box I probably didn't deserve it but maybe this one time I did. While I sit in the box I contemplate my revenge, while I could take a run at a player it's better to make them take the next penalty instead. So for the two minutes I'm in the box I think of ways to make sure that the next penalty is on them. My favorite way is to rile an opponent up, get them to do something stupid either during play or after the whistle. But I am our team's most reliable penalty kill so I do my best to stay out of the box

So my player has a really interesting way of dealing with the penalty box mishap — I think lots of players let it get to them that they took a penalty, and beat them selves up over it. But my guy does not have that issue whatsoever, I don’t really a revenge tactic in mind either. I just simply accept the fact that the refs made the call, and move on with the rest of the game. I think the one thing players need to realize is that the game isn’t personal, the refs likely aren’t out to get you, and you just need to focus on playing your game, and contributing when your time in the box draws to a close. If anything, you should be working three times as hard to go out there and score — make the opponent terrified that you are motivated to score a goal post penalty! EA SPORTS — ITS IN THE GAME!
“I thought I was a goalie, but STA told me forget being a goalie they make nothing, and no one cares about them. Guess what I was a center all along and I had no idea. Now I am the toast of the town, and I am getting offers from all the GMs and Scouts.”
Written Option 2: How does your player react to getting put into the penalty box? Do they have a fit of rage calling the call unfair? Do they focus on the next two minutes trying to think about what they’ll do when they get back into the game? Does their reaction change when the call is very obvious compared to when it’s a little more ambiguous whether or not the penalty was the right call? Do they plot their revenge on the player who drew the penalty?
Jølngüštrâädüvich DuBølk has seen the penalty box a number of times throughout his career, but not as much as one would believe. That being said, he wants to be in the box more. The reason for this is simple: GRIT. Not "Grit" as in toughness (though he wants this to apply too), but GRIT/60, an amazing stat that was created years ago by a certain individual. He wants to be at the top of this list, so he wants all the penalty minutes he can get. For this, he actually will complain (loudly) to the referee as he is escorted to the box, and will attempt to fight anyone on the way in. After he gets out, he goes up to the biggest player on the ice, then will attempt to get them to fight him. It works all the time, as you will see from the fight numbers in the league.
