Task 2:

Well if this season is any indication, Jussi Mutou has not found a way to outplay opponents who surpass him in a certain skill set. However, when it came to the SMJHL, Jussi Mutou was among the most physical players to go up against. No matter who the Raptors would go up against, Jussi Mutou would ramp up the physical play at one end to wear down the opponent. And then when they were gassed,he was ready to blast a shot past the goaltender.

With so few goals scored for Jussi this season, he’s gonna have to rely on his teammates more than ever if he is to succeed with the Montreal Patriotes. His strategy going forward is going to have to be to get faster and more skilled. It’s clear he’s unlikely to be able to out muscle opponents this soon in his career. So he’ll be training his finesse play to try and out-skill them. That means getting himself in position to make more high danger plays and letting the game develop from there.

During the season 77/78 off season, Will Nuck was approached by members of a super secret organization who are working on a program called Project Staples. The group who founded the organization that overseas Project Staples are the offspring of the Nazi regime scientist who became part of Project Paper Clip during post WW2. Their goal is to dominate the world in ice hockey for Germany. Although it's a far cry from true world domination the German population has seen enough death and hate for many lifetimes and would like to rule through sports and dance. Being of German decent, Nuck was a prime candidate for the radical transformation of Project Staples. The technic is simple in theory and starts with replacing the athlets blood with a energy drink based gel that prevents muscle fatigue and strengthens them against tears and pulls. The second part of the experiment will see the individuals skull be replaced with a high density graphite compound to prevent concussions and other head related injuries.

As a young player in the SHL, Rence Sykut often fits overmatched against his elder peers and opponents. He has worked hard to manage his frustrations with this by not lashing out and taking silly penalties while also not getting too down on himself. He knows that he just needs to keep grinding in training and soon he will be the one outmuscling and overpowering the opposition in a few short seasons. Playing on a team with SHL legends Vaseline Podcalzone, William Salming, and Landon Fischermann has shown Rence how to act as a professional and what to aspire to as a professional hockey player. His teammates always remind him to keep a cool head and not sweat the small mistakes. Rence hopes to pass this mentality along to prospects and rookies coming into the league after him because it has been crucial in his development to have the right mindset in this league.

Johnny Shuffleboard very often has to take on opponents that are better than him. That is basically due to not being very good at hockey, but look, he is getting paid to play the game anyways, so it's hard to complain.
Shuffleboard is a fairly gritty player. While not particularly large, he is not scared to get involved in puck battles in the corner. Due to his size he often loses them, but the battle itself can be an inspiration to his teammates. If the little guy can get involved in the corner, the big guns should too.
But as a whole, when playing the better teams in the league, Shuffleboard is usually just out of his depth. He tries hard, but he usually ends up getting carried by his defensemate, or finds himself stapled to the bench. There is a reason he only plays about 14 minutes a game. He just isn't good. His teammates are what he relies on.

While Jennifer is an incredibly talented hockey player, her biggest weakness is definitely strength and physicality. She doesn’t hit or take hits very well, and strong opponents can cause her problems. The best way she is able to handle that is by using her speed and agility to get around them. Jennifer has good hockey IQ and is able to tell when someone’s about to hit her to take the puck, and shes able to deke and maintain the puck while leaving the defender behind. She also relies on her larger teammates as well and will pass to them to drive to the net, or she can go around the edge and take shots from the boards or the high slot, or even play behind the net if it looks clear. On defense, she’s able to play defense with her stick instead of her body, and is able to have her other teammates help when a player with the puck needs to be hit.

There's only one way to make the ultimate goalie in the SHL: the regression serum. Created in a hidden underground lab by the world's least qualified hockey scientists, when applied to a goalie, it supercharges their FHM attributes by dropping them all to 5, the pinnacle of FHM goaltending ability. No longer held back by the shackles of "earning" or "effort", the new super goalie will be unleashed on the SHL to dominate the likes of pitiful high earning goaltenders, stealing games singlehanded and forever proving the harm caused by goalie TPE. Armed with additional salary cap space, their teams can double up on supporting their new star talent by loading the team with elite forwards. Rumor has it the team behind the serum is hard at work on an even greater version that would push goalie attributes below the minimum threshold of 5, possibly even to negative values. What horrible results will this new serum have? The world may not be ready to find out.

Written Option 2: How does your player take on players who outmatch them in one way or another? How do they outplay an opponent more skillful? How do they win battles against a more physical opponent? Do they rely on their teammates to help them succeed? Or does your player have a secret weapon to take on anyone they come across?

Fresh off a cup winning season as one of the elite players in the league there aren't too many that outmatch Oskar right now. The punishing power forward finished last season inside the top 10 in goals, points and hits and is a threat at both ends of the ice. That being said the secret is out now and teams will come better prepared to handle the top end forwards on San Francisco like Oskar. In a one on one it's unlikely anyone can significantly surpass him enough to totally shut him out, but there are definitely some players in the league that can match his size and speed to reduce his efficiency on the ice. When Oskar finds himself in a matchup with a tough opponent his gut instinct is to raise his game, but with several seasons under his belt now he's learned to lean on his teammates. It's especially effective when his linemates are also elite like Viktor Hargreeves, Logan Webb, Edzus Ozolins and Luke Laraque to name just a few.

Honestly, asking how one takes on another who has much more skill than you is the million dollar question every team asks of their players. I don't think any one of us has a 'magic pill' or 'secret weapon' in their arsenal their willing to share because then every other team in the league will want to emulate it in one way or the other. In the case of my player, he has trained all his life around some of the best players in the world and it's just muscle memory for him. Shutting down the world's best players takes years of experience and requires lessons that aren't taught but learned over years and years of trial and error. You can't also do it alone, it requires the combined skill of all of your teammates to accomplish the ultimate goal. I know this doesn't answer the overarching question but I feel like it does.

Option 2: While not being tiny, Nor Ge is what could be considered as a small player at this level, because he is only five feet and ten inches tall, which is below the average of most high caliber hockey leagues. His small height combined with his weight of 185 pounds means Nor is something at a significant disadvantage when he gets into a board battle with other players. To compensate for his lack of size, Nor uses his brain to try to get the best out of his opponents. Often, Nor will try to optimize the chances of his team getting out of the board battle with the possession of the puck. He will slow down, let the other player get in front of him and then immediately pin this player down on the board with his leg. This will give an opportunity and time to another player of his team to come and take the puck away to start a transition.
