Written Option 1: Does your player play pranks on their teammates? If so, what kinds of pranks do they pull on them? How do your teammates react to these pranks? If your player isn’t the type to pull pranks themselves, are they the target of any pranks? Do they fall for them if they can be avoided? Feel free to describe how your player pranks their teammate or their reaction to getting pranked themselves!
Keeping a light-hearted environment can be a sight for sore eyes during difficult times. Beyond performance itself, keeping the morale high and the team spirit is a huge factor for some people, Andrea being amongst those who believe it. Even something as innocent as sneaking in useless or embarrasing trinkets into people's pockets, or something uncomfortable like an ice cube into their sockets before they get their clothes changed for training. One he enjoys on the ocassion is handing over treats for his teammate to have a snack during training breaks, only for them to find out a few of which would have their flavour turned around (Some sweet snacks would be salty, and salty would be obnoxiously sugary). As such, since he likes to maintain a hard-working yet deeply close conection with his peers, his take on being on the receiving end of a prank is... he welcomes them, encourages even! After all, that'd mean the eagerness to participate in this silly yet endearing dynamic is enough so to warrant people getting into the effort, even if a mild one, that putting a prank involves.

Option 2
Peyton Campeau, the king of underhanded tactics. The extent that Peyton will go to get ahead includes pretty much every trick in the book, it’s all part of the game for him. The first line of tactic is to attack the opponent psychologically, to really attempt to get into their head and make them lose their focus and to knock them out of the zone. The second method is to attempt to draw penalties if needed, try and incite some unsportsmanlike conduct to go to the other side. Plan C is the most controversial, lay someone out when the ref isn’t looking, this of course is a great way to get into a fight but that’s intentional. A good fighter will be intimidating to those who try and step up to them and depending on your position on the ice, you can use the momentum heading towards you to knock someone out.

When it comes to Raymond he is 100% a prankster, its how you keep things light and make the locker room or the hotel the place to be. It also helps all the guys bond as long as it doesn't go to far, there is a line that you have to make sure you don't cross and every good prankster on the team knows who's line is where. As far as the pranks go, there are a million but a few always come to mind. For the light hearted ones, the ones for all the boys its easy, you can start simple with the gum down the gloves, or the loose cap on the water bottle. Then come in the more complex ones. That's where you start to bring in moving the rookies entire hotel room out into the lobby of your hotel floor, or you could always have the car prank wars, the options are endless.

Red Kirkby is way too serious to be involved in any of the constant on and off ice pranks that go on behind the scenes at the Philadelphia Forge. He is an old man now and the thought of having to deal with any potential human resources complaint because someone took something the wrong way or a prank went too far is way too much of a headache for him now. Sometimes there are pranks played by others on the team though and they can be creative and funny. Base Pack is a notorious prankster and at the minute the rookie goalie LaunchPad McQuack is the one feeling the brunt of those pranks. At the end of the day it is all in good fun though and the players make sure not to take anything beyond what would be considered in good taste or anything that someone may consider to be bullying as that is not acceptable on the Forge under any circumstances.

Bas O'Bigbers Jr might be a light hearted fun guy in the locker room but that does not mean he enjoys "tricks." In fact from the light hearted goofs to the major tricks to get an advantage Bas O'Bigbers Jr generally dislikes them all. For example all the hazing that goes on in locker rooms to introduce a player to their new team mates is totally insane behavior and it is the kind of thing that Bas would rather not have to deal with. Then when it comes to tricks to get an advantage on the ice. This is stuff that ruins the good faith nature of sport that makes the game worthwhile playing at all. Whether that is faking an injury, getting into a player's head using a trick, or the gross tactic of never showering so as to gross out your opponent. It all takes away from the beauty of the game and has no place in the sport.

Option 2
Ofcourse I like tricks to gain an advantage over our sworn enemies and opponents. Who does not? The best trick of them all is just to be high on dope and shit faced of all the alcohol we consumed in pre game warmup. They will not know what hit them when they get on the ice and face us. They will be so baffled that they do not know what to do and we steam roll them, because we got such high tollerance for coke and alcohol that it only makes us play better. Besides that we also mess with our visiting locker room. Showers do not work, benches are crooked, fridge is out of order, food delivery is late etc. Also when they have stashed their hockey gear out in the dressing room and they are back at their hotel we cut their laces of their skates and steal their stuff.

Option 2: When you’re not as technically gifted as other players, you have to find ways to even the playing field. Leo knows this, and the main way he does that is with his size, but he also throws in some tricks as well. He won’t go for dirty hits that could injure another player but a an elbow to the side or a stick into the back would go unnoticed. As most other hockey players would, he defends his teammates when they’re on the receiving end of one of these, which is sort of hypocritical but at the same time they’re trying to win so you have to bend the rules. One “trick” Leo is very against is embellishment. He never does it and usually targets players more if they do. After all, if they’re going to act like they got hit way too hard and try to draw a penalty, why not actually hit them that hard. Penalties for him either way and if he actually does it he gets the satisfaction of doing it instead of playing clean and getting called anyways

Dirty tricks are all part of the arsenal that Cade de Vries has for inflicting maximum damage onto the enemy team, at any time during a matchup. Anytime for a match up, as far as de Vries is concerned, can include pre and post game antics along with the usual in game antics. Pre-game antics can include paying off the matenence team to let him have access into the cooling vents for the opposing locker room, and being able to sabotoge AC units, the lights within the locker room, and what not. Pre game as well, he can cut heat to the showers for a post game nightmare for the team, win or lose. During the game, he has your usual dirty hits, but the mastery lies in the effectiveness vs the seen effectiveness of a dirty hit. A cheap shot to the neck will get you tossed, while a perfect knee to the opposition leg can make a man go from mobile to immobile fast with no one the wiser
