Prompt One
James is known to grate against authority figures so it's no surprise that he managed to piss off the manager. Probably said some rude words about the manager's mother. But if given annoying chores, James will find a way to escalate this petty squabble. During the assigned time, James replaces all of the bulbs with LED sure, but most of them are only screwed in a little bit. The design spelled out by the bright lights is best left unsaid. So James has to go up there again, this time right before the match since there's so little time before the game starts. So as the audience is filing in, they see not a ladder or a lift hoisting James to all of the lights, but a reminder of James's roots in the Canadian wilderness. Using rope, piton, and hammers, rock climbing to reach all of the lights and replacing them one by one. James went viral that day, so it ended up being a win for him at the end of it all. Next time he gets in trouble, James will just have to clean the bathroom.

Written Option 2:

Oliver Castillon is not a stranger to the spotlight at this point, nor is he afraid of it. He's not a Big Star, but he's not a nobody. He's reasonably conventionally attractive, well-spoken, and has good manners, so out of all of the options in the room, he's not an unreasonable pick to handle interviews. Still, with bigger names and more star power on the roster in LA, he isn't a primary choice the way that Adam Prpich or Derek Martin are. For the most part, Oliver is completely okay with the level of media interaction and fan recognition he has. There are some times where it's been inconvenient, like going out to dinner with a visiting cousin and having to face dating rumors, but he's accepted a certain amount of hazard against a quiet life. When he speaks to the press, it tends to be thoughtful but honest and just a little bit jesting. He likes wordplay a lot.

Option 2:

Roisin would be spending her time working in the Blizzard’s media department, hosting a podcast or show called the Blizzard Buzz. During it, they would profile members of the Blizzard, cover Blizzard games, hot prospects, drafts and so on to aid the team. This doesn’t even mention that she would likely be a big part of the team’s marketing campaign given their media profile, something to which I imagine they’re very proud of. As for addressing the media, I think it would come rather naturally to Roisin given her aforementioned involvement with the Blizzard media department and they would make quite a show of it. I guarantee you they would likely use their appearances within the campaign to make at least a few sponsorship deals, both for themselves and the Blizzard. All in all, you can count on Roisin to be at the forefront of any Blizzard media campaign and likely end up becoming the face of the team down the line.

Option 2:

Matiss does not mind the spotlight of the media, but he does not really have to worry about it too much due to the air, being a lot of high profile players on his team, who take up the majority of the spotlight from the media. If Matiss were to get called down to the media to answer questions and talk, he would be perfectly fine and would not make a big deal of doing it. Since Matiss does not have the high profiles as some of his other teammates, the media does not ask him too many questions, but he is willing to answer any and all questions that are asked to him. As far as marketing goes everybody at some point helps out with marketing for the team and Matiss is willing to help out the team in any way that he can. As far as marketing goes whether that is showing up to events or doing commercials, he will always be there for his team.

Cal Juice refuses outright to do this. For many reasons this does not make sense.

1.) it is not his job to replace lights, he is a hockey player. If he were under contract to perform these duties he would do them happily but as a member of SHLPA the collective bargaining agreement does not include this duty.

2.) even if this were covered by the collective bargaining agreement this would be extremely dangerous. Having him perform this duty entirely by himself would foolish and could result in a star player getting injured.

3.) this is completely unprofessional. Personal issues do not belong in the work place. If you want to punish Cal Juice for doing something that has upset you then you need to find a way to do it within the confines of the SHLPA and SHL CBA. If your idea of professional development is assigning duties outside of the scope of expertise there are plenty of other franchises and/or leagues that would respect Cal Juice both as an individual and as a player more than you.

Option 1:
The first thing to know about the Anchorage GM is that he is - sorry, he was bald. So, when a friend introduced him to The Hair Club, For Men, he considered it something of a game changer. His new hair gave him confidence, self-assurance, even arrogance. He was a new man, out there acting like the cock of the walk. Do I have to spell it out to you? It made him act like an arrogant jackass. Elaina Beneski had enough of it. She finally snapped, during an all hands meeting. She marched up to him, put him in a headlock and peeled the toupee off of his head and declared, "I don't like this thing and here's what I'm doing with it," as she stepped to a nearby open windows and hurled the offending hairpiece to the ground below where it was torn up by dogs.

Kirby is not one to put himself in front of the spotlight but he is a pretty big part of the team and core so he has to be involved in the marketing campaigns. There’s a lot of talented players but as someone that’s been around for a while it’s normal to be included in the marketing.

After games addressing the media is part of the process and it’s not too bad. It’s bad when they have a lot of questions after a loss, and sometimes the questions aren’t really the best, but it is what it is. That being said, Kirby knows that as a veteran he needs to speak and set a tone with the media. When the team or players don’t play well he definitely puts himself first and puts the blame on himself so the younger guys don’t take as much heat. It’s something he’s learned to deal with and doesn’t phase him when the media or fans are on him for his play.

Prompt 1 - 161 words
Trevor Lahey is being forced to change all the light bulbs in the stadium to led bulbs. Why you might ask? what did he did he do to deserve this kind of treatment? It shocked me too, as well as the rest of the team. All Trevor did was park in the GMs parking spot at the stadium one time! just once! it's the closet spot to the locker rooms why shouldn't the star player get the closest spot to the door. But the jokes on the GM, Trevor is not handy at all, he thinks he is, but I wouldn't trust him to plug in a lamp, let alone change out all the bulbs in the entire rink! So hopefully his teammates can talk some sense into the GM otherwise this could be a disaster waiting to happen. The smart thing to do would be for Lahey to hire someone to do it for him, Afterall he's definitely not poor.

Option 2:
Slava personally is not the biggest media guy. He’s much more interested in hearing the thoughts and ideas of his teammates. The analysis of your own play from the people you share the ice with is seemingly more valuable to Slava compared to media articles. In terms of marketing for Nevada, Slava would likely just be standing to the side not really a limelight style of guy. He might be the fantastic pick to be modeling new gloves or even skate laces but any other products probably aren’t his style. Definitely a man of few but, impactful words when it comes to interviews. Sponsorship deals and earning money are always something lucrative enough to lure in any player to provide their thoughts and multiple exposures to mass media but, Slava isn’t the most interested in that. He’d much rather spend his time working on his personal skills or his chemistry between teammates as opposed to trying to grow his individual brand to further his career monetarily.

Written Option 2: Hockey is back, so is the media covering it. Each player gets their time on the spotlight, but how does your player handle it? How big part they are for their team’s marketing campaigns and how does your player feel about that? How much they like addressing the media, trying to get out with as few words as possible or trying to make themselves as well known to land some hefty sponsorship deals?

Levin is now starting his sixth season as a member of the San Francisco Pride, and as such, has become somewhat of a household name, especially following his status as a former first overall pick. However, he would much rather not be the front and center piece of the team's marketing image, as he feels others on the team deserve a bigger place in the spotlight, including his two linemates Logan Webb and Dominik Winters. People generally prefer the more offensive players, so it's safe to say their names are more frequently on the fans' lips than a rugged, albeit small two-way forward that has been lauded as a PK specialist for most of his career. However, Levin is at peace with that fact, as it is the way he wanted his career to go - play a responsible, 200-feet game and let others show their offensive prowesses. He has been offered a watchmaker sponsorship, which he agreed to due to his origins, and that has paid a small amount of money, enough for him to be able to afford a new, top-of-the-line suit for his wintery escapades in the mountains.

Option 2:
Javelin Bodine is not one to be a big face in the media. He doesn’t enjoy being in the spotlight with reporters or with the fans outside of the rink. He doesn’t live a hermit lifestyle, but he definitely enjoys his alone time and prefers to not be recognized out in public. On the ice is a different story. He really enjoys the starlight on the ice with the fans. Recently Javelin was nominated for rookie of the year and he was petrified that he might win and have to give an acceptance speech. Even though that award would be incredible, he was relieved when he wasn’t chosen as the winner. He was happier with the all rookie team as there’s no speech required with that accolade. As Javelin progresses on his career I’m sure he will become more accustomed to media coverage and fans outside of the rink. He’s going to have to if his plans come to fruition and he becomes a superstar.
