Enter in Big Dog. You see Big Dog's actual name is Tiger Woods, due the fact that Ubba Lodbrok, center for the Philly Forge of the SImulation Hockey League, former prospect for the Anchorage Armada of the Simulation Major Juinor Hockey League, and current member of the Finnish National Team for the International Ice Hockey Federation, found this dog around the back side of his house. You see his house back in Denmark is right up against a fair amount of woods, and he happened to be talking a walk there one sunny summer afternoon and heard little puppy sounds. So he searched and searched until he found the little pup, no bigger than a bic lighter, with these amazing striations. The only issue was he was leaving for Training Camp the following day. He wrestled with what to do for the longest time, until he had a aha moment and realized that he'd bring the dog back to Philly with him. So, after talking it over with fellow forge teammate, Tony Soprano, they booked a PJ and he took little Tiger Woods aka Big Dog across the pond and landed safely in Philly.

For Grindle? the most important person is his BIG DOG!!! HUS BUDDY MARC!!! Man, Marc is a fuckin OG pal, he pushes him to his limit even when his limit is the smallest but still really big compared to other people's limits. Me and my dog have built a strong bond. Marc used to be cracked too before that fuckin guy did that thing to his knee. what a prick. Anyways, Grindle and his big dog have gotta be the two smartest and most handsomest people in hockey, and Marc helps him reach his peak, which is the biggest peak of all.

Another crucial person to the Grindlesphere is the Grizzlies’s physiotherapist, Leah. Not only is she very funny and cool and Grindle has a crush on her, but also she helps make sure he doesnt get injured, wow. Thanks to Leah's work, no person on the grizzlies is ever injured ever. very impressive.

The true MVPs of the Seattle Argonauts are the physiotherapy and training staff who look after the players on a daily basis. They are responsible for every weight the players lift, for every stretch they do to warm up, for every therapeutic massage on a cramping leg. Without their guidance, every player would be left to their own devices when it comes to developing a training plan or when rehabbing an injury, which would lead to complete and utter chaos among the players who generally have no clue how to look after themselves to that level. The support staff have a role that goes beyond just caretaking though - they are key pieces of the locker room culture and form strong bonds with the players they work with. Having a strong system in place where all of the players feel like they're in good hands no matter what happens is key, and the team would not be the same without these people.

James Howlett decides that the best way to represent the team, and honor the fact that both him and his team are from the great white north, a wolverine would be a great pet! Obviously dragons aren't real, and komodo dragons and similar lizards are difficult to either see from the stands or maintain in a cold environment. The wolverine though? A brilliant animal that represents the fighting spirit of the team. James offers to be the head of the care team for Draco, the affectionate name of the Wolverine, and is actually the one who set the ideas in people's heads to get a pet in the first place. Unfortunately, it seems that wolverines are "too vicious" and "not representative of the team at all, James, what are you talking about?" so his genius goes unappreciated in his time. James still dreams of the wolverine though, an animal that he always felt a strange kinship with. Who knows why?

As is appropriate for the Buffalo Stampede, management has decided the team pet will be an American bison. True, it certainly isn't a traditional pet, and the animal isn't exactly domesticated like, say, cattle, but that just makes the situation all the more rewarding and unique. Taking care of the animal will require a small team of professionals, largely to keep it from getting violent or too rambunctious. However the bigger problem is the matter of finding it an appropriate home. During the warmer seasons, Buffy the bison can live in a large outdoor enclosure near the stadium, where fans can see the majestic animal as they walk to the stadium or tailgate. The difficulty is the colder months, where heavy snow would limit their diet. To combat this, a large indoor, temperature controlled enclosure will be built into the stadium to accommodate Buffy. This enclosure will be seeded with grass and other small plants for feeding and be large enough to allow for ample exercise for the team pet. (172 words)

Jiggle E Puff is fortunate to be a member of the Atlanta Inferno, a hockey team in the Simulation Hockey League. Despite their current record, they are an extremely well run team that takes care of their players. There are many fantastic team employees that deserve recognition. Jiggle is extremely close with a number of the staff, but his absolute favorite support team member is Mrs. Hotdog, GM Hotdog's wife. She very kindly packs lunches for the entire team! That is a lot of lunches for a lot of big hockey players! There are a lot of special diets as well, for example Jiggle only eats poke berries and has to get them imported from his home region of Kanto. Recently, Mrs. Hotdog has embraced the spirit of Atlanta and begun partaking in some pranks with the team. This peaked when she packed Hotdog a single carrot for lunch, just loose in his backpack.

The most important part of the non coaching staff to my player is the personal chef. Being able to eat great and healthy food has been a huge part of my player's career so far. Building a great relationship with the person that creates your meals has increased my player's ability to learn about what the important foods are to eat and how to stay in the best shape possible year round. Often times players will not eat very healthy and it hinders their ability to perform in game and the longevity of their careers. By eating really good, my player will always be able to perform at the top of their game and then hopefully have a very long and successful career. This also has opened my player's eyes on to what their food preferences are and has developed a sound understanding of what nutrients the human body needs to have.

I mean, I think it is pretty straightforward for the Wolfpack. Now, the ideal pick would be to get a Wolf and let that be the teams mascot, but at the same time, I think that would be really dangerous. It would remind me of the situation from Semi Pro when Jackie Moon fights the bear named Doogie and all hell breaks loose.

Because of that, the safest thing would be to get a Husky or some sort of Wolf style dog that would be the team mascot. Everyone loves dogs and it would be a lot better for the kids to get involved with a dog rather than a Wolf.

And to name him, I mean, we would have to either go with some sort of animal cute name or we can use it to honor our past GMs or Owner of the team and have it as an homage. What that name would be, I don’t know. But I can help with the brainstorming if my team wants me to

Prompt 2:

Gagner appreciates every one of his team's staff, and he knows they all have crucial roles to play if the team is to succeed. That said, there is one that stands head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to Gagner's respect for them, and that is the team's water boy.

Emeric drinks a lot of water. By some accounts, he drinks upwards of 10 litres of water a day. Doctors have called him a freak of nature and don't quite understand why he drinks so much water. He needs so much, that the team has actually hired a second waterboy specifically for Gagner. This waterboy ensures that Emeric always has at least two bottles full of water on standby, in addition to the one he's working on at that time. He needs to be vigilant, because Emeric drinks very quickly, and if he turns his back for more than 10 seconds, the water bottles may all be empty already. It's quite the arduous job, actually, and Emeric knows that. That's why he appreciates his waterboy.

Well the Argonauts and the Kraken have come together to complete some eldritch rituals causing a large mythological tentacled beast to be summoned that simultaneously exists in both Carolina and Seattle. It has one eye, many tentacles, a shimmering black, but also opalescent sheen, scales and fur, jet black ink, hands, a long feline body, many tails, shaking violently, purring so loud it rumbles the building, and floating ominously above the sink in the mens locker room. Both of them that is. It would however love tummy scratches and enjoy a can of salmon, and 3 medium McDonalds French Fries twice daily. It goes by many names, and exists as an entirely different entity in each players mind, as it is not entirely real or fake. Olivija has called it Grashmuul. Such a pretty name! We're not really sure when the creature arrived, and science has been unable to identify what it is, since they can't actually confirm it exists, but alas, it is bringing some great morale to the team nonetheless!

This is a hilarious prospect because I imagine all us idiots on the Buffalo Stampede would vote to have an actual Buffalo as our mascot. Imagine that. More accurately a Bison. If you know anything about bison, they are huge and they are mean as shit. So I just imagine a six feet seven inches at the shoulders, eleven and a half feet long, 2,000 pound horned animal that probably smells like absolute fuck, just wandering the concourse and assaulting all the fans while they try to buy their popcorn and beers. Imagine a literal stampede of bison racing through the concourse, and they’re all wearing giant Buffalo Stampede jerseys. During intermissions they put skates on one of them and put them out on the ice and three lucky fans get to try to outrun it. The one who survived wins a free voucher for $10 worth of food at the concession stands.

Option 1

Well The Highlanders have a few mascots (the giant hotdog and the highlander himself with those screaming bagpipes) but we don't have a team pet yet. I think the team would enjoy a sheep - they are quite a versatile animal capable of producing wool that we can donate to the local community. They are also quite docile compared to some of the other animals that can be found back in Scotland. Plus I think people would come to see the sheep with their families; I would assume that people would want to get photos of their children with the animals or even with the mascots themselves. Plus, we could reduce the cost of maintaining the land around the barn as the sheep can eat all the grass to help keep it low. I picture the sheep wearing some sort of cloak or some sort of poncho that would be made of materials that were the team colors, so then we take them to parades and get some more free marketing coming our way.

Naturally, the best pieces of the staff should usually be those who deal with the physical aspect but I believe that does not exclude other areas of note, especially the recently rising prominence of a psychologist.

Now I am not sure if that is a common deal in hockey but soccer teams have been finding some curious success in bringing along a psychologist to help their players with the mental aspect of the game, especially when it comes to the pressure of playing a high-level sport. That could be pretty handy to adopt around in hockey as well, I think. I mean, Brazil's national team does not have a psychologist and they have been pretty much pathetic for the past couple of months anyway, maybe there is something to it when it comes to having a psychologist around, you know, just a hunch.

Sunrise would probably get along pretty well with them, given how his father taught him to be nice with the staff and all.
