Blade Hunter isn’t one for following every little thing folks say about him online. Social media's out there, sure, but Blade don’t need it to tell him how he’s playing. He checks in sometimes, just to see what the fans are saying and all, but he don’t live by it. Most of what folks post is decent, kinda positive – they like his game, the way he plays rough and tough, the kind of guy who don’t mind mixing it up a bit. But, sure, there's always a few chirping types talking smack, saying he’s too heavy in the skates or taking too many penalties. Blade ain't one to start nothing online, though. He don’t tweet every thought or snap pics every hour. When he does hop on, it’s more like a quick check-in, maybe tossing a thumbs up here or there to some fans – just letting them know he sees them, but he’s not getting all wrapped up in it. He leaves the big talk to others, don’t need all that attention on him off the ice. Sometimes, fans try pulling him into conversations, but Blade knows better. He’s all about the game and letting his playing do the talking. Ain't needing no drama, just wants folks to watch him on the ice, not worry about him online. Social media’s there, but Blade don’t let it get in his head too much.

Through out Logan Webb's career he has played up and down the line as needed to help however he can in order to get the San Fransico Pride another win. This means he has played with many teammates during his years in San Fransico. Despite bouncing up and down the lineup, playing forward and defense, one player has been his right hand man through out his entire career and at some point in an season he will spend an extended look playing along his wing.
Dominik Winters has been Logan's go to Center since they entered the league together. They have battled against line-ups that were better than the two of them and more recently with experience and knowledge cruised by weaker opponents as they have become stronger. The two have become a Ying Yang, with Webb typically driving the offense knowing he can be a little more risky in his pursuit to get the puck. As Winters will be there for support if needed or watch his back when Webb makes a mistake with his outstanding two way play. Because these two grew up together in the big league they can be separated for extended periods of time and will not miss a beat once they are finally back on a line together. It is not just on the ice, but off the ice as well, they go out together at various sporting events, vacation spots, and city celebrations. They know each other like few others in the league get to know a teammate, making them among the best in the league. Sig by Lazyeye

Option 2:
Mumei is someone who constantly checks social media to see how they discuss her in public. Most of the media is talking about her stellar sophomore season in Great Falls. Putting 43 points in 49 games and have been a key to the "success" of the team despite the rookies not preforming. The only main criticism of Mumei online is that she has been not a goal scorer, and is an "assist merchant". She ultimately decides to respond to these critics and says “If you think goals are the only thing that matters, why do you consider yourself a reporter of this sport when you don’t know anything?" Then, Mumei decides to explain her experiences in the J and how it should help effect the development of your skills on a live space. She then decides to use her platform to push the agenda of how the J can be used as a platform for future management jobs when you eventually retire. (162 words)

Media Graders Senior Member Quote:Social media is part of the everyday life wanted we it or not, and thus it is easier than ever before to find what people are thinking and writing about you. How much does your player follow what is written or talked about them around the internet? Is it mostly positive or negative? Do they interact with said media and if they do how? Maybe they are starting the conversations themselves to get more attention? my player doesnt give a shit about what anybody has to say about him. especially on social media. why? because its easy for neck beards to sit behind their pc and keyboard warrior all day long with useless opinions. like my mother once said, opinions are like assholes, everyone has them. unless its somebody in a position to critique something in a manner that lends itself to improvement or the possibility of it, mclovin isnt interested. as you become more successful, you get more nut swingers who think that just because they can post an opinion, its a valid one. we all know that is far from the truth on pretty much every topic anymore. in fact, maybe mclovin can successfully start a new movement, where we just ditch social media all together. hopefully that gets people talking just as much as it would if he had a fake account like kevin durant and went around trying to defend himself on twitter.

Grzegorz had a great relationship with his old backup, Stun Gun. Stunner got shipped to Atlanta over the offseason as a Panthers cap casualty, and is now getting a much-deserved shot as their starter. Before that happened, the two of them used to play rock-paper-scissors between periods. Grzegorz usually lost, but they still went out and got carne asada fries after practices. The new backup, George Walsh, isn't the most active person Grzegorz has ever seen. When he's not on the ice stopping pucks and randomly getting a shutout, his eyes kind of glaze over and he doesn't say anything. He has to be shuffled around by the goalie coaches and GM, who don't let any media talk to him or encourage him to interact with his teammates. Adam Prpich thinks Walsh is a zombie, while Alex Piastri has bet a steak dinner that he's alive but has some kind of locked-in syndrome that's only alleviated by puck-stopping. Grzegorz doesn't think so. Grzegorz just thinks he gave up 16 goals one time in junior and never recovered. Grzegorz never would have in his place.

Anchor: Harassment and Bullying has moved from an in-life issue to an online issue. It is an issue that is even worse for people who are usually in the public eye. Our Sports Reporter has the story.
Reporter: You missed the game-winning goal; or worse, you missed the game-tying goal, or worst of all you allowed the game-losing goal! You have to speak on not just letting down your team and the fans in the stadium, but the fans and people online. We asked SHL player Jeffrey Bjelland about how he deals with what he hears about himself online. Bjelland: Yeah, you never get tagged for the good stuff you do, you only get noticed for when you do something bad. And that's when being online is tough. I honestly have my notifications off 24/7because I don't want to see my name anywhere for my own mental health! Reporter: Bjelland also said that most players try not to be on the internet or if they do they do it with a hidden account, without their name attached to it. Anchor: Be sure to report any threats or harassment to website support or tell a trusted adult if you are being bullied online. Code: 202 Words

SMJHL GM Daft Chipmunk Code: Written Option 1 - 198 words Viktor absolutely loves getting the chance to talk about everyone AROUND him, rather than himself, because historically he has always taken up a lot more of the spotlight than he ever wanted. He was beyond pleased on the one occasion where he was asked what the reason for his success in the league has been, because he will tell anyone who will listen that it's all thanks to his line mates. For his rookie season, Viktor finessed his way into a Jesster nomination with Kyle Murray and fellow rookie Ignacio Garza, but the following season was where the SFP magic really happened. For Vik's second season in the SHL, Garza was swapped out for the newest rookie: Oskar Scholz. As far as Vik is concerned, Oskar should be the one winning all the awards and sitting at the top of the leaderboards. The duo had immediate chemistry, and they've stayed side by side for every single season since. While the right wing would become what continues to be a more or less revolving door, it never slowed Oskar and Viktor down, and it's going to be an awful day whenever it is that they do have to part.

Written Option 2: It's never a good idea to keep track of what someone is saying if you've got thin skin. Luckily for The Wog, there's absolutely no problem with that. You kind of gain a thick skin after the apocalypse, or when fans get angry at your seeming change in profession. That said though, Woggins has to troll a few people. With the number of sassy characters he's played over the years, it's seeped into him and he string some more passionate haters along to antagonize for his own amusement. He doesn't go to the extent of harassment, but sometimes a man gets bored grifting old, religious Southern women. At the end of the day though, Woggins accepts that people's online opinions are disillusioned and based on a very thin layer of information and not the full picture. Who cares if their opinions are positive or negative? He's got a cup to win, and movies to star in.
